Kaiji's fitful night ends with familiarity - the morning alarm! Like clockwork, his body moves towards his door from memory of this routine!
"No, wait."
He stops.
"That announcement was a little strange, but basically, this means that this island is Teiai's labor facility. But, my debt should already be paid, so... this is..."
He cannot comprehend! His mind races with possibilities!
"Don't tell me that bastard Furuhata had more debts? No... there's no way they wouldn't have brought this up sooner. After all that, they'd want to take me down by any means necessary. If that's the case, then... wait, no way!"
A spark of realization!
"Shit. What am I, an idiot? They don't need a reason to take me. Of course they never had to play by their rules! They're planning to trap me here!"
Kaiji despairs! His hard-earned freedom was just a fleeting illusion. Now, the hard reality has set upon him, and is devouring him whole!
"Idiot, what good will pondering over it do!? To start with, they know I'm here, so there's no point in hiding myself."
"Alright."
Kaiji opens the door, exiting his room.
"Still, why would they allow me to find this key?"
After locking it behind him, he leaves, and soon comes across company. However!
"Huh? What's with these guys?"
Their looks, young! Their clothes, strange! Kaiji cannot see how these inhabitants of the island could be Teiai's debted slaves.
"Hey, you guys. You work here, right...?"
