Chapter 14: Opacity Lifting

Kisho and Tamaya see Kai and Fia first. It takes a moment before they realize as Tamaya asks out, "Wait you guys switched places?" Then Kisho notices, "No shoes for you Kai?" Of course they don't get an immediate response as Kai and Fia are already transfixed on Asher and Evelyn. Kisho and Tamaya slowly look over and just as quickly glance away.

Evelyn speaks up, "Yes. Twenty is a striptease and switching places." Asher glances over at the others realizing two meant switching places again which he's fairly certain Evelyn has noted too as the boxes on all three headboards start to glow.

"Striptease. Well at least it's not death." Kai says trying to look away, but not doing great at it. Fia scowls cutting to the point of this information exchange, "Tickle fight. No I am not joking. I won." Kai cuts in adding, "You were right about increasing voltage Asher."

Kisho and Tamaya look confused and nervous as Tamaya says, "Three is just writing out a secret no one else knows also a um…" Kisho decides to finish for her, "Writing out your sexual fantasy. They know our um browsing history so they don't expect tame stories." The other four nods as the eldest are quick to pick up what might happen to any of them later based on what Kisho and Tamaya wrote under duress. That's when the timer begins for all three. 

Evelyn calls out, "Ten." Fia calls out, "Four." As Kisho decides, "Fourteen." They all go to press their buttons no longer wasting any time. Kisho can already feel the guilt from being literally the only man left standing.
