Silence. Blank stares. Unspoken words. Exhaustion.
They could not guess what Code Game really is but one thing for certain, a day playing it is hell.
May tig-isa na silang human pawns ngayon maliban kay Damon. They should have three pawns in total so they have to wait for them.
" Ibig sabihin ba nito maging pipi na tayo? " - Gusion.
Everyone heaved a deep sigh in unison. Sabay na rin silang natawa.
" Hindi ako makapaniwala na nagawa natin ang sampung Codes ngayong araw ," - Nikka.
" Pa'no nangyari yun? " - Gusion.
" Thanks to Players Academy I guess," dagdag ni Spongebob.
" Salamat din sa mga joke nyo ha. Kahit napaka corny," - Nikka.
" I would list the old jokes I encountered later for tomorrow's survival."
Natawa sila sa sinabi ni Spongebob. Gusion has the funniest laughter and everytime he laughed, everyone would just laugh along with him.
" Anyare dyan kay WE? Is he sleeping already? Hindi pa tayo kumakain ah ," - Spongebob.
" Wow! concern ka ngayon kay WE!! samantalang kanina habang kumakain ako sinadya mo talaga akong utusan sa mga codes kahit alam mong hindi ko kayang sagutan yun at sinadya mo talaga akong badtripin dahil alam mong gutom na gutom ako o baka naman nagseselos ka lang dahil nagutom ka na rin pero dahil Rook Official ka kaya kailangan mong maging seryoso!! " - Gusion.
" Hahahhahahahaha ."
" Oo na, rapper ka na ."
" Name: Gusion. Cause of death: Rapping. Explanation: suffocate himself and die ," - Zeus.
Nagtawanan sila.
" Nagseselos talaga. Big word," - Spongebob.
" Totoo naman! "
The door opened and Commandment came in, making them all shut their mouths. He looked as calm as ever but his eyes seemed lifeless even with his contacts.
" I could hear you from outside. Did you fight? " tanong nito at umupo sa upuan niya.
" Gusion is being irrational," Spongebob reasoned out.
" Irrational daw! I'm just being honest ."
" Maliit na bagay lang yun pero ang ingay mo na ," - Spongebob.
Tiningnan sila ng seryoso ni Commandment.
" There is no scale that could measure pain. It just hurts when it hurts kaya kung nagkakapikunan kayo, you could fight all you want. We could fight all we want. Kahit na hahantong tayo sa pisikalan. Throwing your fist and anger at someone would always be better than throwing hate in silence. That way, we would remain friends."
" Copy paste! " Nikka said with a baby smile.
" Added to reminders ," Gusion seconded.
" I'll set an alarm for that ," - Zeus.
" Iuukit ko yan sa puno ng mangga."
Spongebob made them laugh again. Only after their laughters died out did Damon tilt his head, making his tired eyes visible as he looked at his Queen.
" Shall I write that to my diary? " he teased with a smirk, making them start laughing again.
Tumikhim si Spongebob.
" Naalala mo nung pinainom mo ako ng tubig - ilog? Don't call yourself a friend after that, pakiusap. Nakipagplastikan lang naman ako sa'yo," Spongebob joked.
