The first mission had finally been announced. The director stood in front of all of us, smiling with the gleam of a mastermind who knew exactly how to stir chaos. "Welcome to the Compatibility Quest," he said, as if this wasn't a battlefield.
I stood beside Hugo, pretending to look calm, but deep inside, my heart was already sighing. Compatibility quest? Isn't this just a nice way of saying let's see who knows their partner better, and who should sleep near the toilets?
The director went on, "The higher your compatibility score, the better your accommodations for the entire season."
Then he started describing the prizes in excruciating detail.
First place would get a luxurious villa, with two bedrooms, a private bathroom with a bathtub in the master room, another bathroom outside, a fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining area, and even a private garden. Just listening to it made me want to fight for it. That place sounded like paradise.
