[17:29] LagIsAFeature: TELL US ABOUT THE DLC

[17:29] SaltyPenguin: guys if he had dlc info he probably can’t tell us

[17:29] LootGoblin92: @SaltyPenguin let me dream

“I’m not telling you anything about the DLC.” I point at the camera. “Not a word.”

A question catches my eye.

[17:29] AFKAgain: did you ask about the bartender romance cut content

I freeze for one beat, then a smile spreads beneath my mask, and the chat catches it.

[17:30] AFKAgain: HE’S SMILING HE KNOWS

[17:30] GlitchGremlin: how can you tell through the mask

[17:30] AFKAgain: @GlitchGremlin STICK AROUND YOUNG ONE YOU’LL LEARN

[17:30] LootGoblin92: OH MY GOD

[17:30] PixelPanic: BUNNY

[17:30] SaltyPenguin: oh no

“You want to know about the Bartender?” I lean toward the camera. “Well, my lips are zipped.”

I sit back and wink.

Chat loses its collective mind.

[17:31] LootGoblin92: THE BARTENDER WAS TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE SENTINEL

[17:31] LagIsAFeature: no way the sentinel was too duty-bound

[17:31] NoScopeNoodle: zerosignal has been saying this for years

[17:31] AFKAgain: WAIT HOLY SHIT ZEROSIGNAL WAS RIGHT

[17:31] LagIsAFeature: @NoScopeNoodle zerosignal thinks everyone is secretly romanceable

[17:32] NoScopeNoodle: THEY HAVE SPREADSHEETS

My fingers hover over the keyboard. I didn’t expect them to start talking about my OG alt.

It’s surreal.

[17:32] ButtonMasherX: LANTERN KEY SPONSORSHIP???

[17:32] SaltyPenguin: bunny signed with lantern key??

[17:32] CtrlAltDefeat: WAIT IS THIS AN AD

[Notification] JustOneMoreRun subscribed for 3 months!

[17:32] JustOneMoreRun: came here for murder bunny stayed for 15-year-old-game drama

“No.” I slash a hand through the air. “No sponsorship. No secret DLC deal. No early-access announcement. I toured the studio as a fan. That’s it.”
