You decide to move forward without giving this man a second glance. He mutters something under his breath as he continues on his way, something about you being disrespectful and the like, nothing that you haven’t heard at home.
The Sorangeda loses steam and drops down onto the head of another passerby far away, with some sugary liquid dropping on her to boot. By the sounds of the heartbreaking screeches, the victim was none other that the employee that told you to leave the arcade. She’s having a bad day now, those are Tuesdays.
“Brutal, hehe.” Wilvy is walking backwards to see the damage that his former plastic bottle has caused. You don’t want to look back, whether the reason be not wanting to face the annoying guy, or seeing the employee have a meltdown, it’s not worth it for your psyche. “You noticed?”
“Huh?” You can’t pay attention while ignoring your problems. You don’t want to talk about the girl.
“Like, there are a lot of oddbods wiggling around. Menacingly.” Wilvy twirls back to face forward. He actually didn’t care for the girl at all. “Looks like they are going to the arcade.”
“Eh.” You shrug. It’s none of your business.
“I bet they’re cooking something. Some delicious broth in a huge pot. Like witches. That’s what Gunther said they do.” Wilvy is making up a story to entertain himself. “Wait, witches don’t cook well, right? Eh, forget it…” He feels bad for going on a random tangent.
“Depends if they’re cooking for a spell or for dinner.” You engage in the conversation.
“You’re riiight! Hehe!” Wilvy’s eyes start sparkling like there’s hope in the air. “Anyway, I wanted to tell you something… about, y’know, the guys and you. As a group. All of us four.”
“What?” You think Wilvy is an easy guy to get, but right now, he’s making no sense.
“Forget it, man. Just…” Wilvy wants to change topics desperately. “Oh! Look! A crane machine! Can you get me something? I mean, it’s not for me. It’s for Gunther. I mean, Gunther’s sister.”
“He has a sister?” You’re in shock. Also, the Arcade installed this machine as a way to promote the store. Kinda neat.
“Yeah, she’s rotund like a balloon. Gunther says she’s down in the dumps, and he wanted something to, you know, help. I bet one of these things can cheer her up, you feel me? You’re the crane master, can you give it a try?” Wilvy is counting on you.
“You don’t have any money, do you?” You think he’s counting on you in more ways than one.
“O-Oh, yeah. Hehe.” Wilvy feels some shame for asking.

>“Can’t do it. I have no money.” Move on and return home.
>“You owe me another Sorangeda.” Ask for something in return.
>“Do it yourself.” Walk away. You’re not doing him any favors.
>“Find some money, and I’ll do it.” You’re not using yours. Wilvy has to be creative.
