Everyone started going their own ways, searching the area. Meanwhile, Joe, Keiji and [Name] go in the direction of the game room. All awfully silent, which was weird considering how sunny, cheerful and extroverted Joe is in the game.

The blue walls and floor blended together, making the whole corridor look surreal. A singular door was seen along the left wall as a red vending machine was visible beside the entrance to the room.

They all walked towards the red vending machine. Keiji almost immediately began inspecting it, looking at the stuff inside.

"Cigarettes, huh?" Keiji muttered as Joe looked at the packs stacked in the machine, nodding slowly.

"Then that must be a smoking area." [Name] mumbled, pointing to the glass room at the end of the room, their eyes trailing the familiar brands in the vending machine. "Though I do wonder what would happen if I smoked elsewhere, there were no warning signs or anything around."

"You smoke?" Joe's eyes shot to [Name] as they sweat dropped, cursing themself mentally for saying that aloud.

'For fucks sake [Name.]'

And now they had to explain to a teenager- great.

"Used to when I was younger. I quit after a while." The person explained slowly, not disclosing why they started or anything. Keiji just nodded. He looked at them before sighing.

"It's always the innocent looking ones, let me guess, you drank too?" He asked as [Name] shrunk ever so slightly, trying their best to keep up their stoic demeanor.

'How the hell did he know- Never mind. He used to be a detective, he has probably dealt with a lot of this.'

"Yeah... are you gonna arrest me for underage drinking and smoking?" [Name] asked sarcastically, attempting to lift the mood as Joe stifled a laugh, turning away to hide it.

But Keiji didn't move. He just stared at the two with a deadpan look. He was visibly weary of [Name]. The person just sighed, looking to the side, feeling anxious from the stare they were getting.

'Stop staring at me like that, it's making me feel bad... How did I manage to get the cop to suspect me already?'

"Okay, okay, let's just continue the investigation." [Name] waved their hand dismissively, pushing all of the anxiety that was building up inside them down.

"I agree." Joe smiled, looking at the sign by the door. In neon letters the word 'GAME' was displayed vertically.

'I forgot that sign existed to be honest. I've been replaying chapter 3 more than the rest of the game in all honesty'

Joe walked in first, followed by the two adults.

The inside of the room was pretty empty and plain, the only things that stuck out were two doors, one blue, the other red and the ceiling fan, along with the hole in the ground and dartboard. The group looked around.

"What is this supposed to be?" Keiji thought out loud, looking at the two, as if either of them knew the answer to the question.

"Probably a game room, the whole room looks pretty lonely though." Joe muttered as [Name] hummed, walking over to the red room, trying their best to open it to no avail.

'So Shin and Sara aren't just weak idiots, good to know-'

"This one is open." Joe opened the blue door, waving Keiji and [Name] over. The three entered the room of Russian Roulette. It was just the same as in game; 4 empty chairs and 5 dolls in chairs. All three just looked at each other and nodded, all going to a different area to investigate. Joe started off by the chairs, Keiji went over to the dolls and [Name] went to the higher floor, looking at everything.
