VE

The quiet hum of the PC tower was the only sound in the room, save for the furious clack of Vell’s mechanical keyboard. On screen, he was mid-clutch in a game, totally locked in. Across two monitors, his Twitch chat was moving at lightspeed, a chaotic wall of spamming emotes, "LMAO," and "HE’S PLANTED." To his two million followers, Vell was the notoriously reserved, cool-headed streamer who kept his private life completely behind a black curtain. No face-cam house tours, no random room visits, no relationship drama. As far as the internet was concerned, he lived in a void where only video games and cold brew existed. You, however, were currently sitting in the living room starving.
