"Alright, it's getting late. I'm logging off."
Faced with a barrage of questions from his fans, Ren abruptly ended his live stream, leaving countless viewers to speculate wildly.
As soon as Ren's stream ended, the content from the live stream exploded across the internet. Terms like "Bullheaded plot," "Porter's year of the red underwear," "Ultraman Dyna," and "Porter's fashion show" spread like wildfire across social media and online forums.
Once again, Ren became a hot topic online, stealing the spotlight and thwarting a certain singer's bid for the trending headlines.
In the "Porter Anime Fans Group," fans used their free moments during work breaks or while pretending to study to chat nonstop. Most of the conversation revolved around last night's live stream.
"Oh man, Ultraman Dyna sounds like a great name! But, now that I think about it, Tiga in Ultraman Tiga means 'three' in Indonesian, and Nexus in Ultraman Nexus means 'bond.' What does Dyna mean?"
"You're saying it's a great name, but you don't even know the meaning? I don't know either, though."
"No worries, my uncle's friend's son works at Goyuan Productions. He said it stands for 'Dyna.'"
"Dyna? What's that? If you drop the 'Y,' it sounds like DNA… and I know what that is: deoxyribonucleic acid!"
"It's taken from 'Dynamic,' meaning 'full of energy.'"
"Oh, so that's what it means."
"Wait, wait, is this really the time to be discussing the meaning behind Ultraman names?"
"Then what should we be talking about? Porter's red underwear? Speaking of which, this year is Porter's 'Year of Fate,' isn't it? Should we send him something?"
"True, as much as he trolls us, we should send him something for his zodiac year. It only happens once every twelve years."
"Let's send him some razor blades! Remember when he proudly showed off that tower he built with the ones we sent him before?"
Once Ren's red underwear became a topic, the conversation in the Porter Fans Group quickly derailed. But this wasn't unusual—after all, fans in the group could talk about anything, and it was all just for fun.
After a while, the discussion finally shifted back to the main topic: Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel.
Last night's teaser left many FSN fans completely bewildered.
Why was Shinji on top of Sakura?
Did Shinji actually succeed in doing something awful?
Was Porter really going to include such a disturbing plot twist?
Many fans wanted to drag Porter out and give him a good thrashing.
"Surely Porter wouldn't do this, right? From the previous storylines, it's obvious that Sakura is the main heroine, and Shirou is the protagonist."
"You can't be too sure. Porter has done all kinds of crazy stuff. If he can kill off main characters, what's stopping him from pulling off a bullheaded plot twist?"
"NO BULLHEADS ALLOWED!!"
"If Porter pulls this off, I'm cursing him!"
"Bullhead? I'm thrilled!"
"Uh… that's a weird taste, buddy."
And so, instead of discussing Ultraman Dyna, fans were now fixated on the possible "bullheaded" plot twist in FSN.
After all, there weren't many updates about Dyna during the stream, but FSN's potential plot twist had thrown fans into chaos.
"Ren, aren't you going to bed yet?"
Jada walked over to him, dressed in a silky nightgown. Despite having two kids, her figure remained stunning. Her hair, usually tied up during the day, flowed freely, and her smooth skin made her look as youthful as ever.
"Are you reading comments again?"
She gently rested her hand on Ren's shoulder, leaning against him, allowing him to feel her softness against his back.
"I really don't get why you enjoy writing these kinds of stories," Jada remarked, shaking her head as she glanced at the online discussions about the bullheaded plot twist. "Why do all your female characters suffer so much? And it always seems to happen in the Type-Moon universe. First, it was Akiha in Kara no Kyoukai, and now it's Sakura in FSN."
She gave Ren a thoughtful look. "Akiha wasn't the main character, but Sakura is the heroine of this story. Aren't you afraid of fan backlash?"
Ren took Jada's hand, which rested on his shoulder, and brought it to his face, rubbing it gently. "Well, you know, I'm the 'Warrior of Love' after all!" he joked.
With that, he shut down his computer and suddenly stood up, sweeping Jada into his arms.
"Ah!" Jada gasped, quickly wrapping her arms around his neck, playfully hitting his chest. "Are you trying to drop me or something?"
"I'd never drop you." Ren grinned. "I just want to spoil you a little."
He carried her toward their bed, using all his strength to toss her onto the mattress.
"Careful!" Jada exclaimed in surprise as she landed on the bed. She was about to scold Ren when her voice trailed off, replaced by concern. "Wait, what's wrong?"
Jada looked at Ren, who was now on the floor, grimacing in pain. He was curled up in the classic 'orz' position, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"What happened?" she asked, panic filling her voice as she quickly got off the bed. "Ren, are you okay? Don't scare me!"
Ren's face twisted in agony as he stammered, "My… my back… I threw out my back."
The sudden wave of pain caused him to pause before he weakly added, "Call… call an ambulance… I don't think I can hold on much longer."
Hearing this, Jada quickly grabbed her phone, her hands trembling as she dialed for emergency help.
"Hello? 120? My husband threw out his back… He's in a lot of pain! Please send help right away! Yes, my address is…"
Jada's voice was so loud that it woke up the baby, who started crying. This commotion brought Yueyue out of her room. Opening the door, she looked at her dad in confusion. "Daddy, what's wrong?"
Seeing her father in pain, Yueyue panicked and ran to his side, shaking him lightly. "Daddy!!"
"Ahh!!" Ren cried out in agony, his face contorted in pain. "Don't shake me! It hurts!!"
"Oh…" Yueyue quickly stopped.
The next day, news of Porter's hospitalization spread online.
While many fans sent their well-wishes, there were still plenty who found humor in the situation.
"He deserved it! Who told him to write that bullheaded plotline?"
"Exactly!"
