### Transcript

Panel 1: [Kaden stands in front of his chair with his arms tucked behind his back.] {Kaden:} You can not, quote, "shut my fucking trap" because only I can control what I do. You can however influence one's ac-

Panel 2: [Close up of Kaden stepping on the button on the ground. A small clicking noise is made.]

Panel 3: [Kaden stares down in wide disbelief at the ground as it opens up beneath his feet.] {Kaden:} Oh shi-

Panel 4: [Top view of Kaden falling down the staircase. He is screaming and holding his hand up to the sky.]

Panel 5: [Rin, Amanda, and Sammy stand all together in a row staring down at Kaden.] {Rin:} Y'know, the most logical thing to do in this situation is not that.

{Amanda:} \* to be fair, he was annoying \*

{Sammy:} well that wasn't scripted. I guess I can make do with only ten.

Panel 6: [Phoenix is looking at the other girls with slight annoyment as she decends down into the staircase hole.] {Phoenix:} ~ Yeah, um, just letting y'all know that there's stairs going down here so uh, I'm going down to check on that guy.

Panel 7: [It's pitch black in the staircase, but you can read the conversation between everyone in the staircase.] {Sam:} woOoh! aDvenTurE!

{Matt:} ♡ Heh, yeah. An adventure sounds like fun ;) ♡

{Jacob:} Did anyone else notice how all the chairs and tables disappeared once we all stood up?

{Robert:} Hmmm, I Guess They Did.

{Amanda:} \* hey, uh, how'd you know my name? \*

{Sammy:} oh, I just looked at your paper. it had your name on it.

Panel 8: [Phoenix reached the bottom of the staircase and started commanding people.] {Phoenix} ~ Hey everyone, I found the bottom. Let's split up and try to find a light source.

Panel 9: [The lights turn back on automatically. Phoenix is taken by surprise, Robert looks scared, Sammy is standing behind Phoenix by the door, and Matt is coming out of the staircase.] {Phoenix:} ~ Ack!!!

{Robert:} Someone Turned The Light Back On.

{Sammy:} hey guys ...

Panel 10: [Close up on Sammy speaking.] {Sammy:} where is he?

### Fun Facts!

> On panel 7 while Jacob is speaking, I forgot to add the word "we" into the sentence so lmao whoopsie

> In the last comic, Sammy called Amanda by her name before she said it out loud. Sammy realised her mistake and once again was reminded when Amanda questioned her, so she made sure not to do the same mistake when addressing Kaden. She slipped up again though when she was muttering to herself in panel 5 when talking about the amount of players of her game.

>> She says 10 players because she assumes that Kaden died and she's not counting herself.

>>> Sammy has said back in one of the final comics of Game 11 that they can't die because they're already dead, but here she assumes that he's dead. Does this mean that the characters can still die from things like falling from extreme heights but not from attacks like being punctured by a knife?
