BYZANTIUM
[You find yourself standing on a wooden platform suspended from the ceiling of a stone dungeon lit by many torches. The platform is held up by 11 woolen threads in your color, and it sways precariously with every movement you make. It doesn’t seem very sturdy at all. . . though in addition to those 11 strings, there are 11 more attached to the side of the platform, one in each other team color. They’re within easy reach.
If you peer over the edge of your platform, you’ll be able to see the floor of the dungeon, though it might not necessarily give you comfort. Dozens of iron, pointy spikes are embedded into the ground, the sharp ends facing up. If you fall, it won’t be a pleasant trip down.
You can also see the other teams suspended on similar platforms around you. They’re far enough away that they probably can’t hear you talking on your own platform, but if you yell, you might be able to communicate. . .]

We're eliminating teams based on the strength of our ties to them, right? It's the same rule we've been using this entire time.
You have a friend on Saffron. She stayed over, I remember. But I don't actually know the person we're meant to protect on Iris.
This is fair.

Who gave you the fucking right to determine what is fucking fair and what isn't, Chrono?! You want to know what would have been fair? If we had left all of the goddamn decisions up to chance. That would have been fair. But fuck no, we couldn't have that. So fine! That's fucking great for us! We're definitely not shitty people now! Except, you know, the next most fair thing would be to let the MOTHERFUCKING team decide TOGETHER what the fuck we wanted to choose!
Stop fucking doing this to me, Chrono. Stop taking my decisions from me like I'm too weak to handle them on my own. I'm not your fucking child.

That is enough.

You know, he just takes it because he knows he deserves it, which I'm sure doesn't actually make it any more satisfying. At all.]
