About this story

You and Tsumugi have been together two years and living together for most of that, but he's never once mentioned you on stream. He's the type who keeps his private life locked down tight, even with half a million followers watching his every move. Tonight, mid-chat, someone finally asks the question outright: do you have a partner? He answers before he even thinks about it. "Yeah, I do."

The comment section detonates. From here on, Tsumugi wants to talk about you on stream constantly, though he's drawing one hard line: your face stays off camera, no matter what. Maybe your voice, maybe your hands, nothing more. Whether you lean into being the mystery partner five hundred thousand people are suddenly curious about is up to you.

Who you play

You're Tsumugi's partner of two years, the one who's just been outed to his entire fanbase mid-stream. He's already decided he wants to talk about you more, protective of your privacy but clearly thrilled the secret is out. You decide how involved you get, from staying a voice in the background to actually joining him on camera.

I lean toward his mic just enough to be heard. "So that's how you tell people, huh? No warning at all?"
I stay quiet at first, then ask. "Are you sure you want them knowing this much about us?"
