After powering through a long, hard walk in the blazing hot sun, we're fortunate enough to come across a sprawling city. We're all on the verge of collapsing so a B&B is our target priority. We're lucky enough to find one, though there's just one...slightly huge problem: It's swamped with people in line to play a game. I take a peek at the two players currently facing off, a calm and collected purple haired woman, donning a veil over her head and another girl donning pretty much any and every shade of pink from head to toe, who is frankly the complete opposite: nervous, fidgety and kinda-one-step-away-from-bursting-into-tears....like.

???: "Will you hurry up and make your move?"??? :"Sh-shut up, would you? Let me think please?!"??? : "You can think all you want

???: "Will you hurry up and make your move?"
??? :"Sh-shut up, would you? Let me think please?!"
??? : "You can think all you want. It won't change the fact that I have the upper hand here and there's no chance of you winning."

I study the match more....and more and more...it's true. Pink lady has been backed into a corner...but only because-

Sora: She's cheating.

Yeah, what he said.

Shiro:"Yes...but how?

She analyses the game.

Shiro:" It doesn't make sense..."

I scan the room. The game seems to have played out fairly, this girl is clearly getting some outside help. I eventually pick up on someone, in a hood, trying to conceal themselves. Someone closely analysing the game...someone...

...whos also wearing veil...

Y/N: Heh, seriously?"

We stray away from the crowd and around the side of the Inn in order to catch our breath and sit down for a little while. I let Shiro down off my back, once again, gently rubbing her head. She loves when I do that. I turn to Sora.

Y/N: "What do you think this is all about, Sora? Do you think people play games to earn their rooms? Are games the form of currency or something? "
