Seow Seow glanced at Wang Duo once more, reached out to grab the cloth doll, and intended to seize it herself. But she refrained, fearing breaking the game's rules. If the doll disappeared again, it would be a total loss.
"Let's go, it's over once we burn it," I echoed Wang Duo's words, only phrased differently.
Seow Seow nodded, holding the doll as she led the way downstairs, while I gave Wang Duo a tug and followed them out.
We went straight to the yard, where Seow Seow threw the doll forcefully onto the ground. She seemed to harbor a strong aversion to it. If the doll could speak, it probably would have protested. It was not to blame for what had happened, yet it bore Seow Seow's wrath and would ultimately turn to ashes.
