Chapter 73 - Slowing Down

Device: Todor's turn to sacrifice

Todor (Okay, now my plan was... it was... What was it? Ugh- Is this some kind of joke? I just found out about it a few seconds ago!)

Todor: I will... not die, that easily.

Mratni: You are just making.... yourself suffer.

Todor: You know... I'm still on the winning side.

Device: Mratni's turn to guess.

...

Oli (Mratni is still stalling? In a disadvantageous situation he is constantly stalling?)

Todor: Why are you keeping... hesitating?

Mratni is not answering, just breathing heavily.

Todor: But your eyes... Are you scared to close them again? You fear you might never open them if you close them again?

Mratni: Asking this... While not even understanding... The whole purpose of it... you surely can't think clearly already.

Mratni (since it's round 10 already, the minimum sacrifice is 5ml)

Mratni: 20 ml.

Todor (I can barely think of any strategy... My brain can't get enough oxygen for that... I'm even having a headache now)

Mratni (Need to recall... Got it!)

Mratni: You know Todor, answering your question... Maybe... Maybe I am a masochist.

Oli (They are sacrificing small. Probably more than these would already be too much for them to endure?)

Mratni: Todor, you got too weak all of a sudden, right?

Todor: Hah? Are you talking?

Mratni: Just because... You might not like what I'm about to do...

Mratni closes his eyes once again.

Todor: You...

Device: Mratni's turn to guess.

Todor (Only if I could pull that trick off again... But I am too weak for that... Would that even be worth it at this point?)

Oli (He's waiting again)

Todor: Are you actually a masochist? Or are you just holding into your life that hard?

Mratni: Both... Maybe? And maybe for a third reason as well?

Todor: There are no other options...

Mratni: My guess is... 10 ml

Oli (Are they only going low now? That would mean that the difference between them can't really change a lot)

Todor (Time to finish soon... wait... 128?)

...

Todor (I have to... this is my time...)

Device: Todor's turn to sacrifice.

Todor (I gotta... get through a big sacrifice... one more time... as long as I'm silent during it... his eyes is closed anyway)

Todor starts to drain his blood again and in order to not give any noise he shuts his eyes, concentrates and flexes his muscles... barely being able to hold back every sound, but he succeeds, then he opens his eyes-

Mratni stands there, eyes wide open. He saw everything.

Todor: Aah-

Device: Mratni's turn to guess.

Mratni: You did it again... hah?... 150ml?...

Todor gulps.

Mratni: Obviously...

Oli (That's really bad!)

Todor (I got caught... If I had more blood left I wouldn't make such a mistake!)

Todor: What!?

Oli (Sacrifice? Even more? At this point both of them are barely even able to stand on their legs! To have the will to actually sacrifice more on your own? There is no way, right?)

Mratni: This is... hell...

Todor (He is shaking... I bet he is cold as well as me too... It's soon over... agh... why... Why did he do that though? Is it possible that the blood loss impacted his thinking that badly?)
