Post-Episode Thirteen
Detention
The first person Five saw when she awoke was Two. She gasped and scrambled away. She still didn't know if she could trust Two. She bumped into someone else.
"Calm down, kid." Five looked behind her to see Three. She was momentarily relieved. Not only was Five not alone with Two, it looked like Two could be trusted after.
She continued to look around the small room. One was there, and also Four. No one else.
Dread rose in her chest. "Where's Six?"
One shook his head sadly.
"He's dead?!"
"No," Two replied. "He's not dead. Six is the traitor."
Pain
"No!" Five cried. "He can't be!"
Six was her friend. The one she trusted more than anyone. He couldn't be the traitor.
The others looked at her with varying degrees of sympathy and pity.
It didn't take long for logic to overwhelm emotion. There was no reason for them to lie to her, and no other explanation for why Six was gone. He must be the traitor.
Five felt a sudden sob rising in her throat as emotion once again pushed its way to the forefront. Even if he had to turn in the others, why hadn't Six spared her?
