[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

I'm Henry, and I guess I'm team Drama! That's what it said on the door, anyway.

Have you done this before? [There were a few vets on the drama team, but he didn't get much info out of them except that people aren't supposed to murder each other, which Henry thinks is a really stupid rule.]

[nods]

Yes. It wasn't exactly like this, but it was similar enough to... Mm. Have you been in a situation like this before, Henry-san?

Oh, you have those weird honorifics too, huh? Okay.

And nope! I mean, I've been in a school before, obviously, but that was a military academy. We definitely didn't do things like drama or art.

[military huh]

I can drop the honorific, if you'd prefer that. Anyway, it would be nice if club activities were the point of this place, but the student handbook didn't mention them at all.

You can do whatever! I'm just saying, we don't have those back in Arachenea, and you're the second person to call me 'san'.

Anyway, no, it didn't. But it kind of didn't mention anything except "fair trade" and "no murdering"... and that last rule is kind of dumb, if you ask me.

[Like, come on. No murdering? How is Henry supposed to have fun?]

[if you're paying attention, you can see the moment she understands something]

No, Henry-san. It's not dumb, although maybe it doesn't seem that way for someone from the military.

[Uhhhhh.]

Why's that?

[He's still smiling.]

[of course he is]

We didn't have a rule like that where I was before, and it caused many problems between teams. People were scared, and there were also some who took advantage of it.

...Ooooh, you're another one of those people who don't like killing, aren't you?

[It seems like this is a significant discovery for him.]

[she seems not to be surprised, though]

Yes. Are you one of those who do?

Yuuup. Killing is totally one of my favourite things to do.

[Right up there with preparing curses and petting fluffy animals.]

[this person]

...Is everyone on your team like that?

Wwwwhaddya mean? Like, orange team or...?

[He looks down at his Drama-orange uniform.]

Yes, the people who were with you when you woke up.

Oh, nope, just me. But I'm used to being the odd man out, so it's okay.

[ SMILE ]

[I don't even]

You...

Where you come from, do the people you kill come back? I mean... Are you really talking about killing? Ending a life for good, never being able to speak with that person again?

...Well I don't kill the people I like! Only a psychopath would do that.

I just happen to kill for a living and really, really enjoy it, that's all.

...Well, now I'm even more glad for that "no murder" rule...

Well, I'm kind of taking the no murder rule with a grain of salt. I made promises to Kit and Coco -- my teammates -- that I'm only gonna kill people when it's necessary, and also that I'll try to focus my violence on whoever brought us here. No promises, though! Nya ha ha ha!

K-Kit and Coco are here?!

Uh-huh! We're all roomies on Team Drama! [He tugs at the end of his orange-coloured sleeve.] What's your name? I can tell them you're here, if you want.

[the horror]

I told you, I'm Rue... But it's okay, I'll find them myself.

Please don't go around saying you enjoy killing. Worst comes to worst, you'll make your team a target.

Oh, they're not going to be a target. Because if anyone attacks my team, I attack them.

Yes, that's how that kind of competition is played. But sometimes, you don't know.

Let's just hope we'll really spend our time doing club activities of some sort.

What are "club activities"? I've never done any.
