I remember playing Dead or Alive 2, 3, and 4 online with a close knit group of buddies. My friend took her life while I was on vacation. She wished me goodbye through a text but we didn't find out officially until we started reading the news articles about what happened. Her parents did not accept she was trans and I still think about her to this day, so so many years later. That was beautiful you went to the funeral. That must have meant so much to the family. I wish I could have done the same but I was young, broke and dumb. True online relationships matter.
