Scene 1: The Aftermath of the Test

The morning after the intense tests, the group gathers in the dining room, still processing everything that happened. Their bodies are sore, their minds exhausted, but there’s a quiet understanding among them—they’ve made it through together. For now, that’s enough.

Mia is the first to speak. She’s still shaken by the moral dilemma she faced during her test.

Mia:
"Does anyone else feel like... like we weren’t just tested on skills? I don’t know, there was something more about that last question. Something about our choices."

Jack (leaning back in his chair):
"Yeah, I get it. That whole thing felt like a setup. It wasn’t just about leading or surviving, it was about who we are, about making the wrong choices and seeing how we handle it."

Ariana:
"I felt it too. My test, it was like it wasn’t even about the art. It was more about whether I’d listen to what they wanted me to paint or if I’d trust myself."

Leo (nodding):
"Exactly. It’s like they wanted to see if we would break under pressure. They didn’t care about the results—they care about how we react."

SamSam (quietly):
"They’re always watching. They’ve been watching us for longer than we think."

The group falls silent as SamSam’s words linger in the air. Zii enters the room, carrying a tray of breakfast, but she doesn’t look at any of them. She’s too focused on something in her hand—a small, black device.

Zii (without looking up):
"They’ve got cameras everywhere. Not just here in the mansion, but in our rooms too. Everywhere we go, they know what we’re doing. Don’t you get it? We’re being controlled."

Blackjack (entering the room, unfazed):
"You’re all learning quickly. But you still don’t understand the full scope of what’s at play here."

Everyone looks at him, tension rising in the room. Blackjack stands tall, his hands clasped behind his back. He’s still the calm, mysterious figure they’ve come to both fear and trust, but today, there’s something different in his eyes—a hint of urgency.

Blackjack:
"Your tests were designed not just to challenge you, but to prepare you. This society has been manipulating individuals like you for decades, and now you’re part of it. You’ve all been chosen for a reason—your potential to do things others can’t."

He pauses for a moment, as if deciding whether to reveal more.

Blackjack (cont’d):
"But not everything is as it seems. Some of you may have noticed the inconsistencies, the hidden messages. That’s no accident. You’ve all been selected because your families are part of something far bigger than you realize. Something that involves power, control, and the future of this world."

The room is heavy with silence. The group exchanges nervous glances, unsure of what to believe.

Blackjack:
"If you want answers, you’ll need to dig deeper. But be careful. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes."

Scene 2: The Hidden Files

That evening, after dinner, BigRed pulls the group together in the library, where she’s managed to hack into a secure network hidden in the mansion’s archives. The group huddles around a large table, illuminated only by the glow of BigRed’s laptop.

BigRed (typing quickly):
"I’ve found something. Hidden documents. It’s all here—records of past participants, their tests, and... their families."

The screen flashes to life, showing a list of names and faces. The documents detail the families’ involvement with the society, including some high-profile figures who’ve been covertly manipulated by the organization for decades.

BigRed:
"Look at this—these people, they’re connected to everything. Politicians, CEOs, even artists and scientists. Some of the most powerful people in the world are involved in this society."

Leo (reading over her shoulder):
"This doesn’t make sense. My family... they’ve been in this? I never knew."

Zii (scanning the list):
"Of course you didn’t. They keep everything under wraps. My family has been involved in this for years, but I never knew the extent of it until I found out the hard way."

The group is stunned. The connections run deep, and the implications are far-reaching.

Mia (shaking her head):
"Why would they keep us here? If they wanted to control us, why not just use us like puppets?"

BigRed (grimly):
"Because it’s not just about control. It’s about recruitment. This society needs people with the potential to shape the world—and they’ve chosen us. We’re not just part of some twisted experiment. We’re being trained to become leaders in this world. But the price? It’s higher than you can imagine."

Scene 3: The Secret Room

Later that night, SamSam leads the group to a hidden part of the mansion she’s discovered. It’s a door that no one had noticed before—hidden in the back of the grand hall, concealed by an ornate tapestry. She uses a key she’s kept hidden to unlock it.

The door opens into a small, dimly lit room. On the walls, there are more screens, but these ones are different. They show live footage—not just of the mansion, but of the teenagers’ families, their homes, their schools. The cameras are everywhere.

SamSam:
"This is the heart of the operation. Every move you make, every choice you make, they’re tracking us. Our families are under surveillance, our friends, everyone we know—they’re all part of this twisted network."

The group stands frozen, realizing the full extent of what they’ve gotten themselves into. Blackjack was right: They’re not just participants. They’re being groomed for something far more dangerous, something they can’t escape from.

Scene 4: The Confrontation

The next morning, they gather in the dining room, but something is different. Mrs. Wilde enters, a stern look on her face. She’s clearly aware that something’s changed—something has been uncovered.

Mrs. Wilde (coldly):
"You’ve gone too far. You were never supposed to find the room, the files, or the truth. Now, you’ve learned too much."

Mia (standing up, defiantly):
"What’s really going on here, Mrs. Wilde? Why are we really here? What is this society about?"

Mrs. Wilde (smiling, coldly):
"You think you can fight against this system? You think you can escape? You’re already part of it. It’s too late for that. The Selection Committee chose you for a reason. You’re here because we need you."

Jack (angry):
"We never agreed to this. We didn’t sign up to be part of some... power-hungry organization."

Mrs. Wilde (laughing softly):
"You never needed to sign anything. You were chosen. All of you. Whether you like it or not."

Blackjack (entering, calmly):
"You’ve learned too much too quickly. But you’re not ready for the truth. Not yet. And the truth, my dear children, will cost you more than you’re willing to pay."

End of Episode 3

As Blackjack’s words hang in the air, the group stands at a crossroads. They’ve uncovered the truth, but now they’re faced with the terrifying realization: there’s no way out. The society controls everything—and the price for defying it is higher than they could have imagined.

They’ve learned that they are more deeply entangled than ever before. The question is, will they fight back? And if so, what will it cost them?
