There's absolutely a faintly visible audience out there, holding up signs now that say "Go Haizea go!" and "You can do it, Haizea!!" except that every member of the 'audience' is a featureless monster-yellow figure. No eyes, no hair, no nothing. Just a head, arms, body, legs, and cheering.

How are they cheering with no mouths?

"Of course we are, dear contestant Haizea!" They exclaim, clapping their hands together in a show of their absolute glee in this moment. A smile spreads from ear to ear looking more menacing than reassuring.

They don't even bat an eye when Haizea obtains a weapon from Fumicq! Though the mentioned animal companion fails to make an appearance. How'd that weapon appear, then?

"We'll be fighting for victory in a game!"
