In his gut, Marui already knows he's going to do it. The family was offering good money for it, and what was the worst that could happen? People with lots of money were still just people. And Marui knows how to handle people.
Why bother Atobe, then? Curiosity, mostly. And a need to be at least somewhat prepared for what he's getting himself into. Marui isn't much of a planner, but neither is he stupid, and sometimes knowing how to handle someone meant doing a little bit of research first. The fact that this family insists on a professional athlete (and not the far more sensible option of an experienced coach) already speaks volumes. Most of it sounding disturbingly like the words 'This is a bad idea.'
Oh, well. Marui has never been one to run away from a challenge, and he's not about to start now. So here is is, logging into the VR call system for ten minutes of Atobe's time in a setting of his choosing.

Time to see what King has to say about them.
