Haruto and Esamu stood side by side, arms draped on each other's shoulder, when Naoto came down the rope, his face clouded with sadness.
Haruto turned to Naoto, looking at him with confusion clear in his eyes while Naoto met his gaze with a mix of anger and sorrow.
"Number Twenty-two And Forty-six are heading to the Smiley Face Games!" Void's voice echoed, loud and excited.
Suddenly Shinji stood up on his feet and charged at Naoto, with fury burning in his eyes, he seized Naoto by his neck, "You fool! Why did you help him!" he roared, his frustration boiling over.
Naoto angrily shoved Shinji back, sending him crashing to the ground, "You really thought that I'd cheat for a victory?" he shouted at Shinji.
Shinji's rage erupted, as he leaped to his feet, landing a swift punch squarely at Naoto's face who crashed on ground, with his frustration boiling over as he began kicking Naoto's prone form.
