There’s no better moment to strike than now, you utilize the Spice technique to knock people out without causing brain damage (supposedly) on Carmella, and she collapses like a sack of potatoes onto the side of the cage. This is the second time you leave her to eat dust, good thing this time she isn’t puking on herself. Linda turns around due to the ruckus, sees her ally unconscious, and awkwardly power-walks out of the cage, the room, and the apartment. You could hear her mutter to the specters to have mercy on her…
“<span class="mu-i">Buahehuhihihi~!</span> My true moment to shine has arrived!” Oliver lets go of your invisible bond, and ties up Carmella with his rope. “There. What a beauty.” He’s actually proud. How could he not be? That looks like an expert knot.
“W-Watts! Could this mean that...” Billy can’t believe his eyes. He’s on the verge of tears.
“Yeah, we came here to save you.” You take the cloak off too without much fanfare. You wanted to be cooler, but you ended up being efficient. Matilda would be proud. “The others are busy distracting the thugs. Sorry for taking so long, we had issues locating you.”
“All is well! All is well like the... <span class="mu-s">Moonlight!</span>” Billy can’t come up with something better out of the sheer emotion. He jumps out of his prison with style!
“I have informed the others that we have secured Billy.” Oliver plays with his phone.
“I lament to let you know that —despite my best efforts— I couldn’t locate the Crystal Piece within the apartment, no matter how much I investigated.” Billy taps on the holes of the wooden floor. He’s insinuating that he snuck his entity through them. “But the dancing doesn’t stop until the music does.”
“How long can the others hold?” You ask Oliver.
“Actually, Lord Gargoyle (Left Hand) left me on read. He must have his hands full.” Oliver doesn’t give a good forecast.
You don’t think Carmella is going to wake up in a good while. You got her good. Like nobody did before…

<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>Search Carmella. Perhaps the reason Billy couldn’t find the Crystal Piece is because she had it with her the whole time.
>Chase after Linda, for some reason you think she has the Crystal Piece.
>With Billy secured, it’s better if you go. Take Carmella with you, you’ll ask her where it is.
>Tell everyone it’s not the time to find the Crystal Piece. You have the Crown, so rushing isn’t necessary. Just go.
>Give the apartment a second look. You don’t want to offend Billy, but you have to make sure.
>Write In.
