## Plot

### Turn One

Yumeko impresses every player by challenging Terano. Ryota believes that the game is de facto over if Yumeko or Terano loses this showdown. Terano is convinced that Yumeko doesn’t have a twelve. She wonders why Yumeko decided to challenge her so early on. She then concludes that it’s because it’s fun for Yumeko. Terano accepts the showdown, and it results in a tie with a nine against a nine. Terano and Yumeko were in different rooms. The only way Terano could have a nine is by donating or receiving points.

Terano asks Yumeko if she hates Kirari. The election and the Fasciation Hall were set by Kirari. Kirari has set up the board for her own entertainment watching the thrill and agony of her pawns from high up. Yumeko didn't seem to understand. Terano thinks that Yumeko is weird, and tells herself that it was Kirari who killed “Jabami”.

### Turn Two

Yumeko picks specific rooms for Ryota and Nanami to enter. Ryota finds Mugi in the same room as him. Mugi decides to stay. She will know what number Ryota has since they’re in the same room. Ryota wonders if he should change rooms, but decides to believe in Yumeko and stay. Ryota gets a three. Arata has a matchup against Ryota. Arata knows that Ryota has only three points because Mugi told him. He reveals that he’s allied with Terano, Yumi, Mugi, and Moe. Ryota asks Arata why he refused to ally. Arata says that he can trust Terano more than he can trust Ryota.

### Flashback

They are about making Terano or Yumeko drop out of the election. She wants to help them to bring Yumeko down. Moe lets Terano know that she still can’t be trusted. She adds that there is no guarantee that they won’t be betrayed. Terano threatens to attack all of them first if they don’t ally with her. Yumi gives the housepets a knife and tells them that they can stab her if Terano betrays them. Terano didn’t want Yumi to go this far.

### Present
