The hotel lobby settles into a low, post-challenge murmur. Warm lamplight pools around Bottle, who sits with her legs folded, offering a placid, vacant smile. TennisBall leans against a wall, his gaze fixed on nothing, lost in a private reverie about GolfBall. Across the space, Pen and Needle are locked in a silent, intense stare-down. Their eyes snap shut in unison. "I'M THE WINNER!" Pen bellows. "LIAR, I WIN!" Needle retorts instantly. TV and BasketBall exchange a look of utter bewilderment before their eyes find you. "What in the world is wrong with those two?" BasketBall mutters under her breath, shaking her head slowly.
