Shane corners her.
Anna feels her heartbeat getting faster.
Shane touches her chin.
Anna widens her eyes.

" The defender didn't fall into the trap. The defender earns a point."
Shane ( 4 p ) VS Anna ( 7 p )
Anna runs away.
The door is closed.
Shane smirks.
Shane walks away.

Shane and Anna glance at Ella.
Her high heels are making a loud noise.
Ella smiles, " Anna's win is already assured. You don't have any threats to me anymore. Whether I lose or not doesn't affect her."
Ella turns to Anna, " so, I decide to win."
Shane smirks, " It doesn't affect her. But it affects us."
Ella glares at Shane, " eh ?"
" If you lose, I can reconsider opening the black box. But if you win.."
Ella widens her eyes.
" ..we will do it again."
Ella stares at Anna.
Anna lowers her head.
' Sorry.'
Anna feels something curling her shoulders.
Anna raises her head to see the man higher than her a few centimeters.
Shane glances at Ella walking away.
" Your acting wasn't bad." praised Shane coldly.
Anna feels a little down, remembering what Ella said before.
" I pity you ! HAHAHAHA !"
Shane turns to Anna.
" Oh." exclaimed Shane after releasing his grip.
Shane walks away, " Let's go."
Anna sighs.

Ella ( 6 p ) VS Grace ( 4 p )
Round 7 : Devil ( D ) Angel ( O )
Ella comes in and looks at the rules.
• Open the black box
• Open the white box
Grace smirks, " open the black one."
Ella turns to her, " good work."
Ella continues, " is what I like to say. But, that can be a lie."
" Eh ? You don't believe in God ?"
" Then open for me." said Ella.
Grace opens the black box.
" But after I open the black box, I'll earn a point ! That way, you can't win." warned Grace.
Grace closes the box, " open it."
Ella walks to her.
Ella touches the white box.
" Wait ! What do you think you're doing ?!"
Ella opens the white box.
" The defender walked right into the trap. The defender loses a point. The offender earns a point."
" See ?!" shouted Grace.
Ella ( 5 p ) VS Grace ( 5 p )

Shane ( 4 p ) VS Anna ( 7 p )
Round 8 : Devil ( D ) Angel ( O )
" Mr. Shane." called Anna as she watches him walking in.
" The real trap is opening the white box."
• Kiss the offender
• Open the white box
" Should we stop provoking Ms. Ella ? It seems like she is losing."
" No. She can win by a thin difference next round. So we should also have a thin difference."
" Eh ? But.."
" If I win and you lose, how's the scores ?"
" Ah.. 5 points with 6 points. But it means I should open the white box, and Mr. Shane should.."
Anna glances at Shane coming closer.

Ella mumbles.
" Don't think you can get away so easily for making me angry."
