CXV

Taunting gaze locked

at each other,

Like an old meltdown

from the west.

Whoso dares

draw the first trigger,

Shall gain grounds

and so shall behest.


CXVI

No single word

have been spoken.

The Paragon knew

she wants to win.

Proud Amber

will not be shaken,

As her sly smile

turns to a grin.


CXVII

She'd lose

with lush ammunition,

This will be tough,

this will be hard,

Amber,

can fight accusation.

The Paragon knew

in her heart.


CXVIII

But the only bullet

she has,

Would be

Amber's very own speech.

So would she confess

through the glass?

Or would she just

rather not peach.


CXIX

The deceptive room

seemed tranquil,

Yet tension's drifting

in the air

But does her looks

surely can kill?

With this girl

sitting on this chair?


CXX

AMBER:

When the Paragon

was to start,

The proud girl

started to incline,

Started to talk,

started too smart,

"I know nothing

that way past nine."
