Noah squared his stance, rolling his shoulders as he met Sophie's gaze. "Alright," he said, voice steady, calm. "Let's make it interesting."

"Here's the twist," he continued. "Each sequence must end with you in a different position than where you started. If you aren't able to complete a sequence you either admit defeat or we just remain here until you can,"

Silence stretched between them for a beat. Then—

Sophie smirked. "That's it?"

Noah shrugged. "That's it."
