it looked like, no matter what, every 1v1 was going to interrupted by a demon somehow. our MC got his interruption sooner because the game noticed he was manipulating the rules to cheat more info out of the AI bots. But he and Simon were both able to pass because they didn't reveal the info to the demon.
it feels off to read this probably both because of the lack of solid info presented in a linear way but instead scattered and hidden in dialogue that tghe MC overanalyzes to figure out what's going on, and we can't keep up? I'm pushing through because I'm getting just enough to really want to know what's going on, but if the pacing remains this fast and slapdash I might have to save my brain and give up...
