❝This is our aquarium, in which fishes, each differing from height and strength are living in harmony. Some small fishes manage to eat up the bigger ones from time to time, but never forget that I am the shark ruling over this ocean.❞ -Matsuno Osoma...

He drops his now useless hand and grips at the fabric of his hoodie. He tightens his grip onto it as his adrenaline slowly grows more relevant and doesn't take his eyes off [Name]. He can't. He won't.
Is she even aware of what she's doing to me? Does she even know how she makes me feel deep down?
His cheeks grow redder and so does the white of her eyes. He narrows his eyes upon her while his smile stretches out beneath his mask.
All those mixed feelings... It's too much for little me to handle! I'm entangled in all those emotions at once!
His sharp teeth dig deeply in his bottom lip, almost drawing blood out of it, and a string of drool slowly starts forming and rolling down his jawline. He watches her open the scissors and cautiously approach one of the five strings that are soon to be four only.
Aahhh... I'll make her pay for toying with me like this.
Ichimatsu bites harder. His chapped lip threatens to pop and bleed out.
Snap.
Clank.
Ichimatsu snaps out of his state in a blink.
"Huh?"
Nothing?
"Nothing, huh..." [Name] sighs and lets the scissors fall off her hand.
Chibita picks up the cards and repeats the ritual. Mixing, dealing, piling and turning the first card over.
This time, it's a white Bishop.
Ichimatsu's time of reaction is slower, he purposely takes his time to review every ten cards in his possession with care. He hums in the process and eventually selects a card to play.
He plays two white Rooks.
It's [Name's] turn to hum in concentration.
She plays the two other, black Rooks.
Ichimatsu instantly counters her cards with the black Queen.
[Name] frowns and huffs. She reluctantly plays her joker with a pout.
"It almost feels like cheating using these cards, you know?" She huffs and shrugs. "But oh well, if it can get me to win this round..."
Chibita and Totoko eye her incredulously, obviously not buying her act. Ichimatsu, however, seems to stare at her in wonder.
He soon snaps out of it and plays the black King. He proceeds with throwing his hand on the table.
