❂ 002 ❂ VOICE

[innocentvow]

[The message starts with a bit of hiccuping, the voice of a young girl struggling to talk through tears.]

Marino-

[As she continues to speak, she occasionally is forced to stutter through a word, or her breath will hitch on more crying, but she keeps talking.]Why haven't you called back? I'm stuck here and I can't find my way h- home

Have you noticed?

[innocentvow]

Can't I just forfeit?

audio;

[antimafioso]

The answer to that should be obvious.

Why not try to win?

audio;

[innocentvow]

I don't care if I win a game like this.

audio;

[antimafioso]

Even if you get to go home?

audio;

[innocentvow]

That's the grand prize?

audio;

[antimafioso]

It's possible.

audio;

[innocentvow]

I don't want "possible", I want "is"!

audio;

[antimafioso]

Too bad. You'll have to compromise. Unless you want to spend the next day, the following week, the months after this crying. It sounds tiring.

audio;

[innocentvow]

I won't cry-

audio;

[antimafioso]

Is that a promise? To Marino.

audio;

[innocentvow]

To Marino!
