What do you do?

Wait for her to leave

You decide to wait until she's left before you climb out of the tree. Even though your first urge is to help the girl you love, you can't risk letting her know that you've seen everything, and worse, took pictures of the whole event. That would ruin her even more, and probably break any type of bond you have with her. No, it would be all around safer to stay hidden, and not tell her a word of what you'd done.

After a few excruciating minutes, she finally gets up, cleans herself up a bit, and goes back inside the building. You wait until you hear the door close before you jump down the tree, and follow her inside the smoking area. Before you enter, you hide the camera underneath your jumpsuit, and hope it's hidden well enough. Once inside, you figure you might as well have a smoke, so you light one up and puff it while awkwardly keeping your distance from a bunch of rowdy businessmen, trying my best to ignore the vulgar words they used for your friends.

Sarah is nowhere to be seen, but suddenly another girl enters through the door; Alice. She sees you, smiles, and makes her way over. Strangely enough, there's no sign of her getting used like a whore, even though you just saw it with your own eyes.

'How's it going?' she asks. 'Haven't seen you behind the bar.'

'Busy with other things,' you answer, perhaps a little too coldly.

'Alright,' she answers, a little curiously. 'Can you spare a ciggie?'

You hand her one, and light it for her, feeling a little guilty for the coldness in your voice. 'So, enjoying the evening?'

She looks at you before answering in whispered tones; 'Our customers are so fucking rude tonight. I can't believe the things they ask of me.'

'Yeah, I noticed,' you say, perhaps a little too quickly.

'What do you mean?' she asks, brows furrowed.

'Oh, I've been hearing them,' you quickly tell her. 'Bunch of rude, drunk bastards.'

'Yeah, exactly,' she says, her suspicions lowered. You thank the heavens that you tucked away your camera before entering the building again, or she would surely know something is up. 'But they give huge tips. "Hyrule" is going to be rich as fuck after this.'

'Well, I guess it's what we needed,' you tell her. 'I heard Felicity organized all this. She probably invited them.'

She suddenly looks very thoughtful. 'Really?' she asks.

'So I heard,' you say, before putting out your cigarette. 'Well, duty calls. I'll talk to you later tonight.'

'Yeah... okay!' she gives you a quick hug, and you make your way inside the actual building.

Does something happen inside?
