Nothing is as it seems.

Nothing is clear-cut, but we play along regardless.

I don't know that we're meant to win at this game. Maybe they only need bodies for the pyre.

I think to survive is to win, potentially.

And to win is... to escape.

What do you think they want us to do to win. Win the Dorm Wars?

Live? [she pauses, thinking.] Die?

I don't know.

I also want to survive and go home. But I don't know how far we will get playing their games. To some degree we have no choice, but. . .

But in other cases, we do.

We can choose some things, even if we're led to them forcefully.

There's meaning in that.

What sort of choices are you referring to?

As an example?

We're forced to attend these trials, but how we act is our own hands.

We were not forced to attend that execution.
