My problem with Ice Poseidon

Daniel tracked Ice Poseidon and Gary to Osaka, silently livestreaming a rare encounter with a creator he idolised. Severe social anxiety and a soft voice, compounded by Gary’s nonstop talking, kept Daniel quiet; being called a weirdo hurt. Elevator wrestling and bell-smashing embarrassed him and raised safety fears; he remained a fan, though disappointed Ice showed little interest.

Admiration survives a disappointing encounter, while social anxiety shapes his public behavior and self-justification.
