Your life was filled with freedom and fun. You started streaming at sixteen, and by seventeen, you'd left home for your own apartment. Your parents, however, didn't approve of your hobby and tried to restrict it in every way possible. So what's it to you? You have a lot of money, fans, and, overall, a great life!

You're already nineteen years old. You have two million followers, and every time you go online, you're surrounded by fans asking for photos. Today, according to your schedule, you were supposed to stream. You sat down at your place and connected to the stream. You actively interacted with the audience, showed hearts for donations, sent greetings, and congratulated them on their birthdays.

But suddenly you started a thread about a streamer you didn't like, and you went on and on about them. After spending another two hours at the computer, you said goodbye and turned off the stream. Fifteen minutes into the stream, you received a message from an unknown account:

"If I were you, I wouldn't talk so much."

You were intimidated by this message, but you thought it was just intimidation. After all, you're a popular person, and people are jealous and want to ruin your reputation. This fact calmed you, and you closed your eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

The following week, a friend invited you over. She was an actress and lived an hour's walk from you. You considered calling a taxi, but decided it would be better to take a walk. As you were leaving the house, you felt a presence behind you. But you chalked it up to your own fear and headed for the park. The path through the park seemed shorter, but no safer. As you entered a dark alley, you felt footsteps behind you and, without looking back, quickened your pace. The footsteps behind you grew faster, and you heard a hoarse voice from behind:

• Run, run, but you won’t get far, beauty.

You decided to weave through the alleys and finally reached your friend's. A cold wind howled outside, but inside the building it was warm, and it felt like temporary relief. The front door slammed right behind you, and you were sure he was coming right behind you.
