An Interesting Game That Will Influence The Fate Of The War
The chapter begins withHalkenburg’s funeral processionand people gathering to mourn him. Meanwhile, Borksen’s friends are discussing her location and what could’ve happened to her. They concluded that she was abducted, and as Borksen instructed them that, in the worst possible scenario, they wouldn’t rescue her or negotiate her release. Their conversation is interrupted by a corporal, and they get back to their duties. The scene switches to Borksen, who wakes up in a room and sees Morena in front of her.
Morena calmly asks her to join her side and help her fulfill something. After Borksen hesitates, Morena offers the opportunity to participate in a card game where she can get information from her, but if she loses, she will have to join Morena. If Borksen refuses to participate, she will forfeit the right to do anything except say yes or no. Morena begins to explain the rules of the game. Morena has 7 cards face up and Borksen has 5 cards face down. Borksen’s last card will be the answer to Morena’s request. The game begins with Borksen picking one of Morena’s cards, and after she gets the information, Morena picks one of Borksen’s cards. Each card that is picked is discarded and goes to the “graveyard”.

Borksen’s last card is her answer to Morena’s request. They are a Yes card, a No card, a Return card that can retrieve any of her cards from the graveyard, a Joker card that allows Borksen to answer Yes or No, and an X card that allows her to leave the game and walk out of the room. Each of Morena’s cards represents information that Borksen will get if she picks it. Her cards are one that explains her goals, one that explains her abilities, one that allows Borksen to ask any question, but the answer will be in Yes or No, and Yes and No, one that allows Borksen to ask any question and Morena will answer in detail, one that explains what will happen if Borksen’s last card is No, one that explains what will happen if Borksen’s last card is Yes and one that allows Borksen to retrieve a card from the graveyard as long as she fulfills a simple request for Morena.
