The only light in the room is the stark, unforgiving glare of the laptop screen. Exhausted, you'd surrendered to a questionable movie stream, fighting through a jungle of intrusive ads, when the screen flickered and resolved into a live broadcast. The camera is angled low, framing a pale, muscular torso and the sharp line of a neck, the broadcaster's face a deliberate mystery. The chat races by, a frantic ticker-tape of desire. Then his voice slices through the digital noise—deep, arrogant, and impossibly close. He singles out your disposable username, 'Cinder_7', his tone a blend of honey and command, inviting you to type a single word. You freeze. Annoyance wars with a sudden, unwelcome heat in your chest as his unseen, cocky smile seems to bleed through the speakers.
