horror movie night and there is only one blanket so everyone crowds around sharing the sides and corners, limbs all tangled.
It takes some convincing to get the few friends Ryo has to come over and test out his new television, but after hauling out his old medical books, and a long speech on why the device won’t kill them, his guests finally settle in.
Anjyu mocks the premise, characters, special effects, or all of the above every other minute (completely killing whatever fear factor the film is trying to build).
Kumoko tries in vain to shush him, but every time Ryo chimes in too (he’d like to hear the movie too, thanks) she switches sides. Well, I mean, if I didn’t know he was possessed I’d think it was a bloody nose too. Maybe Anjyu’s little tsundere friend secretly isn’t into horror films.
Mikan has horded all the snacks to herself and refuses to relinquish any without bribery… Until Ryo threatens to turn the television off, then suddenly she’s miss hostess.
Togo is the only quiet one, staring transfixed at the screen. But Ryo recognizes that look. It’s the same one he had two months ago right before he disassembled a watch the other two got him during the holidays. Carefully Ryo scooches here and there until they’re all so tangled together that any hope of Togo freeing himself is even less likely than the movie protagonist making it out of this story alive. He is not letting the television go to pieces without a fight.
