When you step off the train onto the platform, you see a familiar graveyard—and then hear the bells of the Clocktower strike. The announcement you hear is not Ingo, but the Warden.
"Inmates. It is time for your next task. One that is appropriate for the place in which you find yourself. It should not be difficult or painful. So do not disappoint me."
A Sphinx-colored door leads to a nondescript room, and you cannot fight the compulsion to enter it. There are four boxes on a table, and four different cards, with instructions posted on the wall. Looks like you'll be stuck playing a game instead of exploring.
There are four boxes, representing people Ingo knows in the prison. The boxes will change between rounds. For each round, read the prompt and put the appropriate card in each box. After 3 rounds, you will receive your final total. Score adequately to receive your reward.
A screen beneath these instructions prompts you:
Round 1: To whom did Ingo pay these compliments?
So, about those cards and boxes. There are four boxes that have the images of someone's face on them: A. Da Vinci B. Emmet C. Saturn D. Oriphi
And four cards on the table: 1. "I think there are many, many benefits to being close to you!" 2. "... your cheerful and empathetic attitude brightens any space you are in, and I appreciate your proactivity!" 3. "I appreciate that you are as much yourself as I am myself!" 4. "It is a privilege to share in your emotions. And an even greater privilege that you are so willing to feel mine!"
I'm getting the impression this was... not the most ideal plan.
[local woman does not know one of these people at all and has only recently met another. help!!
but, well-- she's here now, and these don't tend to be situations one can just leave, even if it does seem like it would be pretty helpful to have had company for this round. besides, she can pick one out easily enough, she was around for it. the others take a little more guesswork and one of these is honestly going to be through process of elimination, so...
A- 4 B- 3 C- 1 D- 2

A. Da Vinci B. Hilda C. Emmet D. Ritsuka
And four new cards appear.
1. "You will apologize for your bullying tendencies." 2. "I refuse to believe you weren't an emo kid." 3. "How do I put this? Your sincerity is a highly dangerous weapon?" 4. "I independently decided you had big mom energy. ...Among other things."

[ She closes her eyes briefly. Ingo compliments her way too much as it is (though she never minds until it's very earnest and sincere on the level of feelings, beyond what everyone else admires her for), so time to get the least likely ones out of the way first.
Ori is both cheerful and empathetic, more than the other people on this list, herself included. She had distanced herself from emotion sharing while she'd been sick, so that hadn't been to her, and Emmet and Ingo are so close that she assumes neither one of them would truly consider it a privilege that one would be willing to share emotions but they'd just accept it right off the bat.
It's still guessing, for the most part, but she puts the cards in the box as follows:

[ Da Vinci snorts a little and picks up the new cards. This one isn't as much pondering, though that doesn't necessarily mean she's right, she knows that. All the same, her final verdict iiiis:

[ He doesn't like that the Warden's presence is here in any capacity, though the prison is as much a part of all of them as anything else, he supposes.
With Ori's hand clasped tightly in his own, he moves through the door and to the boxes. He casts her a concerned glance. ]

Saturn's a little startled to find himself not in Sphinx, but trapped in a game; his guard is immediately up. He'd thought this would be the cute team feelings section! Where he'd get to see the dorm and leave the plushie in it where it belongs! Is this actually a trauma game section?! Well, there's nothing for it. Time to read the instructions!]

[Hmmmm. Okay, maybe not a trauma game. Maybe a cute Ingo game? The more he reads it over, the more into it Saturn is. It's a chance to use clues about people to answer correctly!!
He knows which one is his own. He remembers that. Number 2 . . . he tries to imagine Ingo saying that to Emmet and smiles widely, reflexively, fingers to his lips. Haha. And it's unlikely to be Da Vinci, either. The other two . . . Saturn isn't as sure, but it's hard to imagine him saying the first one to Emmet either, even though he can easily imagine Ingo saying either one to Da Vinci. So . . . ]

[Okay this is definitely fun. 1 has to be Emmet; he can't be 2, surely isn't 4, and 3 doesn't sound quite right. 4 can't be Da Vinci, so she has to be 2 or 3. 3 doesn't sound like Ritsuka. She could easily be 2 or 4...Hilda could also be 2 or 4, though. They have the same vibe. But Saturn has talked to Ritsuka about the whole Mom thing before, so...]
