It all started unintentionally when Ryan just wanted to help Alice stabilize her attributes, but ended up getting a side quest.
[Side Quest: Give Alice a Massage]
[Reward: Truth Serum +1 (Effective for 30 minutes, can only be used on the opposite sex), Skill Point +1]
Ryan couldn't help but smirk when he saw the skill point,he remembered his "Blind Massage Techniques" skill. Since he never seemed to draw anything good, he figured he might as well ignore it.
However, the truth serum from the quest rewards piqued his interest. It could be useful on Alice.
After all, he still had no clue what Alice's dangerous situation really was. Using the item to get some information seemed like a good idea.
Ryan wasn't sure if his decision was the right one.
But when he saw Alice curled up on the couch like a doll, her attributes teetering on the edge of collapse, he stopped overthinking it.
