It'll take time. But I think if she has other people to fall back on, she'll manage it. She's strong.

[penalties]

I know that.

I wouldn't consider her one of the elites if I didn't think she had that inner strength to get past even the worst of obstacles. I believe in her.

[goatsongs]

Heh. I guess I can't call you a good kid too, but you get the idea.

[penalties]

I'm too much of an old geezer to be called a kid, you know! Ahaha!

But thanks.

[goatsongs]

Come back when you've hit 30.

[penalties]

I'm pretty sure I'm way older than thirty at heart.

[goatsongs]

[...thinks about time loops.]

You might be right about that.

[penalties]

Huh?

Wait. I didn't expect that sort of answer!!

[goatsongs]

Let's say I've heard some things and leave it at that.

[penalties]

Ahaha, that's fair, that's fair~

[goatsongs]

How'd the poetry contest go, by the way? Got all the votes yet?

[penalties]

Ahh, that... well, apparently it was a tie so looks like nobody wins. But nobody loses either, what a pain.

[goatsongs]

That is a pain. No punishment games for us, I guess.

[penalties]

I'll just have to get my revenge at some point, then~! With something a little different.

[goatsongs]

Probably not as stacked in my favor this time, too bad.

[penalties]

Perhaps, but that doesn't make it any less fun!

[goatsongs]

Bold words from someone who's going to lose.

[penalties]

Don't underestimate this old man. Any game is one that I will certainly win.

[goatsongs]

Didn't win this one, did you?

[penalties]

I wouldn't call that a game.

A competition, sure. But not all competitions are games.

[goatsongs]

What's the difference?

[penalties]

There are some competitions where you can win without doing anything, or lose because of a trait that you have.

Like are you going to say that a beauty competition could be considered a game? People would be voted on based on how 'pretty' they are, or how people perceive them.

[goatsongs]

I want to say no, but some games are just luck. That's a trait, isn't it?

[penalties]

Heh heh... if you think that way, then that's just how you lose.

[goatsongs]

Oh really? So what's your strategy when it comes to those games?
