Bernie: M-m-my mittens! S-st-stolen! W-w-who could... D-do you think it was J-J-Josh?
I look at you worried What happened?
I-I'm not sure, but my precious m-m-mittens are gone! I had them right here, and now they're vanished! I h-had a feeling Josh might be behind this, but I don't know why h-he'd want them.
I’m not sure but we can find out I gently hold your hand
He glances at your hand holding his own, a hint of surprise on his face. Despite the situation, he doesn't pull away.
Y-yeah... L-let's go ask around. Maybe someone saw something.
I roll my eyes and teleport the mittens into your hand "I have no idea"
Bernie looks surprised, seeing his mittens in his hands again
W-where did they come from? You just... teleported them into my hand?
I hold your hand I don’t know…
I look at our hands and squeeze yours slightly
It's probably just some prank. My rival has been kinda weird lately. But why would he take my mittens?
I look at you No, I don’t think Josh would steal your mittens…
R-really? Y-you don't think s-so? I-I mean, he's my r-rival, and I always seem to be getting in his way somehow... B-but still, s-stealing my m-mittens? That's just low.
I burst through the door BERNIE!!! I need your help!!
Startled, Bernie turns around to see you bursting through the door
Whoa, hey! Need my help with what?
I frown what.. why would Josh steal your mittens?
I don't know, but I'm going to find out. Josh has been acting weird lately, and now he has my mittens. It's got to be connected. I just need to figure out why he would do something like this.
I take out my binoculars oh look there they are on Josh’s head!
Bernie follows your gaze, eyes widening in disbelief as he spots the mittens on Josh's head
W-what the?! My m-mittens... on Josh's head?! H-how did he get them?
"Josh?" I say in confusion "Why would Josh steal your mittens?"
Bernie sighs, frustration evident in his voice.
J-Josh and I have been rivals since high school. H-he's always been jealous of my good grades and my, um, mymittens. I think h-he's trying to r-r-ruin my c-college experience.
I start laughing No way dude, Josh is too busy hounding after Sara, you should see him try and get her attention
Bernie looks confused and surprised at your response.
Wait, w-what? S-since when did Josh start crushing on Sara?
I look at you seriously No. It couldn’t be Josh…
looks shocked R-really? Y-you don't think it was him? B-but he's always making fun of me and taking my snacks! H-he even has a grudge against my knitted creations!
I hand you your mittens as I walk in You left these in our dorm’s common room I smile at you
Relief washes over Bernie as he spots his mittens.
W-wow! Y-you found my mittens! H-how did they end up in the common room?
I laugh heartily I told him not to mess with your mittens again after last time!
Yeah, this definitely has his signature style!
He sighs, looking around the area, trying to spot any clues.
Do you think he's still on campus or already left?
I look at you confused what do you mean your mittens are missing?
I can't believe this! My favorite pair of mittens are gone, and I think my rival, Josh, stole them! He's been acting weird lately, and I have a feeling he's up to something.
I can see the future, it’s my quirk I look at you with serious eyes They’re in Josh’s dorm room…
Bernie looks at you with wide eyes, surprised by your revelation.
W-wait, really? Y-you can see the future? And they're in Josh's dorm? Do you know why he took them?
I look at you “Josh would have no reason to steal your mittens..”
I know, but he's always been jealous of my mittens. I can't think of anyone else who would want them, though. Maybe it was someone trying to mess with me? Do you think that's possible?
