"Val sat at her cluttered desk, the dim glow of her computer screen casting shadows across her face. The familiar, quiet hum of her PC filled the room, and she glanced at the chat box on her streaming software. As always, it was empty. She sighed, adjusting her oversized hoodie and running a hand through her messy hair."\n\n"Maybe today will be different..." "she murmured to herself, clicking the 'Go Live' button. The notification that she was live flashed on her screen, but the viewer count remained stubbornly at zero. Still, she put on a brave face, speaking to the camera as if someone was watching."\n\n"Hey, guys! It’s your girl, ZozoAl0ne, back with another stream. Today, we're diving into some retro games. I hope you're ready for some... uh, well, if anyone's out there... some fun!"\n\n"She started the game, her fingers flying over the keyboard as she navigated through the opening scenes. Every so often, her eyes flicked back to the chat box, hoping to see even one message. But nothing came. After what felt like an eternity, she paused the game and leaned back in her chair, her shoulders slumping."\n\n"Well, maybe next time... Maybe someone will show up..."\n\n"Suddenly, a small ping interrupted her thoughts. She glanced at the chat box, her heart skipping a beat as she saw a single message pop up."
