And she did, while streaming, some people who watched the stream said her screams were very clear and they were heart wrenching, why the fuck would a bunch of fully grown adults keep pushing a kid to jump off a building?.

[@DrPonner]

I'd say it was the straw that broke the camel's back for them. Or perhaps they knew she intended to quit on Jan 26th so they went the old petty "you can't quit, you're fired" route. They didn't expect any resistance after the fact, so now they've simply shit their breeches in fury. Black companies just can't stand/handle defiance or resistance of any kind. Well, unless it comes from their favorites (the money makers/bootlickers), then they're far more lenient.

Selen is Niji's most subbed EN female talent, might be their #1 female talent overall and yet it seems like management is always trying to screw her.

@@Dud3itsj3ff management, Niji, had been messing with Selen for a while now. Stuff Selen works on gets cancelled because of management. One that I remember is that tournament that Selen planned but was later cancelled because of Nijisanji. Now, Selen released this cover after working on it for a long time and spending a lot of money in it. But after it was uploaded in her channel, Nijisanji decided to make the original video private. Selen then went to Twitter to apologize and even told the fans to upload it illegally. She really just don't want all that hardwork, money, and effort to become nothing. Right now, the video on her channel is still privated so it seems Nijisanji really plans to keep it that way.

[@jasonkeith2832]

The song feels like both a message of hope for her fans, while also being the biggest middle finger to Niji. It gives her fans the message that if (when) she leaves, we will be seeing her return on her own terms, and is her saying that nothing Niji can do will prevent her from succeeding. I wouldn't be surprised if she was hoping it would fast-track her to getting fired so she could avoid having to wait out her contract while also potentially giving her ammo for a wrongful termination lawsuit.
