Hedy tried to get her head back in the game when she answered YingJue's question, "I uh... I have no idea. It's like Cuba guy managed to mow him down like a Ball." Hedy knew there was no other way for her to describe it. Even with a description so accurate she wasn't able to decide what would cause Kartal to perform below his average abilities. "The mobile armor was a challenge for sure but he should have at least been able to show some resistance before going down. There's got to be something going on with him."

"Couldn't get any thing this time around. Guess I'll have to see if there's anything else I can work with in then next round." Even with everything that happened to Kartal, there was no way Brian could be suspected for cheating this time but he continued to ponder ways he would be able to. It's not like anyone would have been able to guess so when he was simply standing by himself in the waiting room.
His concentration was broken when the Schwarz Bruder cosplayer greeted, "Alright another round another victory! Hey Dave, do you think you could get me a chance to meet with Ms. Germany so I can congratulate her?"
"Go embarrass yourself dude. I've got enough to wade through."
"Woah, you're right. I've got to congratulate her myself!" The cosplayer made his way towards this goal and left Brian thankful for another chance to not listen to his cheerleader's comments.

The tournament had eneded for the day when the contestants went to meet with their various gathering locations and Hedy and YingJue left as well. She found Kartal nearby when she decided, "It wouldn't be right to leave him by himself." She turned to YingJue when she offered, "I understand if you don't feel up to it, but right now I just want to make sure he's okay for now." Hedy cleared her throat when she asked, "H-Hey Kartal... So uh... I guess not everybody is able to handle a sudden change of techniques. I take it the X-Divider just wasn't that easy of a gunpla to work with?"
