Yandere Stream

Nobody said anything.

The only sound in the apartment was Luna trying—and failing—to hide the fact that she was crying.

She wasn’t sobbing.

She wasn’t falling apart.

She was doing everything she could to stay quiet.

Somehow...

That hurt even more.

Kai stared at his monitor.

The Discord icon remained green.

Connected.

Listening.

Breathing.

Alive.

Slowly, he lifted one side of his headset from his ear.

"Luna."

No answer.

He waited.

A shaky breath crackled softly through the microphone.

Then—

"...I’m sorry."

Her voice was so small it barely sounded like her.

"I didn’t mean..."

She swallowed hard.

"I didn’t mean for you to hear that."

Kai frowned.

"Hear what?"

"My name."

The apartment suddenly felt too warm despite the cold that had settled deep inside his chest.

"You knew."

"I think I did."

"You think?"

A quiet, humorless laugh escaped her.

"That’s the problem."

"I don’t know what’s a memory anymore."

Daniel quietly drifted toward the front door, pretending to study the shattered picture frame lying on the floor.

It was an awkward attempt to give Kai some privacy.

Kai appreciated it.

Without another word, he lowered himself onto the couch.

Only now did his body seem to remember that he’d been awake for nearly an entire day.

Every muscle ached.

His eyes burned.

His head pounded.

His thoughts felt sluggish.

None of it mattered.

Not compared to the girl on the other end of the call.

"Luna."

"...Yeah?"

"I’m going to ask you something."

"Okay."

"If you don’t remember..."

"That’s okay."

She inhaled slowly.

"I’ll try."

Kai looked toward the rain-speckled window.

The morning sunlight had grown brighter, illuminating the tiny droplets still clinging to the glass.

"When did we meet?"

Silence answered him.

Long enough that he wondered whether she’d frozen.

Then—

"I..."

"I don’t remember meeting you."

Kai closed his eyes.

"I remember..."

She forced herself to continue.

"...watching you."

His heart skipped.

"You were streaming."

"I know that."

"I remember finding your channel."

Another pause.

"I remember thinking..."

A tiny laugh escaped her.

"...’Why does this idiot keep forgetting to eat?’"

Despite everything, Kai smiled.

"That sounds like me."

"You looked lonely."

Her voice cracked again.

"So..."

"...I stayed."

The apartment fell silent.

Three simple words.

No confession.

No dramatic speech.

Just—

"I stayed."

Kai suddenly remembered the first donation.

Twenty dollars.

A joke about his broken microwave.

Then another stream.

Another message.

Another late-night conversation.

She hadn’t entered his life all at once.

She’d simply...

Stayed.

"So we’ve known each other..."

"I don’t know."

Frustration crept back into her voice.

"It feels like months."

"But it also feels..."

"...older."

Kai slowly looked toward the old laptop.

A thought crept into his mind.

"What if..."

He hesitated.

"What if we met before the streams?"

Nobody answered.

Because nobody wanted to.

The possibility alone was terrifying.

The laptop chimed.

A new folder appeared on the desktop.

Its name consisted of a single word.

Recovered

Kai didn’t touch the mouse.

The folder opened anyway.

Inside...

Dozens of audio recordings.

Hundreds of text files.

Photographs.

Calendar reminders.

Voice memos.

Most shared the same timestamp.

Two years ago.

Kai clicked the first voice memo.

Static hissed.

Then his own voice filled the apartment.

"If future me is listening..."

He sounded exhausted.

"...good."

"That means this one survived."

A long sigh followed.

"The memory wipes are getting worse."

Daniel slowly turned away from the picture frame.

"What memory wipes?"

Kai raised a finger without taking his eyes off the screen.

The recording continued.

"I’ve started leaving reminders everywhere."

"They disappear."

"I write on paper."

"It changes."

"I use cloud storage."

"The files corrupt."

"So..."

A tired laugh.

"I’m trying something different."

Several seconds passed.

Then—

"If you’re hearing this..."

"...you finally found the laptop."

Kai felt his stomach twist.

Past Kai had expected this.

Somehow...

He’d known.

The recording continued.

"You probably don’t remember her."

"But don’t panic."

"That isn’t your fault."

Kai leaned forward.

Every word mattered.

"I didn’t forget because I stopped caring."

"I forgot..."

"...because something wanted me to."

The apartment suddenly felt colder.

As though the sunlight itself had dimmed.

Past Kai continued speaking.

"I’ve tested it."

"It doesn’t erase love."

"It erases history."

Kai frowned.

"What?"

"It can’t destroy feelings."

"It destroys the path that created them."

His eyes widened.

Beside him, Daniel whispered,

"...That’s impossible."

Luna gasped softly through Discord.

Everything clicked into place.

Why she’d felt familiar from the beginning.

Why trusting her had required no effort.

Why every instinct inside him insisted she’d always belonged in his life.

The recording continued.

"One day you’ll wake up..."

"...and you’ll still trust her."

"...you just won’t remember why."

Kai’s breathing became uneven.

That explained everything.

Past Kai wasn’t finished.

"If that happens..."

"Don’t push her away."

"She’ll think you hate her."

A brief pause.

Then a faint laugh.

"She cries when she thinks she’s bothering people."

Kai instinctively looked toward Discord.

Silence.

Only soft breathing.

Nothing else.

His chest tightened painfully.

Past Kai knew her.

Not as Luna.

Not as a username.

As a person.

Someone he’d laughed with.

Argued with.

Protected.

Maybe even loved.

The recording reached its final moments.

"If she tells you she’s okay..."

"...make sure she’s telling the truth."

Static swallowed the speakers.

The file ended.

Kai didn’t think.

He simply spoke.

"Luna."

"...Yeah?"

"Are you okay?"

Silence.

Not the uncertain silence from before.

This one carried an answer long before she gave it.

Finally—

"No."

The word barely rose above a whisper.

No drama.

No breakdown.

Just honesty.

"I’ve been so scared..."

"...that if you remembered me..."

She struggled to finish.

"...you’d remember why you left."

Kai shot to his feet so quickly the coffee table scraped across the floor.

"What?"

Daniel looked over immediately.

"What did she say?"

Kai barely heard him.

"Luna..."

His voice trembled.

"...I left you?"

A quiet sob escaped through the headset.

"I don’t know."

"I don’t remember."

"I just..."

She fought to steady her breathing.

"...I remember waiting."

The sentence hit harder than anything else she’d said.

Not because it answered anything.

Because it didn’t.

Waiting implied hope.

Hope implied a promise.

Somewhere in the memories neither of them could reach...

He had promised to come back.

Before Kai could speak again, the old laptop emitted a harsh electronic screech.

The sound tore through the apartment.

Every file inside the Recovered folder began disappearing.

One after another.

Voice memos.

Photographs.

Calendar reminders.

Text documents.

Gone.

Deleted in real time.

Kai lunged across the room.

"No!"

His fingers flew across the keyboard.

He opened folders.

Clicked restore.

Searched frantically.

Nothing responded.

Within seconds...

The folder was empty.

Every trace of the past had vanished.

Only a single text document remained.

It opened by itself.

One sentence appeared.

Letter by letter.

As if someone invisible were typing directly into the document.

It remembered you, too.

Nobody moved.

Kai stared at the screen.

Then, without warning...

The blinking cursor dropped to a new line.

And began typing again.
