Shock [1]

"How long has it been since the two stopped moving?" 

Karl asked, his eyes fixed on the platform which had grown extremely quiet. All eyes were on the two contestants who stood on opposite ends, their faces and expressions frozen as they looked at each other. 

Despite neither side doing anything, tensions ran high. 

In the silence, everyone waited... 

Everyone waited for the inevitable shift that would occur.

Whoever came out on top was going to most likely be the winner. 

Karl bit his lips in anticipation, trying his best to calm his nerves. He wasn't sure why, but he was nervous. 

Something about the silence left him unsettled. 

Unable to hold for much longer, he turned his head to face Johanna. 

"Is there no way we can see what is going on between them?" 

".....No." 

Johanna answered, her eyes glued to Caius and Julien.
