Watching Ironmouse fulfill an old promise to Nyanners had the audience tearing up, their joyous emotions affecting all the other players in the room they were gathered in.Ironmouse uses VR equipment for the first timeThe popular VTuber Ironmouse recently acquired a set of VR equipment. Until then, she had been playing VRChat using the generic keyboard and mouse controls, making it quite difficult to perform more personalized actions within the game.The whole moment was captured on several Twitch creators' streams, including Robert "roflgator" Malecki who was the one who led Ironmouse to Nyanners. Reassuring her that she was doing great for her time with VR equipment, they walked into the dining room that Nyanners and Veibae were currently in.As soon as the two laid eyes on each other, they began screaming hysterically with joy. After comically struggling to remove her character from a sofa, Nyanners got up and quickly went to Ironmouse. In the background, Veibae could be heard exclaiming,"You're in VR!"Ironmouse joyfully replied that she was. She then hugged Nyanners, leading to both of them sobbing from the overwhelming emotions that had overtaken them.For context, Ironmouse suffers from Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), a rare disease that attacks her immune system. As she's explained in previous streams of hers, the VTuber is heavily affected by her illness, unable to go outside and is mostly stuck in her bed, away from regular human contact.In an interview with YouTuber and comedian Anthony Padilla, she stated,“I got so sick that I couldn’t go out. And my contact with people was very limited and I felt like I couldn’t really be a human. So, I started being a VTuber. I have never felt more myself than I have in this digital body."VTubing allowed her to gain a human connection that she would otherwise not have, making friends online and playing games while keeping her identity private.During a VRChat stream earlier this year, Ironmouse made a promise to Nyanners, who had affectionately hugged her:"One day, I will hug you back."As such, seeing Ironmouse be able to fulfill her promise and hug another person, which she would normally not be able to do, was a touching moment for not only her audience, but for those who were also present at the scene.
