Arc 4: Experience the Story - 7
"What are we supposed to do?" Weiss whispers to Ruby, her voice barely heard over the loud conversation beyond the door. "They've got unimportant characters with them. We can't make a move."
She casts a sidelong glance through the narrow glass panel beside the door, her gaze sweeping over the room. Inside, a group of people—students, contractors, and others who seem no more significant than background extras—sit around cafeteria tables, casually eating lunch in what looks like an ordinary corporate break room. Weiss keeps herself angled just right, her body hidden by the doorframe, careful to ensure that no one inside notices her watching.
Ruby's grin spreads across her face, "We can have Jin take care of them."
"Not anymore, not after you said that." Octavia chimes in, her tone flat but pointed. She crosses her arms, her brow furrowing slightly in thought. "I don't know if we're getting tangled in wordplay here, but technically, you're already disturbing them by even suggesting we use Jin. In a way, you're implicating him. Although..." She pauses, a hint of uncertainty creeping into her voice, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, and Jin could still help us out."
"We can find out by reading this new letter from Featherine." I reach over to snatch the letter resting on top of Weiss' head. She lets out a quiet huff of annoyance, casting a sidelong glare as I take it, clearly irritated but saying nothing.
I open the letter, and despite the overwhelming urge to snort, I manage to keep a straight face. Without a word, I flip it over for the others to see, revealing a single word scrawled in bold letters across almost the entire page: "NO."
