Leon would put the newest figure on it's rightful spot on the boardgame. Roan looks at Rose, who is quietly just lost in thoughts. "Still feel the guilt of killing innocent people?" Roan asked. "Shut up, Roan, you did it too." She says. "Well maybe the boardgame made us drop the plate, so that we wouldn't be able to kill you." He'd say. "I've tried playing Jeremiah's game, and look where it's got me?" Rose asked. "All of you have voted me in every chance you had!" She said, tearing up. "But I'm done playing by the rules!" She said. "I'm playing by my own rules now, this aviator is flying solo." She'd say, and she'd turn around and walk the other way. "R...Rose? What are you saying?" Leon asked. "Have you ever questioned why we killed them?" Rose asks. "You mean why you killed them." Roan says. "It doesn't matter! If you're so desperate to stop me, then why would you keep rolling?" Rose asked. "Why did we have to make a necklace that wound up taking Rhea's life? I'm going to find out, and no one, not even you guys or Jeremiah can stand in my way!" She'd say. "Rose, are you crazy? Snooping around will get you killed for sure!" Meghan said. "There's more to this game than just surviving it!" Rose yelled. She'd walk out of the room to the captain's office. "Damn, she really did that." Roan said. "I don't even know what to say now." Roi says. "I'm with Rose on this one." Meghan says. "I bet the trials are rigged for her." Roan says. "Listen, the only reason you can say that she has killed three people is because you all decided to put her out there!" Meghan pointed out. "It's not like we had a choice." Roi said. "You too?" Meghan asks. "Shit." She'd say, turn around and walk away. 

"If they want to keep rolling the dice of death all night, I'm not gonna bother stopping them anymore." Rose says. "There has to be something in here that can prove to everyone that I'm  right..." She looked through the bookshelves. Meghan walked in. "Hi Rose..." She said. "Not now, Meghan." Rose responded. "Rose, I'm sorry you were voted in again, I couldn't stop them from voting you." Meghan said. "You couldn't stop them? Or you just went along with it?" Rose asked, without looking at Meghan, still looking through the shelves. "But I understand why." Rose said. "I survived three trials straight! I managed to put an unintentional target on my back with Roan and I have no one else left to trust." She'd say. "Not even me?" Meghan asked. "Who's left to trust?" Rose asked. "I came here for answers! Instead I was targeted enemy number one when Jeremiah started us on this road to death." She said. "Have it your way then, I'll see you later." Meghan said, and she walked off.  

Roi would be left alone back at the boardgame. "I think me being left alone here means they consider me a weak link." He'd say. "Why can't I be the one to take actions for a change?" He grabs the dice and rolls them, resulting in a three. "Oh no!" He'd say. The ship started entirely shaking. The others came running down. "What have you done?!" Leon asks. "I just rolled the dice!" Roi says. "A three?!" Roan asked. "That means Espen's death was for nothing!" Meghan yells. Everyone is barely hearable, it started to storm outside, lightning everywhere and the loud noises of the waves overpowering their voices. A lighting bolt striked on the deck. The group bolted upstairs and once outside, they saw someone.
