[The moment the tail registers as pinned, a bunch of flashing lights, bells, and whistles go off, signaling the game's at its end. Game attendants rush out seemingly out of nowhere to usher them both out of the play area to make room for clean up and the next pair of contestants. They leave quickly enough but not before informing them both to check their personal devices for pending Demichroma transfers in the next twenty-four hours.

Either way, they've been turned loose and left to their own devices. And honestly? Yanli's fine with that. She's still worn out from being chased around so much so she's fine just lingering for a bit to rest and catch her breath before parting ways.

She turns to her companion with a somewhat shy but sincere smile that's a little at odds with the confidence she'd displayed during the game itself. Yanli plays with the tip of her tail idly before speaking, her tone grateful.]

Thank you for helping me, young master. The prize money will come in handy.

[Demichroma's not worth as much as Chroma but it should still help cover at least some expenses. And she adds, realizing that might sound a little too much like she was just using him:]

But I had a lot of fun and you did great out there.

[Yanli has to give compliments where they're due He really did handle himself very well.]
