"So if there is a spy, like you guys said, we could use them as our trump card?" I asked, sitting on the grass as they sat down as well.

"We can manipulate the information and confuse the enemy. And it's not impossible to create a situation that works in our favor. Especially with you, (Y/N), being around Don and Gildas age, right?" Ray spoke, then asking me directly at the end.

"Yeah, I'm 10 years old, so if that's how old they are then you are correct. Do I really look that young.." I let my voice trail off at the end, skeptical.

"Well, if you were older and sent here, you would have been shipped off immediately after your arrival. If they wanted to keep going both your physical and mental strength, they would have sent you to another farm like Glory Bell, if there was another farm like that still located in Glory Bell. They sent you here most likely to focus on your brain, you just have to think about it." Ray commented snarkily, provoking a hit from Emma on his shoulder.

"Guys, no need to be so hostile." Norman smiled, but his doubts were settling more in, narrowing down for the traitor, but it seemed like there was a new piece in the game that he should have stopped earlier.

"I already made arrangements for that, it really isn't impossible to create a situation that plays out well for us." He said, lacking many details, leaving us intrigued.

"Hey guys! We got enough rest! Let's go to round 2!" Don called out to us, I smiled at him, looking at the others as we stood up collectively and went.

"She's got things under control, that's why mom isn't making a move, even if she knows the targets." Ray calmly spoke.

"As long as we don't make a big move, mom doesn't intend to ship us out immediately or even get in the way of our plan to escape." He continued on. We only nodded in his statement.

"Ray, are things coming along with breaking the tracking devices?" Norman asked, as me and Emma lagged behind them both, linking arms together. I was glad she didn't grab my hand, my sweaty palms would have been a dead giveaway.

"We'll carry out the escape plan ten days from now, on November 8." Norman stopped in his tracks, as me and Emma bumped into the two boys.

"So it's happening so soon, you think we can really do this?" I asked, shocked, nervous, queasy? It's like someone took all the stomach churning emotions and shoved them inside my body.

We entered the library, opening the doors to an awaiting Don and Gilda. Emma and Norman had thought up a lie to tell them, leaving me and Ray to be clueless, hearing the lie in real time as Don and Gilda. I stood near Ray, looking at him and giving him a nervous smile, but he only returned a side-eye, then looked back to Don manically laughing.

"So, what's the punch line? What kind of prank is this?!" Don cried out, wiping a tear from his face, but once no one in the silent room replied, his face grew more and more concerned.

"Wait.. what? Hold on. Then what about mom?" Don shakily said, Emma could only look at the ground and reply solemnly. It was a sight to see, them bringing up their past sibling who went by the name Conny, it brought memories back to me.. Hikaru. My head throbbed, rubbing my temples with my eyes shut. The headaches, they were starting to become harder to fight off, but I didn't have the guts to tell them.

'But when will you tell them? Just how like when will you tell them you're a traitor.' My mind and heart quarreled against itself. I wasn't good at lying, so too much hiding was beginning to weigh me down.
