Carson glanced at her coolly before opening a browser on his laptop and swiveling the screen her way.
Marina stood, swiping through the page, her breath catching at the content.
Twitter was blowing up with fans shipping Nocturne and Ashen. They had even dug up an old, pixelated group photo from her school days. Her face was slightly blurry, but that didn't stop the fans from raving.
"Turns out Ashen is drop-dead gorgeous! Look at that bone structure!"
"I heard Nocturne is super hot, too. They're so perfect for each other. Both so talented—I totally ship this!"
"Their art styles blend seamlessly. They have to be dating! Yev and Lou from the manga are definitely based on them!"
"This is the best! I'm officially a die-hard shipper of Ashen and Nocturne starting today!"
"Same! I can't wait for them to make it official!"
"That would break the internet in the comic community. We should get wedding gifts ready!"
...
Marina frowned as she read the comments. She knew fans shipped the fictional characters, but this wild speculation about her and Nocturne was out of nowhere. Without any proof, they were just declaring them a real-life couple.
She looked at Carson. "The internet runs on baseless gossip. I can't control what they say, and it's not even true. The rumors will die down on their own in time."
"But I'm not happy about it," Carson countered, raising a brow. "I own the site now. If something displeases me, I make it disappear."
Marina swallowed her rising temper, trying to reason with him. "I'll try to get someone to moderate the comments, but please don't interfere with this project. I've already quit. If Nocturne walks away too, this manga is dead in the water!"
