“Bring Ajna.” If you’re not a real host or part of the jury, you should get to decide this as a consolation prize.
“Very well.” Ruby shows her pearly whites again and remains still. “Tell me, Johnny, did you enjoy it?” She’s the only one nice enough to care about your opinion.
Of course, you’re going to give her the deepest positive analysis you can think of! She did remarkably well, so it’s only fitting you show the biggest indicator of approval!
<span class="mu-s">You shoot Ruby with a nice, well-formed, and immutable Thumbs up!</span>
…Ruby cannot attain a higher level of happiness as her cheeks turn rosy, she walks away with a warm heart.
Moments later, the trembling trumpeter arrives on the floor. She is nervous as expected, but not to the worst levels one can imagine. The social anxiety demon is doing excellent all things considered.
“H-Hello…” Ajna is playing with her trumpet’s handle to relieve stress.
“Hi, Ajna…” Amelia feels a little guilty about seeing Ajna again after their only encounter ended in tragedy. With a slight nod, Ajna acknowledges your sister without an ounce of resentment, which eases your sister’s concerns. You would’ve loved to see this kind of regret when your sister did that thing that you told yourself that you won’t bring up ever again. In completely unrelated news (you swear), Ajna improving makes Cookie the biggest nervous mess you know, what a disaster for her!
“Hey there, Ajna! Nice to meet you!” Debbie smiles from ear to ear. She shines brighter than anyone else in the room! “I’m glad you’re here with us! I’m looking forward to seeing you perform.”
“Agh, her earnest optimism is too overbearing...” Susie doesn’t like being close to Debbie’s electricity.
“T-Thank y-you, Ms. A-Ambition-P.” Ajna finds the strength to face the challenge! “J-Johnny…” Ajna asks you to come closer.
“You need anything, Ajna? How can I help?” You wonder what’s wrong.
“W-W-W-W-Who i-is that…?” Ajna points at Susie. “I-I a-a-a-asked y-you t-to not bring a-any s-s-s-strangers…” Oh no, the fidgeting levels are exponentially increasing by the second!
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>“She’s my friend, Susie! She’d never hurt a fly!” Shamelessly lie like a tool.
>“Sorry. She’s my friend Susie, I didn’t want to kick her out after she helped me with something, so I brought her here. I can stay by you while you perform if that makes you feel more secure.” Be apologetic but try to find a solution that doesn’t mean kicking Neko out.
>Kick Neko out for this performance.
>“Oh, that’s Susie! She’s a creepy stalker who uses the power of cats to survey us all at all times! She’s fiiiiine.” Be stupidly honest about this.
>“My bad. Ignore her, she doesn’t matter. Imagine she’s part of the crowd.” You can use Neko’s presence to Ajna’s advantage!
>Write In.
