You see Rex on the other side of the field, and there's a confident grin on your face. You look down at your hand and you drew just the right cards to crush those dumb dinosaurs of his, and when you look around, at the crowd and the spotlights, everything feels right. This is where you belong.

It was hard work reaching the National finals, and here you are, and there are people cheering your name, and it makes you feel good, accepted, and, well, you are actually happy.

You lay down your cards beautifully, and you don't even need to use Insect Queen to rise to victory, and before you know it, the speakers call out your name, crowning you as National Champion.

Your heart is fluttering, and your eyes are bright behind your thick glasses, and when your platform lowers so you can get the trophy from the hands of Pegasus' himself, you can't fight the blush that comes to your cheeks. Everything is so overwhelming, it feels like a dream. You don't remember ever feeling this good and this accomplished.

You just proved everyone what you always believed: that you are much, much better than everyone else.

[That wasn't a bad memory in the least, and yet, Haga doesn't look exactly thrilled about it. He actually looks very, very annoyed.]

Ugh, so this place is bringing that back, hm? Good... [He rolls his eyes, eyebrows knitted. One would think he would be glad to have something so good about him shown around, and yet... He isn't bragging as expected.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Ah yes, I've talked to her. [One of the few people that were quite alright right at the start, even if Haga doesn't say it.]

Hm... I wasn't... [But now that Rhys is suddenly secretive about it Haga is curious. And maaaaaybe a little worried about what type of business this guy does.]

How much high-tech are we talking about?

A little of this, a little of that. I've been toying with the idea of tracker mods for our ammo. It's really gonna depend on what the market demands, but I have a feeling that idea will go over really well.

That... sounds really advanced. [Haga certainly doesn't know the first thing about weapons and such, but a tracking for ammo sounds interesting. But also really weird.]

Speaking of which... It's good we don't need weapons here.

... We don't, right?

The council says we don't, but my stun baton's come in quite handy. But, hey, you're a kid. You shouldn't worry about that stuff.

I guess I don't... [Still he heard some things here and there about how the Sphere can get weird sometimes. Not that he wants a weapon for himself, but doesn't that make everyone super defenseless?]

Either way, if you do work on that VR thing, keep me updated, yes?

Yeah, I'll let you know. If we're both still here, anyways. This place sends people home randomly.

Yeah, I heard that tends to happen from time to time. That people leave almost as suddenly as they arrive.

Feels weird to form bonds in a place where that can happen, doesn't it?

It is a little weird. But, hey, you'll be okay.

[He feels bad for the kid. This isn't something that someone so young should worry about.]

W-Well, I'll totally be OK! I'm always OK! [Incredible how he can shift from insecure to full of himself at the drop of a hat.]

Just figure out which adults you trust and hope they don't get sent home before you.
