Westmore, Haig District 32 – Westmore Newspaper Office
Charlie, a journalist at Westmore’s leading newspaper, sat frozen in his office, hands raised in alarm as an unexpected intruder barged in.
A gun was pointed at him.
Long blue hair, tied in a high ponytail, swayed behind a cold-faced woman who had stormed into his office.
“Who the hell are you? Th-There’s no one outside…!”
“There’s no one conscious outside,” she replied flatly. “I made sure of that.”
Right on cue, Jose and Amy entered the office, high-fiving each other. They had efficiently knocked out every employee inside the newspaper building.
Charlie, struggling to grasp the situation, swallowed nervously. Who were these people? What the hell was going on?
Vanilla, still aiming her gun at him, spoke in an eerily calm voice.
“You seem like the perfect person to make our plan a reality. You’re quite skilled at stirring up the public, aren’t you?”
Their goal was simple: to incite the citizens of Westmore.

Hearing Vanilla’s words, Charlie swallowed hard.
He was, in fact, a long-time Sinclair stalker.
From the Sinclair couple to Cherry herself, he had spent years obsessively chasing down any information on them.
Charlie specialized in tearing down Cherry Sinclair. And yet, even he had a principle when it came to his criticisms:
Stick to the facts.
Lately, however, the deliberate hit pieces he had been forced to publish under pressure from the Westmore elite were nothing short of blatant fabrications.
Yeah… If anyone’s going to drag Sinclair through the mud, it should be me.
He had already been growing resentful of Duke Lancaster’s interference. A leader who suppressed the press was the very definition of a dictator.
After some thought, Charlie cautiously spoke.
“I don’t know what your connection to Sinclair is, but if I do this for you, I have a request in return.”
“What request?”
“I want an interview with Cherry Sinclair.”
“You sound pretty confident that this newspaper office will still be standing by then,” Vanilla said, unimpressed.
“The interview isn’t for publication.”
“Then what’s it for?”
