    Summary

    “You really think out of the two of us, Arisu, that I should be the one to survive?”

    Ryohei could only nod silently, eyes still caught on Chota’s dead body in front of him, the red pooling across the floor.

    “—No, Arisu. Look at me, at Chota. Shibuki. These games…they made monsters out of us, animals…But you…I’ve seen you the past few games. I saw something in your eyes…the same thing I could feel watching me whenever we walk into a game. Something twisted. Hungry. It’s why I turned on you so quickly, Arisu. I’m sorry.”

    “Karube—”

    “—but that something could be the key to finally taking those psychopaths down.”

    Ryohei stared at his friend, at his bitter smile.

    “Beat them at their own game, Arisu. Show them who the real monster is.”

    Or Arisu Ryohei, much like his namesake, found himself lost in a world so much more different and darker than his own. Unlike little Alice, however, he doesn’t think he’ll be escaping this hell.

    Not without losing himself along the way.
