She doesn't want him to lose interest in her. Nadia is afraid of being labeled a whore, but at the same time she is curious about how revealing pictures xVINCENTx can send. Not comfortable with the situation Nadia decides to post a picture of herself so she takes a picture from the internet and manipulates it before sending it of to xVINCENTx.

The next morning, Nadia wakes up to find her phone exploding with notifications. The picture has ended up on a rumor-account where Nadia is tagged, the world is turned upside down. Nadia tries to contact xVINCENTx but he doesn't answer. She tries to tackle the comments by denying that’s her on the picture, but her attempt fails.
