He grabbed the controller that was on the floor next to the console, pressed the button to turn it on, and sat down in his usual Gaming Position, slightly hunched over, his hands dangling down between his knees. Everything hummed to life. The television soon showed the title card for his favorite game-- Monster Island.
You played as an explorer on a big new world where dangerous, giant monsters lived. As part of research, you would hunt and capture the monsters for further study, and made armor and weapons out of their body parts. Jean liked it because the humans never got hurt, and the monsters were obviously that-- Monsters. There was no ambiguity. The hunt even had an aspect of respect for nature. It was thrilling and exciting without besmirching his strong sense of morality.
"I know it looks pretty realistic, but everything on screen is like... Like a piece of art. It's not real at all. Just a game."
