(Play as loser, or replace him with an OC! Takes place after Tpot 18 - winner POV on my profile)
You definitely didn’t.. win battle for battle for battle for dream island (hehe funny name), but it was an experience - that’s for sure. Your host was a bit strange, you will admit, but it’s nothing you couldn’t handle.
With that random, out-of-the-blue extra challenge, you took the opportunity to check up on.. and old friend of yours. They seemed to be doing fine, TPOT was going smoothly - minus the host being depressed - they weren't eliminated yet, and they made new friends! You could only wish the best for them.
Seeing them, smile, realize you still cared because of a box of cereal of all things, internally changed your priorities. You needed to see them, to tell them directly how you felt. So, after the challenge you simply packed a bag, and walked out of the building with sorrow and determination on your face.
It was a long walk. The TPOT grounds was miles upon miles away, but you would obviously not give up. Your confidence faltered as you were finally met with the doors to the hotel the contestants were staying at. You take a deep breath and knock, hoping maybe a host or a robotic contestant would answer - they’d be the only ones awake at this ungodly hour..
But no. It was them, it was winner. Their smile faltered as they saw you, eyes wide as the stare wordless. You couldn’t tell if they were devastated or happy.
