What should we do today?
What do you wanna do?
Let's go check out that new place.
It's rare to see you on at this time.
Sakamoto...
Want to play?
Not right now.
Okay.
You aren't going to ask me what happened, are you?
I also have things I'd rather not talk about.
So I don't, and I won't ask you.
But...
I want to stay with you.
Thank you.
Sakamoto?
I wasn't going to play the game.
But to save my life, I gave up so easily.
If you ask me, the people playing the game
are the sane ones.
His will was stronger than mine.
Let's spend the night here.
It's okay, Kinoshita.
I'll protect you.
Lizards again?
But they won't make it up here—
I have no choice.
My only way off the island is to collect the chips.
You'll protect me, won't you,
Kakimoto?
I'm sure you won't mind dying for me, either.
I'm going to survive this, no matter what I have to do.
At first, everyone gathered together peacefully to help each other.
But once their lives are in danger,
they don't hesitate to betray each other.
Personally, I think that's the best part.
What do you think, CEO?
It's a terrible sight...
And this is actually happening on the island right now?
Some people don't want to see real gore,
so I think 3D models will be more suitable for streaming.
Yes, we'll still use the original audio, so you can easily picture it.
It's really something to hear.
If you watch it live, you can see what all the players are doing?
It makes you feel like a god.
You've done better than expected.
Well done!
It won't be long before we announce the project.
Make sure that all the fine details are done by then.
Leave it to me.
Okay,
since we've scouted this much, we'll be fine.
No one's in this building except us.
Honestly, I'd like to hurry back to Taira,
but the jungle at night is just too dangerous.
Let's go to sleep soon, so we can leave at first light.
But first...
Let's eat.
We started with so much, but now we're starting to run out.
Here.
Eat this, and cheer up.
It's probably about time I changed clothes.
A tee with the BTOOOM! logo?
Lame.
Here, this is for you.
A T-shirt.
You can use it to sleep in.
I'll go change.
Himiko, are you decent?
Wh-What is it?
You sleep in here.
I'll go to another room.
Why?
Wouldn't you rather not have a guy here?
I'm not going to betray you.
Goodnight.
Y—
You can't leave me here alone like this.
I'm scared.
O-Okay.
Then let's sleep together.
That's not what I meant, you pervert!
That's not what I meant, either!
Listen up.
Don't cross this line!
Fine.
And don't watch me when I'm sleeping.
Yes, ma'am.
Goodnight.
Well, at least she's starting to trust me a little.
If she hadn't saved me back there...
Thanks for earlier, Himiko.
Already asleep?
I'm awake.
I should be thanking you.
But coming after me without BIMs...
That was crazy.
You're nuts.
I guess so.
Why would you do all that?
For someone you only knew in a game, whom you'd never met in real life?
You didn't need to go that far.
I still don't completely understand it myself.
Taira was hurt,
and I'd been knocked off a cliff...
Maybe I just wasn't thinking straight.
When I'm backed into a corner,
it's like a switch inside me is flipped,
and I suddenly become calm and detached.
Maybe I've just done too much gaming.
That still doesn't explain
why you took such a huge risk to save me.
It was because I thought
you really were the Himiko I know from BTOOOM!.
I was a NEET, you know.
I quit school, and I didn't work.
I just played online games day after day.
I put my online friends ahead of everything else in my life.
To me, my online self was the real me.
And my friends on the net were everything.
But Himiko cared about me anyway.
It made me really happy.
Maybe I was just starved for human affection.
So when I thought she was in danger,
I didn't think twice.
Turned out I was wrong, though.
I'm sorry.
I had the wrong idea.
But I'm glad you're safe.
What? She fell asleep?
Good night.
Stupid.
I was so happy, I could've burst.
I had given up.
When you came to save me like a hero in the movies...
you were the Sakamoto I knew...
I hadn't planned to meet you in real life.
I didn't want to open my heart to more men.
I didn't know what to do!
Wh-Why?
Himiko.
Himiko...
I—
I...
What? What happened?!
S-Someone was there...
I saw a pale white person.
A ghost...
No way.
Nothing on the radar.
But we searched this building thoroughly.
Are you sure you saw someone?
It looked right at me through disheveled black hair,
with a really scary expression...
It was probably a bad dream.
You had a rough day, so it would make sense.
I really saw it!
It shone a light in my face!
It had a flashlight?
Yeah.
I couldn't see its features since it was so bright,
but I'm sure it had a flashlight.
That's gotta be another player.
Nothing on the radar, no matter how many times I try.
If they ran away, I should see it moving!
Could it be hiding somewhere nearby?
Come with me.
We'll look for it together.
No one here...
Let's split up and search.
You check this floor.
I'll take the one above.
It's too dark...
I can't be alone!
I can't!
What are you saying?
We need to find them now.
A light...
I'll go look.
Send two radar pings if you need me.
W-Wait!
It's far away.
Did it run that far?
How could it without showing up on radar?
Or is it hiding close by?
That could also be someone different.
No one's here.
But what is this room?
It looks like someone's been staying here for a long time.
Whoever's living here...
They left the light on. Where did they...
Is this like the BTOOOM! trick,
where you leave a trail to lure the enemy in?!
A trap?
This is bad.
I have to get out of here!
Now's my chance!
A woman?
Her left arm...
No, she doesn't have a chip.
That's why she didn't show up on radar.
This was the ghost.
Is she a player, too?
But if she is,
how long has she been here?
Hey, Himiko, actually...
You scared the shit out of me!
What happened?
Huh? What?
Come with you?
Who is this?
I don't know.
But her chip is gone, along with her left hand.
She seems to have been here a while.
If nothing else,
she isn't one of the players who arrived with us.
U-Um, are you okay?
A man!
S-Stay back!
G-G-Get the fuck out!
Calm down!
Get out!
We aren't going to hurt you!
Stop!
A man!
Get the fuck out, man!
Leave the room.
Why?
Get out!
Just let me handle this!
Get out! Go away!
Calm down!
We won't do anything.
What the hell's her problem?
That hurt!
What do you want with me?
I don't have a chip or any BIMs.
That's okay.
I was hoping you could tell me about this island.
Then let me tell you something important.
If you're a woman,
you shouldn't trust any men here.
That's what I thought, too.
But now I think I'll need to work with him
to survive.
You trust him that much?
Yes, I do now.
He's saved me many times.
I also know him from before.
You're being naïve.
None of that matters here.
Everyone's looking out only for themselves here.
Did you two just get here?
Then maybe I can't make you understand.
Fine.
I can't just ignore you. You seem like a danger magnet.
So let me tell you something.
It's probably been six months since I came here.
My name is Murasaki Shiki.
I was a nurse.
I worked hard at a hospital that was understaffed.
And before I knew it, I was nearly forty.
One day, there was a serious medical accident.
The doctor in charge of the operation
was a man I respected.
Because I respected him, I did all I could to protect him.
I even altered the medical charts.
But then...
Nurse Murasaki is completely responsible.
The hospital abandoned me
to face an angry public alone.
And then I got a letter.
It said, "Is there anyone around that you'd like to be rid of?"
Ironically,
there was someone else out there who chose me too.
Let's put the past behind us, and overcome this together.
We'll get fourteen chips and escape together!
We began to play this battle royale.
This is the fifth chip.
It's all thanks to you, Shiki.
I'll never let you go again.
The two of us were together on this island.
But the moment we killed the sixth player...
D-Doctor Date?
If I kill you, I'll have seven chips.
That's all I need.
Bye.
My homing bombs really do lack lethality.
It didn't kill her.
But, luckily enough, it looks like it knocked off the chip.
Farewell, Shiki.
I'll live for you, too.
I was such a stupid woman.
But without a chip, I didn't register on anyone's radar.
So I survived.
You're from the game before ours, aren't you?
What are they thinking, repeating this game again and again?
You should be careful, too.
When you get six chips,
the two of you will be tested.
I see...
She's a survivor from the last game.
But from her story, if you get all the chips,
someone will come for you.
She said a helicopter landed.
Do you think it would be possible to jack it?
We have all these BIMs.
Don't you think we could threaten a helicopter pilot?
We could get enough for one person, seven chips, and call the helicopter.
If it works, you and I, that woman, and Taira...
If we work together, we could all get out of here!
It's dawn.
Let's get back to Taira.
Y-Yeah.
I couldn't tell him about what happens when you get six chips.
I trust him.
But...
I couldn't tell him about it.
Or about who I really am...
If you're going to the observation point,
the path along the mountain is your best bet.
Okay.
Thanks for all you've done for us.
It's fine.
I've taken a liking to you, so I just want to help you.
What are you doing?
I thought I could use this against any lizards.
Sticks are effective.
But the giant lizards on this island are nocturnal.
So use it as a walking stick during the day.
All right.
Keep her safe, okay?
Sure.
Damn it...
I can't believe I was sent back to the island.
This island is full of enemies.
They'll try to kill you to survive.
They'll act kind, then betray you without a thought.
The only person I can believe in is Ryouta.
Ryouta...
Please don't die.
