The standby screen finally fades and Iono comes into full view of the camera. She doesn't have on her usual streaming attire; Instead, she has on a white t-shirt, shorts and has her hair tied in a simple ponytail. Instead of the fully decorated room she usually streams in, she is sitting against a blank wall. No fancy UI, no bellibolt cam, no stream goals, no anything...just Iono. The chat is a war ground as messages both for and against Iono scroll by on the screen. Iono takes a deep breath and begins to speak

"Hi everyone...I never thought I would have to do this sort of thing because I never thought I would find myself in this sort of situation. No doubt you've all heard about the controversy that I've found myself in the middle of and the media's coverage of the incident in question. I want to tell my side of the story. Before I get into any details, I want to say from the bottom of my heart...I'm sorry."
