Round 3A ( Time left 09 : 59 )
Quinn walks to the front after her name is picked.
" Do you have someone you like ?"
Silence.
Shane decides to make a move.
He turns to Anna.
Anna looks at Shane with her innocent eyes.
" Just vote as you like." said Shane after turning away.
Anna stares at Shane with his back showed to herself.
" Mr. Shane."
" Have you decided your vote ?"
" I don't know. I mean, it's likely everyone has someone they like. For example, friends and family.."
Shane turns to her and gives her a stare.
Anna widens her eyes, " hmm ?"
Shane turns away.
" Well.. it's like attachment ?" explained Shane feeling awkward.
" Like Mr. Shane and me ?"
" ...No. It's more like affection... But those feelings are just temporary."
Anna glares at Quinn laughing.
" You're a total idiot. HAHAHA !"
Shane stares at Ella fiercely.
Anna scratches her hair.

Round 3A

" The results are out." said Yuri tapping the keyboard.
| . . YES . . | . . NO . . |
=================
| S A E . . . . . Q . . . . . |
" Ms. Quinn is eliminated from the first half and gets death penalty. Please proceed."
Quinn walks away.
' Whatever. I don't intend to be the liar king anyway.'
Yuri takes a paper out from the box.
" Ms. Anna. Please present a question." said Yuri.
Anna smiles.
" Do you believe in me ?"
Ella smirks.
Anna turns to Ella.
' Her smirk meant..'

Ella walks to the voting desk.
Ella looks at the buttons.
Ella presses a button.
No.

Shane presses a button.
Yes.
Anna takes a deep breath.

Round 3B
END
| . . YES . . | . . NO . . |
=================
| S A . . . . . E . . . . . . |
Anna turns to Ella.
Anna smiles.
" Ms. Ella wins the round and earns a death ticket. Now, let's continue the next round."
Ella receives a death ticket.
" Do you want this ?"
Anna smiles.
" Will you give it to Quinn ?"
Ella walks to the front.
" If we all keep our death tickets till the rehearsal ends, it can save our lives. The rehearsal won't give real death penalty. So I decide to keep my ticket."
Anna shouts, " that's a brilliant idea !"
The screen shows a mask.
" The death penalty won't occur after the rehearsal ended. But it will occur after the stage has ended."
" We know that." said Quinn.
" But,
the scores will continue.
Whether you have a death penalty or you have a death ticket."
Anna raises her eyebrows.
Shane walks to Anna.
Shane states, " In other words, Broccoli will still have a death penalty in the real game if she stays like that."
Ella pouts, " the rehearsal also gives benefit."
Anna stares at Ella.
' So that's what the smirk meant.'
The light lands on Quinn's curly hair.
A faint smile.
