Chapter 5: Cool Down

Ariel woke up at four in the morning and managed to drag Hazel out of bed too. They had to leave early to go to the Transcendence Plaza.

The interviews were being held in a large local photo studio. Outside the door, there were already many employees trying to arrange the interviews in an orderly manner.

"Is there a difference?" Hazel almost collapsed.

"Of course!" Ariel said confidently, "We just doubled our chances of winning!"

Hazel and Ariel received two forms from the staff at the reception desk.
