The barrel of the revolver was still warm when Chance dropped it.
Six pulls. Six clicks.
Six chances to die, and somehow, he walked away from all of them.
He stumbled to his feet, heart rattling in his chest like dice in a cup. His vision swam, but adrenaline dragged him forward—toward the only thing that mattered.
him.
“See?” Chance laughed, half-mad, half-hysterical. “I did it. Beat the odds. Again.”
itrapped stood by the bar, pouring himself a drink like nothing had happened. His silhouette was all grace and distance, untouched by the chaos still vibrating in the air.
Chance limped toward him, blood on his palms from where he’d clenched his fists too tight.
“You can’t say it’s luck anymore,” he said, grinning through shaking teeth. “That was fate. That was love. You get it now, right? I’d do anything for you. I just did.”
itrapped didn’t answer.
He sipped his drink. Cold. Unmoved.
“…Say something,” Chance whispered.
“You were supposed to lose.”
The words dropped like a guillotine.
Chance blinked. “What?”
itrapped turned to face him, finally, eyes dead of feeling. “You were supposed to die. That’s why I let you play.”
“I…” Chance took a step back.
“You begged for a way to prove yourself. So I gave you one.” itrapped’s voice didn’t rise. It didn’t need to. “Russian roulette. Six bullets. One way out. for the both of us.”
“You wanted me dead.”
The silence that followed was thick. Suffocating.
Chance looked down at his hands, still trembling, still alive. “I thought… you were just testing me. I thought maybe if I survived-”
“That you’d earn me?”
“No.” Chance swallowed. “That you’d finally see me.”
itrapped stepped closer, expression flat. “I saw you from the beginning, Chance. A broken little boy in a grown man’s suit, desperate to be loved. You made yourself easy to use.”
Every word carved deeper than the last.
“I gave you everything- !,” Chance rasped. “I let you inside me. I trusted-”
“I never asked for your love.”
The final thread snapped.
And when the blade came out, Chance didn’t even react.
The Darkheart sword. It shimmered with that cursed glow, black veins pulsing across its surface like it was alive.
itrapped didn’t rush it. He didn’t scream. He just pushed it into Chance’s stomach like he was finishing a chore.
Chance’s breath caught. He looked down, slowly, seeing the blade buried deep—dark and unnatural, his own blood steaming around it.
His knees gave out.
itrapped caught him.
But not to hold him.
Just to whisper in his ear.
“You were always going to lose.”
The sword pulled free with a wet sound, and Chance collapsed onto the floor, one hand still reaching for itrapped’s coat, clutching it like a lifeline. Like maybe there was still something worth holding onto.
itrapped didn’t look back.
He left him there.
Bleeding.
Crying.
Alone.
As the darkness crawled in from the edges, Chance pressed a trembling hand to his chest, as if trying to keep something inside. His heart. His pride. The truth.
But it was too late.
He’d played the game.
And the house always wins.
