Mikey could not comprehend the aftermath. He grunted and blinked at the silence. When no one looked at him anymore, he assumed they had forgotten. When no one spoke his name, he assumed they forgave him.
He genuinely believed he was part of the community. He thought Hax’s death was just part of some twisted bracket reset.
But no one forgave him. No one looked past it. They hated him for what he did—and for what he was.
And when even McDonald’s blocked him on Twitter, he finally noticed something was wrong.
He cried about it online. Loudly. Childishly.
“@McDonalds blocked me cuz i murdered hax >:( i luv da nuggets why u do dis :'( </3 ”
He didn’t get it.
He believed he would be welcomed back.
He didn’t understand.
He sat in the dark, rereading the words he had written. He thought maybe it was a joke they didn’t get. He thought maybe they were mad at him for something else.
He does not know what he did. He never will.
Mikey the Cheat still exists, somewhere in the margins. Bloated. Alone. Muttering to himself in a crusted-up booth at a 24-hour diner that no one enters anymore. Still wearing those torn dresses. Still smelling like mold and regret. Still wondering why no one wants him.
But the world moved on.
The scene moved on.
Hax became immortal.
And Mikey?
He rots.
Blocked.
Forever.
And that is all there is.
