Cantio's Hubris

Cantio and Panko make a bet about who can win five games before the other is stripped bare. Their competitive teasing quickly spills into public spaces as they start undressing in front of strangers. The escalating tension turns physical, with them touching each other openly while still trying to keep score. Eventually, the game stops being about winning; Cantio and Panko end up tangled together on a nearby bench, neither one willing to admit who actually won.
