Shion blinked at R as the words took a while to settle into his mind, then he raised an eyebrow. If he wasn't so panicked he would have laughed at the very idea of him winning an arena. He wasn't winning material, he wasn't even surviving material and had proved it twice now.

"Winning doesn't mean you get to go home." He blinked, because of course that was the other issue. Winning just meant you didn't have to go into the arena, winning didn't free you.

"If it did... Rat could win..." Not Shion, but if Rat won he could help them, he had been Elyrius' first choice after all.
