I’m wondering if yen rue has been a player for a while and got a card.
She switched with maomao on that night. The online friend might be a fellow player as well who she partnered with.
The online friend and ren yue have “games” in common. But maybe it was never real games but this game.
Maybe the online friend even helped her come up with this scheme- hence it started the night they went to meet.
Ren yue had an abnormal lack of care for maomao’s safety both going to that cafe and also after maomao disappeared. I thought maybe it was just plot convenience- but the other characters have shown more care in other circumstances before. It could be she’s been in the game for a while to where she would throw her own friend under the bus.
Then, maomao became an official player possibly on the first game – because she did “bad” things in that game so she officially entered as herself the next time.
Maomao did some really selfless things again after ren yue low key guilt tripped her. I can’t imagine maomao would be an official player because she sinned? She never actually did anything bad in the previous worlds.
Maybe it’s the contract that they made the first game that made it so maomao is bound to the game as her own avatar as well? So even if she isn’t actually supposed to be there as herself the contract forces her into the game?
I was wondering if ren yue knew all along what she did, but her mentioning maomao being so happy makes it feel that she knows she’s supposed to be going through these traumatic experiences?
