Jean glanced at her phone. Dominic’s name was lighting up the screen.
She figured he must have seen the trending topics already.
She picked up the call-
And sure enough.
Dominic was calling to make sure she was okay.
Jean was a little surprised. This convenient older brother actually cared. She replied sweetly, assuring him she was perfectly
fine.
Still, a curious thought crossed her mind-
Was Dominic also worried about Easton?
After all, Easton had been at the Central Theater 100. He was family
family, wasn’t he?
But from what Jean had observed in the past few days, the members of the Ginger family weren’t exactly close.
The Gingers looked powerful on the surface, but beneath it all, they were fragmented–scattered like sand.
Each person was competent in their own way, but there was no unity. They acted like strangers, emotionally distant, and some even seemed downright hostile.
When prestigious families fall, it’s rarely because of outside attacks. Most of the time, it’s because of internal collapse.
So it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Ginger family eventually crumbled.
Jean didn’t bring up Easton. After hanging up, she headed back to her room.
And then-
Twitter’s trending list updated.
There was an update on Mr. Lamda’s disappearance,
She tapped into the top tweet. It was from a girl named Golden Mic.
She was a student at Blairford Film Academy–the same school where Mr. Lamda had taught. He’d been her advisor.
At first, Jean thought it would be a prayer or a show of concern for her missing teacher.
But when she opened the thread-
It was the exact opposite.
Golden Mic laid out everything. Line by line, post by post–angry, painful, and raw.
Mr. Lamda had withheld her project wages. She hadn’t been paid a cent.
He treated her like a servant, constantly assigning her tedious errands.
And worst of all–he had harassed her.
The revelations hit like a bomb. Everyone online was stunned.
“Wait, so the victim’s actually the bad guy?”
“I feel sick. I want to throw up
“He can’t just vanish. He should face the consequences
“This is bevond disturbing
“I hope that poor girl’s okay. This is horrifying
Jean scrolled quickly. Things were spanning way beyond what she had expected.

If she was just taking advantage of the attention following his disappearance, that made sense.
But Mr. Lamda was still missing. He could return at any moment.
Wasn’t she afraid he’d come after bert
Unless-
wouldn’t be coming back.
Fight the Golden Mic posted another update

Her only request was this make Mr. Lamda suffer. Make him feel helpless. Make him face what he’d done and apologize to his victims publicly
Which meant-
Everything that happened at Central Theater today had been orchestrated by Golden Mic and the organization behind her.
This tweet flipped the internet on its head
“What kind of group is this I need to know.”
“Wait, you’re the one behind all this?!”
“That’s insane.”
“I get it. Lamda’s a monster, but those kinds of groups? You don’t mess with that.”
“So the blackout… the disappearance… all of it? That was them?
“Selling yourself to a secret organization: That’s terrifying
“Feels like justice, but I’ve got chills”
“Look, when you’re that desperate, you do what you have to. Easy for people to judge when they’ve never been there.”
“Honestly, if I’d been in her shoes, I might’ve done worse.”
Twist after twist, bombshell after bombshell–Golden Mic and Mr. Lamda stayed locked in the top two spots on Twitter’s trending list.
Eventually, more victims came forward.
Girls with similar experiences.
They posted in support of Golden Mic. calling her their hero.
She had done what they couldn’t.

“Call it what you want, but she fought back. She’s brave. I support her.”
Jean sat on the edge of her bed, phone in hand, eyes locked on the screen in silence.
Golden Mic never revealed the name of the
organization.
But Jean was sure of it-
It was the Abyssal Choir.
