The lights are on, and my eyes try their best to adjust. I look around, and quite a few have decided to come back. I hop off my bed and try to find my saviors. It didn't take me too long, they were just to my left. I walked up to them, and announced my presence.

"Hello saviors." I said blankly.

They just nodded to me. My mind kept telling me to ask them to team up. Should I? Would they even team up with a weak girl like me? I'll never know if I don't give it a shot, right?

"Excuse me, would you two mind teaming up with me?" My voice was shaky, and not confident. But, to my surprise, they agreed.

Player 300 said we should team up anyway because he has a feeling we'll need it. I have that same feeling. I look over to my right, and there's that old man. Should I ask him to team up? Why not.

"Hello sir, would you like to team up with us?" I ask as I kneel down. He looks at me confused.

"Why would they want me on their team?" I think he's asking himself.

He nods after noticing 300's inpatients. Wonderful! We now have a four person team! That's enough right? My thoughts are interrupted by 300 telling us his friend would like to join as well. He was player 312. Not gonna lie, he looked homeless. He was also badly beaten up. The old man seemed to know him, but wouldn't say it.

It was now time for lunch? Dinner? Whatever. It was just a bento box, I remember having these in school. My very best friend and I would always play with the shapes our mothers made. That reminds me...where is she? I haven't seen her in years...

It's bed time now, I couldnt really get any sleep with that loud woman yelling to pee. Couldn't she hold it? We all do. Finally, after her threatening to piss on the floor, the guard let's her go. I guess another had to as well, because the woman yelled at her for just taking it while she had to beg. Finally, I can sleep!

It's breakfast time, and strategy time. My team and I were in the middle of trying to figure out what this next game could be when the guards told us it was now time to start the second game. What is it? Now I'm stressing over it. Great, I don't need that right now.

We walk into the game room, and it's just a huge playground? The walls were painted sky blue, with clouds on it. And there was a sun on the right side of the room. In the front was four doors, with shapes on them. A green circle, red triangle, yellow star, and a blue umbrella. 312 looked over to his friend to see if he had anything. The announcer lady came on, and explained the game.

"Welcome players, to the second game. This game is called 'Sugar Honeycomb.' Before I explain the rules, please choose one of the four shapes presented before you." She sounded too chipper for me.

I looked over each shape and thought about what we'd be doing. "Hmm...the shapes might be..." I thought aloud, but was then cut off my the woman again. She told us to choose a shape, and stand in front of the door. I looked over to my teammates.

"What should we do?" Player 312 asks his friend.

He looks over us all and says, "I think it's best if we split up, it could be dangerous."

He was right, we don't even know what we're going into here. I look over the shapes one last time before choosing.

"I'll take the star-" My sentence was cut off by the old man seconing my choice.
