Небольшое отступление: я всё ещё боготворю Мегги. •́ ‿ ,•̀ Она literally ЕДИНСТВЕННЫЙ человек, который обращался с Джо как с ребенком — действительно беспокоился, направлял, утешал и нежно заботился о нем. По сути именно она была его матерью. Только благодаря ей он вырос хорошим человеком. Т-Т
На момент второго поколения Мегги и Хьюго уже не было в живых — они умерли после того, как Джорджа сбила машина. Мозг защищает самую важную информацию для выживания, а Мегги и Хьюго — это была база его безопасности, бетонированный слой памяти; они буквально заменили ему родителей.
Поэтому он тогда вышел из комы и помнил их даже со своей амнезией. Но обнаружил, что их больше нет
«Да когда уже Джордж появится в постах 🥲 Показываешь всех, кроме него»
АХАХАХА
Ладно, каюсь: я его напрочь убрала из постов, потому что к нему бывало много... предвзятого или поверхностного(?) отношения, и признаюсь, после 9-ти лет существования династии у меня обрушились абсолютно все надежды на какой-либо успех этого персонажа. Решила просто снести подчистую его присутствие в постах как действующего лица на первом плане, чтобы вести повествование со спокойной душой. Намного безопаснее для моей психики вкладываться творчески в призрака прошлого, чем в нынешнего реального персонажа с историей и болью, но с которым высок риск, что он обесценится — и весь труд над ним опять пойдет в мусорку.
Так что... Да, я тоже теперь немного душу и наказываю его аха 💀 Прячу, потому что слишком тяжёлый как персонаж, но слишком... конфликтный, провокационный (?)... то есть лёгкий для обесценивания или упрощения. Я тупо разочаровалась и решила его убрать, чтобы больше не расстраивал меня.
И прямо сейчас я хожу по яичной скорлупе касательно его возвращения в посты... Это очень острый для меня момент. :( Я сейчас как этот мем азаха
Тиффани хотя бы умерла всеми любимым солнышком. Как среди моей аудитории, так и среди своей семьи. А Джо... он просто груша для битья, который как бы ни развивался и ни двигал сюжет все равно автоматически отодвигается на второй план как персонаж-дополнение. И я уже ничего не могу с этим поделать — 9 лет прошло как-никак. А он ещё и затравленный по сюжету после своей карьеры блин 😭 Колючий, раненый циник -интеллектуал. Такие дела Т.Т
♬♪♫ Кто ты? Кто я? Нас отныне двое.
Нас отныне двое, только Ты и Я.
Кто ты? Кто я? Пьеса без героя.
Пьеса без героя ничего не стоит.
В ней я кукла, не судите строго.
Я смеюсь и плачу невпопад.
Если я на сцене поскользнулся,
Вам скажу, что сел я на шпагат.
Но однажды
Кукла стала взрослой
И, забыв про стрелки на часах,
Я всё то,
Чего всегда хотел,
В тот же миг прочёл в её глазах.
И тогда (ага),
И тогда (ага),
И тогда (ага),
Погибли раз и навсегда (ага).
Да, да, да
Давайте, три-четыре!
Да, мы с ней.
Такие вот дела.
Мы вам кто?
Мы что, мишени в тире?
По мишеням в тире
Целься, три-четыре!
Вы довольны?
Инцидент исчерпан?
Приговор успели дописать?
Фарс окончен?
Может, вы заткнётесь?
Не тяните,
Нас пора стрелять.
Прямо в сердце
Начните с меня.
Это любовь.
Такая фигня.
Каждый сам за себя.
Для себя.
Никого на свете не любя.
Вашу мать, мне плевать.
Лучше сдохнуть,
Чем вас умолять.
Clarence: I was part of the same system that killed you too...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟓:
Clarence: And now everything is burning down. This whole system. All this filth. All these people and all these deals... It’s all burning in hell. The way you once wished for me... The way I probably deserved.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟔:
Clarence: ...And somehow, I’m still here.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟕:
Clarence: ...Hey... I really thought you were happy, George. I thought you had everything I never did. Love. A family. A home. People looking at you like you were their entire world...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟖:
Clarence: And all I had was the studio. Just this goddamn career that’s been choking me for years and sitting in my throat like broken glass. And I... I stood there on top of my little empire and envied how easily you breathed around other people.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟗:
Clarence: The way people loved you. The way you loved them back. The fact that you didn’t need to build an empire around yourself just to feel worthy. The way people loved you... simply because you existed. Because you were real.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟎:
Clarence: ...And now it turns out you were playing a role this whole time too, George. You were literally an orphan with living parents...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟏:
Clarence: A child who kept getting left alone over and over again. A child who was forced to grow up far too early. A child who was shown too many times, too clearly, that love for him would always come with conditions attached.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟑:
Clarence: And all you had were Tiffany and the kids. And that was EVERYTHING you had in a family that didn’t see you as a person... but as a function. Tiffany’s husband. The father of their grandchildren. Just... an attachment that was supposed to work. Solve problems. Endure things. Hold everything together and stay convenient...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟒:
Clarence: God... all you ever wanted was a little bit of love and recognition from people.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟓:
Clarence: You wanted someone besides your wife and children to genuinely love you. You wanted the world to finally see you. To acknowledge that you existed. That you were more than some appendage exist to attend your family. That you were alive. Talented. Bright. Worthy. Special... And you always were. You were like that from the very beginning.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟔:
Clarence: ...And I used that against you. I used your fire. Your desperate need to break out of your own isolation. Your need to finally stop belonging to everyone else... and start belonging to yourself.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟕:
Clarence: I took your hunger for life. Your sincerity. Your trust. Your need to be loved... and started suffocating all of it with my own hands. Thinking I was in control. Thinking I was just protecting myself from you. Thinking that if I hit you first... controlled you, crushed you, pushed into your skin, held you down... maybe it would stop hurting so much. Maybe I’d stop feeling so alone. So terrified...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟖:
Clarence: Thinking that if I squeezed hard enough... I would stay safe. Untouchable. Loved. Clean...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟗:
Clarence: [presses the photo against his forehead] And in the end, I came out of all this filthy. My hands are stained with your wife’s blood now. With your tears. With the tears of your children...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟏:
Clarence: I’M FILTHY, George! I thought that if I became stronger than everyone around me, nobody would ever be able to hurt me again. I was so terrified of being deceived, violated, betrayed... unloved... that I ended up becoming the filthiest person in this entire story!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟐:
Clarence: I was so scared, George. I was scared too! I hated myself. Hated that I was nothing but a producer. Hated that nobody loved me. Hated being the kind of person who stands somewhere on the sidelines of other people’s lives and just watches while they love each other... fight... build families... have children... feel something real... ...while I stayed nothing but decorative background scenery abandoned on the side of life.
I HATED that I couldn’t even tell anyone what I actually felt. What I actually thought. I HATED that nobody cared. Hated that nobody even wanted to ask what was happening inside me...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟑:
Clarence: It was killing me that everything was always about everyone else’s feelings... but never mine. And every single time I tried to be sincere... people started looking at me like I had suddenly become weaker. Like my value ended exactly where my real personality began. It destroyed me. I hated that loneliness at the top. Hated that I knew how to create stars for other people... but had no idea how to be a human being for myself. You were the most real and beautiful thing I had back then and I destroyed it because I hated who I became around you!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟒:
Clarence: ...Near the end of our cooperation, when I finally started opening up to you... you pushed me away. You mocked me. You didn’t take me seriously. God, it hurt so much, George. I was genuinely trying to be a normal person... an interesting person to talk to. A good friend. I was trying to become something more than just your producer. [bitter laugh] But Jesus Christ... it was hopeless. Just as pathetic and fake as everything else about me.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟓:
Clarence: And then you tore up our contract... and I completely lost control of myself. Of everything I believed in. All that pain... all that resentment... that feeling of unfairness... it had been building inside me for years. Years of this career. Years of loneliness... And eventually it just... rotted inside me. Turned into hatred. Into rage. Into the need to destroy you. To erase you as an artist. As a professional. As a person. Just so I wouldn’t have to feel all that pain anymore.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟔:
Clarence: ...I lost control of absolutely everything. I fought so desperately for self-love. For my own safety. For the right not to be abandoned... that I betrayed and burned everyone around me.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟕:
Clarence: But I’m not fighting anymore. Because I’m tired of fighting.
You.
Myself.
This entire world.
To hell with all of it. Really. I’m just... gonna lie down here, fall apart into pieces, and burn.
— ...At first, none of this was supposed to go that far.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐:
Detective: What do you mean by "that far"?
— Our bosses didn't want a war with Roberts.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟑:
— Quite the opposite... they wanted to buy him. Sign him. Get his face, his name, his music, his influence...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟒:
— He was growing too fast. Pulling people in too fast. Shining too brightly.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟓:
— ...Becoming dangerous too fast.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟔:
— So... they sent someone to him. A middleman. Someone to deliver an offer and propose a partnership with us.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟕:
— I think his name was... Edward Garcia... or something like that.
Detective: Why him? Why send a middleman instead of approaching George directly?
— Edward knew Katzenberg. They'd worked together. Talked. They were friends. Our boss knew that if anyone could get through Clarence, it'd be him. Clarence was too possessive when it came to George, and we were afraid he'd keep him to himself... wouldn't let anyone near him. We needed someone Clarence trusted enough to let close to Roberts... and everything around him. Edward turned out to be the perfect choice.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟖:
— ...But Roberts refused to work with us.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟗:
Detective: He just refused?
— Yeah. He said no and walked away. No negotiation. No conditions. Just... "I'm declining your offer." That was it. He didn't even give us a chance.
Detective: And that was enough?
— You don't understand... for people like them, a rejection like that is personal. It's a slap in the face.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟎:
— Edward came back. And when he told them Roberts had refused... our director and the managers around him completely lost it. One of them even threw a mug into the wall. They weren't used to hearing "no." Not like that. Not that directly. Not without compromise. It hurt them.
Director: WHO THE HELL DOES THIS KID THINK HE IS?!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟏:
— ...Then it got worse. George kept rising.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟐:
— And our numbers kept falling.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟑:
— People talked about him. His name kept appearing in the news. His songs spread faster than our advertising campaigns ever could. He kept climbing higher and higher... so fast it almost felt like he knew he had less time left than everyone else.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟒:
— ...He was shining. And we were starting to lose to a guy with a guitar.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟓:
— And then our boss said...
Director: Remove the problem.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟔:
— For them, it was the easiest solution. Remove the competition... and soothe a wounded ego at the same time.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟕:
Detective: But you said there was someone else...
— Tiffany Roberts. She was always around him. Interviews. Concerts. Home. Family... everywhere. Constant presence. Constant witness. Constant extra pair of eyes.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟖:
— And we understood something: even if we managed to catch Roberts alone... even if we eliminated him... Tiffany — the person closest to him — would've unleashed hell. She wouldn't have stopped. She would've gone through every document. Every phone call. Every security recording... Until she found whoever did it.
The risk was too high. As long as Tiffany stayed beside Roberts, her very existence made the entire operation vulnerable.
So... she had to go first.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟗:
Detective: ...Keep talking.
— We spent a long time looking for options. An accident. A robbery. An attack. Anything. But everything looked too messy. Too suspicious.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟎:
— ...Then we found Christopher Mori. He'd been buying her paintings for years. Watching her. Writing to her. Saving every photo of her.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟏:
— He was... unstable. And in love.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟐:
— Then she gave that speech. She said she chose her family. Said her husband and children mattered more than anything else.
Tiffany: More than that, I traded a successful career for a family life with him. And I haven't regretted it for a single second.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟑:
— He broke. Completely. He took her words personally. Saw them as betrayal. As rejection. And... he snapped.
Started writing strange things. Getting angry. Blaming her.
And we... We just pushed someone who was already falling. Just a little. Barely anything at all.
We simply guided his fall.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟒:
— And that was enough.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟖:
— After her death, everything was ready for George too. The people were in place. The money was ready. Routes mapped out. Surveillance running.
But he... He disappeared.
📰 THE FESTIVAL: AFTERMATH REPORT
Bodies recovered. Corporate networks collapsing. Authorities uncover evidence suggesting coordinated elimination campaigns against George Roberts, Tiffany Roberts, and multiple independent public figures.
Twenty-three hours after federal operations began, the first body was pulled from the ruins.
Then another.
Then another.
And another.
Authorities have now confirmed that multiple corporate headquarters connected to the ongoing Roberts investigation have become active forensic sites.
Several directors and senior employees never made it out of the fires.
Some suffocated. Some died from severe burns.
Others were recovered beneath collapsed sections of office structures.
But investigators say the most disturbing discoveries were not the bodies themselves.
According to preliminary forensic reports, several deceased employees were found with partially burned folders still clenched in their hands.
Others were discovered near destroyed archive rooms.
One body was reportedly recovered beside melted storage drives and piles of carbonized documents.
A responder speaking anonymously said:
"People usually try to save themselves."
He reportedly paused before adding:
"These people died trying to save secrets."
Authorities now believe the operation responsible for exposing the assassination network did not begin recently.
Evidence suggests the collection process may have unfolded gradually across months — possibly years.
Investigators believe someone wasn't simply gathering evidence. Someone was building a system.
According to preliminary findings, data appears to have been collected, copied, cross-referenced, categorized and quietly preserved across multiple independent channels.
Investigators reportedly discovered timelines connecting executives to financial transfers, private meetings to communication records, anonymous accounts to real identities, and seemingly unrelated transactions to specific individuals.
Some records were allegedly linked through timestamps separated by years.
Others through shared devices, travel histories, overlapping contacts and repeating payment patterns.
Authorities believe someone systematically traced relationships between corporations, executives, media groups, contractors and third-party operators — building what one analyst described as:
"a living map."
Not a list.
Not a database.
A map.
A structure designed to show who talked to whom, who paid whom, who benefited, who gave orders... and who thought nobody was watching.
And whoever built it...
knew exactly where to look.
Recovered financial records allegedly contain references to external contracts tied to coordinated suppression campaigns targeting George Roberts and Tiffany Roberts.
However, investigators now believe Tiffany and George Roberts were never the only targets.
Authorities report discovering additional names buried within internal archives, payment records, encrypted correspondence and operational documentation.
Every name belonged to independent figures — people operating outside major structures and corporate control.
People building audiences on their own. People becoming visible. People becoming difficult to own.
Among the identified names:
— independent journalist Amelia Cross
— musician Daniel Voss
— documentary filmmaker Sarah Bennett
— political commentator Noah Reed
— visual artist Maya Holloway
— investigative reporter Lucas Ward
— singer-songwriter Eva Sinclair
— social activist Jordan Blake
— filmmaker Nathan Cole
— writer Lillian Hayes
— digital creator Ryan Mercer
— painter Sophia Vale
— independent actress Olivia Hart
— radio host Eric Dawson
— journalist Grace Turner
— environmental speaker Adrian Wells
— photographer Elena Brooks
— comedian Mason Carter
— author Victoria Ellis
— musician Julian Hayes
— documentary host Ethan Rivers
— artist Chloe Winters
— public speaker Aiden Ross
— investigative blogger Claire Morgan
— singer Leo Bennett
— activist Natalie Pierce
According to investigators, documents linked to these individuals contained repeated internal terminology:
"visibility reduction"
"reputation intervention"
"behavioral pressure"
"career destabilization"
"audience fragmentation"
"asset acquisition pathway"
"containment strategy"
"target elimination pathway"
Investigators stress that none of these individuals currently face allegations of wrongdoing.
Instead, authorities believe they may have been listed as future targets.
One investigator reportedly described the discovery as disturbing:
"This wasn't a list of enemies."
"It looked more like a queue."
Authorities are now attempting to determine whether some of the listed individuals were already under active observation without their knowledge.
Surviving executives continue denying involvement in the disappearance of George Roberts and his children.
According to leaked interrogation reports, several suspects reportedly suffered severe emotional breakdowns during questioning.
Some stopped answering entirely.
Some began hyperventilating.
Several reportedly collapsed into tears.
Others repeatedly attempted to explain themselves through panic, sobbing, and fragmented statements.
One suspect reportedly struck the interrogation table repeatedly while crying:
"We didn't get to him!"
Another was heard screaming:
"We swear to God — we never got to him!"
Investigators claim multiple testimonies began repeating nearly identical details despite suspects being questioned separately.
"Everything was already prepared... The money had already been transferred..."
"People were already in position... Routes were planned... Surveillance was active..."
"We were waiting..."
Then the statements began changing.
Not into denial.
Into confusion.
Into fear.
"Then he stopped showing up."
"Nobody could find him."
"After Tiffany's funeral... he just vanished."
"No cameras. No movement. No sightings."
One executive reportedly began shaking uncontrollably before saying:
"We thought somebody got there before us..."
Another:
"We thought another group took him."
Another:
"We thought someone eliminated him."
One reportedly broke down entirely:
"We thought he was dead already!"
Others repeatedly stated:
"The operation never happened."
"He disappeared before implementation."
"We thought someone else got to him first."
Authorities publicly state that these testimonies remain unverified.
📍 George Roberts and his children are now classified as: Victims / Witnesses — Active Protection Priority

📰 The article: THE FESTIVAL
A day of arrests, fire, collapsing empires — and the ghost of George Roberts
For nearly six months, the world had been holding its breath.
Ever since the disappearance of George Roberts and his children, society had transformed into something strange — something almost religious. People spoke his name in whispers. Old footage was replayed millions of times. Concert recordings became relics. Interviews were dissected frame by frame.
The man who once stood under stage lights had become something larger than himself.
A myth.
A tragedy.
A ghost.
A wound people kept touching.
And perhaps the cruelest part of all — guilt had slowly infected the public.
Many remembered the harassment. The ridicule. The campaigns. The mockery directed at George Roberts and Tiffany Roberts before her death. Entire communities were laughing, judging, attacking, sharing, reposting, participating.
Then Tiffany was murdered.
And then George disappeared.
And suddenly the world looked back.
People began asking themselves a question they hated: "What if we helped create this?"
One user wrote:
🗨️ "We treated this man like garbage and then acted shocked when he vanished."
That tension had been building for months.
Today, it exploded.
At approximately 9:40 pm, coordinated federal operations began across multiple cities simultaneously.
No warning. No statement. No preparation.
Just doors getting kicked in.
It rapidly became one of the largest coordinated arrest campaigns in recent history.
Authorities confirmed that arrests are not limited to executives, organizers, media figures, or corporate participants.
Everyone identified through photographs, archived recordings, digital activity, message histories, financial records, and online data, connected to organized harassment campaigns surrounding George and Tiffany Roberts, appears to be under investigation.
One social media post that reached over 9 million shares simply said:
🗨️ "Turns out 'I was just following the crowd' wasn't a legal defense."
Witnesses describe scenes resembling social collapse more than criminal procedure.
Police vehicles flooded streets in enormous numbers. Helicopters were seen circling above residential areas and business districts. Videos show people attempting to flee through alleys, parking lots, highways, and airports.
One witness livestreaming from her balcony could be heard screaming:
"Oh my god—OH MY GOD THEY'RE TAKING EVERYONE—"
"Bro what is happening?!"
Authorities have reportedly intercepted multiple attempts to leave the country.
Several suspects were detained while boarding private flights.
Others were arrested directly at airport security checkpoints. American airports are reportedly under heightened surveillance.
Traffic cameras have captured high-speed pursuits across several districts.
Multiple vehicle collisions have occurred during escape attempts.
Authorities confirm that while injuries have been reported, there are currently no confirmed fatalities.
Footage from one incident shows a man climbing out of a damaged vehicle screaming:
"I didn't even do anything!"
Comments immediately flooded underneath:
🗨️ "Bro said that while fleeing police"
Another:
🗨️ "This app is evil because why are people making memes during the apocalypse"
But perhaps the most disturbing collapse isn't happening on roads. It's happening inside homes.
The panic appears to be spreading beyond suspects themselves.
Families are collapsing.
Families of suspects appear to be distancing themselves almost immediately.
Across social media, videos continue to surface of spouses refusing assistance, siblings reporting relatives, parents publicly disowning children, and family members contacting authorities directly.
One recording captured a woman crying as federal agents escorted her husband away:
"My parents won't even answer me anymore..."
Another witness claimed hearing a father yell:
"Don't drag us into this!"
Legal analysts suggest many fear being perceived as accomplices.
Nobody wants to become the next target.
Nobody wants to be standing beside the wrong person when the dust settles.
People are abandoning each other. And they are doing it fast.
One of the most shocking arrests involves [Giselle Bonnibel] — a member of the wealthy and highly traditional Bonnibel family, known for preserving aristocratic customs, historic estates, strict etiquette, generations-old social practices, and an image often described publicly as "untouched by modern culture."
Authorities allege that Bonnibel played a significant role in initiating targeted harassment campaigns against Tiffany Roberts after expressing personal dislike toward Tiffany's artwork and behaviour.
Video of the arrest spread online within minutes.
In the footage, Bonnibel can be seen backing away with raised hands, visibly shaking:
"What?! Are you serious?! I didn't do anything! I just didn't like her paintings!"
One of the highest liked comments underneath:
🗨️ "Stupid bitch ruined lives over fan drama and thought she'd retire peacefully in a mansion."
Leah Evans and Leslie Roberts — the mothers of George and Tiffany — were also taken into custody under suspicion related to George Roberts' disappearance.
Investigators reportedly obtained an audio recording in which the two women discussed plans to take George Roberts to court and legally strip him of parental rights due to what they described as his "dysfunctionality" following Tiffany's death.
The recording has since spread across the internet at extraordinary speed.
Public reaction has been immediate.
🗨️ "What the hell. They talk about him like he's a broken appliance"
🗨️ "They sound like they wanted an instrument, not a son"
🗨️ "Not a son. Not a father. Not a grieving husband. Just a machine that stopped working."
Meanwhile, chaos was also unfolding inside multiple corporate headquarters connected to the broader investigation.
Witnesses reported seeing executives and employees running from buildings carrying boxes and document folders.
Security footage later leaked online showed people carrying stacks of archived files through hallways, dragging boxes into elevators, entering restricted storage rooms and server facilities.
At first, witnesses assumed they were evacuating.
They weren't.
They were destroying evidence.
One witness stated:
"I heard somebody screaming: 'Get rid of all of it!'"
Videos filmed from nearby buildings showed office windows glowing deep orange through the night as paper files, folders and storage containers disappeared into industrial shredders.
Workers reportedly carried armfuls of documents into underground archive rooms.
Others allegedly attempted to wipe company servers remotely.
Several individuals were reportedly caught feeding entire stacks of records into destruction systems while screaming at coworkers to "Move Faster!"
Helicopter footage showed black smoke spreading above city blocks while emergency vehicles surrounded buildings.
One reporter nearly lost track of her words during a live broadcast:
"Authorities are telling us to move back because— oh my God— OH MY GOD—"
Fire alarms started screaming. Smoke began pouring through ventilation systems.
Sprinklers exploded overhead.
People started running.
Phones hit the floor.
Laptops crashed onto stairs.
People started running.
And suddenly entire buildings were evacuating.
Multiple corporate headquarters across the country erupted into fires within hours.
Witnesses described scenes that looked almost unreal.
Employees flooded staircases. People shoved each other toward exits.
Some emerged covered in ash and soot.
Others ran outside still carrying partially burned boxes against their chests.
One video that accumulated over thirty million views showed a man stumbling out of a building holding charred folders while coughing violently and yelling:
"Get the rest of it out!"
Behind him, flames could already be seen spreading through upper floors.
Another clip showed office workers standing outside crying while watching black smoke consume entire sections of their headquarters.
One woman repeatedly screamed:
"The Servers are still inside!"
Another collapsed near police barriers:
"Oh my god— oh my god— They weren't supposed to burn that fast!"
Helicopter footage later captured several America skylines stained with rising smoke.
News channels struggled to keep up.
"Another fire has just been reported in Chicago—"
"Authorities are now evacuating a second building in Los Angeles—"
"People are actively fleeing the area in San Diego—"
"In New York, more than 10 fire trucks are on the way—"
"WAIT— WAIT— PEOPLE ARE RUNNING—"
The broadcast briefly descended into shouting.
Across social media, users immediately began spreading one terrifying theory:
People weren't trying to save themselves or company property.
They were trying to erase history.
While attempting to destroy the evidence... they destroyed everything around them too.
Videos showed people sobbing into phones.
Arguing. Begging.
Screaming.
Families of detained individuals began collapsing publicly.
Spouses denied involvement.
Children cried outside homes surrounded by cameras.
Entire social media accounts vanished overnight.
Meanwhile online, millions watched names continue appearing one after another.
More arrests. More photographs. More faces.
More lives collapsing.
Several videos showed emotional confrontations outside homes as reporters surrounded relatives demanding answers.
One person was filmed screaming at cameras:
"STOP FILMING MY FAMILY!"
Another cried:
"We didn't know. We didn't know anything."
The public has already given today a name:
The Festival.
At first, nobody knows who said it.
Some claim it appeared under a livestream. Others swear it started in a comment section. Someone insists it came from a woman laughing through tears outside a courthouse.
But within hours, everyone was calling it the same thing:
The Festival.
The Festival.
The Festival.
The doors burst open.
Police flooded American streets. Corporate headquarters caught fire across the country. Families turned on each other.
Names started appearing online. Then disappearing.
People ran.
People cried.
People burned evidence.
People sold out friends, coworkers, relatives.
And the internet watched it happen in real time.
A livestream comment with over 2.3 million likes simply read:
🗨️ "This isn't an investigation anymore. This is judgment day"
Outside one building, a witness was heard laughing hysterically while police cars sped past:
"This isn't a manhunt — this is a Festival!"
And the name stayed.
Because festivals are supposed to be celebrations.
This one was a celebration too.
One post currently sitting at over 27 million likes reads:
🗨️ "Six months ago they made George Roberts disappear."
🗨️ "Today reality remembered them."
Some call it justice. Some call it revenge.
Some call it collective punishment.
But across the internet, celebration continues.
Crowds gathering outside federal buildings. People cheering while watching arrests unfold.
🗨️ "George Roberts disappeared for six months and came back as karma itself"
A strange feeling hangs over all of it. Triumph mixed with horror.
Because somewhere beyond that chaos —
George Roberts and his children are still missing.
Leah: He wasn't in his right mind... He was traumatized!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐:
Leah: He wasn't sleeping. Wasn't eating. Wouldn't talk to anyone. He'd sit there holding Avery beside Tiffany's things and just... stay silent. Staring straight through people like a ZOMBIE!!! And we left three children with him...
Leslie: In that state, he shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near them. We should've acted fast and taken them immediately! But we missed our chance. And now, sweetheart... maybe we've lost those babies forever.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟑:
Barry: Ladies... um... excuse me for interrupting. I just... I don't know. I still think taking the children away from George would've been... unwise.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟒:
Leslie: ...
Barry: [quickly] I'm not saying everything was perfect, that's not what I mean. I just... the kids still need a father. That's all...
Leslie: A FATHER?! Then let's call him a dysfunctional FATHER, Barry.
Barry: Les, I just—
Leslie: No, go on. Please. Explain to me why a man who grabbed three children after his wife died, disappeared without a trace, and threw his entire family into tragedy... is a good father.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟓:
Barry: ...Well... if he managed to disappear with three kids, think everything through... hide from police, cameras, search teams, and the entire world... and still not leave behind a single trace... then he may not be so dysfunctional.
Leah: And you're seriously defending a man who, on top of everything else, took Holly away?!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟔:
Leah: He had absolutely no right to decide her life for her! Holly has a biological father now — a functioning, stable father who's actually present in her life. George should've handed over fatherhood to Aaron a long time ago! Sixteen years of playing house was enough already. You'd have to be unbelievably possessive to keep a girl away from her own father...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟕:
Aaron: Leave him the hell alone, you vultures!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟖:
Leah: Vultures...? W-what?..
Leslie: Aaron...
Aaron: No. Enough.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟗:
Aaron: Holly is mine by blood. But not by life. George raised her when he was still a helpless kid himself, for God's sake!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟎:
Aaron: He put her to bed. He taught her how to read. He stayed beside her when she got sick. He held her hand when she was scared. He protected her. He wiped her tears away. He raised her.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟏:
Aaron: He was her dad. Not me.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟐:
Aaron: And he had every right to take her away! Just like he had every right to take Yuki and Avery. Just like any father has the legal right to protect HIS CHILDREN!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟑:
Leah: Aaron, he was unstable!
Aaron: His wife died in his arms in front of their children.
Leah: Exactly!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟒:
Aaron: His wife died in his arms in front of their children!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟓:
Aaron: He didn't lose a toy. His career didn't collapse.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟔:
Aaron: The person he loved more than his own life died!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟕:
Aaron: And you're all sitting here right now, sneaking around discussing how to finish him off in court and take away his own children...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟖:
Leslie: "Take away"?! We wanted to protect them!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟏𝟗:
Adwin: From who? Their father??
Aaron: From the only person who kept breathing for them after Tiffany died?
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟎:
Leah: He betrayed all of us!
Aaron: No.
Leah: He abandoned his family!
Aaron: No.
Leah: He left all of us drowning in this grief!!
Aaron: No.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟏:
Aaron: You're not talking about betrayal right now.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟐:
Aaron: You're talking about a man you've all already collectively decided to break.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟑:
Leah: He's mentally unstable!
Aaron: He's grief-stricken!
Leah: That's the same thing!
Aaron: No.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟒:
Aaron: No, damn it, it is NOT the same thing!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟓:
Leah: I'm his mother! I know him better than anyone! And if I'd known this was how everything would end...
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟔.
Leah: I would've taken the children myself. I would've filed for custody! I would've become their mother, father — whatever they needed!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟕:
Leah: I would've done anything to keep them safe from him!
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟖:
Leah: ...Because he betrayed this entire family. He took the children and vanished like we stopped existing to him... Left us here to die with this grief.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟐𝟗:
Aaron: ...So he lost his wife.
𝗣𝗶𝗰 𝟑𝟎:
Aaron: And then he was supposed to lose his children too.
