Heiji nodded. "I see. But you know... bein' friends with someone doesn't mean they're not ever gonna betray you in this game. Plus, it's not like I think he's a bad guy or anything. He helped me shove a robot in the incinerator."

He was silent for a long moment. "...It's possible," he said finally. "Maybe even probable. Like they already brought up, Akiko didn't wake the rest of us up when she wandered off. I don't know if that changes anything in terms of gettin' out of here, cause they could be just as in the dark about why they're here now as they were before. But it might have totally changed the person they were. Either way, they'd be a murderer."
