Jamal, Danya, Elayna and Tyler meet in Annika and Danya's room.
"We have to finish the task." Elayna states.
"What?!?" Jamal and Danya exclaim.
"She's right." Tyler agrees. "It's what Annika would've wanted."
"Stop talking about her like she's gone!" Jamal yells.
"There's only one way to find out if she's gone or not..." Elayna points out. "We have to finish the task."
"Fine." Danya takes a deep breath. "Let's do it."

In the tunnels, Danya directs everyone on the Chess board.
"Jamal, move one step to the right." Danya says.
Jamal does as he's told.
"Elayna, move one forward."
Elayna does as she's told, even though she steps on a danger square. But she's safe.
"Tyler, move one forward."
"But that's a danger square.." Tyler whimpers.
"You'll be fine." Danya says. "If you die, then it's about time.."
Tyler does as he's told, but the square gives out and he falls.
