Wrong.
Assassinate?
Wrong.
Play dead?
Wrong.
It's "don't fight homicidal maniacs."
I don't understand.
I've killed people during games.
Isn't that enough for the rest of society to consider me a homicidal maniac?
These games are built around survival, not killing, as the win condition.
That's why we've become specialized in only that.
But homicidal maniacs are different.
They're playing a different game.
Whatever you do, don't fight them.
What if I'm forced to fight one?
What if it's the only way to win?
What do I do then?
Training is over.
Figure the rest out yourself.
It was probably Hakushi's so-called "homicidal maniac"
who threw the pine cone,
but that would mean she'd been targeting her.
Impossible. She'd never make a mistake like that.
But there was no other plausible explanation.
No. That doesn't matter.
What I should be focusing on right now is...
my own survival.
A-chan?
What will happen to me if I don't become a swan?
What?
A duck...
If I'm still a duck when I grow up...
what should I do?
What do you think you should do?
Huh? Me?
If I'm still a duck?
But I like ducks more than swans.
Really?
Then you'll be fine even if you stay a duck.
Even if I don't become a swan...
Even if I can't do anything about it...
Still... That's exactly why...
All I can do is fight back.

No matter how far it went, the sun never got closer.
Instead, as it gradually grew smaller and farther,
the sun said...
"You are a grey nightjar.
I see. That must be quite difficult for you.
Fly tonight, and ask the stars for a favor.
After all, you are not a daytime bird."
Moegi-san.
It will soon be 5 PM on day one.
It is time for everyone to go home.
Good. You're still alive.
There's a serial killer among the rabbits,
so no one can focus on the game.
You're not leaving, are you?
No.
I felt hopeless by myself. I'm glad I ran into you.
The situation has become difficult, but let's survive together.
Okay.
So, I know it's a lot to ask, but may I make a request?
I don't have any weapons right now.
If you can afford to spare anything, then...
Sure.
Thank you.
One shot will do, right?
It is now 5 PM.
The gates will open again at 6 AM tomorrow.

I ran into a rabbit.
