Stretching out as best as you can while pretending to still be tied to the chair, you raise an eyebrow at the Student Council Prez. Let’s start with the main course here-
“You want to know why I’m approaching you with this task.” Mina interrupts. Well, <span class="mu-i">yea</span>...
“Simply put, you’re one of the only people on this island that won’t be missed if he goes traipsing into the woods.” She shrugs.
Ouch, you hiss, that’s uh… a little harsh…
“But true.” Counters the Prez. “I’m already taking chances staying down here with you for this long, and while there are several people upstairs that could certainly get the job done, I know the minute they wander off at least one other partygoer will notice.”
You blink. Even the dorks?
“Even the <span class="mu-i">dorks</span>.” She repeats with a sagely nod. “At the moment you’re still a… <span class="mu-i">blurry</span> factor to my guests. You delivered the pizza, you got into an altercation with the event staff, and now you’re spending the night.” The corner of her mouth curves into a vague hint of a smile. “As far as they’re concerned, you’ll be on your best behavior until morning.”
Sure, you shrug, but won’t it still be weird for a <span class="mu-s">PIZZA GUY</span> to be running around and snooping?
“It’d be weird regardless of who I chose,” Counters Mina, “And the results will be the same if anyone is caught engaging in <span class="mu-s">CORPORATE ESPIONAGE.</span>”
You can’t help but shiver a bit at those two words. So she’s really only choosing you because you’re unpopular and expendable, is that it?
“I’m sure you can be very charming.”
<span class="mu-i">THAT</span> puts a smile on your face. Damn right you can!
“I’m sure we’ll see it someday.”
OUCH!
