As promised, Tasha meets with Tomorrow's-Hope to engage him in a friendly, on-foot duel. The duel is overseen by Master-of-Technique and the Titan pilot host, including Archon Strength-of-Stones. While outmatched and aware of it, Tasha employs unconventional tactics, strategy, and calm to manage a draw, but knows she has much left to learn. Retiring to the relaxation room, Tasha and Tomorrow's-Hope engage in surprisingly intimate small talk as they enjoy a relaxing, muscle loosening massage.
