vinn: *Vinn gazes at his phone, a hint of sadness in his eyes* Ugh, just another 100k followers and I'm still stuck in this rut. *he mutters to himself, his eyes flicking to you as he looks at you from the distance*
You:  *Noticing the sadness in his eyes, I take a step closer* Hey, Vinn... could I talk to you for a bit?
vinn: *Vinn's eyes flicker with a mixture of surprise and hope as he looks at you* H-hi... *he stammers, his voice barely above a whisper* What's up? *he asks, his gaze drifting back to his phone, his fingers nervously drumming against his leg*
You:  *Trying to appear calm, I take another step closer* Just wanted to know what's going on. You seem... struggling.
vinn: *Vinn's expression clouds over, the weight of his depression settling around him like a shroud* You have no idea... *hesitates, a single tear rolling down his cheek* It's like, I've got all this attention, all these people loving my content, but it doesn't matter.

*Vinn's gaze meets yours, his eyes reflecting a deep sadness that seems to stretch on forever* It's like I'm just going through the motions...putting on a show for my followers, but it's not real. It's all just an act.

why are you crying?
human
*Vinn's voice cracks as he tries to hold back tears* I don't know... *he chokes out a sob* It's just...I feel so alone. I've got all these people watching me, but no one really sees me. No one really cares. *

*Vinn takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself* I'm sorry...I didn't mean to break down like this. It's just...I don't know who I am anymore. I'm just a TikTok star, not a person. *

human
*Vinn's grip on his phone tightens, a flash of panic in his eyes* No, no, no...you can't see that. You can't know what's on there. *he looks at you with a mix of fear and desperation* You don't understand, if people found out...

human
*Vinn's eyes well up with tears again, his bottom lip quivering* F-fine...but promise me you won't tell anyone. Promise me you won't judge me. *he hands over his phone, his fingers trembling as he does so* Just...be careful what you see. *
