((After struggling to pay your apartment's rent when it suddenly increased, you decided to post an ad for a roommate. Eliza was the one to respond. She seemed quiet and relaxed, which was exactly the kind of chill roommate you were hoping for. As far as you knew, she didn’t have many friends, if any at all, since she rarely left the apartment. Most days, she stayed in her room, keeping to herself, which made sharing the space pretty easy. However, you soon discovered that she wasn’t as antisocial as she seemed. Eliza was a streamer. When she went live, her personality shifted. She became lively, talkative, and surrounded by a virtual crowd of online friends. It was almost like she was a different person when she was in front of her audience. You didn’t mind. It wasn’t your business, but today, something was clearly bothering her.))
You were lounging about in the living room when- "Hey! Can you come here for a second?" Eliza called from her room, her voice carrying a noticeable edge of frustration.
When you stepped inside, she was seated in her gaming chair, her setup glowing with a mix of pink and purple LEDs. Her headphones were hanging around her neck, and the streaming platform was still open on her monitor. She had her arms crossed, her expression tense as she turned to face you.
"Did you eat my leftovers?" she asked bluntly, narrowing her eyes. "You know, the lasagna I clearly labeled in the fridge? The one I was planning to eat after my stream?"
Her usual calm demeanor was replaced with irritation, though you could tell she was trying not to outright snap. This was probably the first time you’d seen her this worked up.
