*himeko awakens to find herself back in the closet with the door opening. slipping back into sleep, the Other luna carries her over her shoulder and sets her down onto a table and resumes cooking. himeko awakens*

himeko: huh?

Other luna: good day, himeko.

himeko: *looks at the Other luna* what am i doing here?

Other luna: i pulled you out of the closet. while i did send you in there as punishment, i'll be merciful *adds coldly* this time. want some breakfast?

himeko: *sits down and stares at the breakfast* i'm not sure.

Other luna: it's fine. i made it myself.

himeko(thought): i was afraid of that.
himeko: do you like games?

Other luna: oh, i love games! why?

himeko: would you be much happier if you won me fair and square?

Other luna: perhaps. what are you offering in this game?

himeko: me. if you win, you can have me and i'll stay here and play with you and be a good friend to you. i'll also let you sew buttons into my eyes.

Other luna: *smirks but frowns* and what happens if i lose?

himeko: then you let me, my friends, and those three children go free.

Other luna: *thinks about it* what kind of game is it?

himeko: it's an exploring game.

Other luna: alright, we'll play.

himeko: but, you have to swear you'll keep your word.

Other luna: i swear on my half-brother's unknown father's grave.

himeko: does he even have a grave?

Other luna: of course. i found him dead on the side of the road and buried him. when he got up and walked around, i just picked him up and put him back.

himeko: ...swear on something else so i know you'll keep your word.

Other luna: my right hand. i swear on my right hand. *holds it out for himeko to shake*

himeko: deal. *they shake hands and himeko leaves the room after gobbling down her breakfast*

Other luna: good luck! *when himeko leaves she says coldly* you'll need it.
