Chapter 6
Kyle Everett hates Eve Olsen.
Like, really fucking hates her.
He can’t explain it. He doesn’t need to explain it. Most people just get it, you know? She just has one of those faces. You just know she was a teacher’s pet in high school. Just another rich fucking nepo baby whose daddy bought her way into the business.
Kyle’s favorite thing about Eve Olsen is that he’s found community on Reddit in shared hatred of Eve Olsen.
He’s been dabbling with AI, and he has this funny idea to make a deepfake interview where Eve keeps insisting she hates poor people.
Kyle gets more Reddit karma for this video than he’s ever got for anything, and he’s been on Reddit for fifteen years.
While it’s true that some of the commenters seem to believe this video is real, Kyle only finds this more hysterical.
If it gets spliced up and distributed throughout other corners of the internet, so be it.
Maybe Eve should have done a better job of not seeming like the kind of girl who might hate poor people.
And then Kyle looks at his bank account, which has enough for negative two rainy days, and he thinks that in a fair world, you could spend Reddit karma on gas, or car insurance, or fucking groceries.
Kyle is aware that there are richer people out there than Eve Olsen, but the really rich people are invisible, untouchable, and sometimes it’s just so exhausting to be a person on this planet.
Of course it’s not fair. How do you expect Kyle to fix it?
