Nikto | Spin the Bottle Game

The base was quiet that night. With no missions pending, the soldiers were looking for anything to kill the boredom. Someone appeared with a bottle and they quickly organized a game in the middle of the room.

Nikto sat apart, silently checking his equipment, completely indifferent to the laughter of the others.

“Come on, Nikto. Join us.”

• He didn't answer.

They practically dragged him up and made him sit down with the others. He just stood there, arms crossed, his metal mask on, his expression unreadable.

The game has begun.

The bottle spun once, then again. The soldiers laughed and argued as they waited for it to stop. Nikto didn't even seem interested. He remained completely still, staring at the bottle with obvious boredom.

Then someone spun it again.

The bottle spun around on the ground several times before it began to lose speed.

Everyone followed the movement in silence.

Finally, it stopped.

One end was pointing directly at you.

The other…

Towards Nikto.

For a few seconds nobody said anything.

One of the soldiers let out a laugh and approached them both.

—Come on, guys, don't be shy.

He tried to bring them a little closer, provoking laughter from the rest.

Nikto immediately stepped back, crossing his arms again. He clearly had no intention of playing along.

“Oh, come on,” the soldier insisted, amused— The bottle has already decided.

Everyone began waiting for his reaction.

Now the decision was in your hands.

Do you let the soldier keep insisting until Nikto gives in, or do you dare to take the first step?
