    "Please. Don't tell them to lock me away."Adaeze's voice came thin through the infirmary tent's canvas wall, and Joy stopped just outside, hand still raised toward the flap.Inside, Adaeze lay propped against a thin pillow, her arm bound tight in a splint, a bandage wrapped stark white across her hairline. Her eyes found Joy's the moment she stepped in, and they filled fast with tears that spilled before either of them said another word."I know you hate me," Adaeze said, voice shaking. "I would hate me too."Joy stayed near the entrance, watching, saying nothing yet."I saw a file on you," Adaeze went on, words tumbling quick, like she'd practiced them and now couldn't stop them from coming. "Before I ever came here. They told me you were dangerous. That you'd already hurt people who got close to you. I believed it, Joy. I thought if I didn't strike first, you'd strike me. I was scared. I'm still scared."A tear slid down her cheek. She didn't wipe it away.Joy walked closer, slow,

    Joy didn't stop running until she reach the open field where the rest of Team Sun still work through the afternoon's challenges, chest heaving, umbrella clutch so tight against her body her knuckles had gone pale.Kian spot her first, and the moment he see her face, he abandon whatever task he was working on and cross the field fast, alarm plain in his eyes. "Joy? What happen? You're shaking—""Adaeze," Joy gasp out, barely able to catch her breath. "She attack me. Behind the rocks. She had a sword, Kian, she try to cut me—""What?" Serena appear beside them fast, having heard enough of the exchange to abandon her own section of the field. "Are you hurt? Did she—""I'm fine," Joy said quick, holding up her uninjured arms to prove it. "The umbrella. It—" she hesitate, still trying to understand fully what had happen herself. "It stop her. Threw her back hard. She's hurt bad, broken arm maybe, but she was still breathing when the guards took her."Kian's jaw tighten, fury and relief mix

    Joy turn her head just in time to see the flash of metal, Adaeze's sword already swinging fast toward her exposed arm.She jerk back on pure instinct, stumbling hard against the rock behind her, and the blade miss her skin by only inches, slicing empty air instead where her arm had been a heartbeat before.For one long, frozen second, Joy simply stare, shock flooding through her whole body as the truth finally settle in clear and undeniable."You," Joy breathe, voice shaking. "This whole time... you were never really here to win. You were sent to hurt me."Adaeze straighten slow, sword still grip tight in her hand, and instead of denying it, instead of pretending innocence the way Joy half expect, she simply smile, cold and tired, the mask of friendliness finally dropping away completely."Took you long enough to notice," Adaeze said, voice flat now, stripped of all the warmth she had carry these past weeks. "I was hoping to finish this quiet, without you even knowing my face when it

"A trial where the girl is isolated, where guard is thin, where opportunity is finally given instead of stolen in secret."He turn to face them fully, decision already firm in his mind. "Announce a new trial," he said. "Divide all remaining contestants into two teams. Team against team, a competition within the competition. This way, Adaeze can position herself close beside the girl, without suspicion, without anyone else interfering.""A clever plan, sir," one advisor said, nodding slow."It better work," the Omega said sharp. "I am done waiting for results that never come."---That night, exhaustion pull Joy into a sleep deeper than she had experience in weeks, and somewhere inside that sleep, a dream begin to form around her, so vivid, so real, it felt like more than s

    Days pass, and Adaeze find no chance at all to do what she was sent to do.She try first during a group meal, sitting close beside Joy, small blade hidden careful inside her sleeve, waiting for the right moment when no one was watching close. But just as she reach slow toward Joy's arm, Kian turn suddenly, eyes landing direct on her hand, and she pull back fast, pretending to only reach for her own cup instead."Sorry," she said quick, smiling careful. "Almost knock over my drink."Kian said nothing, but his eyes stay sharp on her the rest of that meal, and Adaeze understood clear that her window had already close.She try again two days later, during the evening rest period, when Joy walk alone toward the water station to refill her cup. Adaeze follow quiet, blade ready, heart steady with the same cold calm she always carry into jobs like this.But just as she near close enough, Serena appear suddenly from around the corner, calling out to Joy about something unimportant, and the mom

    Three days after Joy's attack, the game house gates open again, this time to receive the new wave of contestants the Omega's announcement had summon.Joy stood with Kian near the edge of the field, her injured hand still wrap careful in fresh bandage, watching the new arrivals file through the same registration process she remember from weeks ago — biometric scans, blood draws, the same cold efficiency that had felt so overwhelming her very first day."Something feel strange about this," Serena said, joining them, arms cross as she study the crowd of new faces mixing now among the sixty-four survivors who remain from the original group. "Why would they suddenly need new contestants this deep into the competition?""Numbers are low," Farrah offer, though even she didn't sound fully convince by her own words. "Maybe they just want a bigger final field for the Final Eight trials.""Or maybe," Kian said quiet, eyes scanning the crowd with the same wariness that had never fully leave him s
