Untouched Pixel
Chapter 4: Pixel Perfect Ending
Tokyo shimmered in neon lights as the Grand Face Reveal Convention reached its climax. A convention where the faceless legends of the internet finally showed the world who's behind the screen. Influencers, streamers, VTubers, and curious fans packed into the massive Tokyo Dome.
Among the lineup was a curious name, listed with no photo or real name—
"Untouched Pixel"
Subscriber count: 721 subs
Views per video: less than 100
Nobody took it seriously. Some even assumed it was a mistake.
Yet there he was. Shyam.
Wearing a simple hoodie, slightly trembling but with a fire in his eyes. Ayani squeezed his hand before he went up on stage. "Go show the world who you are."
He stepped onto the stage.
The lights were blinding. The crowd murmured, confused.
"Who the hell is this guy?"
"He's got 700 subs. Is this a joke?"
Front row, dressed in designer everything—Raitha.
Still glowing from her own rise. Now with 110 million subscribers and a snazzy new editor at her side.
She barely glanced up from her phone.
Shyam took a deep breath.
He leaned toward the mic.
"…I don't really know what to say."
The crowd grew quiet.
"…But… I loved you, Raitha."
Every heartbeat in the room froze.
She looked up. Confused. "What the…?"
"I loved the way you smiled, the way you sang. I edited every MV like it was a love letter. I gave you my time, my talent, my heart. You threw it away."
Silence thick enough to slice with a sword.
Shyam gave a small bow. "That's all I had to say."
He turned to leave.
Then—
BOOM.
The entire stage behind him lit up. Giant screens flashed to life, showing a YouTube channel interface.
Everyone turned.
Gasps. Screams. Someone dropped their bubble tea.
A YouTube channel with 752 MILLION subscribers.
Views in the trillions.
A back-catalog of viral videos. AMVs, storytelling edits, animations, live premieres.
It wasn't a channel.
It was a digital empire.
Username: Untouched Pixel
Same name.
Same guy.
Shyam.
"W-What the hell?!" Raitha shot up, stumbling over her own jaw. "THAT'S—THAT'S HIS?!"
Ayani walked on stage with a mic. Calm, collected. "Yeah. That's his. He just… didn't need to flex it until now."
The world tilted.
People scrambled to tweet, post, breathe.
#UntouchedPixel trended globally in seconds.
And Shyam?
He turned, smiled at Ayani, and took the mic one last time.
"You know, I used to think love needed to be earned through effort. That if I worked hard enough, I'd matter to someone.
Then she left.
But she stayed."
He looked at Ayani. She nodded, tears threatening to fall.
"I didn't build this to impress anyone. I built it to tell stories no one else would.
But now… I think I'll start writing stories where the one who stays gets the happy ending."
Crowd. ERUPTED.
Raitha collapsed back into her seat, eyes wide, hands shaking. Her new editor leaned away awkwardly like, "I think I'm gonna go now."

Back in India – A Few Weeks Later
Shyam and Ayani sat on their rooftop.
"750 million subs and you still wear socks with holes in them," she teased.
He grinned. "It's for ventilation."
"You didn't need to do that reveal, you know," she said softly.
"I know," he replied. "But I needed closure. And to let her know… I loved her. But I love myself more now."
She leaned her head on his shoulder. "And what about me?"
"You?" He smiled. "You're the one who stayed when the screen went dark. That means more than subs ever could."

And somewhere across the world, on a lonely screen…
Raitha clicked replay.
Again. And again.
Not to remember him.
But to remember what it feels like…
To lose someone who truly loved you.
