    Summary

    "Maybe it’s just that everybody else’s comfort zones are bigger than yours is to begin with, that they are inherently more than you without even having to try. You’ve never seen any of them sweat, after all, never seen them hesitate the way you know you do."

    Being second best is harder than it looks, but for Hau, it's more of a state of mind, a way of life, than an unfortunate relegation. Somehow, almost nobody else seems to have noticed. (Until, one day, someone does.)

    "Once, when you were small, your grandfather bounced you on his knee and told you, 'You don’t win the silver, Tili, you lose the gold. If you come in second place, you’re the first loser. Never forget that.'

    You never did. When Ahi, Moon’s incineroar, takes down your decidueye, Macadamia, with a powerful darkest lariat atop Mount Lanakila, immortalising herself as Alola’s first Champion and you as the runner up, someone not strong enough to be the best, you wonder if your life would be better if you had."
