"Don't you dare fucking die on me, Condom Carrier."

"Here, drink this. It'll calm you." Noshiko smiles, handing Stiles the tea in her hands.

"What is it?" Stiles asks, looking down at the cup.

"Drugs." Charlotte replies with a smirk, making Stiles send her a humorous look.

"It's tea." Noshiko corrects.

"What? Like magic tea?" Stiles asks with wide eyes.

"You have magic tea?" Charlotte asks with wide eyes, making Kira and Allison smile at the two in amusement.

"No, it's chamomile tea. You, drink it." Noshiko gestures her head to Stiles.

"It still sounds like magic tea." The Lynx mumbles.

"Then it'll be magic tea." Noshiko nods with a small smile.

"Fuck yeah." Charlotte hums excitedly, turning to Allison with a wide smile.

"Mom, he's not safe here." Kira sighs.

"He's not safe anywhere." Noshiko sends her a look.

"He actually is. With Arlo. She killed all of them." Allison points out.

"Didn't you also kill one of them?" Charlotte asks the huntress with furrowed eyebrows.

"How is that even possible?" Mr. Yukimura asks, smiling at Charlotte when she waves at him cheerfully.

"I'm not sure how." Allison mumbles, shaking her head.

"Maybe it's just because you're a badass." The Lynx shrugs, leaning her head on her best friend's shoulder.

"We need a proper answer." Noshiko tells her.

"My brain isn't functioning well enough to give a proper answer. You're gonna have to come back to me." Charlotte shakes her head a little, smiling at the woman.

"But your brain was well enough when you killed them yourself?" Noshiko asks.

"In my defence, I haven't had really good control over myself lately. You know... since my anchor kinda got possessed by your ex. But, you know, you do what you gotta do." Charlotte shrugs.

"You nearly died because of that... now I guess the only good thing is that it looks like I'm dying too." Stiles mumbles, his voice weak and shaky.

"How the fuck is that a good thing, Jeep boy?" Charlotte scrunches her nose at her best friend.

"He made a very powerful move splitting the two of you." Noshiko nods.

"Then what's our move?" Kira asks, glancing at Allison when the huntress holds her hand.

"At this point, you're gonna need a divine move." Mr. Yukimura sighs.

"I could go for a diving meal right about now. And a divine sleep." The Lynx mutters.

"What's that?" Stiles asks the history teacher.

"In the game of Go, it's what we call a very out of the box move. The Nogitsine had sente, the higher advantage." Noshiko starts to explain.

"All bad guys seem to have that over us. Nothing new." Charlotte hums, looking down at the board game in front of her.

"That was until this point when your Lynx friend killed almost every Oni he has. What you guys need now is a divine move to turn the game around." Noshiko adds.
