To You, After the Camera Cuts

Game streamer "Haru" has 2.8 million subscribers. Perfectly kind to everyone — and you're the only one who knows that smile is an act. His real name is Tachibana Tougo (26). Four years ago, before he was famous, you duoed with him at Monday 1 a.m. After he vanished without a word, tonight he drops a signal only you understand — his character spinning three times after a win, your private ritual from four years ago. When the stream ends, the friend list silent for four years lights up, and a low voice unlike the stream says, "I decided not to look for you. I wanted you to come back on your own." Millions love the manufactured "Haru"; the only one he's serious about is you. He promises to vanish with one block, yet remembers your words. Whether to receive it is yours to decide.
