I don't. [Point-blank.] But we had a deal and I don't like backing out on those if I can help it. [It's why he's usually the one making them. It's easier to set the terms. But in the interest of understand the strange marks, he knows he has to contribute, too.]
...like I said, the AB game was a choice we had to make in the Decision Game. We'd solved a puzzle to get out of the room we were in, but the exit still didn't open. [There's hesitance then.] Our third teammate was knocked unconscious. We'd just learned that Q-Team had been killed. It was just us and D-Team. ...there was another door we hadn't looked in. So Carlos and I went to see what it was, and it was some weird pedestal. Each of us had a screen and the rules were already up when we checked.
"Stand before the monitor and vote to either Ally or Betray. You must vote at the same time. If the timing is off, everyone within the shelter will be executed. Both of you will start with 3 BP. This number will change based on the voting results. If both choose ally, both will gain 3 BP. If both choose Betray, all BP points remain the same. If Carlos chooses Ally and Junpei chooses Betray, Carlos loses 3 BP while Junpei gains 6 BP. If Carlos chooses Betray and Junpei chooses Ally, Carlos gains 6 BP while Junpei loses 3 BP."
[...he still hasn't let go of her hand.] "When either player's BP reaches 9, the exit door will unlock. If your BP drops to 0, you will be executed. The bracelet will administer a muscle relaxant into your bloodstream. In this way, you will at least receive a peaceful death. Beware: others will share the same fate as you. If Carlos dies, Diana and Sigma will die as well." [Another pause.] "If Junpei dies, Akane and Phi will die. Make your choice carefully."
Carlos and I talked about it. What we'd vote for? He brought up the point that if we chose to ally twice, we'd add 6 points to our initial 3 and we'd both get 9 BP. Nobody would die, and we could escape. We knew that Zero was trying to kill us, so...it didn't make sense. We took the time to think about it so we wouldn't mess it up.
[...] Carlos is a good person. We both had people we needed to protect, we couldn't die in that shelter. He said that we needed to ally, and...I agreed. But when we went back into the room I...[Hm.] I told you. To get out of the shelter, we were told we needed six X-Passes for the X-Door to open. With Q-Team dead, we had three already. And by choosing Betray...another three would be obtained.
[He's staring somewhere past her shoulder.] You'd do anything for the person you loved the most, wouldn't you? You'd think most people would. I thought Carlos would have picked Betray, too, for that reason. How was I to know he'd actually be so...trusting?

So. I won that round. [...yay...]
