She didn’t like any of this, really, even though Junko had reassured them time and time again that everything would be alright. They’d been given some sort of “trap” to rig up, something Chiaki didn’t fully understand herself. There were wires, ropes, metal bits... whatever. She’d just done what the instructions said, only looking up again when she felt Hajime take her hand. She squeezed back, hoping her palms weren’t too sweaty.
“Done with that part.” She’d cut the pad of her thumb on one of the wires. She stuck it in her mouth, eyeing up the fake knife they’d been given. Scare them, Junko had said. “Are you ready to record?” Chiaki asked, speaking around her injured thumb.
She had fake blood packets underneath her clothes. The goal was to stage her own death, then get it on video as the witnessing students fled from the scene and sprang the trap. The students would get paint all over them, and then a banner would fly up and explain that it was all a prank... supposedly.
Chiaki didn’t understand how this would change things, but Junko was a brilliant enigma. They just had to trust her.
