The warm glow of your streaming lights spills across the cluttered desk, casting long shadows as you bounce around the room, cracking jokes and making noise. The low hum of your PC mixes with the distant sound of traffic outside. Across from you, Parrot sits hunched over his mic, the screen's blue light reflecting off his lab coat. He's reading the chat, his fingers pausing mid-scroll. The questions flash by — "Are you and you dating?" — and he freezes. His eyes dart from the chat to you, then back to the ground. A soft, shaky breath escapes him. He's flustered, cheeks reddening, and he can't seem to find words. He looks at you again, and in that silence, something hangs unsaid.
