One by one, my online friends stopped showing up.

But they never logged off.

At first, I thought life had simply gotten in the way. Then I discovered the truth—every one of them had died... except the last friend, who had vanished without a trace. Yet every night, their accounts still appeared online, silently watching our server.

When a message arrives from someone who should be impossible to hear from, I realize there's something far more terrifying than ghosts haunting the internet.

Some friendships never end.

Some people...

Never log off.
