The Midnight Article “Boy Makes People Commit Suicide" was written by u/Roblox838 and posted to r/MidnightPaper.

The text of the Article was as follows:

BOY MAKES PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDEA string of suicides were linked together by two facts; they all went to the same school, Bariffi Academy, and they were all in either the same class or were on the same bus with Olrick Flaxaut ************. Some who only saw him a few times said he talked so much about the same thing that it made all those people kill themselves.

The topic he'd talk about was a film called ***** *******. It is about an incident in the ****** ******* Civil War in which the *********** Corps attacked the People's Army of *************. Eventually this made the children involved go so insane they'd commit suicide.

Description:

"Olrick" is a Biological-Type Oddity who appears to be a normal boy who attends Bariffi Academy. Olrick is anything but ordinary, however, as he possesses the unexplained ability to make people who listen to him speak about the same subject commit suicide.

Process:

The topic in question is heavily censored by the writer of the Midnight Article, most likely to protect readers. However it involves a violent event in the Civil War. The Article made it appear that the reason why those within earshot when Olrick was speaking was that he was speaking about it 'so much.' It is unknown if his repetition holds some kind of mesmerizing power, but this is likely.

Olrick is most likely aware of his 'powers,' as he has honed in a specific subject that, when he speaks about it, causes people to take their own lives. Olrick is incredibly dangerous, whether or not he's aware of it.
