During a confrontation one person accuses the other of deliberately dealing Aeron the worst cards so Aeron would lose and be forced to strip, a plot to make them intervene. The accused admits their tricks were spotted but says the other still helped. Confession turns personal: the accuser admits engineering closeness and confesses, "I want to cling to you and pull myself out of the hell"—then "I want you." They swap a phone number and a blunt offer of bed, leaving the choice—and the promise of intimacy—unresolved.
