[Listen. He's old.]

Oh. Right. That.

[...]

You know, this whole 'Battle Royale' type thing wasn't my idea. Even if I'd like to take credit for it.

[scythegun]

Really? It seems a bit of an odd thing to just do for fun, ja?

[heroantagonist]

Boy, doesn't it?

I mean, I'm not crazy. I wouldn't do this just for the hell of it. It's kinda amusing, sure, but if I did this for nothing, then I'd just be crazy.

[scythegun]

Oh, certainly! It does seem like it's something that's quite important to you... Why is that? If you don't mind me asking, of course.

[heroantagonist]

Boy, wouldn't you like to know?

I mean, I kinda want to tell you. You all just keep asking, but... Nah. I'm gonna hold off. At least for a little bit longer.

[scythegun]

You do have to have some secrets for the finale, ja? That's understandable.

And speaking of the finale... How exactly will all of this end? Assuming that we manage to keep catching the killers and we end up with a very small group left.

[Survivor pool of three people, let's go!!!!]

[heroantagonist]

Oh, of course! What, you think I'd go into this with just the one plan in mine?

[He laughs shortly, overconfidently.]

Well... I suppose I could just hunt down the remaining folk across the ship. Or maybe by then there'll be someone around that'll actually fix those flamethrowers.

I dunno. I'll have to get back to you on that.

[scythegun]

Ah, I see! Though I am wondering... is it personal? Why you want all of us dead? Or were we just the unfortunate ones to be dragged here?

[heroantagonist]

Personal? Oh! No, no, no, no. It's nothing personal, trust me. If it was personally, I'd have totally killed all of you way back in the first week.

No, you were all kinda picked at random. Helluva process, believe me.

[scythegun]

[Well, that's good to know, at least...]

Oh, I figured as much! You don't seem like the sort of man to allow those who have wronged you to live for long! Did your company come up with a way to bring us here? It is quite impressive to pull people from other worlds, I'm still stunned such a thing is possible!

[heroantagonist]

Hey, you're impressed? I'm impressed! Just think of the merchandising opportunities! Think of all the things you could steal!
