Shogo, Shuya, and Noriko believe that Hiroki is sending them the signal to show that he's alive, when he's really dead. They are leading Kazuo to find them by repeating the signal. Also, Shogo is revealing the escape plan to Shuya and Noriko.

Does Shogo, Shuya, and Noriko realize that Hiroki's dead? How long will it take for them to figure out that the person that is tricking them is really Kazuo? How did Kazuo find out the plan between the four of them in the first place? Doesn't Shogo realize that the collars are equipped with mics if he's done this before? Does Shogo know about the mics, or is he really trying to trick Shuya and Noriko?

Shuya and Noriko end up escaping the island together, but without Shogo. But they are in a constant struggle to stay alive and out of the public eye.

The pattern that I notice is that Shuya and Noriko are always on the run from someone. This happened throughout the story where they were constantly trying to escape from their fellow classmates. Now, they are struggling to keep away from the police workers that are searching for them daily. I predict that in the future, they will never be able to be kept alone by the media and the government, unless they are killed. But, they will always be on the run.
