A heavy silence fell over the group. No one dared to move nor speak.
Ellie stepped back, her arms trembling at her side. Her voice was a whisper now. "I could've killed us." She stepped backwards, her chest heaving from nervousness.
"No," Arya said quickly, stepping forward. "We still have two chances. That mistake gave us information. We know now that we only had three attempts to commit an error, and — Green isn't the first tile."
"So it's red," Jake said, staring at the floor ahead. "Let me try."
"No." Arya's voice was sharp. She turned to Zack, her eyes narrowing. "You memorized the most. I saw you memorizing everything before. I said it's all memory. So please… help us remember."
Zack did not respond right away. He closed his eyes, replaying the color sequence in his mind.
"Red… Then, Green — Orange — Violet…" he murmured as he opened his eyes, "I'm sure. It was red first."
"Then, I'm going," Jake said, stepping forward before anyone could stop him.
