Kishi’s novella, in the same vein as Hunger Games or Battle Royale, tightens up both the participant and kill-count such that a smaller pool of contestants makes for a more in-depth assessment of how personality defines outcomes in ‘the game.’ Rationalizing that each player’s initial choice in the zero sum game determines the outcome via North-East-South-West dynamics, the narrator’s survival largely depends on the support of a mystery woman who might be both the narrator’s lover or femme fatale.
