6- If you see something, say something. Don't wait.

[Y/N] had enough. Everybody was acting weird at one point, like the cast was conspiring against them. 

Yes, this world is amazing, [Y/N] thought, But if I don't leave soon, something is going to happen to me. I have a feeling.

The problem is, [Y/N] had no idea of a way to escape. And the cast surely wasn't going to help them. But then, they realized something about what Blazer said. Could Rider really be the key to getting out of this place? If they push his thoughts and doubts, he could be of use to them. But why? Why was Rider the only one to be on edge? It's as if...as if Rider had an opinion like the others but changed it at some point. And this was going to be easy, because like the School Cardigans incident, Rider could be easy to manipulate if you know how.

[Y/N] decided that the best way out was through Rider. They were going to talk to him tonight, after battles have ceased, at his apartment. To push him to spill the truth about these events. About Goggles' behavior. It's getting to be a burden at this point.

Goggles saw [Y/N] deep in thought. "You okay?"

"Yup, all good." [Y/N] lied.

Goggles smiled. "Good! Because you should watch some more battles! We're going up against the S4 next. Wanna come?"

"Actually, I'm tired from the commotion. I think I'll hang out at my hotel for a bit." [Y/N] said, fake-yawning.

Goggles prepared his weapon along with the rest of his team. "Alright! Well, I'll see you later then!"

"Okay!" [Y/N] replied as they walked off.

As soon as they got out of sight and away from the lobby, they called Rider.

The phone rang.

Come on, pick up, pick up, pick up..., they thought.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Rider, I need to talk with you. As soon as possible."

"I'm busy right now. Didn't you hear I'm battling soon?"

"No, I mean tonight. At the hotel, or your place. Somewhere away from Goggles. You'll understand why, trust me."

"What are you trying to pull?"

"Nothing, I swear! I just need to say a few things."

"Then say it."

"Oh my God, just hear me out! I can't be seen or heard doing this! It's not anything creepy!"

"Is this about your situation?"

"Yes. Just meet me at the hotel tonight at 9:30, okay?"

"Goggles is gonna wanna know where I'm going."

"Tell him that you've got a meeting with your team."

"At 9:30?!"

"No...okay...what about you're going to- You're an adult! You can do whatever the hell you want! Don't tell him."

"This better not be a waste of my time."

"It won't, I promise!"

"Alright. 9:30, the hotel by 2-6?*"

"Yes, sounds good."

"Okay, see you there."

The line went dead, which left [Y/N] in a bit of a weird state of not knowing what to do next but at the same time wanting to go off and explore. But, they just needed to stay in the hotel for a bit and clear their mind. So they did that.

Around 9:25, [Y/N] got a call from Rider.

"Hey, what's your room number?"
