She casually browsed through several forums; posts about Aurora had already been removed, replaced by newer ones. Overnight, the discussion had exploded to tens of thousands of comments, detailing even which elementary school she attended, yet her contact information was conspicuously absent.

"I know her too. Back in middle school, she was already off. She'd mess around with boys in the woods; I saw it happen several times."

"Tsk, isn't this my ex? She cheated on me when we were together. I'm not surprised to hear she's still the same, honestly, hearing she's the other woman doesn't shock me."

"I still have a lot of her old photos, DM me if you want them."

"Slut! Home-wrecker!!"
