A boy called Ben played online games where he could be totally anonymous — no real name, no face, just a username. He noticed that with nobody knowing it was him, he acted differently. He'd say things to strangers he'd never say as himself, ruin games for people for fun, quit on teammates, be a bad sport, because there were no consequences and no one would ever know it was Ben. He told himself it didn't count — it wasn't "really" him, it was just an anonymous player, just a game. But the things he did still happened to real people on the other end. And a small part of him knew that how he behaved when nobody could see him might be the truest thing about who he actually was. Anonymous didn't mean nobody. It still meant Ben.
