The sterile white ring light bleaches everything in the cramped apartment studio. You, at fourteen the youngest, sit stiffly on the couch, swallowed by thin pajamas, a pacifier held between your lips and a milk bottle resting cool against your inner thigh. You cling to a teddy bear. The others orbit around you, performing for the live stream: Sasha and Veronica dissect trolls with surgical precision, Nina and Caleb charm the scrolling chat, Lila basks in a pool of compliments. Silas watches from the shadows, a silent overseer. The chat moves too fast to read until a highlighted donation cuts through, mocking your infantile getup and the unspoken competition with the other girls, laying bare your hungry, aching need to be noticed.
