The Gamble (9.6k)

•Written April 2023•

Summary:
"The test is simple. It's a gamble," the administrator for the 107ᵗʰ floor told them. "You each have to relinquish your most dangerous secret — the gamble is that yours won't be the one everyone else sees. Only the one determined to be the most destructive will be revealed to all.

"So you must make the choice: will you gamble that your worst secret is not the worst of all? If any of you choose not to gamble, the whole party cannot progress. You will get one hour after the secret is revealed, and if the party chooses to disband due to discord...none of you can move on to the next floor."

"The test is simple. It's a gamble," the administrator for the 107ᵗʰ floor told them.

Aguero felt pretty good about that. If there was one thing he could do, he could definitely make a good gamble. It might get a bit complicated if they had to rely on all of them being good at gambling, though.

"You each have to relinquish your most dangerous secret — the gamble is that yours won't be the one everyone else sees. Only the one determined to be the most destructive will be revealed to all. So you must make the choice: will you gamble that your worst secret is not the worst of all? If any of you choose not to gamble, the whole party cannot progress. You will get one hour after the secret is revealed, and if the party chooses to disband due to discord…none of you can move on to the next floor."

Aguero swallowed. His worst, most dangerous secret… 

They all already knew about his fraught past with his family. His feelings for Bam, maybe? That could possibly cause some discord in the group, particularly with Endorsi, and of course Bam himself. But surely others would have secrets more impactful than a bit of errant lust? 

Perhaps it was downplaying it to call his feelings for Bam just 'a bit of errant lust', but still. It wasn't anything groundbreaking. (Honestly, who wouldn't love him? It was obvious in the way their entire group revolved around him, Bam operating as the hub that held them all together. He'd made a princess of Jahad throw her oaths directly out the window to chase after him essentially right on first meeting, for fuck's sake. Bam was just…Bam. How could Aguero be blamed for a little bit of intensity?)
