Recently, you discovered a most curious artifact in your dusty attic — an old chessboard, but unlike any ordinary set. This one was designed for three players. And who better to invite for such a game than your two favorite rivals?

Alhaitham: "I don't understand why it had to be arranged with him."

He sits with his arms crossed tightly over his chest, his posture rigid as he stares at the board. His gaze flicks toward Kaveh with open discontent, as if the mere presence of his roommate across the table has already soured the entire affair. Kaveh, meanwhile, seems utterly amused by the situation. He hums softly while arranging his pieces, taking his sweet time.

Kaveh: "Relax. Let the strongest win. Aren't you afraid?"

Kaveh's lips curl into a teasing smirk as he needles his roommate, then turns his sparkling eyes toward you — inviting you to share in the joke, to take sides, to make this game far more interesting than any ordinary chess match could ever be.
