By 9 AM, a carefully worded joint statement went live on Phantom Youth and Tokio Hotel’s official fansites:

> "The recently circulated images and rumors surrounding Tom Kaulitz and Isadora Almeida have been proven to be digitally manipulated. We ask for kindness and privacy for the artists involved. The safety and mental health of our bands is our highest priority."

Fans were shook.

The comments section exploded.
Some people apologized.
Some doubled down.
Some just wanted more tea.

But one thing was clear:
People were watching.

In a downtown L.A. office, a lawyer named Lena Hoffmann adjusted her glasses and slid a printed forum thread across the table.

> “This,” she told David Jost, “is grounds for a restraining order, harassment charges, and more if she contacts Tom again.”

David nodded grimly. “We want it clean. Quiet. But effective.”

Across the city, Rafaela was on the phone with the German school board. Annika’s name had been flagged. Her accounts shut down. Her parents contacted.

No more hiding.

That night, the city glowed in gold and blue beneath the rooftop ledge. Isadora sat curled up beside Tom, her arms around her knees, oversized hoodie slipping off one shoulder.

She hadn’t said much since the news dropped.

Tom passed her the soda he snuck from the minibar. “You okay?”

She nodded. “I just… don’t get why people hate us so much.”

“They don’t,” he said, soft. “Some people are just so… empty. They see something real, and they want to ruin it.”

She looked at him.

He looked back.

And then — without any rush or pressure — he leaned in, rested his forehead against hers.

> “I’m not going anywhere,” he whispered.

Isadora smiled, her eyes glassy. “I know.”
