The next day, around 6pm, I found us standing in the hallway once again. The results for the second day had been tallied, and as was now the usual fashion, we had to be here for the leaderboard to be released.
Nothing particularly eventful had occurred that day. We refrained from any information-gathering antics, opting instead to spend the day bonding and taking it easy in our room. It seemed like we had gotten a bit soft or worn out, but frankly, we didn't care. While I still harbored a desire for first place, it didn't hold the same weight it once did. I found myself lacking the motivation to chase after the top spot.
The results were released shortly, and it came as no surprise to see that Eleanor and I were still on top:
- The Team of Damon and Eleanor - 250 points.
- The Team of Olivia and Liam - 200 points.
- The Team of Ava and Ethan - 180 points.
- The Team of Sky and Noah - 175 points.
