Agad akong yumakap kay Hades pagkagising niya.


I lost a sister... a friend. We lost Prada.


"Ang sakit..." Hagulgol ni Hades sa akin. The others were in a separate room when the elimination round happened, napanood nila how we tried to find their keys. Pinanood nila paano pinatay si Prada. Crow really had a way to make us miserable than ever.


Ano kaya ang magiging reaction nila kapag nalaman nila ang nakita ko?


"Sorry, hindi namin siya nailigtas," Apollo cried as he scooped into Dior's embrace. I heard her whispering comforting words to him. Hermés had to look away at that.


"Wala kayong kasalanan," sabi ko sa kanila.


All of this... was Crow's fault! Sino naman ang papatayin niya ngayon?! I was so fucking tired of seeing my friends die... both mentally and physically.


I did not want to stay strong anymore.


Now, we were in a white room at alam ko na agad kung ano ang lalaruin namin. A giant Jenga awaited us. Kita ko rin sino ang mga magkakagrupo based on the outfits we were wearing. Gucci, Apollo, and I were wearing white bodysuits while Dior, Hermés, and Hades were wearing black.


Nakita ko paano nailang ang mga kaibigan naming babae because the bodysuit was see-through. At least, we were given the undergarments pero mas lalong namuo ang galit sa loob ko kasi hindi man lang binigyan ng pantakip ang mga babae.


"Boys, turn around," I ordered them. Alam ko na napansin din nila ang mga damit ng mga babae kaya nakita ko paano kumunot ang mga noo nila, getting pissed off. They turned around and glared at the guards.


"Wala ba kayong extrang tela diyan?" Apollo asked the guards who gave him no answer. Napamasahe ako ng sentido. "Kinakausap kayo, oh!"


"Hoy! May mga babae kaming kasama rito!" Saway ni Hades na namumugto pa ang mata. "Ma-konsensya naman sana kayo kung may babae kayong jowa o kaibigan o anak!"


"Just give us any cloth, please!" I yelled, getting stressed out. Wala ba silang decency na mahiya sa mga babae?! The girls were uncomfortable, for pete's sake!


"Crow!" Apollo slammed the walls na para bang lalabas si Crow doon. "Bigyan mo kaming pantakip, tangina!"


Napayakap ako kay Hades nang biglang may nahulog na dalawang puti at itim na tela from the ceiling. Wala namang butas doon! Was it magic?!


"Clingy ka, pre?" Bumitaw ako sa pagkayakap kay Hades when I saw him smirking at me. I regained my composure and cleared my throat but the rest just laughed at me.


"Salamat sa inyo," Dior and Gucci exclaimed at the same time.


"Pwede na kayong humarap," Dior ordered as we faced them. Nakatakip na si Dior ng itim na tela while Gucci was covering herself with the black one. They seemed so relieved to get that cloth.


"Hindi naman halata ang lalaruin natin," Gucci said sarcastically, making me laugh for a bit. Wala nang element of surprise si Crow, except sa tela kanina. That shocked me!


"Good morning, little ones!" Bati ni Crow. Walang good sa morning, punyeta. "As you can see, we will be playing Jenga."


So not obvious.
