I woke up to the morning announcement again and didn't reacted to it. I just felt too tired, even though I fell asleep before the nighttime announcement yesterday. After changing and doing my morning routine, i went on my way to the dining hall. On the way I realised that today the timelimit will expire. I stopped in my tracks and just looked at the floor.
I tried to not being bothered by it and took some deep breath before continuing walking. But before I could get into the dining hall a certain girl with a yellow coat interfered.

"Hiiii! Have you decided, how to spend your last moments~? Will you celebrate Atua with me~?" She asked me.

"None of your business, no thanks and who the hell are you?" I asked her already feeling annoyed by her and her voice.

"Oh yes, Atua also doesn't remember your name! I'm Angie Yonaga nyahaha, the ultimate Artist!" she said laughing.

"Well then. Y/n L/n. More or less pleasure to meet you..." I muttered the last part before walking away.

'She's weird. '

When I arrived at the dining hall I was approached with a stressed atmosphere, which I at first didn't questioned. Rantaro noticed my present and immeaditly walked up to me.

"Y/n good timing! And I see you brang Kaede and Shuichi with you?" he asked.

"Huh? what do y-" I began while turning around to see Kaede and Shuichi sprinting towards our direction. 

"Wh-what's going on!?" Kaede asked us.

"Perfect timing! Ryoma is talking about some weird things." he said sweating.

"Weird things... i'm just suggesting a plan that will make the most people live." Ryoma said.

 "A suggestion... i'd be better if you asked Hoshi-kun about his plan directly, don't you think?" 

'Ah... I didn't noticed the creepy guy...'

"Hey, Ryoma. What do you mean by, "make the most people live"...?" Kaede asked

"...don't you get it? We'll be dead before help even gets here. To avoid that, we have to have a killing game." he responded.

"Huh? What?" Kaede was now clearly sweating too.

'Oh no... Don't tell me- '

"...kill me." he finally said.

"..." I said nothing.

"W-what?! Eh?! Huh?! What are you saying?!" Kaede asked terrified.

"...you don't get it? I'll give you my life, that's what i'm saying." Ryoma began but what he said next shocked me even more. "I don't have a reason to live anymore. Therefore, in order to have everyone else survive, i'll sacrifice myself." 

I inhaled shakily and didn't know what to say. The only think I could do was watch and gulp which made me feel frustrated.

"I will absolutely not do that! We are leaving with everyone! We promised!" Kaede said.

"I thought that'd be nice too, so that's why I waited for so long to bring this up. But the situation hasn't changed at all. The time limit will soon be here. We don't have the time to think of any other ideas, don't you see?" 

"That's wrong! No ideas?! That's not it at all!" Kaede said.

'Huh? Do they...have a plan?'

"...this is the best scenario to choose. If someone kills someone else, they'll be able to get out of here and we'll all live. If someone leaves with first prize, they might be able to call for help from the outside. How does that sound, eh? There's no other way."
