I...suppose I have to claim responsibility for this event.

I know there are those here who would rather not fight. Or who can not. I may be able to help you, if you contact me.

[masukukunai]

Wait. So this collar thing is your fault?

[notursalvation]

...It is based on my memories. It was not my choice to give them to everyone.

[masukukunai]

What does that even mean?

[Please excuse him, he's new.]

[notursalvation]

It means that this event is based on my memories.

[A pause. Think think think. He does not recognize this bro's voice.]

Do you...know what an event is?

[masukukunai]

I've heard the word, but that's it.

[notursalvation]

...What a way to be introduced to the concept.

An event is when the mansion changes--or changes us--based on the memories of one of the residents.

[masukukunai]

...Okay. I think I can believe that. This place is weird enough.

So this thing is part of your memories?

[notursalvation]

Yes. Everyone in the prison where I was incarcerated wears one.

[masukukunai]

...Seriously? You were in prison? Should I be worried?

[notursalvation]

No. I don't make it a habit of assaulting people who aren't threatening me.

[masukukunai]

I guess I don't have any choice but to believe you.

So what are they for?

[notursalvation]

They carry out the death sentence for those who can't contribute and earn candy.

[masukukunai]

What kind of prison are you from?

Whatever. So how do I get this candy? Or can I just bust this thing off of me?

[notursalvation]

The collar can't be removed. [Trust him, he's tried.] According to this rule book, you have to win a fight to get the candy.

[masukukunai]

Do you mean kill? Because I'm not doing that. No way!

[notursalvation]

No. You don't have to kill to win.
