## Chapter Info

**Chapter 27: Playtime Is Over** is the twenty-seventh chapter of Furry Fight Chronicles.

## Summary

The chapter starts with Kalita wondering if she's ready to become an ordinary citizen. A flashback focuses on five days before. As Muko, Cookie, and Nyarai prepared for the Masato Match, Kalita went to Chez Macez to have dinner with an old friend. Kalita wonders why she's going to a fancy place. She's suddenly called out by her old friend Debbie, who notes that Kalita arrived late as always.

Kalita asks Debbie if she's rich now. Debbie states that it's been a year since they last saw each other, asking how Kalita is doing. Kalita asks Debbie to drop the small talk. She tells Debbie that she needs to return to the Roda Kira Gang and become its leader again. Debbie is surprised by Kalita's request. Kalita adds how things got worse since Gantus became the second leader. She complains about Gantus forcing them to do crimes and how he enlisted their enemies from the Scooter Gang and the Hopper Gang into their ranks.

Debbie states that there is nothing wrong about new members, but Kalita states that she's wrong about that. The waiter asks the ladies if they want something to drink. Debbie asks for an 86 Salmon Sauvignon. Kalita orders red wine since beer is unavailable. Kalita states that the newspapers portray the Roda Kira Gang as criminals, with the members accepting the label. Kalita states that while they wanted to stir up society, Gantus will make them scum if he remains as a leader. Debbie starts scrolling on her phone, showing her lack of knowledge in the gang's actions.

Kalita bitterly states that not even the second founding member Leyline protests, forcing her to fight alone. Debbie asks if Leyline still smells glue, but Kalita states that Gantus is giving him worse stuff to keep his loyalty. She asks Debbie to join forces to kick Gantus out. Kalita voices her desire to return to the glory days of the Roda Kira Gang, like driving at night, setting a bonfire at Bulwan Park, and sharing stories until the next day. Unfortunately, Debbie refuses, saying that her playtime is over.

Debbie reveals to Kalita that she's been married for nine months, which disgusts Kalita because she thinks marriage is for pussies. Debbie met her husband, who was the doctor supervising her, while she was recovering from the crash she had when she raced Gantus for the leadership of the Roda Kira Gang. Kalita notes that she never crashed until her race with Gantus. Debbie states that she quit the Roda Kira Gang because she realized that life is too precious to throw away in an attempt to prove how badass one is, reminding Kalita how she never used a helmet as a biker and that nearly killed her.

Kalita angrily accuses Debbie of cowardice by running away from the gang and marrying a man. Debbie retorts by stating that people grow up, unlike Kalita. Enraged, Kalita flips a table, intending to fight Debbie. Much to her shock, an angry Debbie states that she retired from fighting because she's pregnant. Kalita is dismayed at Debbie wanting to be a housewife, reminding her friend that she wanted to leave a mark in the world. Debbie counters that giving birth to a new life is the greatest mark a person can make.

Debbie states that the Roda Kira Gang was a phase and that friends come and go, but family is everything. This enrages Kalita, who states that family is bullshit. Debbie realizes that she made a mistake by talking about Kalita, who is an orphan. Kalita angrily leaves the restaurant. Debbie tells Kalita that she should leave the Roda Kira Gang if things are that bad with them. She states that Kalita is too young to obsess over the past. Kalita flips off Debbie, calling her out for drinking while pregnant and telling her that she will be a terrible mother.

Kalita goes to Bulwan Park, remembering the good times with her friends. Suddenly, Kalita smells something and notices a fire in the park. She's horrified to discover the homeless people of the park getting attacked by the Roda Kira Gang. Kalita yells at her gang, asking what are they doing. Gantus, the current leader of the Roda Kira Gang, tells Kalita that she's late for his beautification project. The chapter ends with Kalita deciding to fight Gantus.
