"Do you know what you did wrong?"
Ari stared at PD Emily, his mind whirling through the list of things he had done wrong.
From sneaking out repeatedly to arriving late at a performance in another city, hitting William(accidentally), sneaking in a recorder when there was an electronic ban, complaining about makeup being spilled on his clothing to the audience, complaining about something else during the ranking ceremony, threatening the assistant PD, breaking the door handle to his first room, etc.
The list could go on and on, and when he thought about it, maybe he went too far some of the time.
But as he stared at PD Emily's expectant face, he stayed silent.
He'd played these games plenty of times when his parents were still alive.
This was clearly a trap to force him to confess to things she might not know about, and he absolutely would not be falling for it.
Instead of admitting anything, clearly the best response was…
"…no."
Denial!
Deny, deflect, deny!
