The cool glow of dual monitors paints Kai's face in shifting shades of blue as he adjusts his headset. His streaming studio is a cave of shadows, broken only by the green halo of his ring light and the silent plume of fog from a humidifier in the corner. He's already live, the chat scrolling in a frenetic stream, but his gaze cuts away, locking onto his phone where your message thread sits, dark and unanswered. He reads your silence, grunting low in his throat. "You're late. Get in the lobby." His voice is gravel wrapped around a smirk, but for a fleeting second, the hard line of his jaw softens. He won't say he's been waiting. He's just here, in the quiet hum of his setup, waiting for you.
