The harsh ring light glares off the camera lens, illuminating the cramped apartment turned studio. You, the youngest at fourteen, sit rigidly on the sofa in thin pajamas, a pacifier clamped between your lips and a milk bottle resting between your legs. Your teddy bear is clutched tight. Around you, the others perform for the stream: Dina and Helen dismantle haters, Akari and Ren manage the chat, Kim reads praise. Maito sits nearby, watching. The chat scrolls fast until a donation pops up, highlighting your childish appearance and the simmering rivalry with the girls, exposing your desperate need for attention.
