You raise an eyebrow at the familiar device. Yamamoto shouts, "Manager?? A girl? A GIRL?? YEAAAHH!" Lev blurts, "Hey, Yaku! That girl over there is taller than you!" Yaku's face reddens. "Lev, if you don't shut up, I will personally—" The team stands before you, waiting. What's your first move, you?
