Ririka took a shower after having run through the rain. The water helped to bring her body temperature down as well as give her a bit of reprieve from what had just happened. She told herself it was probably all the nights she lacked sleep that caused her to slip up, her feelings for Sayaka laid bare even for a stranger like their psychiatrist. She dressed herself up in an olive green shorts and matching shirt. She heard Kirari shouting her name from Sayaka's bedroom.
"What is it, dork?" Ririka showed up at Sayaka's room as she dried her hair with a handtowel.
"I keep losing to Sayaka. Come play cards with us."
"What? How could you lose to Sayaka? She doesn't gamble."
The two of them were sitting on Sayaka's bed with playing cards and poker chips piled in Sayaka's favor.
"You play with her then. I'll go down and get some ice cream," Kirari stepped out of the bed as Ririka took her place. Ririka played a round of cards and...lost. She couldn't believe it. Sayaka didn't seem happy whether she won or lost, her hands never reaching for the poker chips that she had won. Ririka pushed them onto her pile and shuffled the cards again. Her expression remained blank the whole time, which ironically made it harder to read her moves. They played another game to which Ririka lost once more. She couldn't believe what was happening. She pushed another pile of winnings in Sayaka's favor and started to shuffle. Sayaka placed her hand over Ririka's.
"What is it, Sayaka?"
"Cheat," She answered.
"What do you mean I'm cheating? I haven't even dealt the cards yet."
She looked at Ririka, her cold stare not giving the other one an idea as to why or how she could accuse her of cheating. Then, she moved closer, on all fours, invading Ririka's space and fished out a card that Ririka had accidentally sat on.
"Oh, Sayaka. I wasn't cheating. I really didn't know I was sitting on the ace of diamonds."
Kirari joined them with a half-gallon of ice cream, three bowls, and three spoons. She set about serving ice cream into three bowls for each of them, "Well, won anything yet, 'Ika?"
