[ looking at one of the coffee shops. ]
... Why are there two of these?
... Why are there two of these?
One for each area? That's pretty normal for airports, they're usually huge.
Really? Coffee's everywhere back home, and people love it when they've got long flights and transfers and stuff. The caffeine helps you power through the jetlag, or something.
I see...
It's served on special occasions at the manor. But I dislike it.

It's an acquired taste. I think most people don't like it when they're younger, especially when it's served black.
You don't have to drink the coffee, there's probably something else, too.

Right... The "Xpress" store seemed to have some acceptable options. Though the clothing leaves much to be desired.
Yeah, those stores aren't meant to sell quality goods, just something to get you through. There are better options in the duty free shop, I think, but it's still locked.
I didn't see any way to unlock those items... Perhaps the hosts might know what we need to do.
It requires a payment. We just don't have anything to pay with just yet.
[ kate starts thinking about how she's pretty much never actually had to handle money before in her life... ]
... Are they going to give us an allowance? Or... prize money as part of the "competition," perhaps?

That's what they did in the Reaper's Game. There an the allowance, then whatever else we earned by doing other stuff.
So it's a real possibility...
I suppose that could be a strong incentive to do whatever tasks are presented to us... provided they aren't too ridiculous.

I'm hoping not, though, because it was kind of a pain sometimes, but it's familiar, at least.
[ he kinda... grimaces... ]
Some of the missions we had were... not great. But then we had things like pet racing, so it's hard to say.

Pet racing...?
[ she's trying to picture it. ]
What else did they have you do?
[ she's trying to picture it. ]
What else did they have you do?
Yeah, like we had dogs and cats and other animals, and a race track and we had to guide them to the finish line. Some off them didn't want to do it at all.
Uh. The Olympics. Warehouse decorating. Treasure hunting in a maze. There was a dance at one point?

Oh... That sounds very fun.
We didn't do anything like that... oh, except for... we did have a dance. It was nice.

Well, some of it was. The Olympics would have been better without the bombs and tear gas. The rest were mostly okay.
...Yeah, the dance wasn't so bad. It was a nice break from everything else.

[ bombs and tear gas...... okay...... ]
... It was like that for us, too. Everything was really terrible, but... for just a little bit, it wasn't.

[ he smiles. ]
I get it. Even if itโs just for a little bit, youโve got to enjoy the moments you can.

[ after execution, kate is headed towards the relaxation area. as always, it can be hard to tell what she's feeling, but she does turn her head to look at kazuki. ]
... Was it different for you? Before, I mean...
[ considering... the way he immediately tried to get the hell out of there. ]

...A little. Erasures still happened, but we didn't have to be there for it if we didn't want to.
But it sounds like that isn't the norm around here.

I'm never been a fan of watching people die. [ sighs. ] The only reason I started going is because we lost a team at one of them. I didn't like hearing about it secondhand, but I still hate watching or hearing the rest.
