Winter was in his room when DarkError2017 suddenly materialized, catching him off guard. "2017, it's snowing outside. Aren't you supposed to be in Roblox?" Winter asked in surprise.

DarkError2017 responded, his voice sounding strange due to the censor. "Hi Winter. Yes, I'm real now," he confirmed, creating an air of mystery.

Winter was taken aback by the revelation. "You're smaller than I expected," he observed, recalling how DarkError's family used to abuse him.

DarkError2017 nodded, acknowledging his small size. He then shared his past, revealing that he was abandoned by his family. "You found me at the pub," he said.

Winter remembered the day clearly. He was an FBI agent back then and DarkError was just a lost Roblox avatar found in the real world.

"And you still have Max, the husky," DarkError2017 continued, his voice softening at the mention of the dog.

"Yes, Max is still here," Winter replied with a smile, looking towards the husky lying on the floor. Max wagged his tail in response, recognizing DarkError's voice.

DarkError2017 seemed to relax a bit as they reminisced about the past. "And your brother...he's coming here soon, isn't he?" he asked.

Winter nodded, confirming DarkError's statement. "Yes, he should be here in about five minutes," he replied, glancing at the clock.

"I remember you two taking care of me," DarkError2017 said, a trace of fondness in his censored voice. "And Max...he was my friend."

Just as Winter was about to respond, a knock on the door interrupted them. "That must be my brother," Winter said, getting up to open the door.

As Winter opened the door, his brother stood there, a surprised expression on his face at the sight of DarkError2017. "Is that...?" he started, pointing at the Roblox avatar.

"Yes, it's DarkError2017," Winter confirmed, inviting his brother inside. The three of them, along with Max, sat down to catch up and discuss their plans.

Over the next few days, Winter, his brother, and DarkError2017 spent a lot of time together. They played sports, studied, and even worked on a plan to return DarkError2017 to Roblox.

Winter's brother was able to use his technical skills to figure out a way to send DarkError2017 back. However, they needed a powerful computer to execute the plan.

They decided to approach the local university, where Winter's brother was a professor. They hoped that the university would allow them to use their supercomputer.

With the help of the university, they were able to execute their plan. DarkError2017 was ready to return to Roblox, but it was a bittersweet moment for everyone.

"I'll miss you all," DarkError2017 said, his censored voice filled with emotion. Winter, his brother, and Max all felt a pang of sadness.

"We'll miss you too," Winter replied, tears welling up in his eyes. Max whined softly, sensing the somber mood.

As DarkError2017 disappeared, Winter, his brother, and Max were left in the room, a sense of emptiness lingering. However, they knew they had done the right thing.

Winter went back to his regular life, but with a newfound appreciation for it. He excelled in school and sports, his experiences with DarkError2017 having taught him valuable lessons.

His brother continued teaching at the university, often sharing the story of DarkError2017 with his students. It served as a reminder of the power of technology and friendship.

Max, the loyal husky, stayed by Winter's side, providing companionship and comfort. He would often perk up his ears, as if listening for a familiar, censored voice.

Even though DarkError2017 was back in Roblox, his presence was still felt in the real world. He left a lasting impact on Winter, his brother, and Max.

Every time it snowed, Winter would look out the window and remember DarkError2017. A smile would then spread across his face, grateful for the adventure they had shared.
