Round 13: Kaelen threw a fake grenade sound (no actual nade — the server had abilities off, but the audio of the pin pull was real). Vaz dodged left. Kaelen was already there.

Vaz typed in chat: nice.

Winner: Kaelen.

Kaelen didn't reply. The server felt heavier. Every sound was amplified. Kaelen's hands were cold, but steady.
