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...

Arisu was the last person that Sora expected to see when it came to the Joker card. After their group therapy sessions, Sora hadn't seen Arisu or Usagi since then. They had moved on after their last session – from what Sora knew, they got married at some point. It was nice to hear that Usagi and Arisu got together after everything that happened in the borderlands. However, if Arisu was here, was Usagi too?
Sora hightailed it out of there, but as he went to head back to where his group was, the announcement of the third round began. Sora barely had time to react before someone tagged him. Sora was taken away to one of the designated places to play this game. This time Sora purposely lost. But he saw the hesitation on the player's face when picking their cards. Sora could tell they were either hesitating because they were already a zombie, or they had a shotgun. Sora kept his composure as he played.
While Sora sat there, losing his first round on purpose, he made a decision.
"I have the Vaccine card." Sora held up his desk of cards, announcing it to his entire group. Sora kept an eye on the expressions of the players in front of him – it was something he needed to do. Before someone questioned the authenticity of his words, Sora flipped the desk over to show off the Vaccine card. Again, he watched his group's expressions. Outing himself with the vaccine was a bold move, something Sora would have done regardless of who he was playing with, but this was play that interested everyone.
Everyone would have to lie around him, unless they wanted to be cured. Sora saw Yuumi's expression upon the announcement – yes, Sora planned on working alongside him, but he needed to show off something everyone was looking for. The others would want to either identify who had the special cards or just hope for the best. Sora's group were already scheming amongst each other, leaving Sora out of it. So, he now had the upper hand.
They had to keep him alive.
Sora walked over to Yuumi, placing his hand on his shoulder just as the announcement was given for the fourth round. Sora turned Yuumi, heading off in the direction of one of the spots. Sora took his seat across from Yuumi. "What the fuck was that?" he asked. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Sora shook his head, laying out two Diamond cards. "No, they'll want to keep me alive. And keep me from turning into a zombie." Sora stated. Sora also wanted the others to find out that there was a confirme Vaccine card out there. It would make him less of a target to make into a zombie. While he couldn't cure himself, as per the rules, Sora was a valuable player. "That also means, anyone who is a zombie, if they want to be cured, will have to come to me. If we want to stay human, it's the best option." Sora shrugged.
The pair flipped their cards over, causing Yuumi to pump his fists into the air. He won against Sora for a round, giving him a fifth card. Sora didn't mind losing the two of Hearts – he'd find other cards to take.
