 +
 +The table was full again.
 +
 +That was expected.
 +
 +----
 +
 +What wasn’t—
 +
 +was how little it mattered.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy didn’t even slow down this time.
 +
 +“…no.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Yes.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace was already seated.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse took position across from her.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger looked at the table.
 +
 +Then at Mai.
 +
 +Then at everyone else.
 +
 +“…I don’t like this one.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +HeavenlyFather:
 +
 +“…you won’t.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai placed the food.
 +
 +Not equal.
 +
 +Not assigned.
 +
 +----
 +
 +A shared pool.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy blinked.
 +
 +“…what are we looking at.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Distributed load.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“…that sounds illegal.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai placed the device.
 +
 +No timer this time.
 +
 +----
 +
 +That was worse.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +“Rule,” Mai said.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Silence.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“The total must be consumed.”
 +
 +A beat.
 +
 +“You decide who eats next.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Silence.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“…no.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Yes.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy:
 +
 +“Absolutely not.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Required.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace:
 +
 +“Eat.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +

 +
 +At Grouse.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse:
 +
 +“Accepted.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +

 +
 +----
 +

 +
 +----
 +
 +“…you.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace:
 +
 +“Confirmed.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +She ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Third move.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace looked at Badger.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…you.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger froze.
 +
 +“…betrayal.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Regret immediate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…why did I agree to this.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Fourth move.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger pointed at Shammy.
 +
 +“YOU’RE UP.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy:
 +
 +“NO.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Non-compliance invalidates participation.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy stared.
 +
 +“…fine.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +She ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…this is manipulation.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Yes.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Fifth move.

 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“NO—NO—ABSOLUTELY NOT—”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Assigned.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…this is targeted.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Seventh move.
 +
 +----
 +
 +The pattern broke.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Everyone started choosing—
 +
 +strategically.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger pointed at Ace.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace:
 +
 +“Confirmed.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +She ate.
 +
 +No hesitation.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====

 +
 +She ate.
 +
 +----
 +

 +
 +Shammy pointed at Badger.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“STOP PICKING ME”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…this is bullying.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +HeavenlyFather:
 +
 +“…this is consequence.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Tenth move.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse observed.
 +
 +Calculated.
 +
 +----
 +
 +He pointed at Mai.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…optimal.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Midpoint.
 +
 +----
 +
 +The food remained.
 +
 +----
 +
 +But now—
 +
 +everyone was watching each other.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Not the table.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Badger snapped.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“OKAY—NEW RULE—I PICK MYSELF”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Invalid.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“THIS SYSTEM IS BROKEN”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“No.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Shammy slowed.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…I’m not doing another one.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“You will.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy:
 +
 +“…I won’t.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace looked at her.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…you will.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy sighed.
 +
 +“…I hate all of you.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +She ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Late phase.
 +
 +----
 +
 +The choices got sharper.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger stopped picking randomly.
 +

 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +

 +
 +----
 +
 +Watched.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Then pointed—
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…you.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“OF COURSE IT’S ME”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…this is personal now.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Final phase.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Only a few portions left.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Everyone slowed.
 +
 +----
 +
 +No one wanted the next pick.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Mai spoke.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“Completion required.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Silence.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Grouse moved first.
 +
 +----
 +
 +He pointed at himself.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…accepted.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“…that was illegal.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Within rules.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Last portion.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Silence.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Everyone looked—
 +
 +not at the food—
 +
 +but at each other.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== ⚖️ =====
 +
 +Ace pointed.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…Grouse.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Silence.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse looked at the portion.
 +
 +Then at Ace.
 +
 +----
 +
 +A beat.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…accepted.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +He ate.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Finished.
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== 🧾 Outcome =====
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Load completed.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“THIS WAS WAR”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy leaned back.
 +
 +“…this was worse than all of them.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +HeavenlyFather:
 +
 +“…yes.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse nodded once.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…optimal distribution.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace:
 +
 +“Effective.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +===== 🧠 Epilogue =====
 +
 +----
 +
 +Later.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Empty table.
 +
 +----
 +
 +No leftovers.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Shammy:
 +
 +“…I feel manipulated.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Badger:
 +
 +“I WAS TARGETED”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“System functioned.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace walked past.
 +
 +Paused.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…inefficient.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Mai:
 +
 +“Yes.”
 +
 +A beat.
 +
 +“Effective.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Grouse stood still.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…balanced.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +Ace nodded once.
 +
 +----
 +
 +“…noted.”
 +
 +----
 +
 +And moved on.
 +
 +----
 +
 +Because sometimes—
 +
 +it isn’t the food—
 +
 +----
 +
 +It’s who decides
 +
 +who carries it.
 +
 +----
 +
 +**End.**
