Anna didn't really seem to hear or comprehend what Artemis was saying, she was hyperventilating. It took only a moment, but Ponppa suddenly snapped out of her shocked state and realized that Anna was in the worst condition right now. Putting her own shock, and questions on a metaphorical shelf, she walked over and reminded Anna of the cold, hard reality, in order to distract her from the
crushing reality.
The slap to Anna's face was loud enough to echo through the park, and a red imprint was already visible on Anna's face as he slowly turned to look at Ponppa in shock, before letting out a sigh and hanging his head. "Thanks." He said, sounding incredibly sad, yet still grateful.
"Woah, okay, ouch." Junie commented, only to wince as Ponppa turned to glare at him. Raising his hands, he showed that he gave up, and Ponppa turned back to Anna, her glare melting away.
"Anna, things will turn out fine. Let's not assume anything until the game ends." Ponppa tells her, to which Anna simply nodded, before sighing again.
"I'll try, let's get this over with." Anna said, remembering that her friends were ready to help her once the game concluded, although, she was hoping against all odds that she would draw the same card again, and if not, another card that could turn her back.
With a grave face, Ponppa drew her third card.

As soon as Ponppa read the card, Junie gasped and pointed at the figure a bit over two meters tall that had appeared behind Ponppa. Nagisa starred in disbelief once again, although he was beginning to think he might be getting used to being surprised by this game, which he didn't like for some reason. Anna, who was the closest to Ponppa ended up backing away a bit in fear.

Before Ponppa could even try to turn around, the Minotaur that had appeared behind her had already grabbed her around her waist and picked her up off the ground, before throwing her to the ground, the impact making her lose her breath as she landed on her back.
Nagisa stood up to run to Ponppa's aid, only to find himself unable to move anymore beyond that.
Both Junie and Anna seemed to be paralyzed still in both chock and fright.
The frothing minotaur seemed only to have eyes for Ponppa as it looked down on her form, and the large member between its legs began to rise, its intentions clear as day.
