[if that kind of stuff was normal for heiji, maybe he's the son of a super famous politician or something? or maybe he's a prince! simon thinks that'd be pretty rad.]

Well... maybe the fact that you're used to dangerous situations is why you and Jake were brought here in the first place. Maybe Zero and Calhoun wanted a couple of test subjects who they knew would be able to handle everything they threw at them... I mean, it's easy to forget sometimes, but this is basically just one big experiment, right? So...

It's possible they brought you and Jake were brought in here to win this game, or something. You might be the only ones in this group capable of making it out alive.
