Technology is the key to the door of information.
With the advanced technology we have today, it is much easier to gain, share or store information.
It doesn't matter if you're at the top of the food chain, or the bottom, something as simple as one audio recording could ruin your life forever.

"What?"
Onodera covered her mouth, but I continued to stare at her.
I hadn't misheard, I was sure of it.
"What w-was that you said?"
"Um, congratulations on getting fifth?"
"In what?"
"The, the test, didn't you get like, 80 points?"
I kept my gaze, and she looked nervous.
She looked away, but that didn't stop me.
"I didn't get fifth o-on the test, what's more, t-that happened a while ago."
"Yeah... so?"
"So you're lying."
"Whaaaat? Noooo."
I continued to stare, and eventually, she sighed.
She turned her phone around, showing me it.
"Don't tell anyone this, it's supposed to be a secret. But all of us girls in the first year rank all of the boys in the first year in different things."
"What?"
"It's anonymous voting too, we all get to vote, but you don't have to, whoever set it up was pretty good at it."
"Huh?"
"One of the charts is the 'Ikemen' chart, you placed fifth in it."
"Woah. W-wait, too much information. Can I j-just see the phone?"
"Yep."
I peeked up at her while looking through the phone.
"You d-don't seem really upset about this."
"Honestly? Guilty conscious, I felt kind of bad about it, so I figured I could just drop my troubles on you. That being said, don't tell anybody please."
That is... wow.
Guilty conscious huh? I kind of understand.
A few days have passed already, and I feel myself growing more and more sick with myself as it does.
Woah, some of these charts are just, wow. 'Ranking of boys who should die.'
Huh.
"Can I go through the rankings?" I asked.
"Sure thing."
Going through them, I noticed the ranking I'd placed fifth in, the ikemen ranking, had Ayanokoji at sixth.
Bravo, admittedly, even if he's pretty average, he's got solid looks.
Wait...
'Ranking of guys who'd look cute as girls.'
Isn't that oddly specific?
Out of pure curiosity, nothing else, I looked into the rankings.
...third.
What?
Okay now I have to know.
I went through every one of the rankings, and while some I was surprised with, others I was embarrassed with.
