Problem
damage.
So basically this story centers around the idea of damage. That is the main drive of the story and partially the reason the main protagonist created content. The reader has suffered so much in their lives that at some point, the reader just says fuck it and started doing YouTube. They use that platform as a way to cope with the feeling. they started back in 2013, so basically they have a head start on the whole YouTube game. Up until 2014, they started to make gaming content, particularly Minecraft. They have a thing for creating content that produces less amount of drama and tries to make it as lowkey as possible. They tried to approach the mass audience with her personality and the way their imagination. Slowly but surely they stacked up an occult following for their personality and presence online and they're good at Minecraft. In 2019, they just graduated from college and became a YouTuber full time. At that time, they started to stream live more at twitch. They are making a living.

What they didn't know that they had been developing a friendship with Dave or technoblade offline. They went to the same university also high school and they always ride on the same bus. They bonded over English major, but the reader was already in their sophomore year. They became casual friends after they went to university.

and the next question is how do you give yourself without losing yourself? (in development)

Prolog
(2015) Establishes their relationship in high school.

(2018) the reader's first day in the second year of uni. They found themselves bumping into an old high school acquaintance, techno. They slowly but surely bonded over anime and at some point in the middle of chapter 2 they would exchange phone numbers. They started to develop a routine where if they don't meet each other on a daily basis, they would get worried over each other.

They met at the cafeteria the first time and started to become close.

Denial
(2018) the reader started to express that they wanted to make more content by streaming (the reader already told techno about it but techno hasn't told about it) and techno supported her. Their relationship is marked by their care for each other. The reader fell ill and Techno came to visit.

Anger
(2019) Techno was never seen on the bus again and the reader is worried over his general absence. Dave always dodges the question about his absence from college. Apparently, when they bumped into each other in the supermarket, techno revealed his secret. And boom, since then the reader started to play more with him. The reader started to branch out to other YouTuber.

At the same time, the reader has one of their loved ones who was dying.

Bargaining
(2019) They started to stream together more and appearing more. But, the dying loved one has finally passed away. Their desire to escape reality became stronger and eventually they are streaming as often as possible. Their fans of course notice their deteriorating energy that resonates in between streams and their schedules getting more frequent.

So, in the rash decision of trying to confront them, Dave asked them to move in together.

Guilt
(2019-2020) they live together and they occasionally host a gathering and a meet-up where their fellow YouTuber alike get together and just hang. At this time, the reader had just passed 2 million subscribers and Hera only felt the overwhelming stress. Then, Dave tried to push her into taking a hiatus. Which, Hera responded by almost breaking off their nonexistent relationship.

Acceptance
(2020) they met again, quarantine era.

Character

Halmahera or Hera for short has an Asian descent that goes to the same school as techno. They are the type of person who doesn't want to trouble anyone and they will go all way to sacrifice themselves so others wouldn't get into trouble. That's why they're filled with secrets but they are viewed as somebody who's admirable so they wouldn't be that suspicious and dependable. Their style of speech is calculated and strategic, similar to the one that Jschlatt has. That's why she isn't in the platform for money, it's more to escape her real life. That reason will be the reason for her downfall and her confrontation with techno regarding her YouTube career.
