Episode 17 Story

Morihito, Kanshi, Keigo, and Miharu wake up in an unfamiliar location, wearing strange masks. Apparently kidnapped in their sleep, they find themselves trapped in a mysterious room. Suddenly, a monitor in the room flickers to life, and a distorted voice declares, “My name is Zigzag. Let’s play a game.”

The bizarre masks, the unnerving voice changer, and the sinister instructions from beyond the screen—all signs point to a dangerous “death game” underway. The four must play along to survive.

Meanwhile, Nico... has been taken hostage.
