_{[The ceiling was the least interesting thing possible to contemplate, which was exactly why Sayaka was staring up at it, trying to just bore herself into thinking of something she could actually do. So far, she'd just wheeled herself in circles - they had to lose challenges so that the rest of the tower didn't have to face this. But if they lost challenges, someone else would be.. eliminated, like before. ..it was clear what the right decision was, to save the whole tower -

Something was wrong. Well, that was a given, but this was more in the immediate sense - something was wrong in her direct vicinity and it felt like one would describe an icy hand on their shoulder. Sayaka sits up in a rush, to see - and stare in confusion at - a little boy with unfathomably blue eyes just a few feet away.

In the cell.

Well, that's a new one.]}
