Momoko had tried to distract herself through the long, uncomfortable night with thoughts of what she'd do on a real trip to the beach, back home, but she kept getting caught on the part where she'd be sleeping indoors. She never thought she'd say this, but she would have preferred to go back into the last Arena.

But she was stuck for the moment with the vague hope of winning and never entering another Arena, so when morning came she forced herself out of her nest and started to walk along the beach. Less cover than the trees, but this way she could see when someone was coming.

And it looked like she wasn't the only one with the idea. There was a man walking as well, a man Momoko recognized as Ariadne's first kill last Arena. He hadn't made it very far, that was all the Arena footage there existed of him, so Momoko wasn't sure what to do when he inevitably spotted her. Run? Bluff? Bargain?
