Ning felt as if his heart had been ripped out of his chest by pliers watching the unfortunate event fold out in front of him.

What had he done to deserve this? What had he done to have this tragedy befall him? This was not what he wanted to have happened from the decision he had made. 

The outcome was supposed to be a good one, and yet… why had life treated him this badly? He could feel the tears threatening to leave his eyes, and today he wanted to let it flow.

He wanted to let such incredible sadness flow out of him, let it devour the others who saw it as well.

Emma saw him in pain, saw him holding back the tears, and could only sigh in disbelief.

Not a single one of the bets Ning had made on the upcoming matches panned out at all. He lost every single one of them.
