Fireworks4Issy: When will he give an interview already?

IssyGirl_23: He won’t. He has said he’ll never do it.

Faith: Eden, talk to us. We are outside your door.

Manuela: It’s ok if you don’t want to open the door or see us, En. If you want to just text, we’re here.

Eden: I… I published it under a pen name, as usual.

Faith: Which you won’t tell us.

Eden: Oh, you will find out soon enough.

Eden: I posted it online, as I always do.

Eden: But this one… it kind of went viral—and with it, my poetry website.

Eden: I mean, I took it down once I realized, but it was too late. Several of my poems have been shared several times over.

Eden: Long story short…
