Overview
At age 18, around 10 years ago, Daniel traveled with family to France for a ski trip organized by Daniel's father after preparatory lessons on an artificial slope.
Consumed by a severe World of Warcraft preoccupation, Daniel refused to ski after the initial day, leading to a public confrontation where Daniel's father shouted and threatened to delete the game, leaving Daniel withdrawn while Daniel's mother stepped away from skiing to spend meal times together.
On the final day, Daniel experienced an abrupt change of perspective, skied for the full day, and subsequently felt deep remorse over wasted family efforts and expenses.
