Quoted By:
Benedict and Maruyama are pretty sober despite the piles of empty booze bottles around them.
Benedict helps Adam and Frank up to their feet, dragging the two of them away. Now, it's just you, Alexis, and Maruyama.
Your head is swimming. Your lips are latched around yet another bottle of whiskey. It burns GOOD going down and before you know it, the bottle clatters onto the table. Your stomach is full from all of the biscuits, salmon, and steak you stuffed down your gullet. The table is nearly empty of all of the freshly cooked food. There's maybe a few biscuits left but that's about it."
"Mmh." Maruyama takes another sip from his fifteen glass of wine. His face isn't even remotely flustered. "Recite the alphabet, Nicole."
"A...F...uh." You try your best but your brain is too fried to even attempt this task.
"Yeah, taking the two of you home. C'mon. Otto left a ticket for us."
"ogey." You stumble up to your feet. Maruyama grabs the odd slip of paper before moving to grab both you and Alexis. Holding the two of you upright by letting you two lean on his shoulders, he begins to escort you out of the building.
The pitch black streets are only illuminated by the faint moonlight above. Maruyama leads you and Alexis down the streets with barely any strain despite holding up the two of you. hehe. sstrong...fuck.
You regain a bit of awareness when he leads the three of you onto a train. The same slick, futuristic one from T-Corp. You close your eyes for a few moments, god they're so heavy.

When you next open up your eyes, you're sprawled out across your bed. The only thing on you is your combat bodysuit. Everything else has been left on a nearby chair. Most of them are coated in booze and drool stains. Huh.
You notice a figure moving around in your room, readjusting things and dusting the floor with a broom. A sword sheath hangs off their belt and you think their suit is purple or lilac but that's all you can make out of them.
Your head is throbbing too much to question who they are. They notice you're awake but they don't say anything. They place a glass of water by the desk nearby your bed before patting you on the head.
"Get some sleep." The mysterious figure whispers to you. You swear that voice is familiar.
You close your eyes again.
>+0.5 RAPPORT with OTTO, FRANK, MARUYAMA, BENEDICT, ADAM, and ALEXIS!
When you open them this time, you can already feel your head SEETHING. You smack your hand around on the nearby desk for the glass of water left behind. You down the thing in one gulp before sitting up. Feh. Another mission done with, another night of poor sleep.
