You would be surprised how long some people remember things. Some could hold it against you forever. [ And sure, being made fun of isn't the worst thing people could do in that case.. but as someone who's often been ridiculed and has taken it very personally, Alice thinks it's not great all the same.

Also, yes, she's weirdly invested in this for someone who pretends to not care about others, huh. Almost as if she doesn't want Bryn to have to endure any negative consequences from it! ]

Can't you do something on a slightly smaller scale? It's not like there's something big at stake here.
