WEEK 0 — ARRIVAL
Week 0: Arrival
When you wake up you immediately feel something’s off. You sit on the bed and find it’s not your bed, and this isn’t your room either. You seem to be in a rather normal-looking motel room. To your side there’s a trunk, if you open it you’ll find a military uniform, the key to your room, a set of rules and a debit card. Don’t lose those items! Or do lose the rules, you'll find a brand new copy the next day under your pillow. There’s also a calendar on the wall, you can see today’s date. The year is unreadable, but the month and day are very clear:
March 28th
There it says ‘Meet the Sergeant at the Lodge, 9:00 AM’. There’s also a circle around March 31st, with the word ‘END’ scrawled there.
For now leaving your motel room would be a good choice. When you reach the lobby, you see the receptionist’s desk— no one’s manning it. There’s a rack filled with maps, marking several locations in the town.
There are also many strangers here – and you’re one more. For now it may be a good idea to take a map and explore the town.
After all, looks like you’re stuck here in the boonies for a while.

But why?! Even if one is less than twenty two-- why does it have to be death? Why do we have to show our worth to being alive to begin with? That doesn't make any sense!
no subject
It doesn't have to make sense. All you need to care about is about doing it.
[He punctuates the last two words with a stomp of his foot. Why can't people just do what he says instead of questioning it? It's frustrating]

[She wants to reason with him, but she bites down on her lower lip, shaking her head.]
I won't do it. Even if you asked me to. [She won't kill. And she doesn't want to die, either. But if someone had to sacrifice their life for the sake of the whole, she can't promise that she wouldn't do that.] You brought us here, right? Were you the one who took away my belongings, too?
[That's important to her. It honestly really is.]
no subject
If you want to get technical, young one, I didn't take your belongings. But I do have them right now, if you must know.
no subject
[Sakura's quiet for a while, but it's nice confirmation that someone has it. But he didn't take them? That means someone with more power than she does - and Sakura has surprisingly a lot of that - does.]
Why did they take it? [She's got to know.] It's not like they could use it...
