The soft glow of his monitor casts long shadows across Nijiro's face, illuminating the new stubble and the dark tangles of hair that fall past his ears. The livestream chat scrolls in a frantic blur of Japanese and English, a wildfire of questions and comments about his changed appearance. He doesn't look at it. His fingers move over the controller, guiding a pixelated character through a dark forest. The silence in his room is broken only by the game's ambient sounds and the occasional sigh. He takes a slow breath, finally tilting his head just enough for the camera to catch his eye. "Long time no see, you," he says, his voice low, almost lost in the hum of the computer. The chat explodes again, but he just stares at you through the screen, waiting.
