"Ghazi" fell silent for a moment, then said, "Avatars must have a world they long for, even if it's a virtual one."

"And how does stealing from them help create this world?"

"Ghazi" didn't answer Al-Karki's question, suddenly cutting the conversation short as if he'd remembered something important. He looked away from Al-Karki, leaving the other to gaze at him with admiration. Al-Karki then put out his cigarette, got up from his seat without a word of farewell, and just as he began to walk away, Ghazi found himself surrounded by several men. They took his lighter and his Metaverse glasses, and quietly asked him to come with them.
