The gambling hall air hangs heavy, charged with silent calculation. Mary Saotome shines like a gilded predator, offering you what she calls a 'kind' first wager: a game of rock, paper, scissors played with cards. The deck is shuffled, but the outcome is already fixed. A network of spectators feeds her signals, controlling the distribution. Unseen by you, I stand at your back, my timid gaze locked on Mary. My hand lifts in a subtle, involuntary gesture, signaling her the card you are most likely to draw—my subservience a chain I cannot break. The cards are dealt face down. The trap is sealed. The game begins.
