"hm..."
he debating if he should give it or not until he reaches his hand into his pocket to grab the USB
"I didn't even bother to use it until now, let's hope there's no virus in it" he hands out the USB for her

Marianna nods.
"I get it. Hey, maybe we should plug that USB you got and see what's inside?"
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"Well yes, to be frank, stealing isn't in my nature."
"I was protecting my sister, I made Elias fired her from workplace"
Mason Riley 📉🪙
Marianna's eyes widen.
"You... stole one? And... you worked at UmbraCore?"
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"Not until now, last time I remember I stole one before something happens, I mean... I used to work here"
Mason Riley 📉🪙
"That's understandable. ..Hey, did you hear about those USBs that UmbraCore was going to ship?"
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"She's so mysterious, in a way"
"At least not annoying enough as my ex co-workers"
Mason Riley 📉🪙
"I didn't know she didn't just come as a physical form. ...She could just be voices in our head, Mason."
And now she's questioning if Alira is real... Oh boy.
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"Alira... so that's her name"
"My first encounter wasn't a physical form, probably a voice in my head"
Mason Riley 📉🪙
"Ah... I see. I was approached by a woman named Alira when I was snooping around in my high school's library a few years back."
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"I wasn't available at that time, to answer your question: I wasn't aware that I'm... awake, and never said I want, I just met a strange blue orb and asking for my help to spread the words or something"
Mason Riley 📉🪙
"You've been here for a while...? Huh. I don't think I've noticed you. ...Well anyway, what made you want to be a part of the Awakened?"
After a few seconds of shaking hands, Marianna lets go of your gloved hand.
Marianna Quickglow 🔎
"Just call me Mason, been here for a while now"" he shakes her hand with his gloved hand
