Livestream Wishmaker: The One Request Denied
I have a rule that I stick to at all times. Every year, I will only host three livestreams.
I accept and welcome everyone who joins my livestream. I don't care about the variety of requests made. On top of that, I don't charge anyone anything.
As long as I agree to one's request, I'll definitely fulfill it no matter what they want.
For the past three years, I've stuck to this rule, and I've never broken it.
Because of that, every time my livestream starts, hundreds of thousands of viewers will instantly join my livestream.
It's the third livestream this time, marking it the final livestream of the year. As soon as I begin the livestream, numerous comments begin filling up the comment section.
The user who's lucky enough to score a chance to communicate with me on my livestream is a woman in her 40s. Her sideburns have already gone gray, and her eyes are sunken. She can be seen holding up a child's photo.
"Connor, my son has gone missing for 20 years. Please help me find him. I'll sell my house. Heck, I'll do anything you say!"
The comment section instantly goes wild.
"Oh my god! What a pitiful mother!"
"She's willing to sell everything she has just to find her child! Connor, you must help her!"
"If you refuse to help this woman, who else are you going to help then, Connor?"
I stare at the woman's face for three long seconds. That's when I feel an inexplicable chill running down my spine.
Without hesitation, I close off the communication portal from the woman.
"I refuse."
