Unanswered Questions

Yumiko and Yukiko make an announcement from the top of a mountain to tell the students of the game to stop fighting and to discuss ways to possibly come together. But this results in their death as Kazuo shoots them.

"It was a mountain peak. There were two figures standing under its roof," (Takami 151).
"They're risking their lives doing this... Besides, you just said they were endangering themselves," (Takami 152).

If it really was as dangerous as Shuya said, then why did Yumiko and Yukiko endanger themselves to make them easy targets? Did they trust their classmates enough to assume that no one would shoot them?  What was the purpose of doing this if the government can hear what they say through their metal collars?

Multiple Perspectives

As the game continues on, Noriko's leg injury takes its toll on her. She gets weaker and the Shuya and Shogo have to try and rush her to safety.

"I'm so sorry...Shuya..." (Takami 236).

Noriko felt bad that she had to cause so much trouble about her injury. She didn't want them to feel like they had to rush her to the hospital. She believed that she was causing trouble by having people fuss over her. When really, the boys didn't mind at all.
