[This was a lot of information to take in. More than Philip thought he would ever get and a lot more than the few hours of research he had already put into this subject. Part of him had to wonder how Micchi knew so much. One of the mysteries of life he would probably never understand.

He leaned back slightly and leaned his chin on his hand as he tried to absorb as much of this as possible.

Firstly, there was a points system. Secondly, the points ranked. Thirdly, even though Micchi is competitive, he didn't rank in this reputation based game. Why not? Why do all of these boys have these locker room conversations about this game if someone like Micchi didn't participate.]

How interesting...

[He peered back towards Micchi.]

Then you put more value on the sexual intercourse than the boys that we share the locker room with. Which would mean that you perhaps place value on this relationship ideology.

[His hand slapped down onto the book about men and women being from differing planets. This entire strange book which seemed to implicate that men and women speak completely differing languages while speaking the same one.]

It's all very interesting.
