“Yes, the Alien came over and took us home. I’m not even kidding.” Vera half-chuckles. “I don’t know how he did it, but he snuck you back into your room. He didn’t even know where you lived.”
“That’s it?” You’re disappointed.
“No!!! But should we talk about this right in front of Liu? No offense, Liu, you’re very helpful and sympathetic and all that, but get a grip and give us some space.” Vera is being very rude.
“Uhm… But I have nowhere else to go.” Liu can’t go back to classes now. You’re all fugitives!
“Put these headphones on, and go to that corner. It’d be really stupid if you listened to all of this, right, Johnny?” Vera wants you to back her up.
“…” You don’t say a word.
“Johnny?” Vera doesn’t want you to be stupid.
<span class="mu-s">How do you respond?</span>
>“That’s exactly why she’s going to stay.” You’re going to be stupid on purpose.>“I can sneak you back to your classroom, Liu, nobody is going to notice.” Time to use your invisibility for something small and unimportant.>“Just answer the Alien bit, Vera.” You’re not going to give Liu context, or let Vera evade the question.>“Vera, what happened to you? You’ve changed. You weren’t this mean.” Be sad about this too.>Let Liu go to the corner and listen to all the answers you want.>Get Liu up to speed with all the events necessary to understand what’s happening between you two.
