    Summary

    Erik has been alone for most of his life, but it's been bearable. Enriching himself with the vast world wide web, he finds that he can be anyone he wants to be while finding the solution to social needs that he's severely neglected.

    Stumbling onto a small YouTube channel run by a beautiful young woman, he wonders if it's possible that he doesn't actually have to be alone forever.


    Christine Daae has led a relatively sheltered life. Despite her father's chronic illness and their poverty, she has always had a knack for looking on the bright side of everything. In the hype of social media, she creates a small VLog channel to function as her living scrapbook. She doesn't understand just how dangerous it could be.
