Probably we need to do more trials of our own. Or even just more group get-togethers, like a dinner or something, as long as someone can count it for sparks.

We're such a small group, but we really don't know each other that well, and we need those sparks.

Um, well, so far Naeva's the only one who's done one. But if you come up with a competition or a game to host, then that's a way to make sparks. There's more for winners, but everyone gets a few hundred sparks.

It used to be that the Prince's court were the only ones doing the trials, but... Even if they were supposed to be about making bonds, some of them were dangerous or cruel.

It was supposed to be a moral lesson. It was stupid. They were all stupid.

Apparently that guy was sick with the Malice's influence, but that doesn't excuse some of the other jerks— Did you hear about the Dragon's trial?

It was one of the earlier ones. Smile and Saber were still around then— they're little kids. Twelve, tops. All the teams had someone strung up over lava, and the volunteers were lowered based on the level of sacrifice we picked. Nobody got too injured, but the kids would have had to watch that.

Except, they were temporarily blinded in a round.

Also, all the sacrifices were done by cutting your partner with a knife.

I don't know, but they're all like that! Creepy mirrors! Looming towers! Actual crowns of thorns tying you to a throne!
