The alarm blares.

"Round four begins now"

The other players look up at the screen in shock.

After leaving our cells again, we all go back into the central guardroom.

"What? I can't believe it!" I hear someone mutter.

But like...

It was so obvious that that guy wasn't the Jack of Hearts.

I mean, he only lied to the bald guy because he was scared of him.

Whatever.

"I guess that guy wasn't the Jack of Hearts" Someone else says, making me roll my eyes.

Then, Chishiya starts talking again.

"People are starting to get nervous" He tells me and Ippei, the minion guy.

I turn to look at him, knowing he's standing right behind me.

He crosses his arms in front of himself as he scans the people in the room.

"I know they said there was no time limit..."

Chishiya looks up at us, a smirk appearing on his lips.

"...except that people are actually starting to die now."

He's right, as always.

I sigh, making his eyes fixate on me completely, now.

"What about the Jack? How do we find him?" I ask after a few seconds of silence.

I watch as Shuntaro shrugs.

"I'm not sure that we'll find the Jack at all."

Nodding, I turn to look at everyone in the room again.

They start paring up again, whispering among each other now.

***

Just like we did in the last round, our group is now sitting in the dining hall again, where there are loads of food.

I, myself, am sitting on one of the benches, leaning on to Chishiya as we both share another pack of his favorite biscuits.

The rest of our group is sitting at the table next to ours.

Only one girl isn't there.

She's standing at one of the shelves, nervously sipping on her drink as she looks for something to eat.

My eyes go back to Urumi as she taps the table twice, a lollipop in her hands.

She leans forward, staring at the girl as others lean closer to listen to her.

"That girl there, she wasn't on our side when we tried to get our stories straight earlier."

She looks at the others, a bright smile on her face.

"Should we kill her? Hmmm?"

Everyone stares at her in confusion, one girl even glaring at her.

Ippei, who sits in front of me, on the other side of the table, turns to the group in shock.

But most of them seem to start agreeing with Urumi.

Sighing, I turn to Chishiya again.

"Shuntaro, mind telling me my symbol?" I whisper.

He nods, biting off a piece of his biscuit before putting the rest of it on the table.

He softly moves my hair out of the way.
