Vodka thought to himself: If Uzo wanted to harm someone, he would definitely use all sorts of subtle, mysterious methods to lead the victim, without their realizing it, onto the stage he had arranged. Or perhaps Uzo would craft an elaborate Murder Case into an Invitation and lure the victim over.
—Either way, there was absolutely no chance that Uzo would simply walk up to the victim, casually pat him on the shoulder, and casually suggest, "Here's the thing. There's a spot over there. Go stand in it."
Something normal people did when filming a scene could never possibly happen with Uzo.
Conversely, following Uzo's straightforward instructions was very likely safe. On the other hand, if he stubbornly insisted on going against those instructions...
A string of thoughts flashed through Vodka's mind, swift as lightning.
"Since you put it that way." Vodka straightened his suit collar, striving to maintain the dignity of a Codename executive. "Then I'll reluctantly do you this favor."

And now he himself had somehow ended up on Uzo's list of people to persuade into studying... Thinking about it that way, he felt a little more at ease?
Vodka gradually calmed down. This was no big deal. Besides, Big Brother knew he was keeping an eye on Uzo. In other words, if anything went wrong, it would definitely be Uzo's fault. He was an executive too. What was there to fear? If Uzo needed help, then he would help!
