The Trap(Jared's perspective)

Yes, go for the bait. You can’t resist it. It’s a tasty, huge, Red Delicious apple. I have eaten the fruit of the Tree and I am confident that you will not resist it.

So, do as humans do, and eat the fruit of the Tree. “I believe I women’s lib,” Priscilla said. Got you. As I predicted, you bit the fruit of the tree, falling for the trap. Jared decided to continue.
