[Ai is led to the back by one guard while boss man is off finishing some last minute business.

The "rat" that was caught looks like he's seen better days. He's been roughed up and tied to a chair in a storage room. Ai's hands fly up to her mouth as if appalled. Her co-worker shrugs.]

"Caught this guy trying to hustle some files off our systems. Don't feel too bad for him; that's what a person gets for stealing. Anyways, go back to the party once you're done."

[Ai steps up to the tied man who glares at her as the guard leaves. She's quiet for a bit before slightly kneeling down.]

... I'm not going to do anything okay? I know that's what they probably expected and what you're ready for, but...

[Her voice is kind and it's foolish how gentle she is in a situation like this, that the captive looks at her as if he wants to laugh in disbelief. But then her eyes begin to glow and he's caught in her gaze.]

But you need to SLEEP.

[And the man, unable to shake off the now applied hypnosis, rolls his eyes once and then conks out. Ai straightens up and sighs.]

... They'll get mad at me, but I could smuggle him out instead...
