[x] Speak to Nishijima. He's a cop, so he may be able to do something.

Get the adults out cops on this!

Interesting, but if we are getting literally nothing if we play this game I don´t see why we should risk our necks even if it is to support others (especially knowing that besides a few honorable exceptions most of the participants are a bunch of scumbags)...

Let the other ones kill themselves for the reward, I don´t really see the point in getting anywhere near the splash zone of this shitstorm if we are not getting anything out of it.

I mean, If I understood correctly @Shinobu Oshino we won´t be a target unless we reveal ourselves, but besides that, we have the same weakness and rules as the other Diary Owners, but unlike them, we are getting NADA for our efforts... So try but I fail to see any reason why we should intervene and not simply putting our phone into a zip bag to prevent the water to damage the phone and bury it in a random spot in the countryside so that no one can destroy the damned phone and forget about it.

Well, that'd be a plan if it wasn't for a certain pink-haired girl that would make that difficult. It's mostly up to you guys how you handle this, though as things have played out, you've been given quite a bit of leeway compared to other Diary Owners. Then there's the end result of the game to consider and the possibility of ending up in a world ruled by one of those 'scumbags'.

So Yuno, the crazy One Woman Army has already put her sights on us... An even better reason not to get involved in this whole mess... Ms. Yandere will kill us just to be sure and we have literally NOTHING to win here...

The Joke that Deus has done to us, having all the disadvantages of being a Diary User but without any reward at the end of the line can be described by the old Spaniard Saying "Ok to be the whore, but I'm not paying the room...",

Or if you prefer a more poetic variation:

All the sayings of ancient lore
State that if a man pays a woman in red
He can treat her like a whore
But he won´t ask her to provide the bed.

I don´t really see how can we change that... Yuno is basically Yandere Captain American and clever enough to avoid 99% of other indirect ways of dealing with her.

I don´t really see how to prevent her from winning the game, and if we are a baseline human the only difference if we intervene will be if whether our corpse will be on the ground like so many others at the end of the story.

Does using Deja Vu count as an action itself or can you do both an action and Deja Vu?

Cause if both happens at the same time then maybe adding doing nothing until Deja Vu happens might be important.

You can do a normal vote and a Deja Vu. And Deja Vu does not count as an 'action', so you're good in that regard.

Episode 2: 2 (Inverted Fractal: Yuno I)
  • Threadmarks
    • Inverted Fractal (Yuno I)​
    In another time, past or future...

    The clock struck midnight. Yukiteru went up stairs and asked Yuno and I to wait. I don't know what he's doing. If this was a ploy to get the two of us to talk to each other... I don't ... shit. I don't have much of a choice, do I?

    "Hey, Yuno. After this, are you and Yukiteru actually going to get married?" Talking to Yuno is difficult. Almost impossible when not at school, but somehow, I've been getting used to it, maneuvering around her… condition. I feel like one misstep and I'm dead, but if Yukiteru is around, I should be protected… for as long as there are more Diary Holders.

    "T-that's the plan." Yuno beams. It seems like the only time she's really happy is when she's talking about Yukki, thinking about Yukki, or… well, she really does have a one-track mind.

    "Would be nice to see. Knowing you, you've probably picked out a dress already." I laugh.

    "Well, I've given it a little thought." She's lying. It's probably the only thing that's on her mind.

    "Must be nice to have someone special that you care that much for."

    "Yeah. It's wonderful. I'd do anything for Yukki."

    "I don't doubt it, considering how far you've gotten." I have to pick my words carefully. It's usually easier to stay quiet and avoid eye contact with Yukiteru, but I felt pressed to speak to her tonight. It feels like I'm more of a hostage than a teammate for them. Is that really the pecking order here?

    "Vera."

    I choke on air. "Ghk, y-yeah?"

    "How do you feel about Yukki?"

    Shit. Is she really asking that? I mean, I don't see him that way, but … should I just be honest here?

    "I'm… uh…"

    Her eyes narrow. Am I going to die over a question like that?

    "I'm not into guys, so I don't see Yukki like that." As soon as I say that, she relents. She was setting a trap? Holy shit. "But as a person, I think he's nice, perceptive, and strong…?"

    Why is she staring at me like that? Again!? Does me being a girl set her off that much? Though, if I was a guy, I don't think this would be any easier. My head would probably be rolling.

    What happened to push her this much off the edge? I've avoided bringing up those kinds of topics since I've been so focused on not dying while working with Yukiteru and Yuno. If we met before all of this craziness… I wonder what could've happened.

    Well, no point in thinking about it now. Not like I'll ever get that chance.

    If I have to guess... She takes our phone, crashes it against the wall killing us on the spot.

    Especially since it is pretty obvious that this Yuno is not the original one from this world.

    • Best thing to do for me is to just lay low. Drawing any undue attention to myself is a recipe for disaster. I may be forced to act at some point, but I don't know when or even how. If I'm going to use my diary, I need to be at the apartment just to make sure no one is watching.

    Where I'm all alone...

    Nishijima is there, he's nice, but he isn't family.

    I'm empty. I'm trying to fool myself into thinking I'm actually worth anything. What am I doing? I'm hardly eating as it is, I've been drifting by these past few days … but where does that leave me in a week? In a month?

    I clench my chest, trying to grasp the hurt. This gnawing, throbbing pain. It won't leave. I want to cry, but I'm dry. I shed all my tears that day. All that's left is this. A constant reminder that I'm alone.

    Did I die with Mom that day?

    I'm alive, but part of me went with her. A part of me I'll never get back.

    …

    But that's okay. I wince as the sunlight breaks through the passing clouds. The bell rings, but I don't care to move. My worries move away with the gentle breeze. I relax my shoulders and lean back on the stone bench.

    I need to give myself time.

    Time to think. Time to feel.

    Rushing head first into anything doesn't help anyone. Consider your options, weigh them, then make a choice. Take advantage of the opportunities I've been given.

    If I'm a little late after lunch, that's fine. I just want to be by myself. This is the first time in a long while that I've felt at peace.

    The pain is still there, but that's natural. It won't be leaving anytime soon. It's what I do with this pain, with this feeling, that matters.

    "Amatani."

    "Huh?" I blink. That's Yuno's voice.

    "The teacher sent me to come get you."

    I check my phone. Yeah, it's eight minutes after lunch ended. I did lose track of time. "I'm coming."
    ____________________________________

    4/19, Tuesday -- 4:35 PM, Sakurami City, Nishijima's Apartment

    Nothing else happened at school. At some point, the future changed, and Yuno never ended up giving me that look. If the future is that malleable for a diary holder, then when this 'survival game' starts, I expect my diary to go erratic. When that time comes, will I really be able to count myself out? Will I be able to stay away?

    I thought about that on the way back to the apartment. It's consuming my thoughts to the point where even Nishijima is giving me weird looks. On the bright side, I did eat my first big meal in a while. Afterward, the migraines stopped bothering me and I was feeling a lot better.

    "How did work go?" I ask him as a courtesy, considering he's even home this early.

    "Slow," Nishijima says, sighing, taking a seat across from the table.

    Nishijima's kitchen is actually pretty sizable for an apartment this small. Even has all of the niceties you'd expect. I'm still used to my own house. It was two-stories, it wasn't much, but it was still home to me. This apartment was going to take a lot of getting used to, even now.

    "Slow? What did you do?"

    "Mostly questioning." Nishijima leans back in his chair.

    "Questioning who?"

    He goes quiet.

    "Nishijima?"

    "You can call me Masumi, you know."

    "A-ah, okay, Masumi."

    Nishijima shakes his head, "It relates to your mother."

    "It does? Wait, did you find a lead?"

    "Not yet."

    "I see."

    "Oh, I did get a phone call for you."

    "A phone call?" I'm confused. Who would be calling for me? "What about?"

    "A therapist."

    "Oh."

    "It's for an evaluation since…" Nishijima leans over the table.

    "Mom died." I rest my head on the table. "They want to see if I'm crazy, right?"

    "No, it's nothing like that." He was playing coy, but I knew why. "I have his number. Could you at least give him a call back? You don't have to go if you don't want to, it's just… I think it would be good for you, Vera."

    [_] "I'll give him a call."
    [_] "I don't need to see a doctor."
    [_] "I'm more interested in hearing about the case."
