(Video) Paul Schrader Discusses Yukio Mishima | The Dick Cavett Show


.......... / Professor Mishima... is dead. / Because of... our votes. / Despair falls over us... / We keep our distance. Nao alone sits near Professor Mishima.

Sara
(How should I sort out these feelings? / I can't... think of what to say to Nao...)

Investigate Nao.

Nao
..........


Nao is sitting by the professor, dumbfounded.

Investigate Mishima.


Professor Mishima... in a pool of blood. / ...I'm afraid to come any closer.

(Attempt to) Move to Back of Cafeteria.


Suddenly, as I looked toward the exit...

Sou
Dammit! She got us!!

Sara
(Sou...?)

Sou
Miss Sara... Look at this...


Sou slowly closed the door to the room.

Sara
(There's a message here...!)

Sou
Read it, miss Sara...


The Second Trial ~Practice Round~ This is a practice for the Main Game. The start is signaled by the doll's revival. / Follow instructions and hold a majority vote. The one with the most votes is to be sacrificed. / However, this is a practice round. If the votes come to a draw, the game is forfeit.

Sara
(What...?!)

Sou
The Second Trial... It's named just like that first one we did...

Sara
We never noticed... this note...!

Reko
Dammit! It's all 'cause I said to keep the door open in case there was danger...!!

Kai
...We were clearly led into doing so. This room had an ominous air even before entering.

Joe
The game's forfeit if it's a draw? Then... don't tell me...!

Keiji
...If everyone had gotten the same votes... Then there'd be no sacrifice. Is that right?

Q-taro
Y... Yer kiddin' me! S-So he died for nothin'?!

Sara
(It was an avoidable trap! If we'd just checked the door...! Professor Mishima...) / ... / (I'm... worried about Nao...)

Investigate Nao.

Nao
Professor... Professor... / This is... just a lie, right? Professor... / Please... Please get up... / You can't do this... Everyone's worried... / Professor...?


Nao... weakly shook Professor Mishima's body.

Nao
...?


And his scorched, fragile neck... fell.

Nao
...Pro... fessor...? / ...

Joe
N... Nao! D... Don't touch that!

Gin
Meow... the old guy...

Joe
Don't look, Gin! Stay away!

Q-taro
Dammit...!! Dammit!! What the hell!!

Joe
Who... who voted... for Mishima...?

Reko
Shaddup, you eyesore...!!

Joe
H... Huh?! I mean... it's because of the votes he...!

Reko
It's always possible everybody voted for someone 'sides themselves, you know!!

Joe
...!

Keiji
...Settle down, now. / Listen, everybody. ... Don't do any probing into each other's votes.

Joe
But...!

Keiji
We voted without knowing a thing. No one... had any ill will. / You'd know that, right, Sara?

Sara
...I...

CHOICE: Keiji's right

Sara
Keiji is right. We shouldn't talk about the votes, Joe.

Joe
Sara... / ... / I got it... / Just let me... be alone for a sec...

CHOICE: Joe's right

Sara
...No, Joe is right. It's better that we make the votes clear...

Keiji
... / ...Well, shoot. I thought if anybody would understand, it'd be you... / ... / Well, fine. Even if we do talk about it, not now. Can't have a calm chat when we're emotional, right?

Joe
F... Fine. Once we've calmed down a little... / I'll go cool my head. Let me... be alone for a sec...

CHOICE: Keep silent

Sara
..........

Joe
Sara... / Right... You've got a lot on your plate too, huh... / ...I'm gonna... go cool my head too...


Joe staggered out of the room. / And the others... some left, some stayed. They all began to scatter their own ways.

Investigation

Investigate Nao.

Nao
..........


Nao is sitting by the professor, dumbfounded.

Investigate Gin.

Gin
...

Sara
Gin, I know how you feel, but you shouldn't be here...

Gin
...J-Just a little longer, meow... / It was just for a little bit... but... We were searching together, woof...

Sara
(Gin...)

Investigate Keiji.

(Video) Yasunari Kwabata - Thousand Cranes

Keiji
...

Sara
(Keiji seems to be in thought...)

CHOICE: Everyone went outside, huh

Keiji
.......... / They all need time to think right now. / So do you, Sara... And me too, 'course. / ...I'm sure everybody'll come back.

CHOICE: Stand silently

No additional dialogue.

Move to Back of Cafeteria → Cafeteria

Investigate Kai.


Kai is staring directly at the kitchen.

Kai
It is locked... Perhaps there's nothing to be done.

Sara
(Kai...?)

CHOICE: What are you doing?

Kai
I was thinking of ways to enter the kitchen. It has not yet been checked, you see.

Sara
...You're so calm.

Kai
...

CHOICE: What are you plotting?

Kai
Ah, now that isn't very nice. I just want to cook for everyone, that's all. / Granted... I doubt there are any ingredients in the kitchen. / How stingy.

Sara
(.......... / Is this person... really my stalker...? / ... / I thought, if he was the stalker... he'd be with the kidnappers. / But... When he hit Miley, I sensed undeniable hostility. / Kai was... angry...)

Kai
Miss Sara...?

Sara
Err, Kai... Are you... / Ah...! / (The lights...!)

Kai
Miss Sara, are you all right?

Sara
I'm fine.

Kai
It may be a trap. Let us look for the switch.

Investigate light from under the table.


Something's glowing...

CHOICE: Look closely at it

Sara
(There are glowing letters using fluorescent paint. ...They're on some sort of paper... / It's... a card?)

CHOICE: Pick it up

Sara
(It's... a card? / The letters on it are glowing.)

CHOICE: Don't touch

No additional dialogue.


The one who claims this: This now belongs to you. Keep it on you always. This is a key to the exit. / Let no one else know the existence of this card. Otherwise, you will die.

Sara
(What... is this...?)

Kai
Miss Sara, are you unharmed?


I hid the card before I could even think.

Sara
I-I'm okay. Looks like the lights came on.

Kai
Let us look at the other rooms to see if anything occurred in that moment.

Sara
...

CHOICE: Look at the card text


When I looked at the card again, the text could no longer be seen.

Sara
(Is it invisible in the light...? / I'd better check the back, too...)

CHOICE: Look on the back

No additional dialogue.


On the back of the card was a strange image.

Sara
(Keymaster...? / The other text seemed to disappear, so... What does “Keymaster” mean? / ... / If I don't follow those rules... I'll die? / ...I feel like I'm being led by them again...)

Move to Central Hall.

Sara
(What is that...?!)


Where there had been nothing before, now there were stairs.

Sara
(Is this another trap...?)

Investigate Q-taro.

Q-taro
Now when'd this get here...!

Sara
Don't tell me these stairs lead to...

CHOICE: The Main Game grounds?

Q-taro
Dunno 'bout that... But whatever the case, bet we gotta go...

CHOICE: A way out?

Q-taro
Don't have... the biggest hopes. But I don't wanna throw 'em away...

Q-taro
Dammit, it's just gonna be a trap anyhow...! Whaddya think, Sara?

Sara
...Everyone's on edge right now... If we go, we should get everyone together first.

Q-taro
.......... / ...But you heard about the Main Game... right? We're gonna... make one of us die...? / 'Course I don't wanna take part in it... But mentally... How're we supposed to have unity...?

Sara
You... might have a point, but...

Q-taro
... / ...Dammit! / Awright. I'm gonna wait. / Gonna try an' believe in you. We'll go up here when everyone's assembled. / Anybody tries to go up on their own, I'll catch 'em but good.

Sara
Please don't be rough, okay?

Investigate Sou.

Sou
Look, miss Sara! There are these stairs here now.

Sara
Wonder where they lead...

Sou
I don't know... But... / Miley left a few spots of blood. I'm sure she went up here.

Sara
...Miley...!!

CHOICE: Did anyone else go up?

Sou
I only just got here, so I dunno... Has anyone gone missing?

CHOICE: Let's go catch her

Sou
That's too rash! If you screw up... She'll kill you with your collar. / Hopefully nobody gets mad and goes after her... Couldn't stand having collective responsibility for someone getting killed...

Sara
(I can't imagine anyone would go up these stairs on their own, but...)

Sou
You aren't thinking of going up, are you, miss Sara? / I'm telling you for your own good... You should refrain for now. / More importantly, there's something I wanna show you.

Sara
Eh...?

Sou
Come to the back of the cafeteria. ...Please.

Sara
Ah, Sou...! / (I wonder what he wants to show me...)

Move to Cafeteria → Back of Cafeteria.

Sara
(Right... Sou told me to come here, but...)

Sou
...Miss Sara. This way, this way. I'm over here...

Sara
What...? Sou, is that you?


I held the lighter in the direction of his voice.

Sara
(A door...?! / To think this was here...)

Move to Hidden Room.

(Video) There Is No Game... (Part 1)

Sou
Dark, isn't it? There's only the light from that stand.

Sara
What did you want to show me in this place?

Sou
Check what's on the desk.

Investigate desk.


There's something placed on the desk.

Sara
(...! It's a laptop computer!)

Sou
Very intriguing, right? / I did try starting it up. There's no power cord, but it seems to be running on battery power. / So once the battery's dead, it's over. Want to investigate what's on it, but...

Sara
Right...

CHOICE: What is on it?

Sou
Umm... About that...

CHOICE: This could be a trap, too

Sou
I'm aware of that. But we can't not investigate it, you know? / However... There's a problem.

Sou
This laptop... it's locked with a password.

Sara
So you can't see what's stored on it?

Sou
I tried some random passwords, but all I accomplished was draining battery... / ...You got any ideas?

Sara
Hmm...

CHOICE: Someone's name

Sou
Aha! That's a possibility. / And if it opens with someone's name... There's a good chance they're the laptop's owner! / ...But if it's a name we don't know, there'd be no way for us to learn it.

CHOICE: The kidnappers' organization

Sou
Don't tell me... You know the name of the organization behind this?!

Sara
No... I don't.

Sou
R-Right, of course... Oof...

CHOICE: A birthday

Sou
Ah, the classic password. ...In a bad way.

Sara
If it's a birthday, then we'll find the answer in 365 tries!

Sou
Ahaha... Feels like you wanna make me do it...

Sou
It'd be best if we could just conveniently find a piece of paper with the password...

Sara
Now that would definitely be a trap.

Sou
...Yeah. / Hmm... If we just had a hint... / .......... / ...! / Ahh... ...A hint, huh? / Maybe this is a hint from the kidnappers.

Sara
What do you mean?

Sou
There's probably information on here that's valuable to us, but worthless to them. / Solve the riddle, and we'll generously give it out. If you can't, it doesn't matter to us... Like that. / And we can't see it once the battery goes dead, so it's like a time-limited treasure chest.

Sara
(...I can't see them being that kind.)

Sou
Okay, I'm going to stay here and work on figuring out the password! Miss Sara, tell me if you find any clues.

Sara
(...I shouldn't get too hopeful. / But I do need to have hope, and keep my head up... / Until the battery runs out... Maybe Sou will be able to keep his head up, too.)

Investigate bookshelves.

Sara
It's hard to see in the dark, but there are bookshelves.

Sou
They've got proper covers... But they're all blank notebooks on the inside. / Keiji was saying there might be a meaning to the ordering of the books, though.

Sara
(Keiji came here, too...?)
