Jenna has a better view of the next part; she’s positioned almost right in front of center stage.

Max- Since we’ve been fired, we can do whatever we want. (looking right at Jungwoo) Check the tabloids in a few hours and you’ll see what I mean.

Jungwoo, in Korean- What? What are you talking about?

Ari- (steps between Max and Jungwoo, murmuring something that makes them both scoff)

Kazu- (clears throat) Thank you again, Max. We can’t actually do whatever we want, but I’ll tell Hwannie how… helpful you’ve been.

Jesse-(snatches Jaehwan cutout out of Kei’s grasp and waves it in Max’s face)

Max- Wait, don’t —

Crowd- (laughing)

Jenna- The tabloids? What did he do now? Dad, high alert.

Jenna’s Dad- On it. This is exciting!

Jenna’s Boyfriend- There’s nothing on Facebook yet.

Jenna- Ian, a bunch of randos on Facebook never counts as a credible news source. Try theOmma Goshpeople.

Jenna’s Boyfriend, apparently named Ian- Shit, I forgot about them!

A posterboard sign blocks Jenna’s view. The video cuts out abruptly; when it resumes, Jenna is filming from a much higher vantage point because she’s sitting on Ian’s shoulders.

Ian, in the background- This is important to her! Your sign is ugly anyway!

Nick- We know you're all asking the same question: is Apollo disbanding? The answer is no.

Namgyu- Apollo is forever! Apollo and Sunshines ALWAYS!

Kei- Namgyu is right sometimes!

Crowd- (switches to ecstatic cheering, weeping, etc)

Jenna, Ian, and Dad- Oh, thank god!

Jungwoo- We’re lucky to have fans all over the world, and we want all Sunshines to hear this from us directly.

Here, the members take turns translating in different languages. Meanwhile, Vanessa is openly weeping in the background. Her friend has taken the phone and is recording for her. She’s a good friend so she zooms in on Kazu every time he speaks.

Kazu- We’ve had a crazy few days. We want to tell you everything, but there’s not enough time tonight. You’ll be hearing more about it soon. And by the way, Ari’s the reason we made it through.

Namgyu- (in Korean) He talked so much again, haha! Need to find a charging cable! (in English) Our brother is very tired!

Ari Fan- OPPA YOU CAN COME SLEEP AT MY HOUSE!

Ari- (nervous laughter) Ah, man. I don’t even know where to start with this. Thank you to everyone who caught our video and listened to what we had to say. All of it was true.

Additional Ari Fan- Ari! Why was it posted by Emma Han?

Crowd- (general chatter because they just remembered the livestream came from Emma’s account)

Vanessa- (sniffling) Okay I have swerved into Ari’s lane like twice in my life and I do want to know the answer to that question.

Vanessa’s Friend- It was that damnTricksterMV.
