An Extra’s POV

The night was awkward after that.

They had to speak to Justin, who was just returning from his meeting with his Party Members when he saw them in that corner.

As expected, he poked jokes at them and tried to probe further into what they were doing alone in the dark, but none of them answered honestly.

Thankfully, Justin only caught about a second of it, so he couldn't make any concrete case.

"Well, I hope your Party meeting went well. I'm supposed to rendezvous with them at our Group Room later, so I'm just whiling the time away exploring the city." He explained with a casual smile.

It might have been casual information from his perspective, but both Rey and Alicia received a rude awakening the moment he said this.

'THE PARTY MEETING!'

The had completely lost track of time, and now the meeting was probably over.

Justin, being the perceptive guy that he was, observed their shocked expressions and cocked his head slightly.

"You guys okay?"

"Y-yeahh…" They both muttered, their heads hanging in disgrace.

Who would have thought that Alicia—the stern and disciplined one—and the Extra—who didn't cause trouble for anyone—would be the ones to default in the plan?

Their heads were still spinning as to the consequences of their actions when Justin waved them goodbye.

"Welp! I gotta go now! You people can continue what you were doing back the—ouch!"

A slight jab from Alicia sent him hopping away, hurriedly waving as he ran off in both pain and fright.

"See you guys at the Conquest!"

As both Rey and Alicia heard his last words, they sighed simultaneously. Rey's sigh was louder, though.
