If you do not know what Exy is: second only to Quidditch, it is one of the best fictional sports I have ever had the privilege to stumble upon. However, Neil, is not the only one with secrets on the team. ![]() Neil’s lies will not hold up for long under the media attention his team is receiving, and the truth will likely get him killed.
