Chapter 6: "So This Is Your Game…"
The luxurious room is in ruins.
Cracks on the marble floor. Blood splattered across the elegant curtains.
Time has just unfrozen—
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka stands at the center. Eyes half-lidded. Calm. Cold. Observing.
All eight Suzunes freeze, their battle scars fresh.
Their breathing heavy.
Their love—raw.

🕶️ Ayanokoji turns to Rei.
Ayanokoji:
> "So… only one gets to return to her world with me?"
Rei (smirking):
> "No no. That's not what I said."
"I don't care who goes back. Eventually, you'll all return. When I'm done watching."
Ayanokoji:
> "...So it's just entertainment for you."
Rei:
> "Exactly. Drama. Conflict. Love. Loss."
"You're all such beautiful puppets in pain."
"So go ahead. Bleed. Cry. Fight. Make me feel something."
---
🧠 Ayanokoji narrows his eyes.
He already understands.
This isn't about love.
This isn't about fate.
This is a controlled chaos experiment.
> "Understood," Ayanokoji says quietly.
"Then… I'll play along. Alone."
He turns toward the Suzunes—each one frozen in confusion, rage, and longing.
> "You all fought to prove something.
But I don't belong to any of you.
Not yet."

💔 The Suzunes React:
#2 (Gentle Wife): "But… you're my husband."
#3 (Battle Queen): "You gave me your sword."
#6 (Royal): "We ruled together."
#8 (Yandere): "You're mine. That's not negotiable."
#7 (Widow): "…Don't take him from me again."
#1: "…Please. Just look at me."

🧊 Ayanokoji (with emotionless calm):
> "I won't be manipulated.
Not by Rei.
Not by emotion.
Not even by love."
> "If you want me…"
"Then convince me.
But not through blood.
Through truth."
He walks to the shattered glass table, sits down, and crosses his legs.
> "Rei. Let them stay.
Let them talk.
I'll choose who I want to walk out with…
once I understand everything."
---
🧬 Rei grins wide.
Rei:
> "Ooooh~
So cold. So logical. So very you, Ayanokoji."
"Fine. Let's change the game."
> "No more fighting.
Let's have each Suzune show who they are."
"Tell their story. Show their pain.
Share what you meant to them."
> "But be warned…
The more you know,
the harder it'll be to choose."

🥀 Final Scene:
As Ayanokoji sits like a judge, the Suzunes are given chairs around him, like a twisted courtroom of love.
Each one holds a memory orb—Rei's creation.
One by one, they must reveal a piece of their past with him.
Painful. Beautiful. Shocking. Twisted. Real.
And Ayanokoji?
He watches.
Silent.
Processing.
Planning.
