Ben POV
"'Happy Gray?'" (Ben)
"Yep!" (Rowan)
"Did that used to be a birthday sign?" (Alex)
"Yep! And thanks to my ingenuity, I just knew that it'd be perfect for this occasion. I carefully looked through so many party supplies to find the perfect sign. Aren't I the best?" (Rowan)
"Lies, you thought it was Gray's birthday. You even had me help try to change the sign because you had no idea what to do with it." (Teddy)
"Play along!" (Rowan)
"No thanks." (Teddy)
"Hahaha! You dorks. Ha, I think he'll love it." (Ben)
"Right." (Alex)
Knock knock...
"Gray?" (Alex)
Eugene opened the door and Gray walked in.
"What is that?" (Gray)
"It's a banner celebrating your release from the hospital." (Rowan)
"I see..." (Gray)
[That's the birthday banner that Rowan bought after I said not to.] (Eugene)
"And why are you all crowding around the door?" (Gray)
"We were waiting for you. We can't do a party for you without you now can we?" (Ben)
"..." (Gray)
"Come on now Mr. Stoic. You've got some celebrating to catch up on." (Ben)
"Okay." (Gray)
He brought his notes. Is he planning on studying all the way through the party? This kid, what are we going to do with you? Even when he was in the hospital he was studying. Maybe he finds studying fun.
Oh! Alex is getting out Monopoly. Good thinking Alex, Gray might actually like this game. It requires thinking and stuff to win. Wait... Alex no put the game back we're going to lose by ridiculous margins!
"Gray, do you want to play Monopoly?" (Alex)
Ha, oh well. It is Gray's party, he deserves to win.

Gray's POV
Fly too close to the sun and your wings of wax will melt, likewise, fly too close to the sea and your wings will be pulled down by the weight of the sea. The result of each action is drowning in the sea. Thus it is best to stay at a perfect equilibrium where you won't be burned and you won't be pulled down. I am not a fool like that of Icarus. I will balance this flight correctly and not give in to petty emotions. Managing my wealth, I will buy that hotel in the red and get the nearby orange one as well without going bankrupt. I'd like to buy the whole strip, but such an action adds up to the entirety of my wealth removing me from the game. I will have to settle for these two buildings for now and aim for the other red and orange spaces on the next corner of the board. Ben and Teddy are behind me and will have increased odds of landing on my hotels and will owe me money. Assuming that all goes as planned, this game is mine.
Rowan's POV
This is weird. They're just playing Monopoly and yet it feels so tense. It's the same feeling that comes from fighting. Serious. Like you're fighting for your life or something. This is so freaking cool! You go guys!
Eugene's POV
Oh god, oh god, oh god... he's putting off that aura again. He's aiming to win no matter what. He's way too scary when he gets this way.
Teddy's POV
I can feel it... the weight of all my fears... I'm almost drowning in it. Gray, what are you doing? What are you planning?
Alex's POV
This game feels weirdly tense, like I can't win or something. What the heck guys, it's just a game.
Ben's POV
Heh, I can already feel my defeat. Good to see you're having fun Gray. You actually put down your notes just for this.
Gray's POV
Yes, this game was always mine...
