"Hey, what are you doing?" Leoia Arrows

"Playing tetris," Pete says, not breaking his focus from the game screen.

Leoia Arrows looks at the screen. Pete is playing fairly well, not a pro or anything, but clearly someone who has spent countless hours playing.

"You are pretty good at this," Leoia says.

Pete says, "Thanks, I play it a lot."

Again, Pete doesn't even look away from the game screen.

Leoia is watching the screen as Pete continues playing very well, matching the blocks to fit together.

Leoia says in horrified realization, "The next shape is going to ruin everything."

Pete questions, "What do you mean? I got it under control."

Leoia says, "You don't understand, it's going to be an L and you have nowhere to put it."

Sure enough, an L block comes and Pete has nowhere to put it.

"I'm so sorry," Leoia says.

Pete responds, "It was just bad luck."
