     "AHHHHHH"
     Ena sat up as she heard screaming from her room. She ran down the hallway as she burst into the room to see chishiya and niragi getting dressed.
     "I see you two are awake..." she said as she leaned against the wall.
     "Why are we here, together" said chishiya as he zipped up his sweater.
     "You two insisted on sleeping here together, you guys stumbled into my room around 9ish and asked me to sleep in niragis office..." she said as she looked at them with a confused looked. "Why? What happened?"
     Niragi and chishiya looked at each other for a second.
     "NOTHING" they said in unison as they walked out the room.
     Ena closed the door and locked it as she sat on her bed, she burst out laughing as soon as she felt they were far enough.
     "I can't believe they bought it" she said as she layed back and looked at the ceiling. "Hopefully that will keep them busy for a while"
     Ena got up and walked over to her desk as she looked at the riddle again.
      "AS FAR AS THEY MAY SEEM, THEY ARE ALWAYS NEAR, ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT HAVE A CONNECTION, WE ARE ALL THE SAME, END THIS BEFORE WE LIE OR WE'LL HAVE TO START AGAIN"
     Ena sighed as she looked at the night stand and saw a walkie talkie. She picked it up as she began to think.
      *FLASH BACK*
     "Anytime you need me I'll be on this channel.." said kai as he handed her a walkie talkie.
     Ena nodded as she gave him a hug.
     "And I'll always be listening" she whispered.
     *END OF FLASH BACK*
     Ena looked at the walkie talkie as she began thinking. Although she knew he wouldn't be on the other end, she still thought is would be worth a try.
     "Congratulations you have found The Player, Congratulations you have found The player."
     This was being played on repeat on the channel as ena looked at the walkie talkie confused. She shut it off as she grabbed a pencil and wrote down the channel on her paper along with the message.
     "Ena can we come in?" Said usagi as ena got up and opened the door.
     Ena pulled usagi, kuina, and arisu in as she locked the door.
     "We came to tell you that we're going to give up on the Riddle, it honestly makes no sense and we rather enjoy the fact there is no need to play anymore." Said usagi as she looked at ena weirdly.
     "What, no, you guys can't quit since I just found another clue." Said ena as she held up the piece of paper. Arisu lowered her hand as he read the paper.
     "What does it mean?" He asked as usagi and kuina set down some bottles of liquor and opened them.
     "I'm not sure yet...but I feel like I'm close" she said as usagi poured her a glass.
     Ena took the glass as she set down the paper on her desk. She held up her glass as she took a sip.
     "Hey about earlier, what happened between you, niragi, and chishiya" said kuina as she took a drink as well.
     Ena choked on her drink a bit as usagi and arisu looked at her weirdly after the question.
     "It wasn't like that...I slept in niragis office, niragi showed up earlier and had a chat with me while and later I brought chishiya to rest." She said she shook her head.
     "What did you guys talk about" asked arisu as he served her another drink. Ena looked at his bracelet as he served her drink.
     "Something on why was chishiya so special" ena said as she stared at his and usagi's matching bracelets again.
     "What did you answer" asked kuina as ena looked up.
     "I didn't really answer" she said as she began to think. She walked over to her desk as they continued to ask her questions.
     "What would you have answered?" Asked usagi as they watched her confused.
     "Nothing" ena said as she walked over to her mirror with her papers and pulled her shirt to look at her scar. "Because they're the exact same"
     They walked over to her as they began to see something clicking in her head.
     "I UNDERSTAND, I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS" she said as she looked at them before walking over to the table and spread out the papers.
     "AS FAR AS THEY MAY SEEM, THEY ARE ALWAYS NEAR,....you and arisu still have the bracelets that kai made...no matter how far he may be physically, a piece of him is always with us" said ena as she continued.
     "ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT HAVE A CONNECTION, WE ARE ALL THE SAME...niragi, chishiya and kai, they are from different cities, ages, social classes...they have NOTHING in common..." ena said as she pulled down her shirt to reveal her scar in the word nothing. " yet they are the same person in variations "
      "END THIS BEFORE WE LIE OR WE'LL HAVE TO START AGAIN,...one of the three is against us, and I know who it is" she said as she stood up and walked over to her cabinet and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper.
     "3?" Said arisu as he looked at her weirdly.
     "The pictures on the screen that day, a lapis ring: the color royal blue happens to be the theme color of my wedding, your bracelets, my eyes" she said as usagi looked at her as it began to click.
     "A translation to kai's is ocean or sea" usagi said as ena uncrumpled the paper.
     "I found a letter from him...I thought it meant that he knew he was going to die for me" ena said as she held up the note " but I didn't read it through his eyes, he wasn't admitting to a suicide mission...he was admitting he wouldn't come back,....on our regular station the phrase you have found the player is on repeat" she said as she looked at them "the station number is his birthday"
     "Kai isn't dead...he's objective" said arisu as niragi and chishiya walked in.
     "We have to kill kai" said ena as she looked at them completely serious.
