Conversation

1. Maya, open TikTok right now.
2. What? I'm moving boxes, not TikTok.
3. There's a clip trending with you.
4. No. Send the link.
5. DM'd it — it's edited, but people think it's real.
6. That's impossible — it's AI, right?
7. It's all over campus group chats.
8. Comments keep tagging Carter.
9. Don't tag him, he already called me ten times.
10. He texted me demanding we delete videos.
11. He wants money?
12. I... hired someone to fake it.
13. Wait, you paid for a fake sex tape?
14. Why would you do that?
15. To scare Carter away; he's been controlling.
16. You didn't tell Mom or me.
17. I thought it'd stop him, not blow up like this.
18. Who did you pay? Some random online guy?
19. A guy from an ad; claimed he'd AI it and delete.
20. So someone has copies now?
21. Carter says the guy forwarded him proof.
22. Proof of what exactly?
23. Invoices and timestamps showing I paid.
24. He wants a cut of the money?
25. Carter's demanding payment or he'll expose more.
26. We can get cybercrime involved.
27. I can't call police; I'd confess I created it.
28. You're scared of consequences — I get that.
29. I'm also terrified Carter will tell Dad everything.
30. What could Carter possibly tell Dad?
