[ You find yourself in an interrogation room, one in relative shambles - the one-way mirror across the room is intact, but the one light above the table flickers on and of at random.

You're alone at first, but soon someone bursts into the room. At a glance it's evident that this person is meant to be a detective, as they're dressed in a trenchcoat and deerstalker hat.

They walk across the table from you and slam their hands down on the table. ]

Are you ready to talk now, "Tiger"?

We haven't had a great track record with them since that bad game with Yaksinis. This doesn't help.

I know.

But letting that guilt affect how we play simple games doesn't help either. They're going to play how they're going to play. We should give them a fair match.

[grits teeth and

doesn't say anything, why bother, her feelings are stupid and complicated and only affect her]

Hydra...

[ Well, now he just feels like shit and he is in no headspace to fix it. He's just going to slump heavily against the wall and run a hand agitatedly through his hair.]

she has no idea how to properly sulk, though, especially when someone else is unhappy, so she'll speak up quietly after a few minutes]

....I don't agree with what you guys want to do, but I can't say that you're wrong, either. This just isn't a game where....where I can think clearly about stuff like wanting to win, and having a fair match. There's too many different feelings tied up in all of this. So....I think I should stay out of this one.

Does that make sense?

[ He just sounds tired and deflated. ]

... I think Lace's idea will help. You can still have your say, Hydra.

I'm not saying your feelings are wrong. And you're right, there is more of this on you than the rest of us.

You guys want to win more than I do. It's....a harmless game, so that's all that's supposed to matter.

My say isn't going to change. So, it's fine.

... if we're going to win, I want to do it right. Otherwise, it doesn't mean anything.

Do it right?

We're a team, aren't we? If winning makes one of us feel like they're not part of that, it's not winning.

I want you to have your say. Because how you feel is just as important as how we feel.
