A silver parachute drifts slowly to the ground. A medium sized box is attached with a note from mentor Glitter Rosseau. Inside is a large meal. The note reads: “Be careful who you trust.”
The parachute falling slowly at his feet made him smile with joy for the first time in the arena, flattered and suddenly fascinated by the gifting process. He stood like that, assimilating the moment, for an extra second before picking up the silver box and the note. He didn’t hurry to open it and read the writing first, smiling enigmatically at the sky. It’s a good thing I don’t trust anybody then. He knew it was probably a hint at his partnership with Amphora, but she was honestly such a light worry that though he didn’t trust her at all, he did count on her not to be unpredictable and go behind his back. Maybe Glitter saw something he hadn’t on the screen. Maybe she knew what she was talking about. He wasn’t big on listening to other people, and his mentor’s advice was always ignored to this point, but he knew he couldn’t afford to ignore it now. The meal was very welcome, as his last visit to the cafeteria didn’t bring him any food. He saved two thirds of it for later, but knew it wouldn’t last long and that he had to finish it soon. Hiding the note for future reference in his backpack, he went further in the arena, hoping nobody saw the parachute land in his location.
