Poor Zoey.
- Zoey: Taylor’s name is written in green on this ballot. There’s only one student in our class who writes with a green pen…!
- Zoey: Michelle… voted for Taylor……
- Zoey: … I may as well just lie down and die.

Called it!
Now, as a next prediction, Larisa walks in?

You only predicted that she’d recognize the handwriting of _someone_. Would have been even better if you named Michelle explicitly.
But your prediction of Larisa walking in is spot-on.
Wait is this the part where I have to start deleting character files because the psycho ai is taking over the dating game and messing with everyones emotions?
Wow. The detective work was correct! Congratulations to everyone involved. 🙂
Larissa walking in – uh. I’m curious what’ll happen!

She has to lie there for an entire weekend first, though.
@ MidoriLuna:
Nah. . . . But just in case don’t give her a knife.
Nice art on this one.
:,( Poor Zoey. Her heart seems to keep finding new ways to break.
A school election is obviously not the end of the world or such a big deal, but being rejected now even on a trust and friendship level is going to hurt for a long time.

This is why the process is anonymous.
Larissa was my first thought as well, because she has a strong mind about important principles – friendship and loyalty perhaps first among them – and she is the only one who know Zoey’s secret. Don’t forget that her “fake news” were extremely innocent considering what she knew. This arch is more and more interesting.
Wait! Novil confirms that it will be Larissa… If so, isn’t this the first time Novil confirms a prediction about what we will see next? 🙂 Novil, I think you are playing a game with us… That’s my prediction! 🙂
I have a feeling Zoey will find out that Michelle let someone else borrow her pen or something like that.
This isn’t just on Top 10 Anime Betrayals, it’s number 1!

… Why is “Top 10 Anime” in the title?

It’s a meme. There are bajillions of youtube videos titled “top ten anime X” where X is “heroes” or “villains” or “explosions” or “love affairs” or “giant robots” or pretty much anything from anime series, where the video’s author uses clips from different anime to display their opinion of what the top ten of that thing is from all of anime. At some point people just started using the “top ten anime… whatevers” as a phrase in and of itself even outside of reference to those videos. And “top ten anime betrayals” is a very popular one of those memes to hear around certain corners of the internet.
Larissa walks in
Larissa: “You do realize that I swapped pens with Michelle the day of the vote…”
Zoey: “You bu****le!”
Zoey lunges at Larissa
Larissa lights the room on fire
Xoey: “What have you done?!?!”
Larissa: “I did what I had to.”
Larissa Falcon Punches Zoey off the roof
Zoey: *SPLUD*
@ Meagan Fieldmich:
I… Wh… I just.. Whaat.
This is what happens when you go too far down the rabbit hole.
If i had guess how this could turn around, i’d say Larissa might pointed out how little free time Zoey would have if she won. Though the borrowed pen seems alot simpler.
Well I suppose what I said is kinda reverse… She didn’t dump her, but she feels dumped instead…
Careful Zoey.
Keep going in this direction and you risk discovering the true purpose of aglets and the secret of the thirty second flavor.
@ oledakaajel:
It’s really not dissuading me from my Magical Girl Taylor theory.
Well. I did call it 😉
You could say this is kind of karmic based on how Zoey usually acts, but these low points seem Reaally harsh for a middle-school bully. It’s no small wonder she behaves the way she does because she keeps getting messed up moments like these thrown back at her. Just a cruel loop.
Ouch.
Zoey: *As Quiet’s theme plays* “Why am I still here? Just to suffer?”
That’s politics for you, Zoe.
You know what this reminds me of? 😀
“What?! One vote! Silver Spoon! You didn’t vote for me?!!”
“No, I didn’t.”
“…but you’re my best friend!”
“Am I? ‘Cause I tried to help by mentioning your surprise statue, and suddenly I wasn’t even allowed to speak! You could have actually won this election if you just listened to me. You wanna know how? Sorry. I’m not allowed to speak.”
…
“What? I don’t have to follow her drum any more.”
And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very mad world, mad world
Told you to let it go, Zoey. Now who’s feeling more shitty and betrayed right now?
This is both hilarious and deeply tragic, for the same reasons.
I think most of us know just how deeply we felt our first crush, but how shallow many of them seem now that we’re adults.
But, Zoey, the saying “lie down and die” is only an expression. Lying down doesn’t automatically make you die. 😉
Larisa will talk some sense into her… we hope.
@ CopperPenguin20:
Maybe, but I’d expect Zoe to recognize Michelle’s handwriting, and notice if it were different.
Yeah, if this was indeed an anime, I’d be 100% convinced this is building up to Michelle gently raping Zoey. No, when I say “gently raping”, I mean it. Rapey situations are the reason I drop 90% of fujoshi shit.
The worst part about this is, that she can’t even say anything to Michelle without sounding like a total psycho.

Been nice knowing her.

No sympathy here.
Zoey spends her free time emotionally abusing others, now she discovers her fellow emotional abuser isn’t a total lapdog. Am I supposed to feel anything but a mild satisfaction that Zoey is getting a small degree of the suffering she inflicted on others? And only a small degree at that because this wasn’t a deliberate attack like Zoey and Michelle delight in inflicting on others.
Nope. Let her wallow in self-absorbed angst. Maybe others will have a nicer school experience while she’s having her pity-party.

That Gaia reference tho…

Spoilers!
((((((((((((((((((((((Zoey))))))))))))))))))))))))
and thus why some people should never ask “who’d you vote for”
Voting should always be a private matter…which is why im always so belligerent with Political callers.
@ Mechwarrior:
Was that a Question reference?
Kono Michelle DA! (/cue-Yes-Roundabout)
@ Mysterious Dark Lord v3.2:
Where did you get that information from? She is supposed to be popular and nothing indicated that she has the intimidation needed to rule with fear.
Anyway, I wonder what the reason is for Michelle to vote Taylor. This is actually something Larisa could have manipulated her to, but I think it’s more likely she figured out a reason herself.
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
it all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
in my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I’ve lost everything
everything, everything
that matters to me,
matters in this world
Even if Michelle didn’t vote for her, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t like her, just that she thinks someone else would be a better class president. Also being President (ought to) be a time consuming public service position. Maybe Michelle didn’t want to share her best friend with everyone else?

That would certainly be my take on things.
That was sad. Until I saw the title.
God damn it, Novil.

I think you are a little harsh on Zoey there. She may be Kind of haughty bitch, but she is more than a stereotypical school bully and has her vulnerable spots, too. Michelle is not just her “fellow emotional abuser” and certainly not her lapdog, she is a longtime friend and Zoey is a closet lesbian and has a secret crush on her, in case you don’t remember that old story arc. The whole thing about the election so far was deliberately ridiculous overacting on all parts, but finding out that your most trusted friend (and secret crush) backstabbed you in a matter she knew was really important to you, that’s really a harsh blow. Also, to put that bullying into perspective, Larissa can be quite a bully sometimes, too.

Don’t worry. After she’s banned for life, she gets better.
Then her heart gives out. It’s an old, sad, story.
Also, she’s not a psycho ai. She’s a figment of our collective imagination made real.
…(I’m still waiting on the author to tell us what that type of being is called, besides Kami, which is a cop-out. He might get around to it sometime in the next two decades.)
