Yes, yes, blood, sweat, and tears, and all that, but, as his eccentric, mustachioed grandad (who never wore an eye patch) would say, Value is sacrifice's dividends. All Elliot has to do is blindly outwit the timeless machinations of secret societies, learn the ways of the Pikirovateli, and smash himself into an Apical Frame at 71 miles per hour using only a density differential and a Mega-Helium Pocket Fly Suit.
