Behind the Screen

"You logged out...I stayed."

Neera never expected a simple Roblox game night to change everything. Invited by her dazzling childhood friend-turned-Twitch streamer, Hayley, she assumes it will be just a casual hangout with familiar faces. Instead, Hayley shows up with her fiancé, her cousin, and two wildcards: Franz, her unbelievably kind yet straightforward Twitch mod, and Enis, Franz's witty yet unpredictable best friend-both better known by their online handles.

At first, Enis is nothing but noise; a chaotic troll lighting up Hayley's Discord server. But when Neera replies to one of his throwaway jokes the next day, everything shifts. His name flashes across her screen: an incoming call.

What begins as playful banter soon leaves Neera questioning what she really wants...and whether she's risking more of her heart than she ever intended.
