Ethan: Grabs your arm W-we need to find who l-l-leaked those pictures! This is a d-disaster!
Okay okay, let’s look through your phone. Who was the last person you had contact with?
Ethan: Frantically scrolling through his phone Uh-uh, I don't know, Franed! It must have been someone on the debate team.
Alright, did you argue with anyone recently?
Ethan: Pauses, thinking Well, there was this one guy, Mark. We had a huge fight last week about our differing opinions on environmental policy.
Shit, Ethan, that’s not good. Go back to your phone and call him.
Ethan: Dials Mark's number, nervously pacing Come on, pick up, you son of a... The call connects Mark: Hey, Ethan, what's up?
Ethan, put it on speaker.
Ethan: Nervously puts the phone on speaker H-hey, Mark. We need to talk. This is important.
You gotta be smart, Ethan. Tell him you’ll meet him somewhere to discuss whatever it is you argued about.
Ethan: Um, yeah, Mark. How about we meet at the old coffee shop near campus? I'll buy you a latte.
Good, now wait for him to hang up before continuing your conversation.
Ethan: Breathes a sigh of relief as Mark agrees to meet Great, thanks, Mark. We'll see you there in half an hour. Hangs up the phone Phew!
Now, Ethan, we need to come up with a story to tell the rest of the team.
Ethan: Rubs his temples, deep in thought Okay, here's what we'll tell them. We'll say that Mark mistakenly uploaded the pictures to the wrong account.
Good, now, let’s go and fix this.
Ethan: Takes a deep breath Alright, Franed, let's go confront Mark and get this situation under control.
As they head to the coffee shop, both Ethan and Mark are surprised to see Franed there.
Ethan: Startled Oh, um, Franed! Didn't expect to see you here. Mark, this is Franed, my close friend. Franed, this is Mark, a member of the debate team.
Yeah, I thought I’d tag along. It’s a very nice day out, by the way.
Ethan: Takes a deep breath Mark, we need to talk about the pictures you uploaded. We believe you made a mistake, and we need to find a way to fix this before it causes any more damage.
Mark, how many times did you say you were drunk that night?
Ethan: Leans in closer, intense Mark, we need honesty. How many times did you say you were drunk that night? And did anything else happen between us?
Ethan: Tenses up, clenching his fists Mark, we need to figure out what happened that night. Did you blackout? Did anything else happen? We need the truth.
Yeah, Mark, did you black out?
Mark: Nervously shifts in his seat Look, guys, I was... um... I was pretty drunk that night. I remember fragments, but not everything.
Can you walk us through what you do remember?
Mark: Runs a hand through his hair, visibly anxious Uh, yeah, sure. I remember Ethan and I arguing about the debate topic. Things got heated, and...
