[WP] Your opponent has just won the championship, while you finished in second place. Shortly after the festivities, you walk down the hall, angry and disappointed with yourself, and find your opponent sitting on the floor with the trophy in hand and crying. | Take this, I don't want it!
The champion threw the trophy at my head. Luckily, I dodged just in time. The trophy made a mixture of noises as it fell to the ground and the wooden base detached from the metal of the trophy.

The champion started sobbing uncontrollably. Confusion... | Penny could not believe her eyes. She had been doing this for quite some time now, but the reaction speed of her opponent made her feel so small.
