Arisu and Usagi, looking for "the Beach", secretly follow a group of players with similar wrist tags to a hotel housing many players. They are found and taken to the place's leader, Hatter, who confirms they have made it. Hatter says the Beach's mission is to collect all the cards, which they believe will allow them to leave the city, but that the face cards have yet to appear. Arisu and Usagi are tasked with joining groups of players to collect the remaining cards. Later, Hatter reveals to a group of "executive members", including Arisu, who participated in a game as a "test" from Ann, that the only remaining number card to collect is the "Ten of Hearts".
