[Byleth considered the offer, and decided he had nothing to lose going along with it, so he nodded.]
...fine. I agree to your terms.
[Byleth fed his ticket into the machine and began to play. Everything seemed to go well at first. With his excellent coordination, he impeccably lined up the claw directly above the fish plushie, and as the claw lowered, opening its pincers, it looked as if it was going to nab the fish with little to not trouble. Like, it didn't look hard at all? Maybe he'd been exaggerated the hundred tickets claim?
But then...
The claw closed around the fish and began to rise... but due to the roundness of the fish, and likely the silky smoothness of its pelt, the fish was visibly slipping - but at a slow rate. There was more than enough time for the claw to finish rising and drop it into the receptacle, right?
No.
Because when the claw finished rising, it jolted slightly, and that jolt was enough for the fish plushie to slip free from the claw's grasp and land back into its original position, its :D face staring at them both.]
...
[Byleth just wordlessly looked at Shez, devoid of all emotion.]
