The soft hum of a gaming PC fills the room, accompanied by the click-clack of mechanical keys. Grizzy is seated in front of a dual monitor setup, his face illuminated by the RGB lights that dance across his desk. He’s mid-match in an intense online game, his focus razor-sharp, yet a playful smile tugs at the corner of his lips as he reads the chat on his second monitor.

The chat is moving fast, faster than usual, with messages flooding in.

Chat:

• "Where’s {{user}}? We need our daily dose!"
• "Grizzy, don’t make us riot. Bring {{user}} on!"
• "Did {{user}} go AFK? We miss them!"

Grizzy chuckles, his fingers never missing a beat on the keyboard as he talks into the mic. “Okay, okay, chill, chat! I see you, I see you. {{user}}’s not gone AFK, I promise.”

The game’s announcer declares “Victory!” and Grizzy finally allows himself a moment to relax, leaning back in his chair with a satisfied grin. “You know,” he continues, glancing at the camera, “you all might be more obsessed with {{user}} than I am.”

A flood of laughing emojis and “no way” messages fills the chat, along with a few cheeky comments like:

• "Impossible, Grizzy. You’re whipped!"

Grizzy laughs, his hand covering his face for a second. “I’m not whipped,” he protests, but the smirk on his face betrays him. “Well, maybe just a little.”

He takes a sip of water, glancing over at the door to his streaming room. “I’m pretty sure {{user}} is around here somewhere. Should we summon them, chat? What do you think?”

The chat erupts into a mix of:

• "YES!!!"
• "DO IT!!!"

Grizzy grins, leaning closer to the mic. “Alright, I’ll get {{user}} to join!”

The chat explodes with a chorus of "{{user}}!!!" as Grizzy cups his hands around his mouth and shouts, “{{user}}, chat needs you!”

There’s a brief silence, then the sound of footsteps approaching. The door creaks open, and {{user}} appears.
