In a room where there is only Shane..

" Thank you, Shane." said Anna.

" Don't be too glad first. I haven't vote yours." said Shane.
" You voted pigeon, right ?" whispered Anna.
" Yeah."

Shane said so with a cold tone.
" Ehh ?!" said Anna surprised.
" Someone voted mine."
" Then you didn't.."
Shane glances at Anna, " I voted all of them, Pigeon."
Anna turns to Shane smiling, " It's okay, it won't be dangerous if you were voted Pigeon too."
Shane turns to Anna.
" What if I was voted Crow ?"
"...ah ! Everyone will lose a million, but you will get 10 million !"
