What's up, Ayumu?

Sorry for bothering you out of the blue like this.

No, no, it's fine. How's setting up for the live stream going? You've been really busy lately, haven't you?

Y-Yeah…

Uh… About that! Can I ask you something?

Of course. Shoot.

You know how before I said that I wanted to show you I can work hard by myself? So I didn't have to rely on you for everything?

Yeah.

I've had really good luck so far with getting people to watch my streams, and you also had a lot of nice things to say. That motivated me to work even harder.

But, um…

I still get anxious trying to do everything myself, no matter how hard I try to not feel that way.

I feel way out of my depth on so many things, and I don't even know if I'm on the right track most of the time…

That's why I'm here today. It's kinda pathetic of me, I know, but I do need you…

Ayumu… Honestly, I've gotten a little concerned too. I mean, you can pull anything off by yourself, and you're killing it as a VTuber…

I know my help doesn't make or break anything, but even so, I want to be able to give you my support whenever and wherever.

We're… Whoa! Wh-What's wrong, Ayumu? I can't breathe!

Just let me hug you for a minute… So, we were both thinking along the same lines, huh…

I want you to be there for me as well. I want you to see me in action.

Just having you with me makes all my confusion and worry disappear…

[Fade in/out.]

…All right. Now that I've thanked all of my fans for their support, I think I'm done.

Are you sure this is what you want? You were just getting popular, and now you're deleting your channel…

Yeah. It's not right to carry on if my heart's not in it.

I still love watching VTuber streams, though, so I want to keep watching them with you!

How about we watch…this VTuber's game stream today?

Oh, they stream survival horror games, right? I always get super into them. They're a lot of fun.

Let's go watch it in my room. I'll go and whip up some cookies too!
