A Programmer's Lucky Rollback

In the original story, Chihiro chooses to tell Mondo about their secret. This, tragically, leads to their death...

But what if they decided to tell someone else? What if they told someone who's shown a different kind of strength? One just as admirable and valuable... Seeing another option, Chihiro chooses to tell Makoto their secret instead and asks if he'd like to exercise with them. Makoto, not being one to turn down a friend in need, agrees. This one decision saves their life... but the Killing Game must go on...
