Heart Game: Intensity (Turn 2)
In the beginning, there is nothing but darkness and silence. A sleep that gives no rest but one out of necessity in order to keep functioning. Behind closed eyelids, the numbers of a clock tick down - one painstaking second at a time.
TIME UNTIL REBOOT:
And then you wake up.
As you shift to a standing position, you feel something sharp and pointed press against your side. Digging into the nearest pocket, you will find two small puzzle pieces. And from their odd shape, it looks like they would fit into a 3D spherical puzzle. Odd. You've never seen them before, but you do get a sense that these are a currency of some sort. Spend them wisely!
Game start.

Glory
You're sitting on the ledge of a tall skyscraper with Intensity, peering down to the seemingly endless stories below.]
It's the moment you realize you're two steps ahead of your opponent and they haven't caught on yet. The moment you take your own life in your hands and flip death off, knowing you're doing something reckless but also knowing that you're going to walk away from it laughing with your head held high. The moment you turn the tables on someone and the look of surprise on their face. The moment all the puzzles pieces fit after all the blood, sweat and tears you put into what others claimed impossible. That's what it means to fucking feel alive.
Well, feeling like a person is something like that. It's doing something because you want to, and no other reason. Weighing risks and then putting your money on what you believe in, no matter how impossible it seems or what anyone else thinks. Having someone look at you, and knowing they're seeing something that's a reflection of your efforts. Feeling like you have a connection with someone that wouldn't happen between anyone else.
You both jump. ]
