We entered the Ambidex room. Akiri and me. According to Zero The lll only teams from a pair can enter and solos enter alone. Another thing that rabbit mentioned was that we were going to play against the person that we went into the Chromatic doors meaning that we were going up against Drace. There was a screen in the AB room and I pressed start, making the doors in the AB rooms close earning a death glare from Akiri.
"Sorry..." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"It's alright..." Akiri looked at the screen and so did I. We both noticed that there were two choices Ally or Betray. "If what that rabbit thing said was right betray is our safest choice.."
"Betray?... Don't you trust Drace?" I looked at her.
"It's not like I don't trust him but remember what he did to you in the infirmary.. he's going crazy. He's not okay. What if he chooses betray? We'll only have 1 BP left..."
"I know that but I think that we can trust him..." I looked away from her and paced around the room.
"Alright. I'll tell you a story. The prisoners dilemma. Let's say these two don't know who they are. They live far away from each other and the same detective interrogates them. If they both stay quiet (ally) They have 5 years in prison but If one stays quiet (ally) and the other confeses (betray) the person who stays quiet gets 15 years and the person who confessed gets 2 years. The thing is what happens if both people confess then the detective gives both of them 10 years instead of the 2 years or the 5 years that they were going to be in jail. The AB game is not that different from what's going on right now. Let's say they choose betray and we did the say. We would go nowhere but what if we both choose ally then we will be closer to getting out. The thing is what happens if we choose betray and they choose ally. We will be closer to getting on. You get what I'm saying right? It makes person sense to choose betray..." I heard her explain her story and thought about it.
"Yes.. I get what you're saying but can we betray his trust?... What if he chooses ally? I mean we don't know if he does until the end of the AB game..." I was confused but I didn't get a choice and Akiri choose betray saving our vote before I got an argument. I couldn't do anything about it and had to wait the rest of the time until the AB game was over. That made me remember that some kind of announcer said that there were only 15 minutes left of the AB game.
Akiri and I just sat on the floor and waited for those 15 minutes exchanging quick glances and a quiet room. What was there to talk to? She had betrayed the trust of Drace but it made me think about something. What if Drace chose betray? I guess it would be better if that happened since it would mean that we both betrayed and none of us would gain of it. Those 15 minutes seemed forever but eventually finished and the doors that were closed on the AB room opened. We both left and she only said one thing to me before we approached the screen to see the results.
"I made the right choice..." She said and went to the screen and I followed behind.
"Results from the AB game will be shown." Said the announcer and the results of everyone's vote was shown on a board that appeared. Blossom and Yuki allied with Mint that meant that all of them got points but Yuu betrated Vellicya and Rain meaning that Vellicya and Rain only had 1 BP now and Yuu had 6 BP. Now I looked at our results and it made me feels dissapointed in myself when I saw that Drace picked ally and we betrayed him.
"Damn it!" I said loudly inside my mind. If we would have just allied with Drace there would be no problems between us but now there was going to be a lot of trouble not only between Drace and us but between Yuu and Vellicya and Rain. It seemed that the other 3 were happy that they all choose ally it seemed that all of them trust each other. It was a trust that maybe we could of had with Drace but now we couldn't there was no one for us to take that vote back and we had no choice but to deal with Drace now. I imagined in my mind that he was going to hit me. He was very violent and now that his life was haning by a string his anger would come out. Specifically on me because I'm sure that he's not going to hit a girl because of that. I'll have to deal with him somehow but I didn't know how.
