[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

[ just sort of looking at the glass now ]

Ah ... ah...

[ and he's not really able to articulate anything right now, very clearly terrified ]

I'm a turtle, it'll be fine.

R ... really?

[ it's obvious he's feeling guilty about it, but ... ]

So we -- could just, not do it ... and it'll be fine?

I don't want to see you guys hurt yourselves.

[ covering his face with both hands ]

But she could boil you, so if we don't we'd be bad teammates.

She might not?

... just one round, then.

Yeah.

[ just sort of falling silent now and looking down ]

...

[this is gonna go so bad]

[ llllooking between the two of them. ]

Guess we can afford to throw one round. Even our princess ain't that short.

So let's just skip, bro.

Hey, you see me arguing?

[ mildly ]

This is messed up.

Don't let D do anything stupid.

[ just. kind of Eyeballs him. ]

Man, if I knew you wanted to be soup that bad...

I don't but...

Yeah, yeah, I know.

You been at the last couple games?

[ silent for a bit, looking down ]

... Is it okay?

[ ugh. ]

... which part's scaring you the most?

I-- I'm not scared! It's just — it's just, it's asking for something stupid, it isn't cool at all ...

I don't want to do it.

... hell of a thing, risking somebody else to look cool.

[ but his voice is mild, almost without judgment. ]

It's okay.

... I'm sorry.

[ ............ ugh.

goin' for a hair ruffle. ]

Sorry's pointless, man. Princess said it was okay, I'm saying it's okay. Just take it, all right?
