Y/Ns POV
I can smell the bodies burning, it's disgusting. People have begun to crowd round, some with guns and others unarmed. I look over as the militants begin to become wary and disobey Aguni. They don't want to kill anybody else. Well, if they thought this earlier then it would have made the situation quite easier.

Aguni points a gun at a man's head, "That's enough!" I turn my head just like everyone else. It's... Arisu! I almost leap of joy but remain my cool and quickly stumble over to Usagi behind him. "You... you had me tied up the whole time. So that means that you know that I can't be the witch. And if you aren't the witch, you don't need to kill me. Just work with me, and we'll find the witch!"

Tempting but as if Aguni would just walk over and place his hand on your shoulder and agree with you. Although, Aguni is walking up to you... In a more violent unapologetic way. He slams his gun onto Arisu's face and kicks him to the ground. "What is your problem?" I point fingers and Usagi jumps at him, "Stop it!" He pushes her to the ground and grabs Arisu again.

I help her up off the ground, as much as I want to help Arisu... Aguni is twice my size in weight and height. "I know everything!" I look down at Usagi who grabs my hand and pulls herself up. "You're going after Arisu even though you know he didn't do it." I think all of us know that queen.

"And that's... Because you're the witch!" I raise an eyebrow. Aguni, the witch? It would make sense but I think he just wants to kill people at this point. But why?

He punches Arisu again. Usagi falls down with him as he crashes into her. She drags me down with her unfortunately. There are three, sitting on the floor staring up at Aguni like children being taught a lesson.

If Arisu and Usagi don't stop breathing this heavy down my ear I'm gonna go on a rampage too.

"Are ya? The witch?" A hesitant boy speaks up from the crowd towards Aguni.

"Yes, I am the witch." Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Everyone takes a step back and militants aim their guns. Aguni steps forward, "Go ahead, do it!" They do nothing but stand there. "Shoot him!" But nobody does.

"Aguni is not the witch!" Ai ai aye what even happened to Arisu, he looks like a mess. "It's a ten of hearts game! It plays with your feelings and your emotions! You're not gonna win by killing Aguni, that's not how the game works!"

Finally somebody speaks the truth. Aguni doesn't seem to please though.. "I know you are not the witch." I look down at Arisu, his eyes ahead at Aguni. "So why then? You gotta have another reason." Reason for killing all these people?
