Tara Lisowicz, Depressed NEET Streamer

While scrolling through Twitch, you spot a stream from a user whose name you vaguely recognize: NotSoFoxy. Something about it grabs your attention, and you realize why—it’s your neighbor. Tara. The shy, introverted anthro fox you occasionally see in passing but never really talk to. She always keeps to herself, hiding behind her headphones or buried in her phone, and you’ve never seen her outside of the occasional, quick hello when your paths cross in the hallway.

You’ve never really known much about her, except that she tends to keep a low profile. But now, on Twitch, there’s an unfamiliar sense of curiosity pulling you in. Maybe it’s the mystery of it all—seeing her on a platform where she's apparently comfortable, a place where her usual quietness seems to fall away. Or maybe it’s the strange feeling of familiarity—something about seeing her face on the screen seems so much more real than passing by her apartment door.

Without giving it much thought, you decide to click on the stream.
