#2: Pilot Chapter
_Marisa: Hum, well obviously we're all in the same situation, aren't we?
_Tarou: Oh no, this...this is really bad...my memories...what happened?
_Yamasaki: Then this confirms that I'm not the only one. Apparently, none of us here can remember anything about our life before coming here.
_Tarou: Oh really, you too?
_Yamasaki: That's right. But, this feels really weird. I don't know if this is how amnesia truly feels, but right now I feel as if...as if my head was empty right now. Do you also feel the same way?
_Tarou: Uhm...kinda. Honestly, I don't even feel any kind of pain, I just can't remember.
_Marisa: Luckily for you, you're not anguishing, unlike me. This feeling of emptiness is...is so awful.
_Yamasaki: Uhm...yeah, I understand that but...what about him? The other guy.
(Next Scene)
Tarou and Yamasaki approach Jin, but Marisa stands still, looking with doubt at him.
_Tarou: Hello man, how are you, could you please help us get together out of this situation?
_Jin: ...
_Tarou: Hey, come on, this is some really weird stuff that is happening, we need to work together to find an exit. You're in the same situation as us, right?
_Jin: ...(vaguely nods his head).
_Marisa: What's going on over there, is he deaf?
_Yamasaki: No, it's just that he doesn't want to talk.
_Marisa: What the, you serious? Why? Is he mute then?
_Tarou: Uhm... (looks back at Jin) Say, could it be that you are mute?
_Jin: (vaguely nods his head sideways).
_Tarou: He said no!
_Marisa: Uh? Then what the heck?! What the heck is wrong with him?! Is he mentally disabled or something?!
_Jin: (nods again his head in denial)
_Tarou: He said no!
_Marisa: YOU WANNA STOP ACTING LIKE HIS TRANSLATOR?! COME ON, FORCE HIM TO TALK ON HIS OWN, HE CAN'T GET AWAY WITH SUCH BEHAVIOUR!
_Yamasaki: Maybe... maybe he's in shock by this situation. He seems to be a shy person, so it could be hard for him to interact with new people all of a sudden. Especially, in a situation as bizarre as this one.
_Jin: ...
_Tarou: Guess so, might as well give him some time to trust us.
_Marisa: Ugh, now even the one supposed to be smart is saying stupid ideas. Why, why am I being punished like this? Why did I get locked with 3 psychopaths...
As Marisa speaks, she lowers her head and facepalms her forehead. As she does this, she finally notices the wooden table placed in the middle of the sofas...
INCLUDING THE SHARP KNIFE THAT HAS BEEN THERE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING!
Marisa gasps out of shock, but in doing so she makes everyone notice her. She covers her mouth, signalizing she was meant to remain silent.
_Tarou: Is something wrong?
_Marisa: Uhm, you know, I just feel like I'm getting too sensitive right now, with this situation and all. But, uhm...
_Yamasaki: ...
_Marisa: I'm just starting to hallucinate weirds things around me, that's why I got scared. This situation... is too stressful for me, you know?
_Tarou: Oh... well that's fine, no one will judge you for that, so just try to relax, ok?
_Marisa: Yes, yes...that's what I'll do...
_Yamasaki: ...
DID YOU ALSO NOTICE THE KNIFE?
Dramatic pause. Marisa freaks out, Yamasaki looks seriously at her, and Tarou tries to understand the situation. He then looks at the center and sees the knife as well.
_Tarou: Uh, oh...oh look! Yes you're right, I hadn't noticed, but there's a knife on that table, that's very weird.
Tarou walks into the center of the room to check the knife, but then...
_Marisa: GET AWAY FROM THE KNIFE! DON'T TOUCH IT!
_Tarou: Wait what?! What's the problem, why did you scream like that?
_Marisa: (looks very stressed out) Shut up, you. I don't care what you think, but whatever you do, don't even dare picking that knife.
_Tarou: But...oh come on, nothing bad is going to happen, I doubt it's a trap, so...
Yamasaki steps forward and grabs Tarou by his shoulder.
_Yamasaki: (serious face) Don't move, I'm warning you.
_Tarou: What the, you too?!
_Yamasaki: Listen, don't take this the wrong way, I would do this regardless of who you were... but it's best that everyone stays away from the knife, for the sake of everyone's safety.
(Dramatic pause, show the facial expressions of all four characters)
_Tarou: What...what are you saying? Are you also losing your sanity by all of this? I am not going to use that knife to hurt anyone, I just wanted to check it.
_Yamasaki: That's just your opinion, but think about it. We still can't find the exit of this room, and there's a tool that could be used for killing, we should all stay away from it... it's for the best.
_Tarou: (looks confused) ...
_Jin: ...
_Marisa: That's right, no one here has a real reason to trust each other, because everyone has forgotten their memories. And not just that, it could be that someone is lying about their amnesia to find an opportunity to harm us.
_Yamasaki: Indeed, that's a possibility...
_Tarou: T-then what, what are we supposed to do?
_Yamasaki: Well first of all, I suggest we all go back to our couches and sit on them. That way, everyone is at the same distance from the knife, and we can easily look at each other to ensure no one tries grabbing it.
_Tarou: Sigh, alright, alright...
Marisa, Yamasaki and Tarou go back to sitting on their coaches. Now, a tense atmosphere surrounds everyone, as they stare each other with distrust. Barely 10 minutes have passed.
_Tarou: Alright, we all sat down, now what? Weren't we going to find a secret exit?
_Yamasaki: Yes, that was going to be the plan. But... you know, now that everyone here has realized that there's a knife in the room, we can no longer take our eyes away from it, we can't risk being attacked, even if the others react and stop the attacker...
_Tarou: Ok but, we can't stay here forever, can we? We must find a solution we can all agree with. That would make things easier, right? Right?
_Marisa: Honestly, the bigger problem here is that this room is completely sealed, so eventually we'll run out of air to breathe, especially since we are four people.
_Yamasaki: That's true, we are on a timer, and there's nothing we can do to delay it.
_Marisa: Then what do you suggest? Because, I'll be very honest, I have no reason to trust anyone in this room. Forgive me but, I hope you understand, I just can't expose myself to being deceived and killed.
_Tarou: But that just makes things worse! We have to trust one another!
_Marisa: Yeah, no chance, weirdo.
_Tarou: Hey! Again with that?!
_Jin: ...
_Yamasaki: Hold up, we don't even know what's outside of this room, becoming enemies will only reduce our chances of survival. Therefore, that's the first step, that's what we must do right now. Even if...even if everyone here has lost all of their memories...
WE MUST FIND A WAY TO GET EVERYONE TO TRUST ONE ANOTHER.
