[Somebody definitely looks more shook up than usual; and those bandages looked a little much for someone that was supposed to be in a fake fight.]

O-- OK. I can get-- demon kidnapping, that's a-- job hazard. I guess. I-I can understand that!

B-But how come I'm the only one that ends up in an actual death match?! Y-You guys said not to worry, but I thought I was gonna d-die--!! Who the hell let--?!

[OK. Deep breaths Daichi, deep breaths.]

I-- Look, just-- stay away from that Sam guy! H-He's one of us, timid-looking guy, brown hair-- he's completely faking it! C-C-Completely! He's like some kind of monster!! I've never seen anything like it before! He wasn't faking anything, he was trying to kill me-- I-I think he seriously almost did!

Just-- stay away from him?! Alright?!

[Oh, look, it's Shijima freaking out. Miyako have no intention of reassuring him, only to gather as much information as she can from him. She wouldn't get the full picture, but she can speculate and infer information from his words.

No matter how scattered they are.

Let's see, checking the replies first before she respond.]

Shijima, calm down.

[He's-- started to calm down at least, but he was still twitchy as hell. Though when he responded, he was at least more pitiable sounding than hysterical. Which, may or may not be a good thing depending on your point of view.]

W-Why does everyone keep telling me that...

[It's not a good thing. Do you really need to ask about that.]

Because it's easier to spread and understand your information if you're as calm as possible.

[Hey, can't fault anyone for trying.]

I-I know, but I'm not some nerves of steel soldier like the rest of you, OK?! I don't know what exactly happened, I can't even remember it that well anymore without feeling like I'm having a heart attack--!!

[Just rank up her Social Link and maybe she will think a little better.

Maybe.]

Then can you at least tell me what you can still remember?

[If it isn't because of the potential danger, Miyako would have less patience.]

[he doesn't wanna do boyfriend survivor damnit]

Like, from the beginning? I-I can't really tell you how we even got there... we all just kinda woke up in some kind of cage place, dress up like we were going to some fraternity toga party.

[you started it, you finish it dammit]

It's likely they drugged or cast a spell on you without your notice.

[And frankly, Miyako can see how he wouldn't notice it.]

And then you found yourself matched up against this "Sam"?

[HE DIDN'T START ANYTHING]

[Logically a drug of some sort would occur to someone, but it never occurred to Daichi, and the thought made him sweat a bit.]

Yeah, that's right... I don't know if there was any reason to it or if it was just random-- I think they just wanted to watch us kick each others' asses. I talked to him before the match, and he seemed fine then...

[ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT.]

From what they told us about the fighting ring, a Visitor's strength would be of interest to them.

[Plus, there's that loophole where they can kidnap Visitors. As far as the rule's concerned, they don't count as natives.]

If he seemed "fine", then something must have provoked him to try and kill you.

[What, exactly, provoked Sam?

...Did you do something, Shijima?]

[YES HE IS DAMNIT]

That's stupid!

[...Not the most intelligent reply, but could you blame him?]

I guess-- he doesn't like fire, but he never told me anything about that! I tried to t-talk to him to tell him I didn't mean it, but he wouldn't listen...!

[UH HUH...

Miyako will leave his unintelligent reply alone to focus on his other answer.]

If he's a monster as you said, then fire would be his main weakness and possibly the best way to kill him.

[Judging from his reactions as Daichi said, and based on what she knows about supernatural creatures.]

But I stopped when he started freaking out! At first, at least... I was trying to talk to him to tell him it was fine, but he wouldn't listen!

After that I had no choice but to use fire if I wanted to stay alive! I-I don't even know how I'm still alive!!
