Sigh, "You know what, this just sucks."

"It is what it is, Zane, no need to get upset."

"Yeah, but, ya know... that happened, man."

"Let it go, it'll all be fine, everything will be fine."

They looked at the situation they and their friends are in, there's only one way to describe it, they all noticed it, but are too afraid to speak on the subject, don't even want to think about it, for a mere thought will shut it all down.

"So we're just gonna sit here and pretend everything is fine?"

"Duh, let the moment pass peacefully... stop thinking about it."

"I can't, Kim, I just can't."

"Yeah, you can, bruh! C'mon Zane!"

"But it's inevitable, Donte."

They all look at each other, knowing what's about to go down.

"Please don't," Kim begged.

"I got to, though."

"Surely you can't be serious‽"

"I am, Donte, I am. The sacred phrase must be spoken!"

"No! You're putting all of us at risk," Kim started freaking out.

"Stop thinking about it, bruh! You're making us think about it, we can't think about it, bruh!"

"It's too late, then, bruh... way too late. You know the rules."

"Fuck the rules, Zane, don't do it," Donte ordered.

"Don't do it, man, just think about something else... please," Kim begged.

"Kim, pull your tits out, distract him!"

"Nuh'in doin' it."

"You really serious, huh?"

Zane sighed deeply. "I lost the game."

Donte and Kim holler.

"We lost the game, too... damn it!" She threw her arms up.

And you, reader; you too have lost the game.
