“Let’s agree on a place to meet outside the bubble dimension.” You’re going to schedule another meeting! Isn’t that *great*?!
“Very well!” Fiora sounds thrilled! “I know the perfect place only the two of us know about: your mother’s grave!”
“<span class="mu-s">AH!</span>” Esperanza cuts the conversation out.
“W-What’s wro—” Fiora is perturbed by Esperanza’s shrieking.
“<span class="mu-i">AAH!</span>” Esperanza gets louder.
“H-Huh?” Fiora feels in danger.
“<span class="mu-i">You</span> said <span class="mu-s">it</span>!” Esperanza points at her.
“I don’t follow.” Fiora is still uneasy.
“<span class="mu-i">The forbidden word.</span>” Esperanza squints her eyes.
“What forbidden word...?” Fiora is looking around for a tabloid with the rules on it or something.
“Y’all were barred from ever mentioning *his* mother in *my* presence.” The Judge girl slams her hands on the table. “You goofed up.”
“I thought we were forbidden from making her the topic of conversation.” Fiora didn’t know the extent of the ban.
“Excuses. <span class="mu-s">You’re going to the cage</span>.” Esperanza points up with her thumb.
“<span class="mu-i">Iiiiit’s not that baaaad over hereeee….!</span>” Oh yeah, you forgot Smithele is up there. Hell, you thought he was trapped back in the other dimension.
“N-No! N-Not the cage! I’m sorry!” Fiora doesn’t want to relive traumatic experiences.
“Do you mean <span class="mu-i">it</span>?” Esperanza glares down.
“Why did you emphasize the word ‘it’? It doesn’t make any sense.” Of all the things Jesse could’ve raised his voice about, he went with that.
“Shut up, loser, I’m talking to the transgressor here.” Esperanza scoffs.
“<span class="mu-i">I’m not a loser…</span>” Jessie grumbles as he crosses his arms.
“Forget about him. Listen to Fiora, she really regrets it!” You try to back up little Fiora.
“I wasn’t talking to you either, hideous.” Esperanza dismisses you too. You wonder where your paper bag is.
“Am I missing something? I don’t think he’s ugly.” Fiora tilts her head.
“Ha! Changing topics, huh? You’re not really feeling sorry then!” Esperanza thinks she won this debate.
“N-No! I implore you to reconsider!” Fiora raises her arms in a panic.
“I’ll try.” Esperanza has a solemn moment in silence. “Since you’re defending each other so passionately, you’ll go to the cage next time any of you break the rules.”
“W-Why are you grouping me with them? I-I didn’t defend anyone.” Jesse is offended and confused.
“C’mon, don’t be a dick.” You nudge him.
“You’re right, I take it back…” Even Jesse knows there’s nothing worse than being a double dick.
“We’re in agreement then.” You act like you’re the group’s ambassador.
“Good.” Esperanza is content. “Now watch the match.”
