Plot[]

After escaping from Yoshio Akamatsu, Shuya Nanahara and Noriko Nakagawa decide to take a quick break and figure out what to do. Shuya opens his bag to find everything that Yonemi Kamon said would be in there plus his weapon which happens to be an army knife. He then takes a look in Noriko's bag to find her weapon is a boomerang.

Shuya decides to take a look at Noriko's wounded leg and pours some water on it. He then gets some alcohol that was was in his overnight bag that was intended for himself and his friends. He pours it onto a piece of cloth and wraps it around her wound. After knowing she might be okay, the two discuss what happened with Yoshio and wonder which of their classmates they could trust. Noriko then asks him if he thinks she is a good person as she doesn't believe that she is. She goes on to say that not even the girls she hangs out with are good and she's see what her classmates can do. She knows that trust is going to be hard to gain in this game as they are all scared and even if they did team up, someone may get scared because of the twenty-four hour limit and someone will end up dead. She then tells Shuya that even knowing all this, she can trust him as she knows him well enough and seen him do things for people, even if he doesn't get anything in return.

Shuya is taken aback and mentions how he can't believe that one of the prettiest girls at school notices him. This shocks Noriko as she didn't know he felt that way, but then feels guilty for how she is acting while their classmates are dying. Shuya remembers Yoshitoki Kuninobu and promises Noriko that once they get off the island, they will resume this discussion. Noriko is taken aback by this while Shuya explains that they just need to have faith in people and things may work out.

Back at the school, Yoshio wakes up and looks around for his crossbow and Shuya. Someone picks up the weapon and aims it at Yoshio's head. Yoshio's last thought is of Shuya and the arrow goes through his head. The shooter is Kazushi Niida who brags about already having a kill. He then sees the corpse of Mayumi Tendo and goes on to say that that was probably dumb luck that he killed her and he is now going to live out all his fantasies and be a star. Kazushi takes both Yoshio and Mayumi's weapons while he continues to brag about himself.
