Speaking of attention...
It's a good thing Grace made the choice she did, because she's sure getting some attention.
Funnily enough, "determination" wasn't an Undertale reference (even if I did make a joke about it in the commentary).

To Stand Out or Not To Stand Out?
You choose to be yourself in public to the full extent you can possibly get away with.
It fills you with determination.

Hey, don't look at me! I'm just riding the wave of where this storyline takes me, and this is where it took me!
