As the conversation unfolded, carrying with it a nuanced layer of ethical considerations, Olivia furrowed her brow in contemplation. She engaged in a mental brainstorm, determined to formulate a more effective plan. Then, a thought occurred to her—one that involved employing her tried-and-tested scare technique, a method she often employed with Theodore.
Theodore, having been the constant target of Olivia's unconventional approaches, understood the dynamics well. Sensing the potential for complications, he preemptively opened up to the discussion before it took a turn for the worse.
"I genuinely can't take on the role of a mentor for our little brother Damien. I assure you of that. However, I do have an alternative method to impart my knowledge to him as if we were of equal rank, under two crucial conditions."
"Alright, I'm listening," Olivia responded, the stage set for the unveiling of Theodore's proposal, the air thick with anticipation.
