And with that, all six players return to the central foyer. Each person is holding two envelopes. Some are calm, others are anxious.
It's ladies first, and Aisuke Setsuna begins by ripping her envelope #28 apart.... it's a cool +26M! Not a bad start at all!
Chuo Mai goes next, opening envelope #14. Inside she finds a whopping +99M! Awesome job!
Now it's Kuwabara Kimura's turn. What does he have in envelope #3? Huh. Only +1M? Still, it's better than nothing, right?
Kaitani Katsumi goes next with envelope #1: inside there is a nice big piece of paper, with something written on it..... +86M! Splendid!
Okamoto Keisuke now.... he takes #10 and tears away at the seal. What's inside it? +20M of course! Yet another positive envelope! Well done!
Taniguchi Shuya's envelope #2 was worth -14M and his #6 was worth -86M. As an inactive I'm sure he won't miss the lack of showcasing.
The point is that everyone now has one envelope remainins, and this could make or break you.
Chuo Mai goes now, cautiously opening envelope #15. With some trepidation she looks at the slip of paper inside. She screams. It's a -80M IOU! Unlucky. That's a net of 19 million yen from her envelopes. Could be worse. Could be better.
Nervous now, Okamoto Keisuke takes his second envelope, #8, and peeks inside. There's silence in the room..... it's +80M! Congratulations on being the first person to find the full hundred!
Now it's Kaitani's turn. He pulls open envelope #27 with a grin, feeling very confident about it..... and he's completely justified! It's +74M! A fantastic final score!
There's an uneasy silence, a mix of astonishment and shock. Suddenly, Aisuke Setsuna tumbles to the ground, staring at the man. Envelope #27 used to be hers. She threw it away in favour of another; he claimed it from her in a moment of shrewd judgment. Knowing the envelope #9 in her hand cannot bear good news, she opens it, a little resigned. Inside, there's another note in friendly writing, bearing an IOU to the value of -99M. A crushing blow.
There's only one left now, and it's Kuwabara's. He knows there's only one envelope that can save him; the other two contain negatives, meaning if he's holding either, he ends up in the bottom three. Anxiously, he opens #13. Unlucky for some?
...... and it contains +99M! He has also found his full hundred! This means the top three already know their standings with a certain degree of relief. But what of the debts?
The twelve envelopes discarded are processed, and found to contain a net value of -206M. Split between six people, this incurs a debt of 34.33M yen each. So what are the final scores?
1st: Kaitani Katsumi, keeps #1 and #27, sum total +125.67M.
=2nd: Okamoto Keisuke, keeping #8 and #10, sum total +65.67M.
=2nd: Kuwabara Kimura, keeping #3 and #13, sum total +65.67M.
4th: Chuo Mai, keeping #14 and #15, sum total -15.33M.
5th: Aisuke Setsuna, keeping #9 and #28, total -107.33M.
6th: Taniguchi Shuya, left with #2 and #6, total -134.33M.
