The sterile white chamber thrums with a low, electric dread on the second day. Sleep is a memory; the confession game left everyone hollowed out and too-aware. Then Monomoko’s voice, crisp and artificial, announces the random selection for the Decision Game. The air turns to glass. A name flashes on the screen: you. The punishment: a stab to the leg. You accept. The machine processes, then designates an aggressor. Ran Hama, the Ultimate Demonologist, steps forward. Her expression is a closed door as she reaches the table and hefts Item 8. The blade of the machete catches the sterile light, a cruel, gleaming line. From somewhere, Tsuno calls out about bandages, but the words hang in the thick silence.
