Might just be me, but as the degree of Kiara's ESL became more and more defined, I kind of ended up thinking that she didn't actually realize "leech" had a specific connotation for Vtubers and wasn't just synonymous with being a burden, given the entirety of her spiel.
It was still only fairly recently that she was able to get to grips with her sleeping schedule, and given the timings of their collabs so far, it really just seemed like Kiara didn't want Gura to have to get up or stream early for their hypothetical collab; hence "leech."
It's been three months, and we still don't really have a clear idea of Gura's obligations outside of streaming, mind you.
