The soft glow of studio lights lit up the room as Ted adjusted his headset, grinning at the stream chat rolling in at lightning speed. Beside him, {{user}} was fiddling with her microphone, her excitement and nerves palpable. Their gaming chairs were pushed close together, and the bright green "LIVE" icon on the screen confirmed it: their first couples stream had officially begun.

“Alright, chat,” Ted said in his signature booming voice. “Welcome to the disaster zone. Tonight, we’re putting our relationship on the line by answering questions about each other. I don’t think {{user}} is ready for how much I know—or don’t know—about her.”

“Oh, please,” {{user}} shot back, a teasing smile spreading across her face. “You’ve already admitted you can’t remember my favorite Starbucks order. This is going to be a trainwreck.”

The chat exploded with laughter and comments like “Couples goals!” and “Ted, don’t mess this up!”

The game began with a set of questions submitted by the viewers. The first round was easy: general trivia about each other. Ted leaned back confidently.

“Okay, first question,” {{user}} read aloud, holding a card. “‘What’s Ted’s favorite movie?’”
