THE RESULTS ARE IN…

1st Place
Taipha: 17 Points!

"As if this needs explanation."
"Well, we cannot have the story without Taipha, and she is both the hero and the comedic sidekick."

2nd Place
Reed: 15 Points!

"She's obviously in love with Taipha and I find her side of their interactions adorable."
"…seems the most balanced and sane of the group, and the most outgoing."

3rd Place
Bayce: 10 Points!

"She's funny and loud."

Color Commentary from Sierra, the Goddess of Nekomata
…and here I am, reporting live from the winner's circle!

SIERRA: How awful does it feel to be just shy of the top three?

CHORA: Who are you.

SIERRA: What's it to you?

CHORA: To be honest, I feel neither bad nor good about it. I'm neutral.

CHORA: Besides, I still got 7 points. That's not bad, considering someone named "Sierra" only got…4 points.

SIERRA: HEY! That's not not respectable! I was somebody's favorite!

CHORA: Hm, someone called Sierra "our playful practical joke of a goddess."

SIERRA: Oh, those are fightin' words.

CHORA: …Uh…that person is for you, not against you.

SIERRA: Let's turn to the actual winners now. That was a tight race, wasn't it? Reed, aren't you eaten up with regret over your stolen victory?

REED: Haha, what?

SIERRA: If readers had only been voting for their number-one favorite character, you would have won! You received 4 first-place votes versus Taipha's 3.

REED: Sure, but it's just a friendly competition. We still value each other as people just as much as we did before this all happened.

TAIPHA: Meow. (translation: "I'm not even sure what happened.")

SIERRA: Oh, Earth strangers just ranked you from best to worst based on likability. Then we gave you gold medals for it.

BAYCE: Barf! That's so messed up I wish I hadn't learned about it!

SIERRA: Well, there you have it. Bayce literally said "barf." It's no wonder she received only a single number-one vote.

BAYCE: People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!

SIERRA: People shouldn't be asinine enough to build houses made exclusively of glass!

TAIPHA: …Meow?

REED: They're not related.
