“People know me as <span class="mu-i">Kobayashi</span>.” Mostly by mistake. You’re really milking this fake name… “A-And sedate her? Wouldn’t that be overkill in the state she’s in?”
“Those were part of my instructions, Mr. Kobayashi. I’ll abide by your good judgment.” Ms. Strangelove isn’t interested in taking major responsibility. “I do have to wonder, what are those gorgeous goggles for?”
“These? To check on the situation.” You act as the knowledgeable phantom expert you are.
“Mind if I use them for a second?” The curiosity of the Professor is palpable. “I’ve been skimming over Professor Bombastus’ research while waiting, and the literature is quite entrancing. My curiosity has gotten the best of me. I’m sure you’re familiar with my type.”
“Here you go.” The friendlier you act, the less suspicious you’ll appear! That never worked for Vanessa though…
“<span class="mu-s">O-OH MY WORD! I-I can’t believe my eyes!</span>” Athena absentmindedly drops the goggles. Good thing you reacted in time to grab them… “M-Mr. Kobayashi, this is splendid, yet so unsettling…!”
“You need to be careful, ma’am.” You raise an eyebrow.
“My deepest apologies! It was so careless of me. I’m a woman of passion who often gets lost in her thoughts.” Athena is genuinely apologetic. “That little thing, is that…?”
“Eyup.” You try to act all nonchalantly as you try to figure out how you’ll take the bed with Ema on.
“Would you believe me if I told you that I felt its presence earlier? My eyes failed me, but I just knew it was on her head.” Athena has 2 eyes?
“It doesn’t sound strange to me, Ms. Athena.” You’ve seen weirder things.
“Were you trying to make a pun?” Athena finds it charming.
“What pun?” You have no clue what she’s talking about. “Athena, we need to focus. I need to take her out of here..”
“Mr. Kobayashi, are you planning on taking her with the entire structure…?” Athena notices you’re grabbing the bed by the back.
“Ye— No.” You stop trying to grab the thing and cross your arms. Kinda heavy for some reason. “Better get rid of these belts first…” You try to take off the one at the top.
“Allow me to be of assistance!” Athena starts loosening the ones from the bottom.
