Strange things began to happen on the internet.
At first, anonymous posts appeared, speaking of secret files within the YouTube corporation. Not many paid attention to it.
But only hours later... the real leaks began to surface.
Internal messages. Hidden reports. And information revealing the company's disregard for reports of bullying and serious psychological incidents, in addition to exploiting tragic clips to generate massive profits and views.
Within a short time... the issue turned into a media storm. News channels were filled with talk of the scandal, while social media ignited with rage.
One morning... Misaki was preparing tea, while Honoka and Yoshika sat watching television.
Suddenly—
A breaking news report appeared on the screen:
"YouTube issues an official apology following recent leaks, and announces the permanent deletion of the video of Honoka's incident."
Honoka froze in her place. Her eyes widened in shock, as if she couldn't yet grasp the words. As for Yoshika, she jumped with joy:
Yoshika:
"They actually deleted it!"
Ahmed entered the room after hearing her voice. He looked at the screen for a long moment... then sighed quietly.
For the first time since the beginning of that catastrophe... he felt that a piece of justice had finally been achieved.
But despite that... he knew deep down that this was not the end.
Rather, it was the beginning of an entirely new chapter.
