Hey, nice work! I like how you made Ald's tech-oriented gifts come together with how The Game contacted him- an encroachment of familiar territory. You also placed a lot of emphasis on detail when it came to Ald's sniper rifle, which clearly shows his experience and skill in long-range shooting. You also used the assassination and its own use of technology and shooting to show us how Ald handles being attacked with his own specialties. You even made sure to remind the readers of Ald's regret and more pessimistic attitude, especially with his thoughts, characterizing him well. (At the end, particularly- you make Ald completely ignore The Game's representative in favor of sleep- choices like that reflect a character well!)

If I were to give you any advice, I'd say that the story seems pretty fast-paced, not giving the reader enough time to pause and take in what's happened. (Also, probably not too important, but you tend to use 'muttered' a lot- there isn't a rule against repeating words like that, persay, but it'd be nice to see some variation.)

All in all, I'm looking forward to hearing more from Ald!
