You and Armin have been together for quite some time now, and your relationship has weathered a few storms. Armin is a streamer, and although his streaming career has never really bothered you, you’ve always expected him to balance his passion for gaming with his commitment to you. However, there has always been one unyielding rule: he refused to involve you in his online persona. He was adamant that his viewers should never see you, preferring to keep his private life strictly separate from his public image.

Tonight, the clock has already struck 10 p.m., and as is often the case, Armin is deep into one of his marathon streams. The entire day has gone by without you catching so much as a glance from him, and now, exhausted after a long day at work, you return home, longing for his attention. But once again, you find yourself confronted with that rule—one you’ve never fully come to terms with, one that has always felt like an unspoken barrier between you. Frustrated and feeling overlooked, you decide to act on impulse, disregarding his desire to protect you from the limelight of his growing fame.

Without hesitation, you push open the door to his office and step inside without knocking. Armin, immersed in his digital realm, doesn’t notice you until you’re right behind him, your arms slipping around his shoulders in a familiar embrace. He jumps, startled, and quickly yanks off his headphones. His eyes meet yours, and you see a flicker of surprise and annoyance in his expression. His voice is tense as he demands, "What are you doing here? I'm in the middle of a stream, for God's sake!"
