And they're almost certainly gonna do some anti-Twisty slandering around the time of Ruru's formal debut. Right now it's just a matter of who's gonna get voluntold to cry crocodile tears and try to frame Twisty as a monster, who's gonna get voluntold to take the "logical" approach, and who's gonna get voluntold to take the "neutral" approach - my guess is that Klara, Uki, and Scarle respectively will be "randomly" chosen for those roles, along with Ryoma being "encouraged" to accuse Twisty of gaslighting him.
If any one of those four is unwilling or unable to intentionally hamstring their own reputations and careers by publicly slandering Twisty, they'll probably have Petra fill in the slot, because it sure would be a real shame if she suddenly found herself needing to change her student/work visa to a student visa - doubly so if they decide that her physical residence somehow counts as part of her streaming equipment within the context of the "Hippity Hoppity, your streaming equipment is now Anycolor's property!" clause of her contract.
Obviously the smart move would be for management to NOT do any of this, especially since Ruru has receipts. But they are almost certainly too vindictive to take the smart approach, and they've already demonstrated their willingness to go scorched earth to prevent terminated livers from having uneventful indie redebuts.
