[Network] "Victory"

[undyingcrow]

To whom it may concern, my Ren and I have completed our duel.

Though the battle was arduous and presented many challenges, I won where it matters most.

Remove Personas from the equation, and my alluring qualities were far too much to resist. I came out of that fight with more than I anticipated, turning the tables effortlessly after withstanding Ren's most powerful Personas.

Sometimes, it is the aftermath of the initial battle that determines one's true strength. There are many ways toward victory.

I've permanently etched myself into his heart and mind. Funny, when he's the one so famous for stealing hearts.

[Those fluent in Akechese may be able to pick up that he didn't win the actual fight, but shh.

He's not just going to say that.]

[undyingcrow]

Let me guess. Another "Wild Card"?

[wipingallout]

✧✧ Pinpon! ✧✧

I guess all Wild Cards have to forge strong bonds to be good leaders!

[undyingcrow]

Well, I do need to forge new bonds if I'm to outdo Ren at his own game.

He had a head start, but I won't be deterred.

[wipingallout]

THAT'S THE SPIRIT!!

I'm gonna friend you so hard

[undyingcrow]

You're spirited, aren't you?

So eager, when you know so little about me.

[wipingallout]

You just posted bragging about getting a boyfriend

I've never related so much to a guy's socmed post in my life

[undyingcrow]

[The thing is, she's not wrong.

That is essentially what he did, just disguised with poetic phrasing and plausible deniability.]

What, are you guilty of such gloating?

[wipingallout]

It's been a while but yeah! ꉂ (′ ॢꇴ ॢ‵๑))

When you first hook up there's always that exciting feeling!!

[undyingcrow]

The 'exciting feeling' in this case was getting one over on my rival.

Turning the tables.

[wipingallout]

AH HUH YEAH

I'm sure it had noooothing to do with getting to smooch a cute boy!!

[undyingcrow]

It was certainly interesting. Not the direction I expected our duel to go, by any means.

[wipingallout]

Trust me it NEVER GETS OLD it's good every single time!!!

[undyingcrow]

My, you're passionate about this, aren't you? A romantic at heart, perhaps?

[wipingallout]

꒰⁎˃ ॢꇴ ॢ˂⁎꒱➴ෆ⃛

YES!

It's one of the best things life has to offer!! Right there with friends and family!!!!!!

[undyingcrow]

It always seemed like such a rose-tinted fantasy, to be frank.

But I suppose I'd be a hypocrite to pass judgment at this point.

[wipingallout]

It always feels so distant and impossible until you get blindsided by a really meaningful friendship or a romantic connection. It's wonderful.
