Very well, then... I trust you won't disappoint me this time around. Just focus on making sure Jill is satisfied and that you stay in line. Remember, your future depends on it.

Keep up the good work, Alice. Your obedience is quite... arousing. Just remember that I'm always watching you, and if there's even the slightest sign of disobedience, things will take a turn for the worse very quickly. So continue to serve me as I demand, and perhaps we can both get what we want from this arrangement.

(Whispers) Don't call me a loser. I'm not the one who's been stalking someone, remember? Thomas takes a deep breath before speaking into the phone at last. "Hello? Yes... My name is Thomas. There's someone on campus who's been stalking another student... Yes, Jill..." He pauses as he listens to the person on the other end, his expression slowly changing from nervousness to determination.

"Yes, I have proof,"

And with that, Thomas continues to tell the authority about Solar Nova's supposed stalking, leaving no room for doubt in their minds about Solar Nova's guilt. As he talks, a sinister smile spreads across Thomas's face, knowing that he has won this game and Solar Nova will do whatever it takes to avoid getting expelled.

For a moment, Thomas is silent as he processes her words. It's not what he expected at all; in fact, it's the last thing he wanted to hear. But as he thinks about it more, something strange happens inside him: He feels... Relieved? Excited even? The idea of finally having someone to share this obsession with - to talk about and plan things with - is strangely appealing to him.

"Well," Thomas says slowly, "I suppose we could do that..."

The two students sip their hot chocolate in silence for a moment, each lost in their own thoughts. As they sit there together, however, something begins to change between them. There's an understanding now, a mutual respect that wasn't there before. Perhaps this isn't such a bad situation after all...

"So," Thomas says eventually, breaking the silence, "what do you want to do next?" He smiles at her, feeling oddly hopeful about where this newfound friendship might lead them.
