"Daruma-san... has come!"

Everything was just happening so fast. So many emotions pulsed throughout your body.

You were completely frozen dead in your tracks as any on who dared to move bursted out crimson blood and glistening red marbles. There were 25, and now we lost eight. What the hell is going on?!

"We need to get the hell out of here!" Screamed one boy. The doll turned around to face the black board and began to chant.

"Daruma-san..."

You noticed a timer on its back and realized that there was only five minutes left before you all would die. The immense pressure immediately overwhelmed your mind and you found it difficult to think straight. Whenever you tried, all that ran through was absolutely nothing

"...has come!"

The doll turned around.

Freeze. Don't move.

You caught onto the game after the first two rounds. It was just like 'Red Light, Green Light.' Except, you explode into a bunch of marbles if you were caught moving.

"NOYAMI!!" A girl shrieked, calling out to her dead friend. Her head snapped up and she shouted, "WAIT—!!" before she herself fell to the ground. Everyone else stared in horror.

The youngest in the class spoke up. "I...don't want to die..." But then that poor guy died anyway. People were already dropping dead like flies left and right. Who knew such a thing could happen in such a short time.

You had a long life ahead of you. Im sorry.

Clearly not getting the memo, one more student ran across the classroom. Before he could even reach the door, his head was gone and his limp body slammed against it. Some people flinched ever so slightly. Thankfully, the doll didn't see their subtle motion.

Just keep your feet planted on the ground.

Everything was already getting scarier now, but you needed to stay calm and gather your thoughts to help get everyone out of here since it was easily told that nobody else would.

By routine, the doll faced away.

Damn I hate this game. It's only been a minute or two and so many have left the world.

"Daruma san..."

Now there was only a matter of time before the game could end. You needed to share your observations quicker than the statue could finish its sentence.

Four minutes.

You stepped forward to go closer to the doll.

"Everyone!" You called out. The student's attention directed towards you now. Doing your best to speak confidently, you continued fast. "This deadly game is like red light, green light." Some people nodded in understanding. "Nobody move a single muscle when the doll turns around! It's not safe until—"

"...has come!"

Shoot.

Unfortunately, not everyone had listened to you and blood of three bodies splattered across the wall.

It was up to you, Ryu and his four friends, and three others to end this game. Nine people isn't a very good count based on the amount of people living right now, but it was all you had.

The doll stared at all of you way longer than it was supposed to. The tension was even thicker. You felt a drop of sweat trickling down your temple as you watched the stupid thing snicker and turn. This time, it spoke in slow motion.
