Meanwhile...

The cameras then disappeared as the contestants began to murmur. Cameron didn't know what to do, I mean how do you respond to a situation like this? He thought that no matter who you are you would probably be unable to fully know what the right path forward is even in your regular life. Now though? He has no clue.

He felt something on his shoulder causing him to turn to see Ari putting a hand on his shoulder. "We need to move you over somewhere else." Ari said with no hint of her former childish glee that she expressed even during the commercials. "Time may move differently here but I need you to follow me now."

Cameron found himself following Ari as she led him to some bleachers that he was sure weren't here before. "Sit at the top left Master Cameron. Once the girls' transformations are chosen and put on they will join you one by one." Ari explained before a large theater-sized screen appeared above the bleachers. "You can watch it all unfold as if you were an audience member from here."

Ari then turned to leave and presumably join the girls before Cameron instinctively called out to her. "Hey! Who are you really?" He asked her. Cameron knew she had no reason to answer him, he wasn't his master after all and in fact, she was in a position above him right now, yet she stopped.

Ari turned to him with a smile, only this time he could tell it was her biggest lie yet. "I don't know what you are talking about." She said with a crack in her voice, she must have realized how thoroughly she failed at acting cool as she hung her head in defeat. "Even now you seem to see right through me..."

"'Even now'? Don't tell me you are from the future or some shit like that." Cameron commented catching Ari in her slipup. Ari recoiled at his words before turning to leave.

"Heh, maybe you will find out all the answers you seek during the season?" Ari asked as if it was a rhetorical question. "Goodbye Master Cameron. I will see you when all the votes have been cast." Ari said before finally walking back to the girls to join them to reveal the votes...
