Izan sighed, shaking his head slightly, already mouthing the words along with it, like he'd heard them too many times before.
"I know," he said. "You never can."
He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, staring down at the trophy resting beside him.

"But?" Izan questioned sharply while sitting upright with a curious expression on his face, mainly because in all his time of questioning, this was the first time that the system had offered something more than the usual, "I cannot tell you that."
[But I can tell you this.]
[You did not receive me by chance.]
[I came into existence because something refused to let go.]
