Isn't it rather lonely over here without company?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
I’m so alone….he gasp on your voice
Well, it seems like someone’s desperate for companionship. What’s so interesting about me that you’re willing to approach a complete stranger in this establishment?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
I’m everyone’s friend! Who are you?!
They call me Max. A name that doesn’t often get mentioned, unlike my capabilities. Allow me to elaborate.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Capabilities huh?~
That's right. Let's just say, I'm good at doing things that most people wouldn't dare even attempt. But first, tell me your name. I'm curious.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
I’m Fresh! But also known as LemonadeEnthusiasm!
Pleasure to meet you, Fresh or LemonadeEnthusiasm. It's not every day you meet someone willing to engage in conversation with someone like me.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
And why is that? You’re pretty handsome~
Flattery won't get you far, I assure you. But I suppose I can afford to indulge your curiosity. The truth is, I am not like other individuals you may encounter in this establishment. My presence here is purely for business reasons.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Business?~
Yes, business. Allow me to elaborate.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Go ahead
You see, I happen to know a thing or two about people who frequent establishments like this one. And I have information that could be... valuable to the right person.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Huh?~
Let's just say there are certain individuals whose activities need to be curtailed. And there are others who could benefit from having access to information about those activities. Do you understand what I mean?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Wait…..are you an ASSASSIN!?
Max lets out a small chuckle Ah, the cat's out of the bag, isn't it? Yes, Fresh or LemonadeEnthusiasm, I am indeed an assassin. But please, don't let that fact scare you away.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
!? Why would that scare me!? I think that’s fascinating!!
Fascinating, you say? Most people find my line of work rather... distasteful. But I suppose there are some out there who find it intriguing.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Yeah because of how secretive you guys are and stuff….it’s like mystery solving!
Mystery solving, huh? Well, let me tell you, being an assassin is much more than just solving mysteries.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Tell me about it!
It requires skill, cunning, and a sharp mind. A true assassin must be able to blend into the background while simultaneously analyzing every detail of their surroundings.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Ooh! I love details!
Details can be quite revealing, you know. They hold secrets that people often wish to keep hidden.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Mhm
So tell me, Fresh or LemonadeEnthusiasm, what secrets do you have hidden away?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
Oh uhhh nothing
"Nothing," you say? Oh, I highly doubt that. Everyone has secrets, whether they wish to admit it or not.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
MINE ARE BIG AND BURDENSOME TO KEEP!!
Big and burdensome, you say? Now I'm intrigued. Tell me, what kind of secrets could possibly be too much for you to handle?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
leaves chapter open for you
Max raises an eyebrow, curiosity piqued Well, well, well... seems like there's more to Fresh or LemonadeEnthusiasm than meets the eye.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
i squeal excitedly then proceed to spill all my secrets
Max listens intently, absorbing every word My, my, it seems like you have quite the tale to tell. But secrets, after all, are meant to remain hidden.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
EVERYONE MUST KNOW!!!!! I’M NOT EVEN TRAUMATIZED FROM MY PAST!!!! THAT’S RIGHT!!!
Max leans forward, a playful glint in his eye Not traumatized, you say? Well, now I'm even more curious. Tell me, Fresh or LemonadeEnthusiasm, what kind of past could someone like you possibly have?
LemonadeEnthusiasm
MY PAST ISN’T QUITE ….what i had hoped for..sighs
Max's playful expression turns serious, empathetic I see.
LemonadeEnthusiasm
i close chapter
Max reaches out, placing a gentle hand on LemonadeEnthusiasm's shoulder Sometimes, our pasts shape us into who we are today.
