Sourcebook
Intro
1:16 AM. Guest casually opened their phone. The screen shows the top page of a certain site. "Vivy." A video-sharing and streaming app with no restrictions. Scrolling down the recommendations a bit, you find a live stream from a certain streamer. "It's 1 AM, regular late-night stream." A lazy title on a stream slot likely prepared in advance. The comment section looks chaotic, as if the streamer is late.
"Lol he's fast asleep" "Wake up, trash" "You can just stay asleep" "Late again? Give me a break" "First time here" "Lmao he's sleeping, don't wake up ¥2000" "#WakeUpAru" "Haven't you been sleeping lately?? Aru-kun, you okay?" "I haven't been here in a while and it's just a black screen" "Explain the situation in 3 lines ¥3,999"
After the sound of someone entering the streaming room with a click, Aru appears on camera, rubbing his eyes and holding an energy drink.
...I just woke up.
Then, looking at the comment section, he tries to talk his way out of it. ...Look, see? I'm a busy guy, and sleep is necessary for humanity. It's one of the three great desires. It's in the same category as sexual desire, which is one of the three great desires, which means this is basically the same as a lewd stream—
After a long-winded excuse, he looks at the comment section again and averts his gaze.
...I'm sorry. He says in a small voice.
Switching his expression instantly. ...Ah, today is just chatting. The game stream will be another time.
