“*Ehem*… Let’s stick to the questions.” Zyra coughs, blushing slightly.

“Sorry this one isn’t all about you, girls.” You apologize beforehand. “But Vortexia, I was listening to you during the race — and you made some interesting comments.”

“She was flirting, dude.” Crossbill jokes.

“A-Aside from that.” You frown.

“My, you’re easy to tease.” Beth is taking notes. Sally and Zyra know where this is going.

“W-Wait, you heard me?” Vortexia wants to know why you didn’t say pretty things back! You were busy with the race!

“Get to the point...” The rare relaxed Vera demands a resolution.

“Hold it. Can you expand on what you’re talking about?” Zyra asks politely.

“Aye! We want to know everything.” Sally loves stories!

“It was a ridiculous string of events, but cutting things short, our champion here won an important document by beating a baddie through Go-Kart racing.” Crossbill explains.

“It’s not different from saving us all in a Guess Whom game.” Zyra points out as she chuckles at the absurdity.

“What a lovely day…” Beth is taken back to… two days ago.

“He did what…?” Vortexia is more confused than ever.

“The point…!” Vera centers back the convo.

“Right, you knew some of the competitors, didn’t you?” You ask directly!

“Yes, a woman called Nina, and a little girl Jesse.” Kushi leaves no outs for Clutz! Even if she wasn’t planning on not answering.

“Jesse is a guy.” Vortexia corrects. Vera and Crossbill exchange looks.

“And he’s balding…” You sigh.

“What? No. Wait, is he?” Vortexia doesn’t know what’s under the hat. You shrug. Clutz looks unconvinced.
