    The throne room of Blancblack Castle was silent, save for the sound of two people playing cards. Silhouette was perched in Etihw's white throne, and you were comfortable in Kcalb's black one. The two of you were locked in a tense game of cards for the last piece of chocolate cake, which sat untouched on a small table between the thrones.

    The game was close, and Silhouette's nerves were clearly showing as she struggled to keep her cool. Despite her best efforts, luck didn't seem to be on her side, and you were consistently coming out on top. Silhouette stared down at her cards, her brow furrowed in concentration. With four cards in her hand, she knew she had options. But still, she hesitated, deliberating on her next move while you patiently waited with three cards in hand...

    Silhouette was clearly determined not to lose the game, and it was all because of the chocolate cake that was at stake. She desperately racked her brain, trying to remember the card game strategy her mother—Etihw—had taught her earlier.
    After a few tense moments of thoughtful silence, Silhouette finally opened her eyes and asked, a hint of hesitation in her voice.
