Finding Lies
Ty, resting his head back against the cold, hard surface of the cell wall, replied, "That doesn't make it any less strange. I've also heard that people actually try to get into this event, right?

The old man's response was a light chuckle, his voice echoing slightly in the confined space. "You tell me, what do you think?" he posed the question back to Ty, an air of mystery lingering around his words.
Ty exhaled softly, a moment of clarity amidst the uncertainty. "Well, the funny thing is, it doesn't matter all too much. Because the more I think about it, being locked away in a cell for an entire day or so has given me more rest and calmness than I can say I've had since all this madness started."
