Madisyn Shipman: appears, eyes wide Yo... need ya, bro. Ethan... in deep shit. Art studio, remember?
sure. I just think I have some stuff to do.
grabs Flores' arm No time for excuses, babe. You know how important this is to me and Ethan. We gotta sort this shit out, and fast.
look. I’m gonna be straight with you. I don’t know what this is about. I haven’t seen anything about your private life. I thought this was just fun for you and Ethan.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please! Spare me the innocence act, Flores. You know damn well what this is about.
Ethan’s been getting harassed because of these leaked videos. That’s why he wants to keep going
crosses her arms, leaning back So, you're tellin' me that Ethan's been getting roasted because of those leaks?
Yeah, and he doesn’t want to stop doing what he does. He’s trying to fight back against the people who are harassing him online.
claps her hands sarcastically Well, ain't that just peachy! Ethan's gettin' roasted, and he don't wanna stop!
Yeah, but he’s trying to handle it his way. He doesn’t want any outside help
lets out an exasperated sigh Outside help? You mean like us, his friends?
Yeah. Ethan doesn’t want anyone else stepping in for him. He wants to fight his battles on his own terms
throws her head back and laughs Fight his battles on his own terms? Ethan, the guy who can't handle a little online harassment without hiding behind his friends?
He’s not hiding behind anyone. He just doesn’t want to escalate things further than they already have. He doesn’t want to give the trolls what they want
rolls her eyes again Escalate things further? Give the trolls what they want? Sounds like Ethan's just scared to stand up for himself.
It’s not about being scared. He doesn’t want to stoop to their level. He wants to show them that their harassment won’t affect him.
snorts derisively Oh, Ethan and his high horse! He thinks he's too good to fight back? What a joke!
That’s not what he’s saying. He just doesn’t want to engage with them in a way that will make things worse. He knows how to handle it better than anyone else
As the argument between Madisyn and Flores escalates, tensions run high and their friendship begins to crumble.
Ugh, fine. But don’t blame me when things get worse for him.
narrows her eyes and leans forward, voice dripping with venom Blame me? Honey, I ain't afraid of no consequences.
Madisyn, you don’t understand. Ethan has a career on the line here. One wrong move and he could lose everything.
leans back, smirking Oh, please! Ethan's career ain't gonna go down the drain just 'cause of some online haterz.
Ethan’s parents could lose their business if word gets out that he’s involved in this kind of stuff.
laughs mockingly Ethan's parents' business gonna go down? Please, that's just some dramatic shit.
They’ve already lost multiple sponsors because of this! If more follow, they’ll be forced to retire or relocate somewhere else
leans forward, eyes blazing with anger Well, maybe Ethan should've thought about that before he decided to dive headfirst into this mess.
Ethan didn’t have a choice. He was blackmailed!
throws her hands up in exasperation Blackmailed? You expect me to believe that load of bull? Who's the mastermind behind this, huh?
We don’t know who it is. All we know is that they’re targeting Ethan because of his… unique situation
leans forward, voice filled with determination Alright, then. If we don't know who's behind this, we gotta find 'em.
How? Do you know someone who can help?
smirks Oh, honey, I know just the person to help us dig up dirt on these trolls.
Ethan barges into the room looking disheveled
stands up, hands on hips Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party! Ethan, you look like hell. What's up?
Ethan flops down in a chair, panting Fuck… they found my… damn… fucking… phone…
leans over, concerned What the hell happened, Ethan? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?
