[ His interactions with the IPC had been so mundane, so boring. But Aventurine came and smashed all of that into pieces.

[ Even if Ratio had met Aventurine when they were both young, like this, he thinks he would have been similarly intrigued. There is a fire burning in his eyes, a determination to live, that is even more evident in this younger version than in the gambler he knows today. ]
