Heads

"Heads" you say, just before Eleanor answers with "Tails". You look at each other and nod, at least one of you will win this.

The masked attendant slowly removes his hand from the coin allowing you to see the face it landed on.

Heads.

You sigh in relief as Eleanor stiffens slightly.

The masked man flips the coin again and make it roll from finger to finger, then, with a sharp twist of the wrist, the coin disappears.

"The result is unveiled, only one wears the crown,

The defeated shall take the black door, face down.

But the red door awaits, a prize for the chosen,

Those who placed the right bet, their victory is golden."

You look at Eleanor with a contrite smile and she answers you with a sheepish one. Nevertheless, you both go towards your respective door, the red for you and the black for her. With a last nod and smile to each other, you both open the door and step inside the next room.
