?- LA MATTA

She chooses the scroll that contains Vai o Resti? (Go or stay?) She now has the option to abandon her game and wait in the wings to play again from scratch, with someone else being choosen at random to replace her. I'd go back to the wings without question, and Giovanna, after much deliberation, decides Vai, meaning that someone else must now play this game out.

New Contestant: Giovanna Concolato
