There’s a minute left. Ren has eliminated the two other players, leaving only them in the field. Dan Heng currently hides behind a rather large pole, eyeing out his surroundings. Ren very much looks like an excited wolf seeking out his prey, and Dan Heng thinks he hasn’t seen the other smile like that ever since he was genuinely chasing Dan Heng to kill him. There must be some part of him that misses the chase, and Dan Heng admits it’s fun to “run” from Ren again.
Ren then speaks in that same purring yet hushed tone that he would use when he chased Dan Heng across all those IPC ships. “You think you can hide from me? Just know that I always manage to find you wherever you are…” Dan Heng looks up at the air that showed the timer. Thirty seconds left. His spot felt pretty secure, he just needed thirty seconds…
He feels the fear of all aeons put into him when he feels a sudden breeze behind him. “Hmm, I knew where you were hiding this whole time. The game is too fun to just end anticlimactically, right?” He quickly whipped his head around to find Ren looking the happiest he’s ever seen him in a while.
“All right. I concede. It’s nice that we found something that you enjoy.” Ren looks almost upset at that, before interjecting “don’t lie, you were obviously into it too. That’s why we’re going to play five more rounds.”
Dan Heng could only sigh.
