    Plot twist: Anon was actually the annoying orbiter and the guy with the inheritance was just trying to be nice because no one else in the friend group ever invites Anon to anything

    Double plot twist: there is no friend group and Anon is actually just describing something he saw on TV

      Given they’re on 4Chan, the odds of anon being the annoying orbiter without realising it is definitely non-zero

      That’s some twist in a greentext. I usually start with “at least 80% likely to be fake” and adjust upwards from there.

      A week late, but the twist I expect: OP is the orbiter but no inheritance and wanted to hang out with one of the group friends (any of them) one on one but no one is interested so OP came up with a fantasy where they are losing out for not hanging out with him.
