“Once Akash set me up with invisibility and taught me some basic killing skills, I deleted StealthViper999—who, I had to admit, was neither stealthy nor viper-like—and created a new avatar, who I called InvisibleDeath. For obvious reasons. At this point, it was Friday afternoon, and most weekends, Reese spends every waking minute (when he’s not at a soccer game) on MetaWorld. So I was all amped up to get my revenge ASAP. But that particular Friday, Reese got a 57 on his math test.

But Reese and Xander could care less about it, because they were too immature to feel shame. You know how little babies walk around naked, just letting their business hang out all over the place, because they don’t know any better? Mentally speaking, that’s pretty much where Reese and Xander were at. Which meant if I wanted to make them feel pain, I had to hit them in a place where they actually felt it. So I asked myself: what does Reese REALLY care about?”
