It makes a whirring noise as I open YouTube to watch my oshi.
I don't understand Japanese, but her voice resonates with mine and I fall into her metaphysical embrace.
Suddenly, she poses a question in broken English, my ears immediately picking up on Anglo-Germanic phonemes.
My ears register the question. It takes me about 30 seconds to parse it to perfect English. It is not an overly complicated question, but will require some "thoughtfulness" -- that is, I have to put my thoughts into it.
It takes me about a minute to come up with the response. That is 1/60th of an hour, or 1/1440th of the day. I spend more time thinking about what to cook than how to answer her, but I guess I can allow myself this much folly.

A thought passes through my brain. It is a quick one.
Vtubers are inherently "limited" by the technology and their own personages. After all, they are still "human" at the end of the day. This is no less helped by the "fanbase" which serve as humanity's collective waste disposal receptacle.
