After more convincing from the two girls, Alice finally relented, allowing them to proceed with their plan but setting a condition: they were not to harm Hera or her reputation in the process. The two girls pretended to agree but set aside Alice's condition as soon as they had her approval. Wasting no time, they went straight to work, starting gossip about Hera on the Campus Forum.
They didn't stop there. They also took a candid, low-quality photo of Hera, deliberately obstructing her features so no one could clearly see her face, leading others to assume that was all there was to her.
While they used a high-quality camera to capture Alice's photo, they staged her as if she were simply walking around campus. Her hair was gently blown by the wind, with flower petals seemingly falling from who knows where making it look like spring had just arrived.
