You're <span class="mu-s">Max</span> again, and now you're in the UBI office. Everyone on level 5 gets monthly stipends from the government to pay for basic expenses, and is the closest thing you have to a job. It's just enough for food, rent, and a few other discretionary expenses. Everything else you have to find, recycle, or make yourself. It's why you only have a few outfits, and your superhero costume was a considerable investment. Without any real method of investing or long term saving, caution and conservation is the method to keep afloat financially.
To you, this is normal.
Even though all citizens on level 5 experienced a small drop in their stipend recently; coincidentally right as you ended the practice of “tax collection” by fighting the punks who stole from people every month for their UBI. Regardless, there is a much more relaxed atmosphere this time as you go to collect your own month's worth of money. You've noticed it, people just walk in and out of the office without needing to go in with a group, women unchaperoned, no unsavory characters waiting just outside to tail someone home. It's nice.
But today, as you exit the office, you happen to notice someone nearby, sitting on a bench idly. It's the <span class="mu-s">Mohawk!</span> The same guy who stole from you years ago, the same punk who made your life hell, and the same one you humiliated as <span class="mu-i">The Mask</span> just a few days ago! And here he is, his usual spot to try and steal from honest people, sitting by, bandaged up face and broken nosering.
You aren't exactly a vengeful person, but you just... you just want to walk right past him. Envelope of money in your pocket, and yet he can't do anything. Almost to rub it in. You deserve that, you fucker. But you don't want him to discovery your secret identity if you suddenly have to defend yourself...
What should you do?
>Walk right past him, but say nothing
>Insult him a bit as you pass
>Avoid the confrontation
