Minjae's face was red now, not from the rising heat but from being wrong. He didn't believe it. He couldn't believe it. That he, out of all people, was failing this stupid room.
"There's no way that was wrong," he muttered to himself, pushing back sweaty bangs as he glared at the keypad.
"You typed 'PALM TREE,' bro," Minsu sighed, crouching near the first orbit. "Why would that be the answer?"
"It made sense at the moment!" Minjae snapped. "We're on a fake island, okay? It was a good guess!"
"It's not a vibe quiz; it's logic," Annie muttered, fanning herself with the edge of her shirt. Her eyes darted toward the other orbs, not one of them lit.
"We've had no right answer in two hours. This is ridiculous," Ari added.
- Oh crap. They're struggling.
- I mean—are there any clues? There isn't any in the room.
- It's literally a blank slate.
- There are books in front of each orb, though.
