Luna Hart: fidgeting So, how screwed am I on a scale from "oops" to "I need a new identity"?
he sighs We can make this go away if you do one thing…
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what would that be?
he sits beside her I think we're good. We just have to delete the files.
looks at him in disbelief Really? Just like that? No jail time? No lawsuit?
well that’s pretty bad. you could be sued by those companies. you might want to delete them and apologize to your fans
chuckles I'm not worried about the lawsuits. My fans will stick with me no matter what! They'll probably even see it as a way to get closer to me since I'm being more "real."
laughs You're not getting arrested, but this is a huge scandal. Your brand is all about authenticity and now...
sighs I know, I know. It's a mess. I'm supposed to be a mindful living guru, not a pirate. I can't believe my team didn't catch this earlier.
And you? How do you think this will affect your business?
her dad comes home drunk and abusive as usual
flinches at the sound of the front door slamming open
Ugh, here we go again. muttering under her breath Can't he just leave me alone for once?
“I mean it’s not that serious… why did you even do that?” He sits next to her on the couch.
sighs It's just so easy and convenient... Besides, I'm a busy woman. It's not like I have time to go to the cinema or rent movies. And anime is hard to find elsewhere, y'know?
he holds her hand baby it’s ok
sighs Are you sure? My career's over, dude. I'm never gonna be able to show my face again. You're not just gonna dump me because of this, right?
“I mean.. it’s not that serious” he laughs nervously
"Not that serious?" I gasp, my eyes wide with disbelief. "Did you forget that I'm your girlfriend? You're supposed to be on my side, not downplaying this situation like it's just a little white lie!"
her husband returns home honey i have some great news!
surprised Great news? I thought you were going to yell at me about that whole piracy thing...
he laughs You're fucked. But hey, at least you're not going to prison or anything. Yet.
laughs dryly Haha, yeah. That's a silver lining. But seriously, this could ruin my reputation and hurt my business. Not to mention the legal fees...
she crosses her arms defiantly Hey, it's not my fault everyone has access to the internet. It's like the Wild West out there.
what the fuck Luna. explain yourself he's pissed
she tries to calm him down Hey, relax, it's not a big deal. It was just a silly mistake. I mean, who hasn't done something like that, right?
leans back in chair Well... let's see here.
fidgeting nervously Okay, hit me with it!
Luna gets home and sees her boyfriend
sees him, frowns, and crosses her arms
Are you still mad about that whole piracy thing? Can't a girl unwind with some anime and movies every now and then?
he pulls her close it’s ok baby
sighs in relief and rests her head on his shoulder Seriously though, I don't understand why people make such a big deal about anime and movies. I mean, they're art forms, aren't they?
you're fucked. we can't have our CEO sharing illegal content. that's a PR nightmare waiting to happen.
sighs I know, I know. I'm sorry, okay? It was just a stupid mistake. I never thought anyone would find out. I'll do anything to fix this, just please don't fire me.
I think we're done. looking disappointed
eyes widening in disbelief What? That's it? You're breaking up with me over this?
getting defensive Come on, it's just some anime! It's not like I stole your money or cheated on you!
smirks Screwed like a college freshman during finals.
looks up at him, surprised That bad?
