Cuando esta tarde llegué a La Forja pensé mejor no contarle nada a Elia. Me pareció demasiado difícil de creer. Me preguntó, pero le dije que estuve jugando un rato y que no pasó nada.

Pero el bar ha ido vaciándose a lo largo de la tarde y yo animándome con los tragos. Al final, casi sin darme cuenta le estoy soltando toda la historia a Elia que, en un momento que se ha visto más libre, se ha puesto delante de mí con mirada inquisidora, como si supiera que ocultaba algo más.

No obstante, no quiero dejar de jugar con ella. En el momento en que voy a contar cómo echaron al conflictivo player5257 pongo voz de misterio:

— Y vi en la pantalla: “Player5257: 5, 4, …”, es decir, el tío ya sabia que lo iban a echar… Todos se lanzaban a acusarle y… lo siguiente: “Player5257 was kicked and banned”, algún otro maldiciendo y ya está: Todos siguieron la partida como si nada – ahí me quedo mirándola con gesto drámatico.

— ¿Y entonces lo echaron y desapareció y ya está? – Elia me mira incrédula

— Era bastante comprensible… la estaba liando. sin embargo, yo me quedaba sin saber quién cojones era ni qué sabía de mí. Me quedé muerto en una esquina de una sala tipo fundición-mazmorra (muerto de que me habían matado en el juego, pero un poco muerto también en mi silla delante del ordenador). Veía cómo el juego seguía sin más (en los 3D-shooter los muertos siguen viendo), el cyborg y la tía de ‘stiletto’ se curraban a escopetazos saltando sin parar por encima de un rio de lava mientras yo me preguntaba ¿me voy a quedar sin saber quién demonios es este tío? —Me quedo pensativo, como confuso, mirando al vacío pero consciente de que Elia me mira fijamente—. Debería haberle escrito algo en cuanto le ví en la partida. Sí, así me quedé...

— ¿En serio? ¿Así te quedaste? – Elia pone tono de decepción total

— ¡No! —exclamo soltando la tension— pocos segundos después otro timbre de mensaje en el chat interrumpió mis deliberaciones ¿adivinas?

— ¡No jodas! ¿Seguía ahí?

— ¡Seguía ahí y yo no podía dejarle escapar! La conversación que siguió me pareció tal desvarío que la he guardado en txt. ¡Mira! léela en la pantalla de mi móvil, para que no creas que me lo estoy inventando:

*** Player5257 was kicked and banned ***

Player5257 ( -> Team): …YŐu sTiLL ∧rE!!!

Pepino Furioso( -> Team): All right, I will tell you. This is what happens to me:

Pepino Furioso( -> Team): I have kind of an inkling about some fundamental physics stuff, about the very essence of how things really are and work. I stop myself from believing it, but I still feel there could be a kernel of truth in them. The problem is that it remains only a gut feeling and, when I try to make it something reasoned with my head, I run into a lot of obstacles simply because I am not good enough, I lack the mathematical skills and the technical knowledge to operate with real high level physics, I get lost reading even very basic papers and I see the complexity of present day physics theories describing reality so out of my reach … I have never been outstanding , but now I am also pretty untrained and it get worse every fucking day.

La mirada de Elia no me resulta fácil de leer. Sé que realmente no lo ha leído, al menos no en profundidad, ha estado de aquí para allá echando un ojo de vez en cuando. Unas veces me ha lanzado un gesto de curiosidad, otras casi de sorna, otras de simplemente no entender nada.

Pero ella tiene la habilidad de volver a la normalidad de cada día sin complicaciones. Tras acabar de deslizar el texto pasando el dedo por la pantalla me lanza una última mirada graciosa, se da la vuelta y va a poner unas cervezas al otro lado de la barra. Luego vuelve a pasar a mi lado:

— Pues, sabes? el viernes próximo tenemos sesión de jazz. Va a estar bien. Deberías venirte, seguro que te gusta. Y te despejará la cabeza– dice levantando las cejas
