767 T.D.o.N.B: Third upgrade

John's issue remained unresolved, as nobody dared to ask me, and they also seemed to be hesitant with asking him. One thing was obvious, for that guy to join us somebody had to pull some strings. There were probably at least a few theories about that, but I neither cared to find anything about them nor was in a position to get to know that because nobody would dare to discuss anything I'd already agreed upon around me.

Those people who were there with us were simply very grateful for the chance they received.

The situation was clearly awkward. John was an outsider, with only Tihana, Leonel, Carmelita, and Celestine hanging with him from time to time. The rest kept their distance.
