Reis for sure planned to be proud. And annoyingly boastful. There was no doubt about him wanting to use this opportunity to poke at certain people. He had already imagined it in his head. The smug look. The inevitable comments. The chance to remind certain people that, yes, despite everything, he had managed to pull it off.

Reis realized it was neither soon enough.
