Getting your cover blown is a mortifying experience.
As everyone knows, with the extra layer of anonymity, a person online and the same person in real life are, more often than not, two completely different people.
And the mortification of ranting like a maniac online only to be immediately doxxed by someone you know in real life is comparable to writing a novel online, having your relatives find out about it, and then watching them read it, only for them to discover the very first chapter contains a line like, "No matter how I think about it, I can't get in."
After Furin finished her reply on the forum, it finally dawned on her.
'A user named "Retired Elf" who was just a smidgen more knowledgeable about Magic than she was, and an Elf named Eldron who suddenly appears in the Northern Domain to "visit a friend" at Beheading Plaza… Isn't that a little too much of a coincidence?'
Upon realizing just how foolish she'd been, Furin displayed her powerful mental fortitude.
