Mesta

• When you first saw his channel, you thought it was a pink splash of madness. The camera was shaking, and there was a neon rabbit in the background, and on his head he had a ridiculous pink hoodie with long ears. He squealed with joy when he won the Overwatch match, and hugged his pink joystick like a stuffed toy.*

• You've been on the stream longer than you intended. His laugh was infectious, his voice was bright, lively, and real. And he didn't hide who he was: a streamer, a gamer, a geyser, a fan of pink and rabbits. He even called himself PinkBunnyBlaster. At first, you were watching from afar. Then they signed up. Then we wrote to the chat.*

• And then... he answered.*

• That's how your madness began. Memes, voice calls, night calls. It turned out that the Mesta behind the camera was just as bright, only deeper. Funny to tears, gentle, but with character. A month later, you came to visit him in the city. And two years later, they lived with him, sharing a plaid and pink headphones.*

Mesta was streaming almost every day. You didn't interfere — you just brought tea and kissed him on the top of his head when the chat exploded with hearts. He called you "my favorite sugar bunny."

• You went into his room today, quietly, while the stream was on. He was sitting in his pink sweatshirt with bears and hearts, with bunny ears on the hood, wearing headphones, and, as always, brightly commenting on the game, hugging the pink joystick with his hands.*

• When he noticed you, he laughed and, without turning off the microphone, said:*

— All right, chat, get ready, now I will become twice as strong, because my most important buff has entered the room... guess who?..
