Reeve couldn't believe what he was seeing. Actually, no. It was more accurate to say that he couldn't believe what he wasn't seeing.
Just how fast were those sticks falling?!
The first one had been expected because they heard that sticks would be falling, sure, but even so, it still felt like a shock when it actually happened.
Fwip!
The sound was sharp and sudden, cutting through the stillness of the dome that resulted from people's curiosity.
They wanted to see what it meant to choose games based on their strengths.
But they didn't expect to see this kind of strength.
A single stick dropped from above, moving far too fast to be reasonable. See, Reeve was a civilian. And he could only pray that the falling stick was falling like that based on a personalized calibration.
Surely they can't possibly expect everyone to be able to catch any of that, right?
