Morning arrived with the kind of Lagos sunlight that filled every corner of the room before anyone even opened the curtains.
Shina woke slowly.
For a few seconds he stared at the ceiling, his mind still foggy with sleep. The previous night had been long, chaotic, and almost unbelievable. Even in that half-awake state he could still feel the adrenaline from the day before humming faintly in his chest.
Then the memory returned all at once.
The vlog.
The views.
The messages.
He reached for his phone immediately.
The screen lit up with another wave of notifications.
The video had crossed twenty-five million views overnight.
Shina blinked twice, rubbed his eyes, and checked again.
Still there.
Twenty-five million.
He sat up slowly on the bed, staring at the number like it might vanish if he blinked too hard.
"…Jesus."
His follower count had jumped again.
What had been a few thousand just days ago was now climbing toward a million.
