If he wins, he lives. But, every major piece he loses, a person that was close to him dies Really interesting to be reminded of that in this series of all places!

Yo this isn't entirely relevant to this specific video but since its your most recent as of right now i just wanted to comment saying how much i love and appreciate your videos. They've become a really comforting routine for me to watch before bed and even have playing as I fall asleep. I've recommended your main channel and Flophouse Plays to so many people now and i wish you the absolute best in whatever you want in life. Much love.
