[The table is made from wrought iron in your team color; you can still see the other teams nearby, though of course their answers have been obscured. You can also see which knights have been placed with which team, as well as the multi-colored board next to Odile's chair.

In the center of the table is one item, and one item only. A glass box inscribed with two symbols: ♥ and X.]

There's a difference between giving up and making a choice. We weren't forced to give in. [ shrugs ] Though, that's my opinion since I've still got a backlog.

Giving up is always a choice. Being forced to give in is just plain losing. It's different.

This is giving up? I suppose it could be. I hadn't thought of it like that.

Re: [DISCUSSION]

It's giving up. There's no way to win being faithful the whole time. Weren't you paying attention?

Re: [DISCUSSION]

[adharma]

I was.

I guess I don't consider it giving up if I don't care in the first place. But if you'd rather win for winning's sake, then I suppose it's worth doing.

I don't mind losing . . . I just don't want to not try at all.

Re: [DISCUSSION]

[adharma]

. . . wouldn't not trying include not looking over the possibilities? Konatsu seems to have put a fair amount of thought into it, which is some kind of effort.
