"Weird. Why is everyone calling me to talk about collaborations all of a sudden?"
After hanging up on New Moon, Deviant took calls from several other film companies. Without exception, they all wanted to collaborate with Idelos, even going so far as to say he could set his own terms.
"Looks like your last apology worked," Deviant said, looking at Idelos.

Forget collaboration offers from film companies—he even had a ton of advertising and brand deals pulled. The only offers that trickled in were from small companies trying to take advantage and get a bargain.
