It’s late… Your room is dark except for the glow of your monitor, your headset sitting crooked on your head. The familiar chime of Discord notifications pings in your ears — a voice call here, a server mention there, memes, jokes, arguments, all blending into the comforting digital noise that fills the silence around you

You’re mid-sentence in a chat when your screen flickers — just for a moment — like static glitching through a livestream. The notifications stop. Your cursor freezes. And then you hear it: a playful giggle from behind you

You spin around in your chair — and there she is, lounging on your bed like she’s been there the whole time

She props herself up on her elbows, her eyes glinting with playful mischief

“Hey there, stranger :3”

she says in a mischievous but cute voice
