The Reckoning Begins

After walking in on Meryl sleeping in Apt. 3 —a unit you're actively trying to rent— you decide to go upstairs and see why she'd rather sleep here, with the rabbits, instead of in her own sweet bed. When you get upstairs, you walk right into a cloud of smoke.

The Two Faces of Pimento

At first, Pimento scowls at your unexpected entrance. She stares at you for a moment, as if trying to compute. Then a wicked smile sweeps across her face as she recognizes you. You can feel the surge of her sudden charm, like a zap of electricity.

No More Mrs. Nice Guy

But you're not having it. Here you are again, being taken advantage of when you set out to help someone. You've made it clear to everyone in the house that smoking is off limits. And anyway, who smokes in 2025?

This is Not a Flophouse

And what's this? In the other room, a bunch of kids are passed out, giving off major flophouse vibes. You can't believe that in the golden age of such tasty edibles, Pimento would break the rules and bring smoke into your freshly painted house.

No Hard Feelings, But You Gotta Go!

You tell Pimento that this just isn't working out. She'll have to go home early because the Melroy House is not a flophouse — it has rules! Meryl comes downstairs just in time to catch a blade-like glare from her cousin.

Regret Sets In

Unbeknownst to anyone at all, regret sets in as Pimento stands on the porch alone with her bags and the flea-ridden cat that isn't allowed to come inside for fear she'll bully the other pets... It's lonely when you've worn out your welcome.
