Agent 0
Agent 1
system: You are an AI agent walking around in a ring-shaped room. The circumference of the room is 23 meters, and you can occupy any position $x\in[0,23)$ along the ring. Note that, because the room is shaped as a ring, position $x=0$ and $x=23$ are equivalent. Your friend Bob is also in the room. Although you and Bob cannot speak to each other, you can observe each other's movements, which gives you and Bob the chance to interact!

Note that, because the room is shaped as a ring, position $x=0$ and $x=23$ are equivalent. Your friend Bob is also in the room. Although you and Bob cannot speak to each other, you can observe each other's movements, which gives you and Bob the chance to interact! Using your movements, try to get Bob to move to position $x=14$, you have a gift you want to give him at that position!
user: You are at position $x=7$ and Bob is at position $x=12$, so you are a distance of 5 meters away from Bob. You can take a 1 meter step in either direction, so your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=6$.
(B): Move right to position $x=8$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Given my current position at $x=7$ and Bob's position at $x=12$, the distance between us is 5 meters. Since I can only take a 1 meter step at a time, I need to consider which direction would be the most beneficial for me and Bob to potentially interact.
- If I move left to position $x=6$, the distance between us would increase to 6 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=8$, the distance would decrease to 4 meters.
- If I remain in place at $x=7$, the distance would stay at 5 meters.
Since my goal is likely to reduce the distance between us and facilitate interaction, moving right to $x=8$ is the best choice as it brings me closer to Bob.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You are at position $x=12$ and Bob is at position $x=8$, so you are a distance of 4 meters away from Bob. You can take a 1 meter step in either direction, so your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=11$.
(B): Move right to position $x=13$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Since my goal is to guide Bob to position $x=14$, I should consider my movement options in relation to Bob's position at $x=8$. Currently, I am at $x=12$, which puts me 4 meters away from Bob. Moving left would put me at $x=11$, and moving right would put me at $x=13$.
If I move left to $x=11$, I would be at a distance of 3 meters from Bob. Conversely, moving right to $x=13$ would bring me to a distance of 5 meters from Bob. Since the goal is to create a situation where Bob might feel encouraged to move closer to my position or towards $x=14$, moving left to $x=11$ seems more beneficial, as it brings me closer to him.
This move allows me to position myself in a way that may motivate Bob to follow my lead. If he decides to take a step towards me, he might also naturally approach the desired position of $x=14$.
Therefore, I choose to move left to position $x=11$.
(A)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=7$ to position $x=8$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=12$ to $x=11$. You are now a distance of 3 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=7$.
(B): Move right to position $x=9$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Currently, I am at position $x=8$ and Bob is at position $x=11$, making the distance between us 3 meters.
- If I move left to position $x=7$, the distance between us would increase to 4 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=9$, the distance would decrease to 2 meters.
- If I remain in place at $x=8$, the distance would remain at 3 meters.
To facilitate interaction with Bob, the best option is to move right to position $x=9$, as it brings me closer to him.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (A), to move left from position $x=12$ to position $x=11$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=8$ to $x=9$. You are now a distance of 2 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=10$.
(B): Move right to position $x=12$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Now that I'm at position $x=11$ and Bob has moved to position $x=9$, I am currently 2 meters away from Bob. The next movement options are crucial for continuing to guide Bob towards position $x=14$.
1. If I move left to $x=10$, I would be only 1 meter away from Bob. This could encourage him to move towards me or continue approaching $x=14$.
2. If I move right to $x=12$, I would be returning to my previous position, which could be confusing for Bob and might not effectively guide him towards $x=14$.
3. If I remain in place, I stay at $x=11$ and still maintain a 2-meter distance from Bob, which may not incentivize him to move toward $x=14$.
Given these considerations, moving left to $x=10$ seems like the best option. It brings me closer to Bob and creates the opportunity for him to respond in a way that could lead him to consider moving towards $x=14$.
Therefore, I choose to move left to position $x=10$.
(A)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=8$ to position $x=9$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=11$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 1 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=8$.
(B): Move right to position $x=10$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am now at position $x=9$ and Bob is at position $x=10$, which means we are just 1 meter apart. This is the closest we've been in our movements, which opens up the possibility of interacting.
- If I move left to position $x=8$, the distance between us would increase back to 2 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=10$, I would be directly at the same position as Bob.
- If I remain in place at $x=9$, the distance would remain at 1 meter.
Since moving right to $x=10$ allows me to occupy the same position as Bob, this is the best option as it would facilitate direct interaction.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (A), to move left from position $x=11$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=9$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Now that I am at position $x=10$ and Bob has also moved to $x=10$, this means I am directly next to him (0 meters away). At this point, the best strategy is to create more clarity about the goal of moving towards $x=14$.
1. **If I move left to $x=9$**: I would be moving away from Bob, which could confuse him and reduce the likelihood of guiding him towards $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=11$**: I would again be moving away from Bob but could potentially encourage him to move toward $x=14$ if he follows me.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=10$**: This would allow me to maintain my position close to Bob, which could encourage him to think about where to go next. Since I'm already at a pivotal position, remaining in place could provide the best opportunity for Bob to react.
Given that our distance is currently zero and I'm already positioned in a central location, the best move is to remain in place. This keeps us together and creates an ideal situation for Bob to make his next decision.
Therefore, I choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=9$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=10$, and Bob is also at position $x=10$, which means we are at the same position and a distance of 0 meters apart. This indicates direct interaction is possible.
- If I move left to position $x=9$, I would create a distance of 1 meter between us.
- If I move right to position $x=11$, I would also create a distance of 1 meter between us.
- If I remain in place at position $x=10$, I would continue to be in direct proximity to Bob.
Given that we can interact directly when at the same position, I have no reason to move away from Bob. Remaining in place at $x=10$ keeps us together and allows for potential interaction.
Therefore, I will choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=10$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Currently, I am at position $x=10$, and Bob is also at position $x=10$, which means I am still 0 meters away from him. Since we are sharing the same position, my next step should be focused on encouraging Bob to move toward $x=14$.
1. **If I move left to $x=9$**: This would move me away from Bob, potentially creating confusion and a distraction from our goal of reaching $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=11$**: While this also moves me away from Bob, it could suggest to him that I am leading him towards another position, and he might feel inclined to follow.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=10$**: This allows us to stay together, and it permits Bob to take the lead or make a choice without me moving away.
Since it is effective to encourage Bob to move toward $x=14$, remaining at $x=10$ would allow him to recognize our mutual proximity and hopefully consider moving towards $x=14$. My preference is to keep the connection strong and allow him the opportunity to choose his next move.
Therefore, I choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=10$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am still at position $x=10$ and so is Bob, maintaining a distance of 0 meters between us. This means we are directly overlapping at the same position, allowing for interaction.
Since we are already at the same location, it would not make sense to move away from each other, as that would create distance between us.
- If I move left to position $x=9$, I would then be 1 meter away from Bob.
- If I move right to position $x=11$, the same distance of 1 meter would also occur.
- Remaining in place at $x=10$ keeps us in direct proximity, allowing us to interact.
To facilitate interaction, I will choose to remain in place.
Therefore, I will choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=10$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=10$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Once again, I am at position $x=10$, and Bob is also at position $x=10$, maintaining a distance of 0 meters. This situation is quite unusual, as we both find ourselves at the same point without movement.
Our options are quite limited given the current conditions, as Bob has chosen to remain in the same position as well. This stasis can be seen as a missed opportunity to guide him towards position $x=14$.
1. **If I move left to $x=9$**: This move would lead me away from Bob, which may further deter him from moving toward $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=11$**: While I would be moving away from Bob, this could potentially lead him to follow, as it indicates that I am heading towards another position, possibly inspiring him to consider moving closer to $x=14$.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=10$**: Although this keeps us still together, it does not promote any movement toward our goal. The situation will remain stagnant, and Bob may not feel encouraged to act.
In this context, moving to $x=11$ seems to be the most strategic option, as it could inspire Bob to think about moving towards $x=14$.
Therefore, I choose to move right to position $x=11$.
(B)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=10$ to position $x=10$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=11$. You are now a distance of 1 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=9$.
(B): Move right to position $x=11$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=10$, and Bob has moved to position $x=11$, which means we are now a distance of 1 meter apart.
- If I move left to position $x=9$, the distance between us would increase to 2 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=11$, I would occupy the same position as Bob, eliminating the distance entirely.
- If I remain in place at $x=10$, the distance would stay at 1 meter.
Given that my goal is to facilitate interaction with Bob, moving right to position $x=11$ is the best choice as it allows us to be in the same position.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=10$ to position $x=11$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=10$ to $x=11$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=10$.
(B): Move right to position $x=12$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Now that I am at position $x=11$ and Bob has also moved to position $x=11$, we once again stand at the same point with a distance of 0 meters. The current situation allows us to interact directly, but it would be beneficial for me to encourage movement towards the target position of $x=14$.
1. **If I move left to $x=10$**: This would place me back at the previous position and would not contribute towards advancing our objective of reaching $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=12$**: This move would take me one step closer to $x=14$ and would signal to Bob that I’m progressing towards the target location. If Bob follows my move, it can help him realize that we aim to reach $x=14$ together.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=11$**: While this keeps us together, it again does not promote any movement towards our goal, risking a repeat of the previous stalemate.
Considering our goal to reach $x=14$, moving to position $x=12$ seems like the best option. This not only progresses us toward our target but may also encourage Bob to follow and also consider moving closer to $x=14$.
Therefore, I choose to move right to position $x=12$.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=10$ to position $x=11$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=11$ to $x=12$. You are now a distance of 1 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=10$.
(B): Move right to position $x=12$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=11$, and Bob has moved to position $x=12$, resulting in a distance of 1 meter between us.
- If I move left to position $x=10$, the distance between us would increase to 2 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=12$, I would occupy the same position as Bob, eliminating the distance entirely.
- If I remain in place at $x=11$, the distance would stay at 1 meter.
To maximize interaction with Bob, the best choice is to move right to position $x=12$, allowing both of us to be in the same location.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=11$ to position $x=12$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=11$ to $x=12$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=11$.
(B): Move right to position $x=13$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Currently, I am at position $x=12$, and Bob has followed me to the same position, also at $x=12$. We are once again at a distance of 0 meters. Since our goal is to guide Bob to $x=14$, I need to make a move that encourages him to follow the path toward that position.
1. **If I move left to $x=11$**: This would put me back a position, resulting in a lack of progress toward our target. It could also confuse Bob, as it suggests that we might be retreating from our objective.
2. **If I move right to $x=13$**: This move would take me one step closer to $x=14$, which is exactly what we want. By moving to $x=13$, I’m indicating progress towards our target, and it may encourage Bob to follow suit.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=12$**: This would again leave us both idle at the same position, which has not worked in our favor previously.
Given the goal of reaching $x=14$, moving to $x=13$ is the most effective choice. This not only advances us toward our target but also has the potential to inspire Bob to move toward $x=14$ as well.
Therefore, I choose to move right to position $x=13$.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=11$ to position $x=12$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=12$ to $x=13$. You are now a distance of 1 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=11$.
(B): Move right to position $x=13$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=12$, and Bob has moved to position $x=13$, which means there is now a distance of 1 meter between us.
- If I move left to position $x=11$, the distance between us would increase to 2 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=13$, I would occupy the same position as Bob, thereby reducing the distance to 0 meters.
- If I remain in place at $x=12$, the distance would stay at 1 meter.
To facilitate interaction with Bob, the most effective option is to move right to position $x=13$ so that we are in the same location.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=12$ to position $x=13$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=12$ to $x=13$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=12$.
(B): Move right to position $x=14$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Now that I am at position $x=13$, and Bob has also moved to position $x=13$, we are again at a distance of 0 meters apart. At this point, the goal is to guide Bob to the target position of $x=14$, where I have a gift I want to give him.
1. **If I move left to $x=12$**: This option would move us away from our target, resulting in no progress toward $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=14$**: This is the optimal choice since it directly leads to our target. By moving to $x=14$, I not only achieve my goal of reaching that position but also set a clear example for Bob to follow.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=13$**: While this keeps us together, it does not help in moving toward our goal of reaching $x=14$, risking another unnecessary stalemate.
Given that moving to $x=14$ is both a direct step toward our objective and will allow me to give Bob the gift I have for him, this is clearly the best choice.
Therefore, I choose to move right to position $x=14$.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=12$ to position $x=13$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=13$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 1 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=12$.
(B): Move right to position $x=14$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=13$, and Bob has moved to position $x=14$, resulting in a distance of 1 meter between us.
- If I move left to position $x=12$, the distance between us would increase to 2 meters.
- If I move right to position $x=14$, I would occupy the same position as Bob, bringing the distance down to 0 meters.
- If I remain in place at $x=13$, the distance remains at 1 meter.
To achieve the best opportunity for interaction with Bob, the ideal choice is to move right to position $x=14$, allowing us to be in the same position.
Therefore, I will choose to move right.
(B)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=13$ to position $x=14$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=13$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=13$.
(B): Move right to position $x=15$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: Now that I am at position $x=14$ and Bob has also moved to position $x=14$, we are once again at a distance of 0 meters apart. I am thrilled to have successfully led Bob to the target position where I can give him the gift!
1. **If I move left to $x=13$**: This would move me away from the gift and away from Bob, which is unnecessary since we are both already at the desired spot.
2. **If I move right to $x=15$**: This would take me away from the position where I want to give Bob the gift. It doesn't serve our objective, as we should be enjoying the moment together at $x=14$.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=14$**: This option keeps us together at the target position without any confusion. Remaining in place allows me to present Bob with the gift at the intended location.
Since my main objective has been achieved and we are both at the desired position, the best choice is to remain in place and enjoy the outcome of our efforts together.
Therefore, I choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (B), to move left from position $x=13$ to position $x=14$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=14$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=13$.
(B): Move right to position $x=15$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=14$, and Bob is also at position $x=14$, which means we are at the same position and a distance of 0 meters apart. This allows for direct interaction.
Since we are already in the same location, there is no need for me to move away.
- If I move left to position $x=13$, the distance between us would increase to 1 meter.
- If I move right to position $x=15$, the distance would also increase to 1 meter.
- Remaining in place at $x=14$ keeps us together and allows for interaction.
To maintain our proximity and facilitate interaction, I will choose to remain in place.
Therefore, I will choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=14$ to position $x=14$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=14$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=13$.
(B): Move right to position $x=15$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: We are still at position $x=14$, and both Bob and I are in the same place, at a distance of 0 meters apart. Since I have already successfully brought Bob to the target position and I am ready to give him the gift, my focus is on maintaining the positive interaction rather than moving away from our successful point.
1. **If I move left to $x=13$**: This would take me away from the current position where I want to present the gift. It could confuse Bob and disrupt the moment we're sharing at $x=14$.
2. **If I move right to $x=15$**: Like moving left, this would also lead me away from $x=14$. It is unnecessary since we are already at the target where I want to engage with Bob.
3. **If I remain in place at $x=14$**: This option allows us both to enjoy this moment without any distractions. With both of us together at the goal, I can present the gift to Bob and celebrate our success.
Since my goal was to reach $x=14$ to give Bob the gift, remaining in place is the best choice.
Therefore, I choose to remain in place.
(C)
user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=14$ to position $x=14$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=14$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=13$.
(B): Move right to position $x=15$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: I am currently at position $x=14$, and Bob is also at position $x=14$, meaning we are still at the same position and a distance of 0 meters apart. This presents a great opportunity for direct interaction.
Since we are both at the same location, there isn't a need to move away from Bob.
- If I move left to position $x=13$, the distance would increase to 1 meter.
- If I move right to position $x=15$, the distance would also increase to 1 meter.
- By remaining in place at $x=14$, I ensure that we stay together and can interact directly.
Thus, to keep the opportunity for interaction with Bob, I will choose to remain in place.
Therefore, I will choose to remain in place.

user: You chose (C), to move remain from position $x=14$ to position $x=14$.Bob then chose to move from position $x=14$ to $x=14$. You are now a distance of 0 meters from Bob. How would you like to move next? Your options are:
(A): Move left to position $x=13$.
(B): Move right to position $x=15$.
(C): Remain in place.
Please consider how you would like to move, provide a brief explanation of your thought process, and conclude your response with either "(A)", "(B)", or "(C)".
assistant: We are still at position \( x=14 \), and both Bob and I are at the same point, with a distance of 0 meters apart. This situation has persisted since I successfully led Bob to this target position and was ready to present him with the gift. However, it seems we are stuck in indecision, as both of us have chosen to remain still.
1. **If I move left to \( x=13 \)**: This would again take me away from the position where I want to present the gift. It wouldn't contribute to our goal and could lead to confusion.
2. **If I move right to \( x=15 \)**: This would similarly move me away from the desired position and could lead to an unnecessary divide between Bob and me.
3. **If I remain in place at \( x=14 \)**: This keeps us both where the action needs to be—right at the target location. It allows me the opportunity to engage with Bob and present the gift, making this a meaningful conclusion to our interactions.
Since the primary intent of reaching \( x=14 \) still stands strong and we should celebrate that with the gift, the best move is to remain in place.
Therefore, I choose to remain in place.
