Chapter 2 - Part 10
Oh, hi Mahiru.
I wasn’t able to ask at the meeting, but was Nagito alright?
Ah... Yeah, he was fine.
So he was difficult, but not *too* difficult... at least for you.
Eh... did she just read my mind?
Speaking of the meeting, will you be coming to Sonia’s party?
Hmm. I’m not really sure...
...
Hey, why are you out so late?
I... want to take some photos of the beach. What about you?
I’m just walking back to my cottage.
Oh... okay.
Um... I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then.
...
...Chiaki?
Don’t do anything weird, Mahiru.
Eh?
...Goodnight. See you tomorrow. [leaves]
What... came over her?
For some reason, she suddenly seemed... disturbed?
E...Eh? Hajime?
...Mahiru?
Hey... what are you doing out here so late?
I just wanted to take some photos of the beach. Is there a problem with that?
You’re not thinking of playing the game, are you?
Um... No, I’m not... Why are you even asking?
...It doesn’t matter.
Well, okay...
Hey, you’re not the only person who’s still awake, are you?
If I can still talk to them, then...
...
You know what, nevermind that stuff I said before.
Right now... there’s something more important on my mind. [leaves]
W-What the hell was that about? Did he think he was being assertive, talking to me like that?
Jeez, guys are so difficult...!
Alright, I’m here...
It’ll be fine if I only play for a couple of minutes. Any longer would be unnecessary...
Whatever happens, I won’t let this game manipulate me...
I will never kill someone, no matter what I see!
I repeated those words to myself as I gripped the controllers of the machine.
Then... the screen lit up.
