You are definitely off your league. But your queen was formal:

Queen of Hearts

| From now on, act like a player and bring me any useful information.

"Act like a player" means following the Hatter's directions. Every evening the players are separated into different groups scattered around Tokyo to collect as many cards as possible.

Even if you're not happy to find yourself on a game of clubs, you're already doing better than Emiko who is stuck on the eight of diamonds. Suffice to say that even by cheating she may have some difficulty getting out of there.

You are lucky to team up with Oyuki this time. She volunteered to come with you to save you the trip with Niragi. Luckily for you, he wanted something more complete and some manipulations from Oyuki managed to convince him.

What you're worried about is how you're going to have to hold her back to keep her from running to her death.

You team up with other players from outside the Beach, to your great annoyance you find among them the climber (from the game of tag) and Arisu. You do your best to ignore them.

"Hey, you were in the four of spades, weren't you?"

Shit.

You feign innocence, frowning as if trying to remember, then widen your eyes forcing a smile. "Yes! I remember you. You were with a boy in an orange shirt I believe? He helped my friend at the end of the game."

His expression darkened at the mention of his dead friend. "Yeah...I- Well, he-" He lowers his head, seeming to be searching for words. The climber takes a step forward to come between you.

"He don't want to talk about it. Let's focus on the game."

You nod with a fake expression of empathy.

Of course he doesn't want to talk about it.

Oyuki suddenly takes a fit of coughing. She presses a hand to her chest, grimacing as if breathing is painful.
