(Viewpoint: ki-moon)
The discreet one stays at the bottom.
The amputee man leans against the wall.
And her.
The Chef.
She doesn't speak.
She observes, she observes me.
I'm not forcing you to do anything, but letting them win without lifting a finger... you don't have family or friends that this game has taken from you. I have nothing left to lose.
– I will do everything to take them with me.
I am sitting with my back against the wall.
Still surrounded by sheets.
He looks like a shipwreck survivor.
One eye less.
Pale skin.
Split lips.
That doesn't really bother me.
"How did you end up here?" asked the tall man.
Silence .
I look at them one after the other, I don't know any of them.
One by one.
I analyze them.
"I don't really remember," I murmured.
The hoarse voice.
But stable.
The Chief steps forward.
"That's good," she said.
She got up and went out
– let's leave the
She turns away and disappears behind the door.
"Ki-Moon, is that right?" the little girl whispered.
– Do you know where you are?
she asks me, skipping along
I instead watched the others who were following the leader.
Then my eyes return to the wooden walls.
The fire crackling in the fireplace.
The white window.
Then he shakes his head.
– Non.
Silence.
I felt strangely good; it was comfortable.
"Me neither, I don't know," said the little girl.
I frown slightly.
– Why did you ask me then?
I lower my eyes.
– (I need to find a way to get back into the game)
squeezing my wrist
I have lost my only means.
This strange silence persists.
Then :
"How do you survive?" I asked.
The sentence falls.
Brutal.
The little girl tensed up immediately.
– we hunt and exchange them for vitality points.
I raise my head.
– huh?, towards where?
Immediate silence.
"I don't know," she said calmly.
– I'm just following along, they're collecting points for the whole village.
I tilt my head slightly.
– the boss?
"Obviously," she said, bumping my shoulder.
I look away.
A heavy silence followed.
I stare at my aching hand.
– Frost, I said.
approaching the fire without even realizing it.
"How do we get out of here?" I asked.
– To be honest, I don't know anything at all…
The little girl murmured
– I'm not looking to leave, so I'm not wasting time if that's something.
She looks at me with a sad expression.
I almost regret having spoken.
His gaze pierces me.
– Did you leave your girlfriend there?
she said
I stare at her in surprise, my eyes wide open.
She froze and stepped back.
Then
– HA AHAHAAH hahahahahahah
I burst out laughing
– Ouch, ouch, ouch…
They will be my abdomen.
I had almost forgotten the pain
"You...you scared me!" she said suddenly.
A little more relaxed
The question took my breath away.
– I found it funny
he gives a slight smile.
The fire seems more discreet.
– (This village is just a stopover; I'll leave once I have enough information)
– I don't understand why the Chief brought you back.
(He doesn't have the look of a survivor.
He has the look of a future problem.
– Yes, I simply said.
Lost in my thoughts
She went out and closed the door behind her.
I stared at the reflections in the fire
