Capítulo 2: The Truth behind the news

Hino woke up with a massive hangover, feeling terrible and sick to his stomach. As he went to the bathroom to throw up, he began to recall the events of the previous day, trying to piece together what happened. But, the events were still a blur. He knew he had been drinking heavily, and that he had been trying to research some conspiracies late into the night. But he couldn't remember much else.

Hino felt terrible, and he decided that he needed to get himself together. He stumbled to the kitchen and realized that he needed some coffee.

Hino slowly made his way to the kitchen, his hangover still pounding in his head. He grabbed an empty mug and decided to make some coffee. As he began to brew the coffee, he noticed that his hands were still a bit shaky. After pouring himself a cup of coffee, he drank it slowly and tried to collect his thoughts. He knew he had to get his life back on track and stop these conspiracies. But for now, he just wanted to take it easy and allow his mind and his body to recover from the previous night's debauchery.

Shizuru was walking down the hallway towards her office when she was handed a document by a friend. She read through it and noticed it was a report on the burning of the Malaya Cathedral and Storage Building. She found it strange that the building had mysteriously burnt down, and she wondered if there really was some kind of cover-up going on.

Shizuru's friend was clearly suggesting that there might be some connection between the burning of the Malaya Cathedral and Storage Building and the embezzlement at the Malaya Customs Office. It was also mentioned that there were reports of secret documents being destroyed during the fire, which could point towards a cover-up.

It would definitely be worth investigating the situation further and trying to uncover the truth behind the fire. But for now, Shizuru's friend had given her a script to report on the event, and she decided to focus on that first and then maybe look into the underlying causes of the fire later.

As Shizuru walked into the studio, she noticed that it was an open planned space with lots of lights and cameras. She was greeted by the sound engineer who helped her put on her makeup and make sure that she looked her best for the broadcast. Once she was ready, the engineer escorted her to the news set, which was a well-lit space with a sofa and some props. The director was there to give her the rundown of the broadcast and to give her his feedback on her performance.

As she continued to report the news, she felt more confident and assured that she was doing a great job.

"Good evening, I'm Shizuru Saito reporting for the evening news, we have just heard that a mysterious fire broke out at the Malaya Cathedral Storage Building. Authorities suspect that the fire may have started due to faulty wiring or a broken electrical appliance. However, there are reports that secret documents were destroyed in the fire, leading some to speculate that there might be more to the story than what has been reported thus far.

I'm just reporting the news as we have it right now, and authorities are expected to provide more information as the investigations progress. We will keep you updated in the coming days."

As Shizuru continued to investigate the burning of the cathedral and the storage building, she started to notice the lack of awareness and media coverage about the incident in her country. She wondered why the Philippine people were not aware of it and why the US news media had been the first to report on it.

She wondered why the Philippine media had chosen to ignore the story. What was the real reason behind the lack of awareness and media coverage?

"Why are the Philippine people not aware of this? Why was the US news media the first to report on it? Why did the Philippine media choose to ignore the story? What was the real reason behind the lack of awareness and media coverage?"

Shizuru decided to take a break from searching for the truth and went for a ramen. As she sat down at the ramen shop, she noticed that the TV was reporting on her story. It was exciting to see herself on the news.

After she finished enjoying her ramen, she decided to watch the news at home. But when she turned on the TV, the news had disappeared. When she tried to switch the channel, there was no news channel. It was like the news had never existed in the first place.

She mumbled quietly to herself, "I wasted my time reporting on a story that flopped and was forgotten. What a waste of time and effort. I should have done something else instead,"

As she opened her social media and saw the theories her husband had been sharing, In her husband's theory, he had mentioned that it was unusual for the government to be reporting on the events instead of the news sources. She felt like he was making a valid point, and she couldn't understand why the news media didn't cover the story. She was starting to wonder if there was a cover-up happening. she felt a mix of frustration and fury.

"Owhhh hino!~ It always you!~ why can't you keep your conspiracies to yourself!~"

Shizuru's friend had called her and asked her to do a favor. They wanted her to report on her ex-husband's conspiracy theory in the news, as they believed it would draw public attention.

But Shizuru didn't want to do that, she didn't want her personal life to be spread to the public, especially something as dramatic as her ex-husband's conspiracy theories.

Friend: (phone call) "Shizuru, we saw your ex-husband's conspiracy, we want you to report it tomorrow, it will draw public attention".

Shizuru: (phone call) "Why not those two actors and actresses instead, that haven't come up in public about their marriage, that's your content. NOT ME."

Shizuru was frustrated with her friends and refused to become part of their "content"

Friend: (phone call) C'mon, let's do it, it's all about you, we know it!Shizuru: (phone call) Oh, yeah, right, it's all about me, but it's about your views and likes. That's what you want it to be. You don't care about what I want, only what will make you popular.

Friend: (phone call) I can't believe you're this selfish, you're just being stubborn, it's good for your career anyways!

Friend: (phone call/final call) So what, you're just going to sit there and not report on it? Is it because you know it's true and don't want to admit it? It's all over social media and the news networks don't seem to be covering it.

Shizuru: (phone call/final call) And if I report on it, what if it's not true? We don't know who the source of these conspiracy theories is and we don't know if they are even right. I am not going to risk my reputation reporting on something that might be false.

Friend: You know what, I don't care, you do you. I'll just go ahead and report it myself, since you're too chicken to do so.

Shizuru: Fine, report whatever you want. I'll not be a part of it. You do your thing and I'll do mine. Goodbye.

After a long day and a tiring phone call, Shizuru eats her dinner and tidies up herself before going to sleep. She starts to apply a skincare routine to take care of her skin. She also makes sure to drink a glass of water before going to bed.
