Chapter Fifty-One
[ What is this? It's some joke in bad taste, right?
Keiichi was dumbfounded at the sight of the letter, but that more due to hopeful denial than misunderstanding. This was a joke! No, a dream; he had nightmares all the time! But...those were rarely, if ever, about Mayfield.
...It was another game. Another Punishment Game, just by this place's rules. The stakes were much higher; if they had threatened him, sure, it wouldn't take more than a second for him to decide, but a picture of that girl, of all people? She probably would be the only person he would sacrifice others for, but...He always did his best when put into a corner. When the stakes were too high and the odds against him was when he was at his best. So. He would call their bluff this round.
Besides. He already played a game like this over a year ago. ]

OI!
I should ask if anyone else got any weird letters in the mail, but I don't feel like wasting my breath. This is no different than what they tried a year ago, trying to pin people for murders they didn't commit. 'Monsters'; I think that word got tossed around plenty back then.
... ... ...Do I have to say it? Look from their point-of-view, why they'd start a game like this: they're trying to get us to turn on one-another; they're trying to turn us into monsters again. Monsters are easier to control than people working together.
Get it?! Ignore the letters! Even a kid should be able to realize that.
