Sweet Dreams & A Cup of Ambition

When it comes to their death games, the only advantage Kariya has over Uzuki is his experience-honed knack for sniffing out the easy pickings of the pack. Useful, since Uzuki's motivation exceeds his in spades. If Uzuki chooses to use said motivation to scope out her prey during onboarding, that's only fair (and definitely not cheating). Kariya's too lazy to call her on it anyway.[Uzuki once knew a girl who signed on the dotted line: her heart in exchange for a second shot at life.]Now, she watches a girl - small(er), young(er), bright(er) - sign her heart on the dotted line and emerge into the scramble diminished. The girl is dimmed more than her fair share, and Uzuki can't tear her eyes from the injustice - weakness that can be used to her unique advantage.[When Uzuki emerged from the week victorious and whole, she remained diminished.]Weeks later, Rhyme will return to life as a loser. Featuring art by @syringale
