“What do you know that you don’t know?” You go for the funnier option and mess with him.
Bernie’s head bobs down, eyes locked on the ground, he raises both hands, drops them and puts them behind his back. He then twirls in place. He raises his head to show his white teeth like none of what you said affected him.
“Tell me something I don’t know, please.” He repeats himself as if nothing happened.
“Again, what do you know that you don’t know?” You cheekily repeat.
“Is that your answer?” Ammirati stays calm. It seems the situation sinks in on him.
“I mean it’s more like a counter-question.” You get technical.
“Your face shows me answers I shouldn’t have. You speak in ways that remind me of myself. You’re not supposed to fit in. You’re an alien.” Ammirati’s rambling continues to make little sense to you, but you can determine there’s a logic to it just by the way he’s talking. Reminds you of your dad’s drunk rants. Also, damn, Grace would hate to hear you’re from outer space.
“Okay.” You almost said it in the same detached way Amelia does. But you’re no dork, so you keep your regular ‘okay’.
“Nothing here surprises me. <span class="mu-s">Nothing.</span> But <span class="mu-i">you</span>.” Ammirati isn’t able to speak clearly. “I need to know if there’s more to this. Surprise me again. Do what the others can’t. You’re the inconsistency. Don’t be like them.”
“Uhh…” You, again, survey around for escape routes.
This time around, you see a familiar face walking around… It’s Gautier! He’s seemingly loitering without purpose.
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>“I said it already: What do you know that you don’t know?” Act like this is a riddle he needs to figure out.
>“Sorry, my friend Gautier is here, you know, the guy who tied you up! Hey Gauty!” Use your good friend as an escape rope.
>“You either start speaking clearly or I am leaving.” You’re leaving either way.
>“The invisible man won.” Shrug. Maybe that will calm him down?
>Write In.
