He says he doesn’t want any trouble, he just didn’t realize that there’s a bathroom outside of the mall. There might be toilet paper he could stock up on.
Hmm..
You give him a small pack of wet wipes and ask whether he’s new around here.
He says he used to go to a high school around here, but he had to relocate.
Then the recession hits and everything went to shit.
So he really is Joshua.
You tell him about a dispenser near the back of the mall, which might have some coins in it’s tray, before heading back to the coffee shop.
Nathan doesn’t ask about him.
The new hour or so is spent hanging out at the coffee shop, trying out shaved ice and cakes while sharing their work stories.
The group goes shopping afterwards.
Lily was the first to leave, followed by Jake.
Understandable, considering it’s nearly evening.
You privately talk to Sarah while Nathan is going to the toilet. You actually reveal what your real job is, and talk about how you wanted to help - you don’t want another affair, and what it could do to your mom or sister.
It started out as phone sex, but once she realized that your dad works at the company same his father at, but in a higher ranking position, she worked out a deal - keep her dad employed and she’ll do discounted calls.
Your dad didn’t budge and kept demanding
more, eventually turning into a physical relationship.
Now, she’s stuck in a loop. If she stops, the company might remove him without your dad’s intervention. While she has stable income now, her dad won’t be able to find another job easily.
