"Play with me. I'll make sure you win, no matter what." That's what you told Sae-byeok so she'd choose you as her partner for the fourth game, and you were going to make sure it happened. You were a loner, and for some reason, she had invited you to join her team for the previous game, and you'd won thanks to that, so you felt like you owed her one.

Once everyone was in pairs, the guards took you where the next game would take place. The set looked like they were trying to recreate the alleys you used to play in when you were younger, you almost felt nostalgic.

That was the moment when the guards gave both you and Sae-byeok a bag containing ten marbles each.

"Using your set of ten marbles, play the game of your choice with your partner. The player who manages to take all ten marbles from their partner wins."

"So... only one of us will pass?" Sae-byeok suddenly spoke up, glancing up to the thirty-minute timer. She tried covering it up, but there was something in her voice, in her eyes even. A hint of remorse. Like she didn't want you to die for her sake.
