No way. Laura did talk to her.
Amanda gave a sigh of relief. "Man, I wish my mom told me her name," she thought,... so she would use it as a curse and could spit it out whenever the opportunity arises! The girl looked back at Esmeralda with a shy smile.
“I’m so proud of you...” she said. For.. for what? Amanda didn't understand. There is nothing to be proud of in what she did. She didn't do anything yet!
That moment Esmeralda and Amanda's hands touched - they could feel the same strange connection as Amanda experienced with Tara,.. just a tad less intense. A carousel of Amanda's memories - from the beginning, the June 11th - the day the game was created - till now - flashed inside her mind. Esmeralda didn't hear any voices in her head, but she knew that Dani was somewhere out there. And she, Esmeralda, didn't need to play by the rules of this game. She was free.
"And I don’t care if I’m real or not," Tara caught Amanda's attention from a "sudden memory exchange" back again. "If I’m a conscious being or if it’s Laura writing right now what I’m saying. We're alive," the red-head smiled back at her, her heartbeat fastening by each passing second and when Tara took her hand in hers - she felt as it was about to fly out of her chest!
"Do you know how we can stop something?" Amanda bit her bottom lip and looked around, her gaze fell upon Andrei than Jack. To be COMPLETLY honest... Not quite. BUT if Jack could bring both Tara and Esme in here... there should be a way out!
Meanwhile, the tall young man has finally stopped coughing and was able to reply to Esmeralda's question about Copper. Miss Truman helped Andrei to get back on his feet.
"N-Naya, sh-she wants to kill him, sh-she g- gathered everyb- body!," he said and Madonna gently patted the man on the shoulder. Seemed like each word caused him a lot of pain, even after his "death". What a cruel misfortune, the "dead" kept suffering even after they've passed away.
"But, of course!" Amanda mumbled, furrowing her eyebrows. Her purpose didn't include killing NPCs though, so... maybe it sees them as "errors" and it tries to get rid of them with the students help and trap them all - the NPCs - in here to get full control over the situation!
"Girls! The thing is known as "Something" in here,.. it's nothing but a part of my being. "My purpose" - matchmaking - that I lost after the first fall, you can think of it as a 'program' gone rogue," she addressed both Tara and Esme, who even though knew more than a regular student of this highschool - still could be perplexed as fuck. There wasn't that much time for explanations though - Copper was the only link that kept this school together in the state that it was. As soon as he's gone - the game will fall into chaos, destroying this world.
"The only person who can,.." Amanda wanted to say "probably" but didn't because she didn't want to scare girls that they have a 0,99% choice of winning this battle, "Take it under control - is me; I tried to convince it to get back together, but you know how it ended," she referred to the "Hangman" event.
"Naya's" voice echoed from invisible walls of the void they were stuck in, it seemed that the only sourse of light they had in here was now going dimmer.
"What are we gonna do, Jack?" Veronica looked around sheepisly, holding onto Jack's shoulder. Or was it Jack who was holding onto her... he didn't seem well. A bit too pale or...
"JACK!" both Amanda and Veronica yelled in horror at the same time. The red-head jumped to her feet, dragging both girls along with her. "Jack! JACK, listen to me!" Amanda bolted forward and held onto Jack's hands, they were now barely visible. He was literally fading away.
When Amanda touched his palms - she saw Jack's backstory that was never used properly. He didn't want to wait until his turn to join will come, he was the first one to break out of his character. He wasn't supposed to be a part of the story, but he wanted. His will to find Veronica got him here.
His will.
"JACK! Jack, I need you to THINK! Think of somebody you know really hard!" Jack looked back at her, his blue eyes shimmered with red and green. Speechless Veronica still kept holding him up, crying non-stop. In the meantime, Miss Truman helped poor, perplexed young man to move around and approach the group from the side. Amanda didn't have as much time as she had with Veronica and Miss Truman to explain what was going on.
"Jack, please, do you remember ANYBODY ELSE you've met here!" Amanda's heart was beating like it was about to explode. They can't lose Jack, they can't be stuck here now! She needed him to WANT to meet somebody! That was their only chance!
"What do you mean 'before'?! I've done nothing for you." another voice echoed from nowhere, the light went even dimmer.
Amanda shook her head in rage. No, they can't lose now! But there was no strength left in his body, Jack's whole being was now "see-through", glitching and dizzering. He didn't think about anybody but Veronica when he came here... She was his only goal.
And then... he remembered. A girl with short brown hair. He didn't ask her name... Guilt struck back into him. If only he didn't rush ahead and asked he would know that her name was...
Pidge.
"And I never will either. Go fuck yourself Satan. Kill the damn dog yourself." the voice boomed from the skies again and the world around went dark. In a flash of green, blue and red all seven of them disappeared.
[Tara and Esme can reply one more time here before they appear inside the auditorium. Tara will appear on stage nearby the hanged in the air bodies. Esmeralda will appear near Pidge in the crowd and she can untie some students around her. Every time she touches somebody, she shares her and Amanda's memories about the game.
So the moment Esme or Tara will touch somebody - they will see the WHOLE experience Amanda went thought - starting from the first event till thread #8
And they realize that:
- besides you just being you - there is somebody (like dani or laura) - who partly takes control of your life;
- also they realize that it's just a game you "master" is playing BUT you don't HAVE to follow their orders anymore]

Next moment everybody felt the ground rumble.
"ZARA!"
