I dont understand if it's a topical battle or a battle with a topic. Topical to me would typically indicate a story or more prose-oriented piece typically not in relation to the opponent and focusing more on poetic aesthetic and less on competitive rhetoric. Lars did some stuff with his entry, but for the above reasons I'm gonna vote sin for his vocab, story telling and I guess for being more on topic, idk. Lars got a few votes so let's keep it interesting.
Vote - sin
Lars up 3-1
