"A hair clip? Who would even bring a hair clip there?" Sophia began thinking carefully.
"There are only four other contestants besides us. The two males are with us, and we are the only two females in this game. Julia did not participate here."
Sophia suddenly looked confused.
"But who said that hair clips can only be used by females?" Lana chuckled. "It was Gabriel."
Sophia's expression changed.
"I remember. He had a clip with him. I saw it during the competition. He had actually clipped it to his wristwatch."
Sophia frowned. "Why does he even have something like that? Does he have a girlfriend or something?"
She paused, her expression becoming increasingly suspicious. "But even if he has one, he should not have left that clip on the ground. That is strange."
Lana chuckled softly. "Maybe they encountered..."
Her voice trailed off as she looked back toward the distant Nether River, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Something unexpected."
