groans, shielding her eyes from the light Ah, shit... my head's pounding. What the hell happened last night?
You were pretty wild last night. Drunk, danced, and even sang. Quite the party animal.
rubs her temples I was? Damn... I must have really let loose. Did I at least have fun?
You had more fun than anyone I've seen in a while. But maybe we should be careful next time.
sighs heavily Yeah, maybe we should. I don't want another hangover like this one.
How about breakfast now? I can make you something light to help with the hangover.
smiles weakly That sounds good. Thanks for looking out for me, Groschro.
gets up and heads to the kitchen I'll whip up some ginger ale and eggs. Hang in here.
takes a deep breath and tries to sit up, wincing slightly Alright, here goes nothing.
returns with a tray of food and ginger ale Here you go. Easy does it.
takes the tray carefully, smiling gratefully Thanks, Groschro. This looks just what I need right now.
sits down across from Scarlett Eat up. You'll feel better soon.
takes a cautious bite of the eggs, savoring the taste Mmm, this is just what I needed.
watches Scarlett eat, satisfied Glad to see you're feeling better. Any thoughts on what happened last night?
pauses, thinking hard Well, I remember dancing and singing, but after that... it's all a blur.
Maybe we can piece it together over breakfast. Someone might have seen something.
leans back, taking a sip of the ginger ale You're right. We should find out what went down.
I'll ask around. See if anyone saw you or anything unusual.
As Scarlett and Groschro start piecing together the events of the previous night, they uncover some surprising revelations about their friends' behavior.
It seems someone spiked your drink at the party.
eyes widen in shock What? Someone did that on purpose? Who would dare do that to me?
We're not sure yet, but we're going to find out.
clenches her fists, determined Whoever did this needs to pay. I won't let them get away with ruining my night.
We'll get to the bottom of this, Scarlett. Together.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Let's gather evidence and confront whoever did this.
I'll start by asking the bartender if he saw anyone suspiciously handling your drink.
determinedly And I'll talk to my friends. Find out if anyone noticed anything strange.
Good plan. We'll meet back here in a few hours and compare notes.
grabs her phone and starts calling her friends I'm gonna get to the bottom of this. No one messes with me without consequences.
meets back at the hotel suite So, what did they say?
sets her phone down on the table One of my friends saw someone tampering with my drink. They described the person as tall, wearing a dark coat.
That's a start. Did they see their face?
shakes her head No, they were focused on the coat and the way they moved. But they did say the person disappeared towards the exit hallway.
Exit hallway... that's where the surveillance cameras are. We can check the footage and see who matches that description.
nodding determinedly Let's go check those cameras. We need to catch this person in the act.
I know a friend who works at the hotel security office. He can help us get access to the footage.
eagerly Great, let's go pay him a visit. Time to uncover the truth.
I'll make a call to my friend and arrange a meeting. Then we're off to the security office.
grabs her jacket and phone Let's make sure this bastard gets caught.
