Since we had a tie, I rolled the bones on this choice. End result was...
A) They'll get hurt if they get involved with the supernatural. Refuse to explain what's going on.
You've only been immersed in the supernatural for a few weeks, and you've already paid a very heavy price. You're not going to put other people on the line of fire, even if they're interested in doing so. They don't know what they stand to lose. But you can't just shoot them down, or they'll just keep asking questions until they find the truth or get hurt. You'll be vague about the details and see how much they already know.
"That was Bill alright. He keeps saying he didn't do anything, but that's poppycock. He took on that thing with no help and hung in there until you stepped back on stage. It was magnificent! I wish we could have seen it, but he told us to help herd the other students out." Lena says, nodding as you recount how you were knocked out by the flower and resumed the hunt for it after you woke up, only to find it had already taken a severe beating. Bill looks a little embarrassed.
"It wasn't anything like that...I was just stalling for time. It's easy to look good when you aren't even trying to fight." He explains, and Lena rolls her eyes.
"I don't know why the school's star keeps selling himself so short. If you're prime material, you shouldn't hide it. You should flaunt it!"
"In any case..." Tom says, interrupting Lena, who glares at him again. "That clears things up a little. We know what happened now-"
"No, we don't." Mizuchi says, eyeing you warily. "All he's told us is what they've done, but we still don't know what that thing was or how they attacked it with magical fire and water like Bill said they did."
52) Damn, this Mizuchi guy is more perceptive than he looks. All four club heads look at you, awaiting your response.
A) Evade the question. The truth will do them no good.
B) Give up; Explain everything.
