The two rounds repeat and then suddenly Fiver lays down all its cards and its head wobbles.
<span class="mu-i">
Did that droid just fold? Can you even fold in sabacc?
</span>
Sheegan rumbles "Get back to the club floor." Fiver rises up and clanks past them and then the remaining three lean inward toward Cady.
<span class="mu-i">
This should be making me feel tense but I can't lose because I can see if their cards are better or worse than mine!
</span>
By the fourth round, Sheegan is grinding his teeth as Cady picks him for trading again. "Sabacc always makes me hungry. I could go for somebody to eat right now. I mean, something."
<span class="mu-i">
I'm not into vore!
</span>
Nok and Nazar drop their cards in the same round and suddenly Cady is facing Sheegan alone.
"Come on, boss!"
"Get this kid!"
Cady smirks and glances down at her cards.
(She just realized none of their cards are glowing anymore.)
<span class="mu-i">
Force Sense!
</span>
Cady smiles up at Sheegan and holds her cards up to her face as she scowls.
<span class="mu-i">
Force Sense! Force Sense! Force Sense!
</span>
(She's still holding her cards up to her face.)
<span class="mu-i">
I'm dead! How am I ever going to pay off 8,000 credits?!
</span>
"Come on, kid." When she peeks over the top edge of her cards Sheegan is grinning at her. Cady swallows and looks at her cards again.
<span class="mu-i">
Alright! Even though I don't know what I'm doing, I'm the isekai protagonist! Yes! With this one final move I'll win the game!
</span>
Cady lays down a card and grins up at Sheegan. She glances at Nazar and Fiver and back at the cards and then up at Sheegan again.
<span class="mu-i">
I can't tell if I won or not!
</span>
The room is completely silent as Sheegan looms motionless over her.
<span class="mu-i">
His expression is impossible to read!
</span>
Sheegan finally sighs and drops his cards. "Queasy, cancel that 4,000 credit penalty."
(She's still grinning.)
<span class="mu-i">
Yes! I did it!
</span>
She peeks one eye open and looks up at Sheegan.
<span class="mu-i">
I feel like there's still a chance he might eat me anyway!
</span>
