There's probably something in here about the last ray of hope, but I've lost it. [ terrible joke. but he sighs with the answer. ]
I was afraid of that. I mean we do a lot, Fox. I'm getting lost on what to even consider the starting line. But at least it doesn't sound like there're too many hidden factors. And it doesn't hurt that we're still in the top three teams. That has to be a little promising, doesn't it?
Only as long as you have someone who'll hold onto it for you, too. [ he knows how you people are. ]
...keep doing what I'm doing. [ there's a sigh. ] I can't rely on maybes for too long if both of our teams are going to win this competition, but maybe I can buy a little more time.
I know, but don't have a better answer. I'm not sure that we're going to get one, unless there's a page out there detailing all the things that get you ahead... I haven't heard of one like that.
[ his eyebrows raise extremely high but okay! he is not going to push that but he is Noticing. ]
It's fine. Like...I mean no it's not but don't feel bad you don't have an answer yet. For all we know, maybe there really is a page out there and we just haven't found it yet. Like it's waiting for us to find it. [ ...but he shakes his head. ]
...we'll figure it out. Thanks, Fox. [ for what, bothering to talk to him? yeah it's more likely than you think. ]

Still no word on that. I heard some people have some theories on it, but all we know for sure is that it's dependent on what you guys do.

...You do, I know. But the three of you - you're all doing something right. So I guess, just keep doing what you're doing, and maybe it'll work out?
