GGO, Governor's Office Building, 1 hour before the start of the BoB.
I was sitting on the side scrolling through the list of participants.
Kuroudo (Mind): The first murder happened after the second Bullet of Bullets, and both murders were in front of other witnesses.
I kept on scrolling until I reached the very bottom of the list.
Kuroudo (Mind): There's no one called "Death Gun" on the list. If he really wants to stage another murder then the BoB will be perfect.
I closed the list and got up.
Kuroudo (Mind): I guess I'll get moving.
(Timeskip)
Finally!
Kuroudo: Come on! Sinon!
Sinon: ...
Kuroudo (Mind): The nerve! She's ignoring me!
Kuroudo: Anyone home? Sinon!
Sinon: Shut up! I already told you that I'm done talking to you! What do you even want?!
Kuroudo: Nothing...
Sinon: Then-
Kuroudo: Actually! Now that you mention it, I want to swap some info before this start?
Sinon started to glare at me with annoyance while I smiled awkwardly.
Kuroudo: Please? Pretty Please? Pretty Pretty Please?
She looked down and sighed.
Sinon: Fine... whatever. I'll do it even though that I know I'm gonna be the one giving the info!
Sinon started to walk off.
Kuroudo: T-That's not what I mean! Actually... yeah that's what I meant...
(Timeskip)
As we were passing through the elevator exit to the waiting room, I gulped at the sight.
Kuroudo: That's... a lot of people...
Sinon: What's wrong? Scared?
Kuroudo: Large crowds are one of my insecurities... I have 'Agoraphobia'...
Sinon started to laugh and I started to blush.
Kuroudo: D-Don't make fun of me!
Sinon: So! Let me get this straight! You're a crazed, battle-loving, bloodthirsty maniac but you're scared of large crowds?!
Kuroudo: Y-Yeah...
She slowly stopped laughing and wiped her tears off while I looked away in embarrassment.
Sinon: You'll be fine.
Sinon started to walk through the crowd, it was a place I couldn't follow.
Kuroudo (Mind): Why did I have to say anything?! Now she'll think I'm a coward...
I sighed and followed her. Eventually, she sat down at a table that was secluded and I joined her.
Kuroudo: Alright... So the Battle Royale has 30 players scattered all over the same map randomly? Is that-?
The table dispensed a drink for Sinon which made me freeze for a moment.
Kuroudo: And um... You shoot whoever you see and the last one standing wins?
She looked at me annoyed and I looked at her confused.
Sinon: I knew it! You're going to make me explain everything after all!
