Day Seven [Holden Caulfield]

[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.]

[He puts up his hands like WOAH PUT THE KNIFE DOWN]

Yeah, but the town contains people who would vote for you - or Touko, either way Critter counts you the same - and America - yeah, I guess you've figured that out and if you haven't congratulations, now you know why England's claiming - is one of them!

[Becoming a hostage kinda sucks.] According to Critter's tally you and Touko count as one person. Hunter or prey you can't take down two at once if you die. Keep that in mind. Don't go mad with power here.

Because you do have a lotta power here - it's really obvious now the Hunters are the poisoners now, not the prey. If America actually thought you were a carnivore right now he would have actually literally been dropped on his head as a baby. But you have to realize it's not just thinking Akane might be guilty that kept America from saving her - he could tell she didn't have a role, and I'm guessing you don't either or you probably would have mentioned it during this taking me hostage business. Oh, and you have to take into account that Critter made it very clear someone could fake your condition.

I'll vouch for you like I did for Akane - hell, later today when it gets bad I'll help you walk like I did her if you really want. But how the hell is taking me hostage gonna help with that?

...

Hey, you're not gonna lock me in here, are you?

[He keeps kind of forgetting that Touko-Syo is a Hope's Peak kid because there are so damn many of them. Sayaka, Kyouko, Togami, and Naegi - those roles he'd picked up by now. Mondo and Aoi were surely normal prey, Kyouko'd made that clear. But he hadn't asked about Touko and now he is paying the price hard. Shit.]

So we're all clear... How exactly are you gonna hold me hostage, now? I mean, what's preventing me from just getting up and walking away. It's just her stuff, right? Or are you actually threatening me with that knife of yours. Damn, I knew I should have gotten to the supply shop... I brought a hunting knife with me, you know, but Critter took it when he took everyone else's weapons.

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.

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.]
