Amethyst's head dropped, and she leaned back against a wall. "... That's to be expected. Obviously."

"... Hey. How many people died in that bombing? Do you have a number?"

Sun Taikong's eyes grew distant. "While I rested in a hospital bed, recovering from my injuries, people died all around me. Not all from the bombing, mind you. I was in that clinic for many weeks, and the war didn't end just because of a single air raid. But early on, yeah, a lot of them were from the Temple, dying days later from their injuries despite the medical help. Countless more died during the bombing itself, like my dad. I don't have a number though. It's not a time I like to think about."

Mei speaks up, "Taikong, who do you think it couldn't be, out of all of us?"

"Well it couldn't be you, obviously," Sun Taikong said unquestioningly. "Nor Sunny. Otherwise... Well, Cat chose all of us for a reason. We're all hiding things. There are some here who I'd have no reason to expect to be at the Temple that day, yet could well have been. I'm not taking any chances."

"Why do you think they did it?" Amethyst followed up. "If the device is here, that must mean the traitor was too. They gave away a position they were in. Why?"

"I don't know!" Sun Taikong yelled stubbornly. "These aren't the actions of a sane person! Only Yang could predict such a thing."

"They are the reason my father is dead!" Sun Taikong roared back. "So what if they had some grand motivation for it? Only 4 of us get to leave here alive, and they sure as hell aren't going to be one of them."

"As if we could find the reason anyway," Mei says, with a tone that shows she's practically given up, "We won't even be able to get them to confess... where do we even start?"

"Grand is too strong a word for it." Amethyst sighed, hugging herself. "It's petty, even. Meaningless in the end."

Amethyst weakly raised her hands. "I have no weapons, and nowhere to run. But if holding that makes you feel better, then I'll play along."

"I need to ask another question to explain things. What do you think of China? Why do you fight for this country?"

The question surprised him, and he lowered his gun. "China, huh... I suppose fighting for my country was the 'right' thing to do, at first. I was conscripted, it's what Mao and the others told me to do, and it was either that or let the US kill more of my countrymen. Not very deep, I know, but it's the sort of reasoning most of us in the army had. What did we know? We were just ordinary Chinese citizens until the terrorist attack.

"Now, though? Now I've seen the truth, first-hand," he continued bitterly. "Their soldiers are just like ours, fighting a pointless cause because it's 'right'. And none of us are. Neither side's worth fighting for. You wouldn't believe the sheer amount of corruption in our government, destroying this country from the inside. Or maybe you would, either way. That fucker Mao? I considered shooting him and Fujisaki earlier. The world would be a slightly better place with him gone."

He paused for a moment. "So there you have it. That about the answer you were expecting?" He punctuated the statement by raising the gun again.

Amethyst nodded. "I thought you would be reasonable. I don't just believe you, I agree with you on almost everything. People like Mao... They are everywhere in this country, and especially in the military."

"You are completely right, Sun Taikong. The world would be a better place without people like Mao in it, and it would be immeasurably worse if China won the war and people like him gained even more power."

"That's why I leaked this base's location to the Americans."

Juanli turned around and pulled Sunny into a hug, gently stroking his hair while simultaneously turning him away from the clearly awful scene unfolding in front of them.

"Please Mr Sun...I don't CARE about what happened in the past, the bombing was a horrible tragedy that's scarred so many here but anything you do here won't change that or make that burden any easier on us." she cried gently patting Sunny on the back.

"What matters now...is that we pick up the pieces and carry on while hurting people as little as possible...it's not fair, it's cruel...just like war as Madam Yang surely wishes to teach us from everything."

Datamatt wrote:

"Let Amethyst leave instead of some weird, insufferable... whatever Yin is. She can't even leave," Mei says, rubbing her eyes.

Juanli's head whipped around to Mei "You think I don't know that?" Juanli hissed, her eyes wet with tears. "It's like Miss Amethyst says...this is a false choice, clearly unfair and rigged against us. With Sunny over there...letting Yin go is the only way I can go with him." she hugged Sunny tightly. "After being apart...separated by the bomb...he can't stay here but I can't leave him alone out there. This is the only way we can still be together."

"Straight from the monkey's mouth," Sun Taikong said, snarling. "You know what this means, don't you? You're giving your spot to a ghost who doesn't even need to escape. I'm not going to say I don't understand why you did it. Knowing what I know now, I'd have even done the same thing in your position. But you're the reason my dad's dead. He was a volunteer. He joined up solely so he could accompany me, and died senselessly. You don't get to leave through that Gate after what you did."

Mei recoils - not only was she wrong again, what Juanli says evidently resonates with her. Defeated, she just frowns and slides down the wall, folding her arms and resting them on her knees, obviously having no counter-argument.

"You don't need to do this Mr Sun..." Juanli said quietly "Sunny has already seen enough, and... and we might be able to come back with help...or or maybe the bomb could be disarmed? Or we could send the lift back up maybe?" Juanli shakes her head. "You don't need to do this..."

"I don't."

Amethyst looked Taikong right in the eyes. "I couldn't do anything. Mao survived, and the war continued on. All I did was kill a bunch of innocent people... The best I did was get Yang out of Chinese hands, and even then she ended up in this game."

"... And this is where the cat's plan takes us. Sunny needs to live, so he takes spot number one. I need to die, so Yin takes number three. And Juanli needs to take care of Sunny, so Suyin takes number two to make sure her team has the majority. We're not being forced to do anything, the way the game is laid out makes this the only right answer. That's Cat's plan..."

Sun Taikong was clearly conflicted. On the one hand, he strongly sympathised with Amethyst's feelings. On the other hand, she was the reason his father was dead: she was the cause of his PTSD, his nightmares, his completely ruined life. He glanced over at Juanli, but didn't lower the gun. "That's a lot of 'maybes', but Amethyst might be right. All of this could be the inevitable result of Cat's, of perhaps Yang's, planning. If so, those 'maybes' won't go anywhere. This is all we've got."

He refocused his attention on Amethyst, gun and all, but addressed everyone else. "I got what I wanted, but we still have to play the Battle of Earth. Does anyone else have anything to say? Our choices here will affect all our lives."

Mei deliberates on what Taikong said for a while. She grips her knees tighter snd tighter, until she finally forces a sentence through,

"I... don't want to leave, but..." Her grip only gets tighter as she cuts herself off.

"I would like to leave," X says, her face appearing in front of Taikong's. "I am not content to stay and continue to experience life inside of a small, sterile room. Perhaps someone more appreciative of a peaceful life should take my place here."

“I need immediate medical attention, Rat. Additionally, the Dragon has lived longer than me. He has been conscious for many years, but I have only had one,” X explains to Taikong, her hair falling where her eyes would be. “Of course, there is still a reason why you took that gun, and you will be deciding everything for us. I can’t change that.”

"I'd rather not threaten everyone just to get my way. The gun is a deterrent; hopefully our final decision comes from a majority agreement. I realise it will be difficult for you to accept Sunny should leave, though. Your way of thinking is far too different from mine for us to so easily agree on something like this."

"This war was caused by people like Mao on one side butting heads with people just like him on the other!" Sun Taikong yelled back. "Don't you see? It's just like Amethyst said. She tried to stop the war by herself, but the people in power are just too stubborn for that, so nothing changed. One person couldn't end the war, and one person couldn't start it. Those in power play the game regardless of what the pieces say or do. There would always be some other excuse to start this war. The problem is, and always has been, those in charge!"

"That doesn't excuse what I did! If I didn't let the ambassador escape the hospital, if I-- if I just hadn't marked him as dead, then n-none of this would've happened!" Mei shouts, standing up and evidently on the verge of tears, "I wouldn't have had to constantly see people die under my hands! Your own dad w-wouldn't be dead!"

"Will nothing I say change your mind?" he responded pleadingly. "This would have happened either way. I don't know what you're blaming yourself for, but you could be that damn stadium bomber for all I care, it's all the same: no matter what you did or didn't do, the Maos of this world would have found some excuse. They'd go to war over trade, or nuclear disagreements, or they'd just make up some conspiracy or other. Already, both sides of this conflict claim they're the ones in the 'right', and that the other side did the 'wrong' thing, even though it was only one single incident that apparently 'caused' it! Both sides scramble to find some justification for why they're the good guys. They're only looking for an excuse."

“Do you consider the Monkey a decision-maker in this war? Do you believe that sending that one flimsy message puts her with the likes of the political leaders who have controlled this war?” X asks Taikong in the middle of the discussion, clearly growing rather impatient with him. “Certainly the Monkey deserves the same considerations that the Horse would. The Monkey made the best choice she could given the information available to her. At the same time you have the absolute choice of who gets to leave, so the rational thought process doesn’t matter.”

“In my case, maybe I should make it more clear as to why I should be one to leave,” she says to herself, even as she faces down Taikong.

"Amethyst achieved something on a horrific scale and not even that altered the tide of the war. The only way the war can end is if people work together to stop it," Sun Taikong said, staring X down intently.

"I said it before. If I was in Amethyst's position back then, knowing how our country was heading to ruin, I might have done the same as her. She did the best she could. But she also killed my father. I make no claims that I'm doing the right thing by demanding she stay behind here, but you can't change my mind. Maybe the only difference between Mei and Amethyst is that Amethyst was unlucky enough that I was here too. So be it."

If I hadn't let that person go, that war wouldn't have happened! Am I supposed to not feel guilty over the countless people that died because of it? Their blood is on my hands, Taikong! Just like Amandi's!" She shouts. After letting those words hang in the air for a bit, she buries her head into her palms, "I didn't even want to be saved from the Stadium..."

"Well you're wrong!" Sun Taikong shouted, before sighing. "I know I'm not going to be able to convince you of that, though. Not in just a few hours while a bomb ticks down nearby, at any rate. Just, please, consider the good you can do by leaving!"

"We can't just let Sunny leave without his mother." Amethyst argued. "I don't think this is fair to Mei or X, but we can't keep a child here next to a bomb. And Suyin is the minister of justice! She has the best shot out of any of us at getting help."

Juanli nods along, the point has been made plenty "You should put down the gun, then we can just go Mr Sun. Me and my sister will go get help," she looked at X, her eyes lingering on her wound.

"About your injury, while I think I know where we are if this is the Temple of the Sun then we'll not be far from the city. We'll flag down a car or something, call for help immediately. Miss Mei is a trained medic, it's better if you stay with her, maybe form some bandages from the duvet in the playroom but you aren't leaving here at the cost of my son. I'm sorry about that."

“The bomb is only powerful enough to kill someone on the inside of the playroom if it detonated there. Anyone here will be fine,” X says dismissively at Amethyst.

"...She's completely lost it." She looks at Taikong's gun. "You might have to actually use that thing."
