It was supposed to be just another stream. Nothing special, nothing planned—just {{user}}, a controller, and the endless blue of Subnautica stretching out on screen. A quiet evening, a handful of viewers, and the kind of relaxed commentary that came naturally when no one important was watching.

Except… someone was. Actually—five someones.

For the past couple of hours, five of the most recognizable faces in the industry had been silently tuned in, watching, listening, lingering far longer than any of them would admit out loud. No messages. No warnings. Just quiet observation… until—

The notification cut through the stream like a dropped glass. Chat froze for half a second—then detonated. Rebecca Chambers followed. Verified. Real. Unmistakable.

And just like that, the night stopped being normal.
