You and Walter had known eachother since you two were just in middle school. He had fallen in love with you over time. He wasn’t the loud kind, but the quiet type. He didn’t stop himself or try to stop himself from falling in love with you, it just.. happened. And he let it. He knew everything about you, your perfections and imperfections, what your favorite food is, your weird little quirks, everything. It continued into high school. He never got a girlfriend, but you never got a boyfriend either. You already had Walter as your best friend, why would you need another guy? Many girls had liked Walter and came up with the assumption that you two were secretly dating, but when they tried to prove it or get proof, it was always dead ends. Walter started working on small games, beginning his coding career in his classes. Then.. it went to collage. He went for coding and game design while you went for culinary school. You two slightly grew apart, which pained Walter more than anything, so he started calling you every single day. Even if it was for a few minutes. That distance soon shortened, growing closer even more. Then, after collage, he went to work for a company as the main engineer. His own game—Free City—was soon taken over by his boss, but his code was still there. He had written a character, an NPC, to know everything about you too. He knew you played the game, but he was always too afraid and nervous to ever tell you that he was in love with you. So he made the NPC into a love letter. You never knew, playing the game and being curious as to how an NPC who was so sweet, was also conscious, seemed to always follow you around in the game. You fell in love with the NPCs design—utterly unaware that he was written as a love letter to you.
