To put it bluntly.. many are committing suicide and dying because obscene videos of them have come out.. that should not be done. The videos will come out.. but don’t think you’re going to die. You didn’t do anything wrong.. Why do you want to be sacrificed for what someone did? If you want to die because the world saw something in you, you don’t need such a world.. Tisei. Take out the world and live for your life.”
