[ LIAR GAME ost. Silent Revive ]
Shane puts two cards on the table.
The cards have words carved.
' Shane.'
' Quinn.'
" Here." said Shane.
Belle chuckles, " It's just like I thought."
" You just can't see her suffer." mocked Belle, " do you feel better making yourself suffer than looking at her suffering ?"
Shane glares at Belle, " stop that."
Belle smiles creepily, the muscles near the lips go up, but her eyes don't change, thus making her eyes and mouth not compatible.
Belle touches the cards.
" Wait." said Shane after pressing the cards.
" Give me Anna's card."
Belle puts Anna's card on the table.
" Satisfied ?"
Belle takes the cards.
" Your 14 apples and Quinn's 14 apples added together are way better than Anna's 12 apples." said Belle arrogantly.
Belle laughs and laughs.
" Dealer. Can you please take the soundproof off ?" asked Belle.
The dealer's face is shown on the screen.
" Does Mr. Shane have any complaints ?"
" Nnnnno."
" Very well."
Belle chuckles.
***
Anna frowns.
Quinn twitches her lips.
Gilbert glares at the screen.
Ethan bites his lips.
***
Belle laughs terrifyingly.
Suddenly, Belle pauses.
" W-Why are you laughing ?" asked Belle.
Shane laughs voicelessly.
" I pity you."
" Huh ?"
" When that idiot wanted to help you, you refused her."
" What are you talking about ? You lost. I have your cards- "
" My cards ?"
Shane takes two cards out.
" Oh, you mean this ?"
***
Anna raises her head.
Quinn gasps.
Gilbert glares at the screen.
Ethan smiles.
***
" H-How.."
Belle realizes something.
Belle takes the two cards out.
Belle flips the cards again and again.
" Eh ?"
Shane sits down and puts his feet on the table arrogantly.
" I'll tell you."
Belle looks at Shane.
" ..how I got the new cards."
Round 20
Anna cries.
Shane wipes her tears.
" Say, can you cry again ?"
" Ehh ?!"
Anna stomps away.
***
Round 27
Shane growls, " BELLE !"
Shane turns to Quinn, " Give me your card ! Now !" shouted Shane.
Quinn gives him her card obediently.
***
Shane glances at Anna crying.
Shane hugs her.
" Just cry all you want."
Anna cries.
Shane takes his card and Quinn's card out.
The tears roll down.
The cards are a little wet.
" And guess what I found." said Shane starting the conversation.
Belle glares at him.
" The cards become damaged." said Shane.
***
" Eeeh ?!" said Anna.
Quinn gives a poker face.
***
Shane shows his cards.
" And I get new ones." said Shane glaring at Belle.
" Wake up from your dream." said Shane.
Belle stares at Shane.
" You're the moron."
