[the tragedy of charles: a terrible three part musical]

I would have played to win, naturally. You're likely being offered something precious to you as an incentive, yes? I've seen it done before. Something like "if you win this game, your most precious person will return to you" or "play this well and you can undo that horrid thing you did in the past".

At any rate, I was also offered an incentive so I played to the best of my abilities. I'm not so foolish to believe anything that happens here will be a permanent stain on our existences, though.
