Texting your sister the morning of the Fourth of July aft...

Conversation

1. Dad's chat is blowing up with an audio confessing theft.
2. I just got it, it sounds exactly like you.
3. It's viral—TikTok has a stitched version already.
4. I didn't—it's an AI deepfake, I swear.
5. It says amounts and dates only you knew.
6. Someone tagged Mason and Mom in the first share.
7. Wait—Mason was with Dad last night, right?
8. Yes, he left after the books, why?
9. Because the audio mentions 'ledger on the top shelf'.
10. I never said 'ledger' to anyone, that's private.
11. Then why does the audio say you confessed?
12. Also a DM from a private account claims receipt images.
13. Stop—who forwarded that DM into Dad's group?
14. I didn't forward; I just hit play and cried.
15. Someone added a caption: 'Mason stole from Dad.'
