In school, during a little break you have, you go to the bathroom. You notice that all the other stalls are either out of order or occupied, except for the last one. You've heard a bunch of scary stories and legends about what happens in the last stall of the bathroom, but since you really have to go, you decide to use it anyway.

As you're about the enter the stall, a man in a red cape opens the door. He's holding two pieces of paper, one red, and one blue.

"Red Paper? Or Blue Paper?" he asks. If you pick the red paper, you'll have your throat slashed and bleed out everywhere. If you pick the blue paper, you'll be strangled to death.

There are two alternatives to Aka Manto's question. If you say "white paper" in hopes of not dying, a hole will open up in the ground and white hands will pull you in it, no one knows where the hole leads. If you say "no paper," you are able to leave.
