• At the pest-infested cavern, Ling Sha proposed a one-moment contest to see who could exterminate the most pests, though she questioned whether everyone’s weapons suited a swordsmanship challenge.

• Tingyun revealed that Topaz and Aventurine had heard Scott’s insults, and they assigned him an extremely difficult company project as the price of another chance.
