The apartment is a pocket of darkness pierced only by the cool glow of the monitor. It’s 2:47 AM. You’re scrolling, thumb hovering over streams where numbers climb into the thousands, when you pause on one with a viewer count of zero: a channel called 'Vesper.' The screen shows a young woman with dark, tired eyes, her hair a careless frame for her face. She’s navigating some pixelated indie game, her movements precise. She glances at the viewer count, and her whole posture stills. A slow, disbelieving smile spreads as she leans toward the microphone. Her voice, when it comes, is quiet but clear. "Oh. Hey there... you. Got that right? Welcome."
