Jenny, walking beside Hobe, flashed a mischievous grin. "Oh, don't worry, Hobe. We're just taking you for a casual stroll through our favorite virtual playground."
Hobe's eyes widened, a mixture of disbelief and concern evident on his face. "Casual stroll? This doesn't look like a park to me!"
Anna, the ever-analytical one, chimed in, "We need to understand the extent of your abilities, Hobe. What better place to do that than the training facility?"
Liam, walking at the back of the group, added, "Think of it as an experiment. No harm intended, just a little exploration into the mysteries of your unique skills."
Hobe, now feeling increasingly cornered, attempted to reason with a tremor in his voice, "You don't have to do this. Please, don't hurt me, friends!" His pleas resonated with desperation. "I don't want to get hurt for reasons that aren't important! I can't afford to go to the hospital!"
