...I don't mind a rival.

Rivals can make you work harder. Together.

[ as long as it stays friendly and not murder-y. ]

Oh...

Yeah! I guess that is a good kind of rival to have.

I just mean... I don't want to get ahead by pulling other people down.

Yeah. ...It's too soon to give up. [ on alternatives, and the competition. ] I guess that makes us rivals.

[ in a good way ]
