Part 3, Chapter 13 Summary

When Scarlett awakens, she takes the message Master Legend gave her in her dream seriously. She needs to stop being so afraid and actually participate in the game fully, especially since she’s only planning to stay for a day. She checks her appearance in Dante’s mirror before leaving for the day and discovers her dress has shifted again into a bold gown that Tella would love. Scarlett promises herself to stop worrying about Tella so much for at least one hour and to try and enjoy the game. Still, she worries when she passes by Tella’s room and the door is ajar. Scarlett knocks on the cracked door, but no one answers. Scarlett enters Tella’s room and finds it in shambles with no sign of Tella anywhere. Scarlett blames herself for not going in the night before and circles back to fearful thoughts.

Other participants enter Tella’s room in pursuit of the next clue. Scarlett wants them to leave her belongings alone, and in asking for this, the other participants discover Scarlett is Tella’s sister. They barrage her with questions, but when she provides no assistance, they take Tella’s belongings and move on.

A seemingly pregnant woman offers to hold the items Scarlett has collected while she continues to search, since the woman is so pregnant she can’t bend over to look.
