After finishing off Estella, Ben hears the now familiar whistling sound. He bends completely backward in an attempt to dodge the projectiles, but Kalinda had appeared too close. Ben gets splattered by the barrage of paint and sighs, "Damnit." He walks out of the forest, disappointment evident in his expression.

Mimic checks Ben's name off a list as he walks out, and calls, "Well done Kalinda, you are the last one standing." He turns to the other students and says, "From now on, I won't be sparring with you most days. Starting tomorrow, you will be sparring against each other, and will be able to choose who you face. Obviously, I reserve the right to switch things up if I wish. Class dismissed."

Ben crawls slightly faster as he notices the grass moving. Once he can see Estella, he pulls out his gun and fires off eight shots.

As Ben scans the forest, he notices a clump of grass with paint stains on it. As he focuses on the paint, he can see that it's still shiny, which means it's wet, which means that it's where Kalinda was just shooting. He draws his gun and inches toward the grass.

I didn't forget, I simply misplaced the memory.

Ben watches his surroundings intently, looking for any sign of Kalinda or Estella. In this moment, he knew what it felt like to be hunted, and it sent a shiver down his back.

True, true.

Oh well, we're going to be having fun soon anyway.

Just behind Kalinda, Ben slowly rises from his hiding spot. He prepares to shoot, but before he could, Kalinda had disappeared. Ben drops to the ground and crouches, being as still as possible.
