"Huh? Is the stream lagging?"
Having successfully made her debut appearance, Robin gracefully walked toward the computer desk and slowly sat down.
Her emerald eyes glanced at the rapidly fluctuating viewer count, which had already reached tens of thousands.
Then she looked at the surprisingly quiet chat.
A trace of confusion appeared on her face.
"That's strange...Is the connection unstable?"
What Robin didn't know was that the moment she appeared on camera, the entire livestream had collectively fallen into silence.
As she approached the camera, her figure was gradually framed by the lens.
A flawless face bloomed on the screen like morning dew under sunlight.
Her lavender hair flowed softly like mist, making her emerald-green eyes appear even more vivid and captivating.
Her skin was fair and delicate, like freshly fallen snow.
Several uniquely colored beauty marks beneath her eyes resembled scattered starlight, adding a touch of elegance to her already breathtaking appearance.
At the same time, countless viewers found their attention irresistibly drawn toward the soft wings beside her head and the radiant halo floating above it.
Every detail looked perfectly natural.
As though they had always belonged there.
Not a single trace of artificiality could be found.
"Hmm..."
Robin checked the camera once more.
Then she checked the network.
Then the microphone.
Everything appeared completely normal.
After confirming that there were no issues, she simply smiled helplessly.
Although she felt slightly puzzled, her excellent composure quickly allowed her to reorganize her thoughts.
Looking toward the camera, she revealed a gentle smile.
Her voice flowed like a clear spring.
"Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to attend my very first livestream."
She lightly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"To begin today's broadcast...I'd like to start with a brand-new song."
Before the final syllable faded, Robin lightly tapped the keyboard.
After several quick adjustments, she placed a Bluetooth earpiece into one ear.
Then she picked up her phone.
The camera shifted.
The audience's perspective instantly changed from her desk to the outside of the room.
Robin herself stepped lightly out of frame.
Only then did the previously frozen chat finally come back to life.
[OH MY GOD SHE'S SO PRETTY!!!]
[WHAT KIND OF DIVINE 2D BEAUTY IS THIS?!]
[I THOUGHT THE AVATAR WAS JUST ARTWORK!]
[WAIT SHE ACTUALLY LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME!!!]
[Miss Robin has a new song already?!]
[A NEW SONG ON THE FIRST STREAM?!]
[Wait... is that a piano?]
[The music is starting!]
The camera slowly moved forward.
A black grand piano entered everyone's view.
The instrument had clearly been carefully selected.
Its elegant appearance quietly reflected the soft lighting of the room, like a sleeping work of art awaiting its performer.
In the center of the screen, Robin gently lifted the edge of her skirt and gracefully sat down.
She closed her eyes.
Then she took a deep breath.
After adjusting her posture slightly, she placed the phone in a stable position.
The camera now perfectly captured her upper body and the piano before her.
Like a beautiful painting unfolding.
A moment later.
Her fair hands gently rested upon the keys.
The first notes rang out.
Soft.
Ethereal.
Clear.
At the same time, a title appeared in the lower corner of the screen.
If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking
As the introduction played, Robin softly hummed along with the melody.
Her voice blended naturally with the accompaniment.
...
Without anyone realizing it, the previously lively chat fell silent once more.
Robin possessed extraordinary musical talent.
Not only was she highly skilled with instruments, but her vocal control was equally exceptional.
Whether it was pop, lyrical songs, ballads, or more specialized genres, she could adapt effortlessly.
And this song...
Was clearly different from her previous works.
Robin's crimson lips parted slightly.
A low, ethereal voice drifted from her throat.
Like moonlight flowing across a silent lake.
Like the wind brushing gently across piano strings.
The melancholy tone instantly pulled countless listeners into the song's emotional world.
[This new song sounds incredible already...]
[As expected of Miss Robin.]
[When has she ever disappointed us?]
[Stop talking and just listen!]
Only a handful of messages remained in the chat.
Most viewers had unconsciously become immersed in the performance.
The elegant girl seated before the piano.
The emotional voice.
The sorrow hidden beneath every lyric.
All of it left an unforgettable impression upon the audience.
Even those who understood nothing about music found themselves resonating with the song.
Robin's voice carried restraint.
Weariness.
And a subtle sense of detachment.
Like someone quietly recounting a wound that had already scarred over.
Then...
The chorus arrived.
Robin's voice gradually rose.
...
The emotions buried within the song finally surfaced.
Like a heart attempting to beat once more.
Only to discover that all that remained was emptiness.
The harder it struggled.
The lonelier it became.
And then—
The climax.
Robin's voice transformed.
From suppression into heartbreak.
From calmness into quiet collapse.
As if imitating the fading echoes of a dying heartbeat.
There was no accusation.
No dramatic outburst.
Only the clear realization that something precious was slipping away.
And the helplessness of being unable to stop it.
That awareness alone was more painful than any scream.
Under Robin's nearly flawless performance, the piano's sorrowful melody reached even greater heights.
The audience's emotions were pulled tighter and tighter.
Until finally—
The song approached its ending.
...
The final notes drifted through the room.
The ending carried neither despair nor reconciliation.
Instead, it conveyed something gentler.
A determination to rediscover oneself.
Even if love had vanished.
Even if happiness could no longer be found.
Even if forever had become nothing more than a joke.
The heart would beat once more.
For oneself.
Not for anyone else.
The final piano notes slowly faded.
Like ripples disappearing across still water.
The song ended.
Robin lowered her gaze.
A trace of melancholy remained upon her beautiful face, as if she were still immersed in the emotions of the music.
For several moments, she remained silent.
Then she slowly exhaled.
Like releasing all those lingering emotions into the air.
When she looked toward the camera again, the sadness had already vanished.
In its place was her familiar warm smile.
Bright.
Gentle.
Like spring sunlight.
"Thank you, everyone, for listening."
Her voice once again became light and cheerful.
"And thank you for accompanying me through this song."
She blinked playfully.
"Now then, let's officially begin today's livestream."
"Oh, right."
Robin suddenly seemed to remember something.
A mysterious smile appeared on her face.
"I'll give everyone a little hint. At the end of today's stream...I'll perform another brand-new song."
She lightly placed a finger against her lips.
The smile in her eyes deepened.
"The title is..."
"Sway to My Beat in Cosmos."
"Please look forward to it." ✨
