Karl is taken aback by the unexpected request to be the judge for the L'manburg presidential debate. He's honored, of course, but he's not sure if he's the best person for the job. After all, he's just a simple traveler, not a politician or a statesman.
But as he thinks about it more, he realizes that his unique perspective could be an asset. He's not tied to any particular party or agenda, and he can bring a fresh, unbiased perspective to the debate.
So he accepts the invitation, and he spends the next few days preparing for the event. He studies the platforms of the various candidates, and he reads up on the issues that are most important to the citizens of L'manburg.
Finally, the day of the debate arrives, and Karl takes his place at the center of the stage. The candidates stand before him, nervously awaiting his questions and judgments.
Over the course of several hours, Karl listens carefully to their arguments and evaluates their responses. He asks tough, incisive questions, and he challenges them to defend their positions.
Despite the intensity of the debate, Karl remains calm and composed throughout. He never loses his cool or his impartiality, even when the candidates become heated and emotional.
In the end, Karl announces his decision, and the citizens of L'manburg eagerly await the results of the election. Although Karl may have been a surprising choice for the role of judge, he proved to be an excellent one, earning the respect and admiration of everyone involved in the process.
Karl can't believe his eyes when he turns around and sees Quackity standing on the stage as one of the presidential candidates. He thought Quackity was still recovering from his injuries after his battle with Technoblade.
Karl's heart sinks as he realizes the gravity of the situation. He knows that Quackity is a formidable opponent, and his presence in the race will make things much more complicated.
But Karl is nothing if not impartial, and he resolves to judge Quackity's performance on its merits. He listens closely to Quackity's arguments, and he asks him the same tough questions he asked the other candidates.
To his surprise, Karl finds that Quackity is a skilled debater, with a keen mind and a quick wit. He may not agree with all of Quackity's positions, but he can't deny that he presents them in a persuasive and compelling way.
As the debate draws to a close, Karl finds himself in a difficult position. He knows that he can't let his personal feelings for Quackity influence his judgment, but he also knows that Quackity's presence in the race has thrown a wrench into the proceedings.
Finally, after much deliberation, Karl makes his decision. He announces the winner of the debate, and the citizens of L'manburg cheer in approval.
Quackity looks disappointed, but he's gracious in defeat. He congratulates the other candidates and shakes Karl's hand.
As the event comes to a close, Karl realizes that his experience as the judge of the debate has given him a newfound appreciation for the challenges of politics and leadership. He may be a traveler at heart, but he knows that he can still make a difference in the world, even if it's just by judging a presidential debate in a small word.
Sapnap's heart sinks as he watches Karl interact with Quackity after the debate. He sees the way they look at each other, and he realizes with a sinking feeling that there's something more between them than just political rivalry.
Sapnap feels hurt and betrayed. He had thought that he and Karl had something special, but now it seems that Karl's heart belongs to someone else.
Unable to bear the sight of them any longer, Sapnap turns and leaves the debate hall. He wanders aimlessly through the streets of L'manburg, his heart heavy with sorrow.
As he walks, he thinks back on all the memories he shared with Karl, all the adventures they had together. He wonders if it was all for nothing, if Karl's feelings for him were never real.
But eventually, Sapnap realizes that he can't keep dwelling on the past. He has to move on, to find his own path in the world, even if that means leaving Karl behind.
With a heavy heart, Sapnap sets off on a new adventure, determined to find his own place in the world, far away from the pain and heartbreak of his past.
