ZDF987 couldn't tell if the heroes were in a good relationship or had a good thought about Irina; all he had were a few guesses.
ZDF987: *I guess that's something that only the future will tell... I haven't heard from either of them recently.*
Well, the Envoy even looked up recent news about the two on their official profiles, but they were almost completely gone and there were no recent updates.
Which was just too strange when you took into account that 'Unbreakable' was now in the midst of its campaign towards better plot and publicity related to the protagonists was essential.
The story needed to be promoted, and the public constantly reminded for its breathtaking plot.
ZDF987 knew that there were two possibilities to explain such a thing: the protagonists either loved or hated each other. But he believed that if it was really love, there would be more news about those two. After all, people in love tend to show their good feelings, and that silence demonstrated a certain indifference and even revulsion.
It was also not surprising if they ended the story as lovers or good colleagues, but there was no connection between the two at the end of 'Unbreakable'.
So all he could do was believe that there was definitely hate.
Even if many feelings were truly lived, the systems and plots could not control the hearts of its protagonists; they were people with real lives, and it wasn't really difficult to hate each other.
But it was a sad era to discover that maybe that beautiful couple had turned to dust.
They were so beautiful together.
Irina listened intently as she dried her hair and couldn't do much more than simply sigh. "I shall meet them at the awards ceremony, and then we will find out about this matter."
After a long hygiene and beauty ritual, Irina was refreshed and could finally leave that prison.
The place was already prepared to receive those people who were in the midst of those System Plots, so to avoid major problems, these people were isolated and did not mix with other detainees.
Avoid confusion; really dangerous people lived there.
Irina immersed herself body and soul in that story, and unlike what normally happened, she lived directly with other prisoners.
So she had even made a few friends; it was undeniable how there were so many people paying for the rest of their lives after a youthful or impulsive mistake.
The prison director was a great ally in this regard and was the one who ensured Irina's safety and well-being even when she was acting within the villain script.
After saying goodbye to all those people she had lived with for so long, Irina was ready to go home, and even a car was waiting for her in front of the high-security prison.
Of course, along with that, there were also many of those who loved Irina's dedication to 'Unbreakable' and religiously followed her on daily plot broadcasts.
She now had very loyal fans.
Besides, along with all that attention, there were also a lot of reporters interested in what the woman had to say.
'Unbreakable,' like all System Plots, was a very popular subject and a hot topic for anyone.
Irina left the prison accompanied by several prison guards, and many other private security guards were divided to ensure the safety of the woman.
Flashes appeared everywhere, in addition to passionate and euphoric screams.
Flashes appeared everywhere, accompanied by passionate and euphoric screams. Irina could feel her heart skipping a few beats. It was really exciting, an emotion she had never experienced before, and it was quite satisfying. Her face felt warm as she navigated through the crowd, finally stopping next to the car that was waiting for her. She waved to the crowd, saying, "Take good care of your health, the weather has been getting colder lately... Also, thank you so much for all your support and be sure to continue supporting 'Unbreakable' and its characters... Emil and Bella deserve a lot of love."
"Could you answer a few questions?" a journalist asked as Irina was about to get into the car.
Irina sighed tiredly, part of her wanting to deny the request, but feeling guilty for ignoring the journalists. She nodded and said, "Ok, I will answer three questions."
The journalist asked, "Did you have visitors during your time in prison?"
Irina replied, "No, I didn't really have visitors. I believe my character didn't deserve mercy, and loneliness was a valid punishment. Also, people related to me outside of 'Unbreakable' were previously warned to keep their distance. It seemed for the best in the world. My point of view regarding the plot."
The journalists seemed satisfied with the answer, and others eagerly clapped their hands, hoping to have their questions answered.
Irina picked another journalist at random, who asked, "'Unbreakable' is considered a strong favorite for Best Story of the year. Do you have any thoughts on the story's popularity?"
Irina nodded, acknowledging the story's popularity. "I believe the dedication to making the story the best in every way is what makes it so popular. We knew the risks in making the story highly rated. It's not a romance; it's a revenge story. Fortunately, good people were rewarded, and those who were bad were punished. So, I guess that's what makes it so popular. In addition to Best Plot, I think we have a strong contender in the Best Heroine category. Everyone must have been blown away by Bella's brilliance, right?!"
The journalists were amused by Irina's relaxed manner and nodded in agreement.
Finally, the last journalist asked, "Bella and Emil haven't appeared together since the end of 'Unbreakable,' and the broadcast was cut way ahead of schedule. Yet, you remained detained in prison following all the programming for your character. That doesn't seem fair. Are you promoting the plot yourself while others are enjoying their freedoms?!"
ZDF987 heard the question and agreed that it seemed unfair. Irina, however, remained calm, acknowledging it as a problem she had prepared herself for. "Like you said, I was stuck following the schedule of 'Unbreakable.' I can't say anything for others, but I believe if there was such a thing, there must be real reasons. I don't feel wronged. They are real people with real problems, so be patient and do not make unfounded assumptions."
As Irina finished speaking, her personal assistant, Dominica Hansen, appeared by her side, ensuring that the reporters kept their distance and that Irina could settle comfortably in the car. A path guided by security guards was created, and the car finally left the prison parking lot.
Dominica smiled gently, and Irina nodded gratefully. "Welcome back, Miss Cerdic," Dominica said.
"It's good to be back... Update me on everything, Dominica," Irina replied.
