Byran stood tall and declared firmly, "How could you, an outsider, possibly know what's going on in my family? Who do you think you are?"
"Alright then, Byran! For now, I'll treat her as your sister! Last time we played a mobile game, I lost to you two. You were just lucky to meet a high-level player! This time, we're playing escape room. I want to see if you two are still so lucky. I'm looking forward to seeing you two freaking out of your wits in a moment!"
"We'll see who's crying first!" Byran shot back without missing a beat.
"We'll find out soon enough!" Julius sneered, then led his four friends into the escape room club.
Pumped up, Byran turned to Ellinor: "Let's go! Let's join them!"
Ellinor frowned, "Did I ever say I was going with you?"
Byran looked annoyed and grabbed her, "Now is not the time to back out! Get in there with me!"
Backing out? She was just an observer, not even involved! What does this have to do with her?
Seeing everyone entering, Candida and her two friends followed Byran into the escape room club...
...
Inside the escape club.
Julius and his group chose the scariest room theme "Horror Hospital" and then taunted Byran about his opinion.
Byran wasn't scared, "Whatever! I can handle any theme!"
The three girls led by Candida, however, looked hesitant about the "Horror Hospital", a notoriously terrifying theme, and timidly moved closer to Byran, "Byran, can we three be in your team?"
"Sure!" Byran didn't mind.
