The 2-chan message board erupted minutes after the news of Hiro’s murder was released.

Fuck! U guys hear about Hiro?

NAME: ANONYMOUS356

Can’t believe it.

The Android Boy is dead. Fucking bastard American marine broke into their house. Shot the princess’s parents as well as Hiro.

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

U seen the stuff on Reddit? Marine was one of those religious freaks. Like the dude who tried to shoot the kid in the US.

NAME: ANONYMOUS885

Orz was there. Orz and the princess found the body. I’m cryin inside for Orz. U see the pictures of him? He was fighting to get to the Princess while the cops were tryin to keep him away.

I was cheering him on.

NAME: ANONYMOUS987

We all were, dude. So happy they got away in the end. Go Orz!

NAME: ANONYMOUS899

The princess isn’t as hot as I thought she’d be. Orz looks like a typical otaku, just like I imagined him.

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

That’s cold. Fuck u 899.

NAME: ANONYMOUS555

Where do u think Orz and the princess have gone? Cops will want to talk to them.

NAME: ANONYMOUS6543

You think Orz is ok?

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

Don’t be such a fucking noob 6543! Of course he’s not ok!!!!

[Much speculation followed about what this could mean for Orz and the princess’s future. Then, three hours later, Ryu appeared on the board.]

Hi guys.

NAME: ANONYMOUS111

Orz??? That really u?

NAME: ORZ MAN

It’s me.

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

Orz, u ok? How is the princess? Where are u?

NAME: ORZ MAN

I don’t have long. The princess is waiting for me.

I showed her yr messages and she says it doesn’t matter now that u know who we really are. She says that u should never forget what they did.

She is broken.

I am broken.

But wanted to say thanx for giving us all that support.

This isn’t easy…

Wanted to let u know that u won’t hear from me again.

We’re going to be together forever going somewhere where they can’t hurt us any more.

I wish I could meet every one of u. Wouldn’t have had the balls to leave my room without all yr encouragement.

Goodbye.

Your friend, Ryu (aka Orz Man)

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

Orz??????

NAME: ANONYMOUS288

Orz!!!! Come back, man.

NAME: ANONYMOUS90

He’s gone.

NAME: ANONYMOUS111

Netizens, this isn’t good. That sounded like a suicide note to me.

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

Orz would never do something like that… would he?

NAME: ANONYMOUS57890

If u think about it, if Orz and the princess hadn’t been out together that night then the marine might have shot her too.

NAME: ANONYMOUS896

Orz saved her life.

NAME: ANONYMOUS235

Yeah. And if 111 is right, they’re going to kill themselves together. A suicide pact.

NAME: ANONYMOUS7689

There’s no proof this is what they’re gonna do.

NAME: ANONYMOUS111

Those US fuckers. They were behind this. They murdered Hiro and destroyed Orz’s happiness. They can’t be allowed to get away with it.

NAME: ANONYMOUS23

Agreed. Orz is one of us. They need to pay.

NAME: ANONYMOUS111

Netizens, for once in yr lives it’s time to do something that counts.
