Behind the screen

Confirmation

Yuki sat in her dorm room, her heart pounding as she opened her laptop. She had been waiting for this moment, the moment when she could confirm her suspicions about Kenma. The screen glowed in the dimly lit room as she navigated to the 18+ streaming website, her hands trembling slightly.

She found the masked guy's profile and saw that he was live. Her stomach churned with a mix of anxiety and determination. She clicked on the stream, the familiar setup and background appearing on her screen. It was the same room she had seen in Kenma's house.

The masked guy appeared on screen, his voice soft yet enticing as he greeted his audience. "Hey everyone, sorry I've been away for a while. I've had a lot on my plate recently."

Yuki watched intently, her eyes fixed on the screen. She needed to be sure, needed to confirm that Kenma and the masked guy were the same person. As he began his usual routine, reading out explicit comments and responding with sultry remarks, her mind raced.

She typed her question into the chat, her fingers trembling as she hit send. "Do you know Kodzuken?"

The masked guy's eyes flicked to the screen, and for a split second, he froze. It was only a moment, but it was enough for Yuki to see the recognition in his eyes. He quickly composed himself and continued with his performance, his voice steady.

"Why would I know Kodzuken?" he responded, his tone dismissive.

But Yuki knew. The hesitation, the slight falter in his voice—it confirmed everything. Kenma and the masked streamer were the same person.

She felt a wave of emotions crash over her—relief, confusion, and a deep sense of betrayal. She had to confront him, had to know why he was living this double life. But for now, she logged off the website, her mind swirling with thoughts.

As she closed her laptop, she knew one thing for certain: her relationship with Kenma was about to change forever.
