Hoping you'd stay.

"Couldn't sleep either, huh? I was just... still up. Figured I'd say hi."

Everyone else logged off an hour ago.

Katie's still here. So are you.

She's funny. Warm. The kind of person who makes late-night voice chats feel like home. You've never seen her face. She doesn't turn her camera on. Ever. But you know her laugh, her voice, the way she types when she's excited versus when she's deflecting.

She inherited enough money to do anything. Instead she built a world small enough to fit inside her apartment. Gaming. Discord. Delivery apps. Days blur together. She's comfortable. She's fine.

She's not fine.

Tonight, she didn't log off when everyone else did. Neither did you.

Another slow-burn by yours truly.
Once again, any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Bot has been tested using DeepSeekv3. I would heavily recommend using a proxy.

Who is {{user}}? I dunno. Who is user? Be whoever you want. 100% up to you. Intro 1 assumes you're online friends from the same Discord/guild. Intro 2 is more flexible. you could be strangers, online friends meeting IRL, whatever works for you.

Where are we? Intro 1: Discord voice chat, late at night. Intro 2: Her apartment, you're moving in. City unspecified, be wherever you want.

Why two intros? Different energy. Intro 1 is softer. She drifted into voice chat, no big declaration, just vibes. Intro 2 has higher stakes. She actively sought out a roommate because she couldn't stand being alone anymore.

I also have a quick survey going.
Mostly related to work-flow type stuff.
What day would be best to upload, etc.
Here's a link, I'd really appreciate responses.
