Side Story: At the table (b)

"This shit is too broken!" John stood up from his seat, an overly exaggerated expression on his face. Pointing at Theo, he said, 'With all the special skills in his possession, he is already a cheat! Giving him the flag is the same as killing off his shortcomings and making him perfect! I barely caught up to him after winning this item, but now he is again way above me" His dream to beat the crap out of Theo shattered into pieces, making him so upset that he chugged down an entire bottle of alcohol, only to slam it on the table with such force that it cracked. Right at that moment, he hissed, "Bitter!"

Elliot confirmed that what John found bitter was the alcohol and also the fact that he didn't let him get the flag.

"I'm bitter." John confirmed his thoughts, "It would've been better if you gave it to me," he cried out after understanding the true value of the flag.
