Part 771: Cynthia A

Ooh, Brady!

Wh-what? Didja find somethin' out?

Yes! ...Wait, how did you know? And why do you look so suspicious?

H-hey! I can't help it! I was born with this ugly mug, all right?

Ha ha! Sorry, I didn't mean any offense.

So, what did you find out?

Oh, right! Remember my phantom helper out on the battlefield?

The one with the smoke screen?

It was Lissa!

..... Oh. Really?

...That's it? I thought you'd be shocked. I mean, she's not exactly a likely suspect.

No, I... I guess she's not.

I asked her why, and she said it was because I'm a danger to myself! Can you believe that? Talk about rude! And who is she to talk? She's so spacey, she could outstare a statue!

You're kind of a matched pair that way. Makes sense you'd help each other out.

Hey! Don't you start, too!

Sorry! Sorry...

Mostly I'm just glad the mystery is solved. It's been plaguing me for ages!

Er, but it's only been happening for a week or two at mo--

Oh, shoot! I forgot I promised to help with the supply run! Gotta dash! Bye! (leaves)

Er, see you later! ...Cynthia. And she thinks Lissa's the spacey one? Oh man, that's fresh!

...Well, at least she bought the ruse. Looks like I owe Lissa a dinner.
