It's far from the first time she's had this conversation with Wade. Even if she knows it's how he makes his money, playing the villain or the hero, garnering bets and sponsors, it still twinges to know that it's possible she won't see him again this time.
They both know that his luck will eventually run out, but like always, she hopes it won't be this time.
... this time it's worse, though- she knows more than one person going in. It's not the first time it's happened, or the second. Or the third.
"Nah, you really can't." Ellie composes herself. "Got a lot of people with bets riding on you?"
