The BLU on-joiners gloated as the round ended and they were victorious.

"Ahahaha. Where were you, Red? pathetic!"

"A foregone conclusion," said someone on Red.

"Stack," said a teammate.

"just admit that you got your assessssss kicked!"

Then, a Voice.

"I auto joined, out of respect, dear brothers. Why couldn't you?"

It was someone on BLU. The stackers were stunned. They were being challenged by one of their own.

"I am not one of you," said the Voice. "I don't feel guilty."

A million excuses flooded the microphones, arguing how they meant well, but friends come first.

"Yeah, yeah, we've heard it all before," said the Voice.

The BLU on-joiners became silent, perhaps for the first time.

"Stacked victories should remain silent victories," said the Voice.
