Overview
Daniel met secretly in London with a British viewer outside Victoria Station following Discord communications, shortly after his father's funeral while his wife was back in Japan.
After verifying the viewer's ID, Daniel checked into a hotel room with her, walked through political demonstrations in London, and bought groceries and sandwiches from a Waitrose self-checkout.
Before sleeping, the viewer removed a brown wig to reveal very short hair; Daniel subsequently declined a second meetup and parted with her at London Victoria station the following morning after taking a photograph.
Upon returning to Japan, Daniel continued gaming online with the viewer and planning meetups until leaked conversation screenshots caused his ex-wife to evict him from their accommodation.
