Nikolai loved riddles. Everyone knew as much. However, for him to go THIS crashout over a game was kind of hilarious.

He just couldn't decipher that stupid word! How could he suck this much at a simple game of wordle with the Decay of Angels?!

Everyone had gotten it by now! How could this even be?!

"I hate this!" Nikolai complained. Maybe he was acting like a petulant child. Surely not, right? He was more mature than that. And he wanted to impress a certain someone sitting across from him.

"It's not that I don't know the answer, I simply refuse to answer. I do not obey the system like that." he said shortly after composing himself.

The truth was, he did not know the word. But he couldn't just make a fool of himself, not infront of the person he was trying to impress!

How would he get with his interest if he couldn't impress with anything?! So, he had to just make something up to sound sophisticated and smart.

"I don't follow the system."
