Day Seven [Holden Caulfield]

[singlefault]

[Following this conversation Syo leads Holden to her cabin. She sits atop the table and pulls up something onto her lap - a book. She coughs roughly after taking her seat on it and grins.]

On the bed Holden. I have some fun things to talk to you about!

[She's sure Holden doesn't have the cure to the poison - he would have given it to Akane Kurashiki if he did. But, that isn't what this is about. This is about making sure she doesn't die. And she has a plan to make it so.]

It's simple! When the trial begins I'm going to come up from behind, kick you to the ground and put the knife to your throat. You act as you would if anyone put a knife to your throat and don't tell anyone that we agreed to this ahead of time! Don't worry, I won't kill you accidentally - I'm a pro at this, you can trust me on that.

You're just going to have to stay like that all trial long. Oh, and I'll make clear that no one is to try and stop me. If there's an accident......

Well lets just say that you should make an effort to make sure no one comes too close ok?!

You're a real crazy girl, Syo. But you're too crazy to act like this and be a hunter. I know that much. And I don't want to see more prey die. Not after Akane. We're losing the game badly enough as it is.

Don't be so surprised if all this little stunt does is get both of us killed, though.

Didn't I tell you? I'm not dying by poison. No way in hell. And if that nitwit doesn't agree to save me, then for all I care the Prey deserve to lose.

[She puts the knife down on the table and nods her head toward the door.]

Get lost. We're done here.

[goddamnphonies]

Seeeeee you at the trial.

[He gets up. Glances at the knife - thinks of stealing it, thinks better of it.

Backs away slowly to the door. Unlocks and opens it. Goes through. Closes it.

Once he's outside he's running.]
