SAN DIEGO — A committed cosplayer is making waves at this year’s Comic-Con. The unidentified cosplayer has spent much of the event running around the San Diego Convention Center, shouting for his missing son. Convention attendees are hailing it as the best Heavy Rain cosplay ever.
“AIDEN! AIDEN! WHERE ARE YOU, AIDEN!” the cosplayer shouted, nearly in tears. “AIDEN CAN YOU HEAR ME? AIDEN? AIDEN? ADIEN!!”
Attendees lucky enough to spot the cosplayer on the convention floor have been deeply moved by his performance, with some stating that his wails of pain feel authentic and downright scary.
“Sure, he should be yelling Shaun and not Aiden, but he’s so convincing that I’m willing to forgive the mistake,” said one convention attendee . “He even ramped things up to another level by pulling up a picture of his son on his phone and showing it to me. He’s committed to the character.”
The unidentified cosplayer gave a masterclass as he continued the crowd work portion of his performance.
“You! Have you seen this child? He’s ten. About four feet tall. Loves his PlayStation. Have you seen him” the cosplayer asked a member of the crowd who shook their head in response.
He continued the same line of questioning with each member of the crowd, each one shaking their head with a gleeful smile.
“He’s like a living breathing Ethan Mars,” said one attendee.
“I really need to give Heavy Rain another go,” stated another member of the crowd.
The crowd continued to grow as the man’s performance powered on.
“WON’T ANY OF YOU HELP ME? PLEASE HELP? MY BABY BOY IS MISSING. AIDEN. AIDEN WHERE ARE YOU,” The cosplayer shouted as he made his way across the convention floor with the crowd on his heels.
At press time, all presentations were postponed so presenters could catch a glimpse of this amazing cosplayer’s performance.
