In And Out Of Script

The prequel to KGB that can be read as a standalone, and a chapter 1 canon divergence featuring Rantaro, Kaede and Tsumugi. Their bonds run deeper than survivor, protagonist and mastermind... in another killing game that took place only in forgotten memory forced from people wanting to cover up and fix mistakes.

What if Rantaro turned his back on the shotput ball, to see Tsumugi's attempted murder and got hit on the head by a bookcase through graceless dodging?

What if Tsumugi missed Rantaro by inches and missed the chance, and missed the timing to get another hit, only to wrestle away the pad from Rantaro and play candidate?

What if Kaede went in first and foremost with the others to be met with an injured Rantaro who only uttered one, triggering word... a dead name, part of a forgotten memory:

"******"

What if the forgotten memory was suddenly remembered and what would that mean for the course of the killing game?
