    The Story I Wasn’t Supposed to Tell [FINALE]
    Dec 5 2025

    THE FINAL EPISODE.

    Monte’s father finally tells me the truth. Not rumors, not guesses, but the chain of decisions that led from Adak to the crash that killed his wife. Trinity’s guilt, the cover-up, the rise to power. All laid out like it was nothing more than strategy. And while Monte rehearses lines I invented, I realize I’m not just helping shape his future. I’m hiding the past. This is the story I wasn’t supposed to tell.

    This final episode collects Tapes 51–57 of The Nico Tapes.

    A romantic Polaroid tucked behind Monte’s ID, the launch of his campaign, and a new secret kiss. Monte’s world is changing fast, and so is mine. As the numbers spike and Lucien gets closer, I start to see what they’re turning Monte into. He’s not a party boy anymore, and maybe I’m not just his speechwriter.

    A Symbol of Hope, Not Rebellion
    Nov 14 2025

    The headlines call her a symbol of hope, but I know what they edited out. Grief becomes spectacle, silence becomes strategy, and love starts to feel like more than a performance. Between the funeral lights and Monte’s quiet touch, I start to realize I’m not just documenting history anymore. I’m helping rewrite it.

    This episode collects Tapes 41–45 of The Nico Tapes.
