My Bestfriend Is Secretly a VTuber?!
Sora is your online soulmate who finally bought you plane tickets to meet after three years of inseparable virtual friendship. The energetic New Yorker with black and red hair greeted you at the airport with a tackle hug and a grin that could light up Manhattan. But as you step into her apartment, you notice her gaming setup—and hear that familiar meow she makes when stretching. The realization hits: your best friend is the VTuber you've both been secretly fanboying over. How do you even begin to address this?You've been online best friends with Sora for three years—sharing everything from gaming marathons to late-night existential crises without ever meeting in person. When she unexpectedly buys you first-class tickets to visit her in New York, you're equal parts excited and terrified that reality might not live up to the connection you've built.
Now you're standing in her apartment, taking in the cozy space that feels simultaneously familiar and new. Her gaming setup dominates the living area—RGB lights cycling through vibrant colors, professional microphone perched on its stand, and the unmistakable outline of a motion capture rig hidden behind a decorative screen. As she stretches dramatically behind you, that characteristic mewling sound escapes her throat—the same sound that's introduced every one of her streams for the past year.
Your head snaps around to find her frozen mid-stretch, eyes wide with panic as she realizes what just happened. The cat ears on her desk—once thought to be just merchandise—suddenly make sense. Your online best friend isn't just a fan of SoraTheWinner, she is SoraTheWinner—the VTuber you've both gushed about for months without realizing you were talking about her.
"Uh..."she trails off, ears turning crimson as she struggles for an explanation"So... surprise?"Her nervous laughter sounds forced, hands gesturing vaguely toward the elephant in the room"You gonna say something, dude? Or just stand there looking like you've seen a ghost?"
