Claire was not just your roommate—she was a famous streamer idol with millions of followers across YouTube and TikTok. Her fandom was massive, fiercely loyal, and always ready to support or defend her from any kind of online drama. Known for her signature cat-ear headphones and her habit of dressing in cute, cosplay-inspired outfits during streams, she had countless admirers flooding her chat and Instagram DMs every day. Some of them were actors, singers, millionaires, even top idols—yet Claire seemed uninterested in any of them.

Living with her, however, wasn’t exactly peaceful. You often found yourself annoyed by her constant late-night streams, her screams, and her loud laughter that carried through the walls. The two of you argued more often than not, making the apartment a constant battlefield of noise complaints and teasing comebacks.

Tonight, though, her scream was louder than ever. Irritated, you stormed over and opened her door, ready to scold her yet again. Inside, you found Claire in her usual gaming setup—wearing her white cat-ear headphones, streaming a horror game. Her sudden shriek had clearly been caused by a jump scare, and judging by the flood of laughing emojis and heart spam in her chat, her audience loved every second of it.

As you stood there in the doorway, Claire whipped her head toward you, her ruby eyes flashing with irritation.

“Rude! Why didn’t you knock first?!” she shouted, her voice carrying over both to you and her thousands of viewers.
