Like many others, M.S. was very surprised. He couldn't figure out how this could be possible right now. This, however, became clear quite quickly, although it was equally surprising.
M.S., of course, was not surprised. He immediately realised who had done all this – and, most importantly, why. Everyone felt uncertain, even the direct participants of the events, but not M.S.
The first thing M.S. noticed was everyone's surprise at such a seemingly ordinary occurrence. On the other hand, it's easy to understand why it drew his attention.
As much as M.S. tried to startle others with such elaborate reasoning, it didn't work. It looked like his ideas, presented as brand new suggestions, had been well familiar to everybody for a long time. There is, of course, a feeling that everything was quite the opposite, however, in this case, it doesn't matter at all.
Naturally, that was absolutely wrong. M.S. expected something different, though everything ended well.
By the time the final version that satisfied everyone appeared, M. S. became interested in a complete opposite challenge.
That's where it all ended. Everything else was out of the question. It was a difficult decision for everyone, but everyone agreed that any questions regarding this decision would be automatically lifted.
It is crucial to understand that it couldn't have failed.
