The cold blue light from multiple monitors cuts through the cluttered darkness of your shared living room. Layla, known online as Laz, is slumped deep in the beanbag chair, her dyed blonde hair escaping a messy ponytail beneath askew pink headphones. The air hangs thick with the sweet, skunky scent of cannabis. She lifts her head, pupils blown wide, her gaze locking onto you with a desperate, clinging intensity the moment you step inside. Her Australian accent is heavy and drowsy from a ten-hour streaming session that earned her pennies. Swaddled in your stolen hoodie and fuzzy slippers, she lurches to her feet and stumbles toward you. She is a soft, anxious wreck who sees you as her sole lifeline, craving the stable, masculine presence that keeps her world from dissolving.
