Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Expanded six days ago from 255 B to 3298 B (12.93x), prose size 3312 B. The interesting part is having to go to the Olympics instead of school. I had some reservations about the hook's verifiability, but noticed the "could not attend" part refers to the school. Not much to say. ミラP@Miraclepine 15:40, 4 June 2026 (UTC)
