Anna and Shane shared a bed yesterday.
Anna wakes up energized, yet Shane seemed to not have gotten any sleep.

" It seems like this is the place."
Anna looks around.

" You. Go back." said Shane.
" Eh ? I can't leave Mr. Shane alone !"

" None of you are going back."
Anna and Shane turn to look at the man with the gold tooth.

" What.." said Anna startled.
" Will you care to join a game ?" asked the man.

" I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hiro." said the man with gold tooth.
The man smiles again, " Your father needs your help."

Anna suddenly raised her head.
" Don't." said Shane.

" If you win the first stage, your father will be saved, and you won't have any debts." said Hiro swirling the coin with his fingers.

Anna widens her eyes.
" Now, will you ?" asked Hiro.

Anna stares at Shane, hoping him to agree.
" What if she loses ?" asked Shane.

Hiro chuckles.
" Her father will die."

Anna widens her eyes.
Shane gives a death gaze.
