Chapter 20:

What happened to the editor?

The Shiruka Collection


"Mr. Eddie Toro, you have been found guilty of various labor violations, and also face charges of potential involuntary manslaughter," the judge stated.

"NO! I broke no laws!" the editor pleaded.

"You admitted on national television that you overworked Nobuto "Shiruka" Shiragiku. That could be why he chose to kill Riho Amanuma and himself."

"BULLSHIT! THAT BASTARD HATED ME! SO WHY WOULD HE KILL HIMSELF JUST TO-"

"It's not out of the realm of possibility for that man. Even if you can successfully appeal the involuntary manslaughter charge, you're still doing jail time for the labor violations."

                                                                          ...

The editor gnarled his teeth as the door to his cell slammed shut.

"Hey Eddie! Why are you here?" Luigi asked.

"Because that shit Shiragiku killed himself to get me thrown in jail," the editor replied.

"Oh, well there goes all the anger, resentment, and motivation I had for escaping. Guess I'll stop digging the tunnel."

"Wait, where's the tunnel!?"

"In cyberspace. I snuck a Virtual guy VR headset in."

"Fuck you Luigi."
