It took a bit longer, but the game is finished. Her final piece was the crowned five. I managed to lock her on the bottom of the board and take her out when she had nowhere to go.
[JOCO] "Cheaters never win. Well, sometimes they win. Okay, most of the time they win. BUT NOT ALL the time! As this time has shown..."
Satomi shrugged.
[SATOMI] "So you managed to turn the tables at the tail end and win by the skin of your teeth. I applaud you. You just barely managed to eke out a win."
'Indeed...'
[SATOMI] "Well, for whatever the point of that was. Now I suppose you'll be leaving me alone again."
'Yes. I got all I wanted.'
[SATOMI] "Y-... Hmm. Tch..."
She knows I deduced the limit to her ability. Perhaps if she and her twin had spent more time refining their mastery over the manipulation of the boundary that Lord Akasa taught them, and less time running the horrific information quarantines they did for the Trinity, I might not have found anything else.
So with this randomly suggested game by Joco, I've not only deprived her of a victory, I learned more than she could have even let me. All she had to do was decline to play and I'd go as ignorant as I had been when I entered the prison, but her ego couldn't allow her to pass the chance to try showing a "retard" like me how much unwiser I was. And even then, she resorts to cheating because she can't stand to lose, like any Trinitarian. I suspected she'd be mad about this for a while, while faking her impassiveness.
'I won't leave you bored. I'll let Catastrovania show you some things too.'
[SATOMI] "Who?"
'You've already met.'
[SATOMI] "Kgh...!"
Yeah, she knows who I'm talking about.
[SATOMI] "Lord Sarakha can't come soon enough. And he will. He will..."
I smiled at her and bowed my head before turning off to leave the Bunker's prison.
