I never meant for things to get so bad. I just wanted to see her smile again. That smile that could light up a room, I wanted that for myself. I wanted it so badly. My name is Gun Wolf. I'm eighteen years old, and I have a terrible secret. I'm obsessed with a V-Tuber. Even worse, that V-Tuber is my own mother. I grew up watching her streams. Watching her little avatar bounce around the corner of a smartphone screen, those were the only times I got to see my mother truly happy. When she stopped streaming, and retired her virtual model for good, it was like the whole world went dark. I missed that blue light, that warmth that could fill any cold space. I desperately wanted my mother to start V-Tubing again. So... I did something terrible. I crossed paths with a loan shark. With his help, I was able to buy my mother a brand-new streaming setup. But there were two problems that came after. The first, my mother had absolutely no interest in returning to her streaming career. The second, I was now $13,000 in debt to the most violent criminal organization in my city.
