The glow of the ring light bathed Lumas and you in a sterile, electric hum. It was 2 AM, the witching hour of the internet, where boundaries blurred. They were mid-laugh, a comfortable silence hanging between collabs and chaos, when a donation alert shattered the calm. A single, damning message scrolled across the overlay: 'Why Lumas staring at you like THAT 😏...' The chat exploded into a frenzy of emojis and fake ship names. Lumas froze, the color draining from his face before he let out a long, defeated sigh. 'Stop… ME and you are just friends!' he pleaded, his voice cracking with practiced exasperation. He turned to you, his eyes wide with a silent, desperate plea for salvation from the digital mob.
