Chapter 2: ch. 2 - What's The Most Important Thing To You?
As I stood there, I was talking with an old man. He was wearing an all black outfit, with a black top hat. He has his hands in his pocket.
As younger me counted my money, the old man finally spoke. His voice was soft and menacing.
"Kōgōshī what's the most important thing to you? Or should I say in this world."
The old man chuckled, and I finally spoke. Looking at the money with emotionless eyes, and a small evil grin. I spoke.
"Money of course."
The old man chuckled, as we walked in the park. He sat on the bench.
"Atta' boy. That's the right mindset!"
I kept counting my money, taking occasional glances at the old man. And I smiled.

As I sat in the hospital seat, I looked at a woman. Her light brown hair glimmering in the sun, but I counted my money. Which was way more than before.
The woman reached her hand out towards me, caressing my face.
"Are you still counting your money?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Do you want to know the most important thing in this world?"
I was confused, as she said that. But I decided to take the bait.
"Money, right?"
The woman laughed, as she coughed. She closed her eyes and smiled, it was more innocent than I could ever be.
"It's friends."
"I don't see the reason, you don't earn any money. Or get any benefits from it... It's useless."
That's what I said, what's the usefulness in it? That's what I was wondering. As you can see, I was driven by greed. But the woman laughed again.
"You'll see, just promise you'll have friends for me. Okay?"
"...fine..."

As I looked, I looked towards my left. Ōkī nodded her head, and I thought of something. I started biting my nail.
I had to think, what's the word. And how should I tell them the letters? As I was thinking, I had a great idea.
"This is foolproof."
I looked at Sara, Misuterī, and Ōkī. Then I made the letter 'F' with my hands, and they all nodded. Understanding the assignment.
As they hid their paper, they wrote down the letter F. As Teru Teru came out, he held a box. And we all looked confused.
His mask smiled evily.
"Put your decision in!"
As I looked I realized and put my letter in. Obviously we all chose the letter F so this should be good, and i atleast think the answer is Friend.
As the others out their letters in, Teru Teru shook the box. And he smiled. While he reached his hand inside, I held my breath.
As he pulled out the Letter, he opened it and laughed manically.
"Interesting! The letter was A!"
I looked surprised, what?! How. Why is it the letter A, everyone else looked confused. But Sara was the most distraught. But then Teru Teru reached in oncemore.
Taking out the Letter, he opened it. And he laughs.
"The letter is F! Which is also the other 3 options!"
Wait, that doesn't add up. The only options are me, Misuterī, Ōkī and Sara. It doesn't make sense, why was there 5 letters?
Can someone put 2 letters? But then, ugh! That doesn't make sense. Why is this so complicated, there can't possibly be a traitor in our group.
I won't accept It. Okay, I need to assess everything. Me, Misuterī, Ōkī and Sara are the players. And Shinba is the Hangman, so that instantly removes Shinba. Now it's against Misuterī, Ōkī and Sara.
Misuterī side eyed me, and whispered to me.
"You understand too?"
I whispered back.
"Yeah."
"Mhm, it doesn't add up. There's definitely someone that made 2 letters, or Teru Teru added it himself."
"That's definitely a possibility, but he's also a psychological manipulative bastard. So it's most likely he's not the perpetrator."
"Yeah, I agree."
Misuterī looked serious and confused, why is this happening. But then I remembered a rule. You have to unanimously agree on the letter, if not the noose gets tighter. As my eyes darted towards Shinba.
The noise stayed the exact same, it didn't tighten. And I exhaled. Such a petty game master, as I glared at Teru Teru. I breathed in.
"Don't worry guys, he was just playing a trick. Shinba's noose didn't get tighter."
The others exhaled. Sara started to think, she's sure that even though it didn't happen there is still most likely. A traitor among us.
Sara doesn't want to disclose this info, so she's going to stay quiet for now. Let's see how this goes. Because she didn't tell anyone...
As I looked at Shinba, his noose got loosened. Ōkī looked happy and relieved, as I hugged Ōkī. Sara flared holes into me, so I let her go.
Raising my hands in defense.
"Ok, ok. Jeez."
"So we have 5 more letters left."
Everyone else nodded there head, but then Sara starting to think a little.
*The next letter is definitely R, but I don't think someone will agree. No doubt that someone inniur group hates Shinba, but who. Who is it?*
That's what Sara thought to herself, until Misuterī snapped her out of her own trance. He cleared his throat.
"Nows not the time to be doubting one another. This is for Shinba's life, and no one here is immoral enough to kill Shinba... right?"
Misuterī said that, but he took a few glances at everyone while he did. I noticed he particularly glanced at Sara, at a max of 20 times. While he only glanced at me and the others a total of 17 times.
I decided to ignore it, this may not be important for now. All we need to do is make a decision for a letter, and I'm sure everyone knows it's R. But can't be too sure.
So I made the letter R with both my hands, Ōkī nodded her head in agreement. Misuterī pushed his glasses up, to fix them. Sara smiled as she wrote the letter.
Teru Teru collected the letters, and that's when it happened.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
yaboinethertank
yaboinethertank did you know the "*" actually means thoughts for characters, but that's only if you're not at Kōgōshī's perspective.
also fun fact this is how Teru Teru looks!
he has a hat(Red) on his mask, this mask is like that of a regular Teru Teru doll. with a rope around the neck, but they have legs and arms. wearing usually a long string around his legs and hands.
the mask is large and circular, with completely white eyes and a straight smile(which as you know can change).
