Sora wasn't supposed to be in Shibuya that day. He was supposed to be home, enjoying his break from life, but the role of a lifetime - the...

Sora crossed his arms as he stood in Shibuya Crossing with Usagi, Chishiya, Arisu, and Kuina. They could hear the fireworks going off around them, but they also saw the billboard read: NEXT STAGE. Sora looked up towards the sky, seeing the shadows gathering around them. The large blimps filled the sky with the face cards attached to them.
The waiting was the worst part of all of this – Sora leaned against Kuina's back, staring up at the electronic billboard. No one knew what time it was, but it had to be close to noon, right?
Was Mira fucking with them from the very beginning? Were the face card games just something she made up?
Sora had so many questions running through his head.
"None of the games have started yet." Arisu commented.
"Maybe we still have time." Usagi said.
"Or the forgot to push the big red start button." Chishiya said. Sora couldn't help but laugh at that comment. He could see that happening – Mira seemed cocky, it seemed like a strong possibility.
"They didn't even tell us about the rules for this one." Kuina said.
Sora's laughter died down. "I don't think we'll get the rules, it might be a free for all." Sora pushed himself back onto his feet. "We don't even know where exactly the games are supposed to be – all we have are blimps in the sky." Sora said as he placed his hands behind his head.
Usagi turned suddenly, looking around. Kuina noticed her right away, "What is it?" Usagi didn't answer, she walked between Sora and Chishiya. Sora looked at her, wondering what she was doing.
"I hear something." The group stepped forward, looking towards the road. Several cars appeared, driving straight for them.
"They're alive. Beach people." Kuina pointed out. The cars pulled around them and the players got out. Reika was one of those people – she sighed with relief upon seeing Sora still alive.
Seiji rolled his eyes as he got out of the car he was sharing with two other people. Seiji made his way over to Sora, "And here I thought you died." Sora wasn't surprised by Seiji's words.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing." Sora smirked.
After leaving the Beach, Sora, Chishiya, and Kuina found a new set of clothes. It looked like the remaining Beach players did the same. It was odd seeing everyone dressed in normal clothing again rather than in bikinis and swim shorts. It really showed how a person dressed normally. Sora could see that Seiji was your average university student, maybe you could consider him a fuckboy. But it was interesting.
