[ fio's right, anything she asks him will only be brushed off with his confidence: he doesn't need points, he's unable to die, he's the ultimate lifeform so there are no threats. if anything, he is the threat that everyone should be wary of. this young girl doesn't seem to understand that he wants nothing to do with her, but it's not even about "her"... somehow, unbeknownst to him, she frames it that he should value his life more.
the sentiment sounds familiar, one that he could easily place, but it makes him feel uneasy. his thoughts linger back to that young girl who would look down towards earth in both yearning and love. how she wanted those who existed upon it to be happy.
shadow decides to get up, wanting to leave her here because he's had enough. the moment he's ready to part from her, the spotlight falls upon the two where fio's voice registers onto the monitors hanging above. shadow lifts one hand, covering his eyes from the light as another settles down, almost blinding.
it's with a growl that shadow turns to the young girl, his feelings from before leaving instantly. ]
I don't dance.
[ he doesn't know if he even can, but the real reason? he doesn't want to take part in any of this, and this girl going out of her way to volunteer them both only irritates him more.
unfortunately for shadow, even raising his hand paired with fio is enough for them to qualify, the announcer cheering that they have found their final two participants. aliens of all sizes move to the side, allowing the long flight of stairs to be revealed to them so that they can walk down.
if only denying this were easy, because it doesn't take long for the crowd to usher them to go, that they want to see a show! ]
its emphasizing her anger!!
