[ You're herded into what would be the hallway but instead it's another room - a smaller version of the bedroom. Except on the bed is six glass boxes, each with a pretty impressive padlock keeping them shut.

What may be more interesting however is that in each glass box is a bodypart of your 'damsel'. One box for the head, one for the left hand, one for the right hand, one for the left foot, one for the right foot and one long box for the torso and limbs of course.

On the windowsill (if you take time to look out the window you'll see that the streets are filled with people, angry, milling about. . . though not doing anything?) there are six shotglasses, three of which have keys in them. ]

I did say it was a puzzle, yes? Sometimes I can't remember what I've told you. Anyway, they keys won't do you any good until we're done with the rounds, of course. There will be three rounds to 'steal' and then a round for 'desperation' that sounds like fun. How much will you be willing to give . . .?

Yes.

.. I think targetting the same team might be a good idea. If Byzantium is in the same situation as us, they'll be forced to steal as well, as they wasted a round defending.

[shakes her head]

I don't want to go after the same team twice. I'm sorry.

[ .. nods. ]

I understand. There's no helping it, then; either way, we'll likely keep three keys.

But.. that does mean we'll have to work even harder in the desperation round.

We'll see what it comes to. As long as there's still a chance, I won't give up. ...I can't say there are any teams I'm comfortable with stealing from, though.

[ nods. ]

.. I know you're not comfortable with it, but if we're to steal, maybe we should target Copper Rose.

Kaito said so too. If...it's our option, and you two agree, I won't object.

... Later, after this game is over, we should do something together. With Ginger-san.

What do you mean, something?

Mm... I have not thought that far yet. However, I'd like for us to spend some time to relax, since we haven't had much time to do that between these two games.
