The flip hit the screen with a thud that echoed through the entire forum:
Devon – VANILLA TOWN – Eliminated Day 2..
A collective gasp.
A few victory gloaters froze mid-celebration.
Someone typed, “Well… that’s unfortunate.”
A single tumbleweed emoji rolled through the carnage.
f*ck, how could we have been so wrong?
“Some of you voted with fear.
Some with frustration.
Some with calculation.”
A quiet laugh, small, knowing.
“And a few of you…
voted with knowledge.”
The lanterns flicker.
