Emerald

While she was at the bottom of the list for him between the three women, Emerald seemed like the smartest choice.

She wasn't as competent and collected as Cinder, nor as prone to shenanigans as Neo. Plus... Neo couldn't talk. MAYBE his Brainwashing could fix that, but he would rather have someone capable of giving him information. Plus, Emerald seemed kinda like Cinder's croney in a way. He figured if he was gonna get close to Cinder, it would be easiest to go through Emerald.

So his target was set. The only thing now was to find a way to get to her.

But as he planned, the bell rang and signaled the end of the lunch period. Next was Professor Ooblek's class where he sat in the back, making doodles of the hypnotized women in his notebook.
