' Better to let Quinn win than to let you win. If you win, that brat will be saved again.'
Quinn takes the ticket.
" Anna. Take it."
Anna widens her eyes.
" Q-Quinn.."
Quinn smiles.
" Let's not get so serious in the rehearsal."
Anna smiles.
" Thank you, Quinn !"
Shane exhales.
Quinn walks to the front and stares at the screen.
" Then why rehearsal ? We all understand the rules already."
The screen shows a different face.
Rather, a mask.
" The winner of the rehearsal will be the Liar King."
Anna furrows her brows, " Liar.. King ?"
" The Liar King can be hired by people to lie and acquire a big amount of money. That was the goal all along."
" Ah. Useless." commented Quinn.
" No. It's not completely useless."
They stare at the white mask.
" Anything can be the prize of the lie. Not just money, a death ticket is also permitted."
Ella smiles creepily at Shane.
' ..death ticket.'
