"Alex, I am seriously going to kill you. The next pearl is mine. Fuck. We should at least keep some pearls for the event. What the hell are you doing? What the hell are we doing? Bro will be mad if we screwed up this event. You are going to make us lose!" Rey shouted as he watched Alex gobble up the twenty-fifth pearl.

Rey's face contorted with equal parts fury and disbelief. "More options? What options? We're supposed to be winning this event. Bro, he is gonna flip out and divorce you, you crazy woman!"
