[ Cisco doesn't know if it is because he's distracted, or because he has a head injury, but Harry calls Cisco by his first name. It makes Cisco feel the same rush of happiness that he does every time Harry pats his shoulder or ruffles his hair. Pathetic? Maybe. But he can't help it. ]
What you call 'cheap tactics' I call 'clever level design'. Nothing wrong with giving people a challenge, is there?
[ Cisco watches the screen as Harry plays through the level, only looking up occasionally at his face for any signs that this isn't working and he should find some better distraction. He keeps his suggestions to himself, letting Harry learn by trying the controls and making attempts, rather than offering advice, even though it's tempting. Harry gets a feel for it more quickly than Cisco was expecting - enough that he doesn't even begrudge him that smirk when he completes the level.
Taking the gamepad from him, Cisco searches quickly through the available levels that are marked as having a moderately high clear rate. There's something so normal about this; Cisco scoots a little closer, selecting a reasonable-looking level before handing the controls over once more. ]
Here, try this one, make sure to keep an eye out for the fire flowers.
