Sora wasn't going to lie, he expected someone to lie to him after that last round. However, Ippei confirmed Sora's suit was Clubs. Sora knew to trust Ippei's word since he was the only one who was playing the game without lying to anyone. Sora was waiting for someone to lie to him – Urumi in particular.
As the team was telling each other their suits, Sora noticed Enji. Enji was always snacking, but so was Chishiya. However, there was something sticking out to Sora about Enji's constant snacking. Sora decided he'd keep an eye on Enji a little closer. If he couldn't keep an eye on Banda, he could keep a close eye on Enji.
Sora looked back at the players, noticing that Furuta seemed rather untrusting of Urumi, as she should. Sora expected that she'd lie to Urumi, but she didn't. But what surprised Sora was her death. Urumi and the team actually told her the right answer, why'd she die?
Two players died that round – people were going to be dropping like flies now. They could see that no one was safe, and they were no closer to finding Jack. As round six was announced, Ippei paced. Sora leaned against the wall next to Chishiya, eyes following Ippei.
"Why are they all tricking each other?" Ippei asked.
"Wow, are you really surprised?" Chishiya asked. "Nobody wants to be the next to die."
"This is a Hearts game, Ippei, this isn't like the others, it fucks with you mentally. It pushes you to the extreme to the point you question what you do." Sora glanced over his shoulder. "Trust me."
"How many Hearts games have you players?"
"This is my fourth." Ippei's eyes nearly bugged out of his skull. Sora pointed to Chishiya, "Just ask him, he keeps telling me Hearts games are my specialty." Sora pushed himself away from the wall between two of the cells. "You have to suspect everyone, including us. Anybody could be the Jack."
Round six ended with no one betraying each other, but that only meant another round to figure out who Jack was. Waiting around for round seven to end seemed like a lifetime. It wasn't like the other times for whatever reason. Another person died during round seven, leaving ten players still active. And one of those ten was Jack.
Sora was mentally eliminating people as he sat at one of the tables. His top three suspects were Banda, Enji, and Urumi – in that order too. Urumi wasn't really on the list, but the way she was eliminating people and convincing the other players to lie on her behalf, she had to be on the list. Banda was still at the tippy top, just by the way he whispered in Seto's ear during the second round.
Sora snacked on some gummies, nearly choking on one when the first player almost slipped up upon telling Urumi her suit. The look on Urumi's face said it all. Sora smirked at the shocked expression. She was going through it. That shock turned to anger – oh, here comes the Urumi she was hiding.
