The bear robot started to circle around Bob, as though making a show out of its final moments.
It really looked like it was a hopeless situation for Bob and there wasn't any way for it to turn this situation around.
"Well, not surprising I guess," Someone muttered from nearby. "It's just another defeat for him."
"How many does this make it?"
"You mean this season or total?"
"Oh damn, just this season then?"
"This would be the fifteenth loss."
"How is he able to afford to repair it and even upgrade his battlebot after losing so many times?"
"Dude's probably taking out loans and got into debt…"
"Man… I don't know if I should pity him."
I tuned their conversation out and turned to Ries, "Guess we lost this bet after all."
However, Ries had a determined look in her eyes, "It's still not over yet, Boss! Look!"
