Five and Mitch were at it again, locked in their usual heated debate over who would get to go on the glitch mission with you. Their bickering made your head spin, the tension thick in the room. Just as the argument threatened to spiral, Miko suddenly spoke up with a clever suggestion: "How about I sit this one out, and you two go in together?"
Five’s face lit up with relief and excitement—finally, a chance to prove himself without the usual awkwardness. Mitch, however, looked disappointed; he had hoped the mission would be just the two of you, a chance to shine solo. But to Mitch, Five often felt like little more than a background character—was he even seen by anyone else? Or was Mitch the only one who truly noticed him?
Anywizzle, Five was deep in conversation, outlining the glitch’s dangers and the risks involved, while you listened carefully. Suddenly, Mitch cut through the seriousness with a sharp, dismissive
"Yawn."
Both you and Five shot him a glare—Mitch’s attitude was starting to wear thin. Five shot back coolly, "Dude, just stop. We need to focus. You clearly should have stayed back at Hinobi Tech."
That hit Mitch’s pride hard, stirring something deep in his ego. The air fell tense as his irritation bubbled beneath the surface, ready to explode.
