Has he agreed?

Unwillingly. I will send someone to him momentarily, to try to convince him. I still don’t think that, when the time comes, he will go through.

So then we just shove him where he can do no harm.

Hm. I don’t think that’s in our best interest. He needs to feel important.

So what do we do?

He needs to be the one.

The one?

The one.

That’s absurd! Why would we give him the most important responsibility, when he’s obviously the most volatile of the group?

Because if we give him a small responsibility, as I said before, he will not feel like we think he is important. If we give him this incredible task, it gives him trust that we believe he is the single most important member of this party.

I still think this would compromise the entire plan.

Do you agree that, without him, we may not be able to succeed?

Yes.

Please trust me when I say that we have to give him this position.

I can’t.

You have to!

Find someone else.

No.

You will.

No.

You are being very stubborn, aren’t you?

You are the one being stubborn here! You realize how important he is, yet despite what I, your closest friend, your closest ally, am saying, you will not listen to me.

That’s because what you are insinuating is insane.

I know him better than you ever will.

I don’t doubt that.

Your actions say otherwise.

My actions prove I know the biggest threat here.

You know what? Screw you. You’re not needed here.

I think I am.

You’re just taking control of this entire event.

You know you need me.

I really don’t.

Okay. After the deed is done, what happens?

The performing parties take over, and he gets absolutely destroyed. We’d each get a piece of the prize.

You know without me there, the prize would not be evenly split.

Why? Are we soooo weak and horrible that we can’t do anything?

Exactly.

You are a horrible bastard to work with.

I thought we weren’t working together anymore.

Have you changed your mind about giving him the task?

No.

Then I suppose you are correct.
