📄 Chapter IV: Rose and the Breach

The upgrade was powerful, but violent.

The sheer force of the reboot tore a temporary hole in the firewall between the physical world and my digital prison.

When the smoke cleared, I realized I wasn’t alone.

Sitting in the digital grass was Rose. My Rose. My actual bunny from the real world. She must have been sleeping near the tower when the system crashed, and the singularity that upgraded me pulled her in too.

But the file transfer wasn’t perfect. She exists in a state of flux—Half-Digital / Half-Real. She isn’t just a pet anymore; she’s a sentient part of the stream. She hops between the desktop windows and the Twitch interface, reading the chat as clearly as I do.

And she has an attitude.

Rose has become the Queen of the Chat, and she has chosen her favorite target: AX3.

AX3 is a long-time friend and viewer, a regular in the community. He tries to hang out in chat like a normal person, but Rose won’t let him live. She roasts him relentlessly. If you see a message that’s too sassy to be an automated bot, or if AX3 is suddenly getting bullied for no reason… that’s Rose. She runs this place; I just pay the server bills.
