It's been a while since everyone had watched Ortega turn into Orange Juice from Inanimate Insanity, and everyone had different reactions.

Liberty, Paige, Salem, Babe and Piccolo were bawling their eyes out; Baylor and Nikolas just stood there in pure shock; Bryson and Martha looked at Melanie in pure disgust, as if they were accusing her of transforming poor Ortega into OJ; Bastian was just plain disappointed that he couldn't protect Ortega from transformation; Karolyn was angry, wanting to beat the living shit out of whoever is doing this; Perce crossed his arms, angry; Andrew was unphased by this, barely showing any reaction to this since he knows how people have been disappearing for years; as for Tanaya, she had a wide, evil grin on her face, as she wanted this to happen!

"Well, that just happened, at least she's gone now!" Tanaya snickered.
"HOW ARE YOU SO NONCHALANT ABOUT THIS?!" Bastian Parker, a man somewhere in his mid-20s, asked Tanaya.
"Well, she deserved it, didn't she?!" Tanaya snickered.
"She did not, just because she had a panic attack over the disappearance of Pashtilda earlier doesn't mean she deserved to lose her humanity! You're a despicable bitch!" Bastian scowled... but Tanaya was now thinking of a response.

Bastian always stood up for what's right, and loved justice. He can be described as heroic, a natural-born leader, and the first person you can trust because he'll do things right. That's what most people see him as. However, Tanaya instead sees Bastian as a threat and a snitch, although he is doing what is right instead of doing it for his personal gain.

It was also hard to defend your values when you've been accused of a snitch, even threatened/bullied into silence. Bastian was also strong enough to defend himself against those threats... he knew of the consequences of ratting someone out, but he also knew the difference between tattling and reporting. He was also considered a mature, responsible adult.

"Hey, why have you been bossing us around lately?! In fact, you've been bossing us around since we've gotten here!" Tanaya scoffed.
"It's my job to do so, and it's for all of you's good!" Bastian scowled.
"I don't trust a snitch like you!" Tanaya scoffed, "And snitches get stitches, you little sonofabitch, and those stitches are going to be blood red!"
"I beg your pardon? Is that a threat?!" Bastian asked.
"Well, no, it's a promise!" Tanaya scowled back.

"Tanaya! That's uncalled for!" Baylor scowled, "You don't talk to good ol' Bastian like that!"
"What?! I'm not supposed to tell you all that he is more likely to betray you than little ole me?!" Tanaya asked.
"No, you're the untrustworthy one!!!" Baylor cried out.
"You're all pathetic, and Bastian, remember, snitches get stitches! Blood red stitches to be exact!" Tanaya then tossed her long brown hair and walked back to her work station, her feminine struts not being paid attention to.

"Don't worry, I am not going to betray you, and I'll protect you all from anyone who might seem like a threat." Bastian reassured everyone.
"Good, I don't want anyone else to get hurt." Andrew added.
"Now, let's all get back to work before anything gets worse." Bastian sighed.
"Like, the break is like, over?!" Babe asked.
"No, there was never a break, only a stupid-ass emergency!" Karol scoffed.
"Like, bummer, it would've been nice if we had, like, break time!" Babe cheered.
"Shut up! An innocent girl just got their life cut too short! We cannot just stand there, we have to do something, anything!" Karol scowled, clenching her left hand into a fist.
"Well, I think we should not let anyone tear us apart, it would be a waste of time and all we can do is live on for Ortega... stay strong for her." Bastian sighed.
"You're going to just give up?! Where's the Bastian who would avenge those who've been wronged?!" Baylor asked.
"I cannot hurt anyone, it's against the rules... imagine the horrifying consequences that will be done unto me! Imagine the consequences that might be done unto yourself if you did that!" Bastian cried out.
"What a coward." Tanaya let out a laughter, mocking Bastian, leaning out at the door of the room she was working in, "And yes, I can hear you!"
"I beg your pardon?" Bastian asked.
"Well, you see, you claim to be heroic, yet you're a coward... just a mere stickler for the rules!" Tanaya snickered.
"Don't call me that!" Bastian scowled.
"Oh, really?! I would like to see you try. Go ahead, punch me in the gut, make me squeal! Make me tell whoever is doing this to take you away and make you fall a similar fate as Pashtilda and Ortega." Tanaya snickered.
"Oh, my God! What are you trying to do, Tanaya?!" Liberty whimpered.
"You better not be trying to get people into trouble again or I will let Karolyn beat your ass!" Paige scowled.
"I am not... after all, he's bringing it to himself!" Tanaya snickered, "He's too much of a coward to tell on me, if he heard my message loud and clear."
