Staring

rather confused as I stood atop a cloud, high up in the sky. That is, until I noticed a large, human-like figure appear before me in a holy light. He raised his hands and smiled down at me before bellowing out, “Behold, for it is I; Gabe Newell!” Staring up at our lord and savior, I basked in his glory as he grinned at me. “I have chosen you for the ultimate reward, my son,” he said, causing me to gasp, “for the next twenty-four hours, you may do whatever pleases you!

confirm his findings. He could use the data collected to support his prediction by stating that infants stared at both outcomes for about the same time, distinguishing no differences.
