Alternative FTE Prompts (For a More Gutsy Shuichi) pt II:

The original doesn’t offer anything super useful, so instead, I picked up on the whole ‘protect my organisation’ commentary that Ouma made. It may be evident to Shuichi at this point that Ouma is keeping him at an arm’s length, for one reason or other. So this would ideally prompt as to why.

Very similar to the first, but with more of Shuichi’s skepticism on the killing angle. Shuichi is a bit presumptuous here of course, but it’s more evident he’s trying to follow what’s going on honestly, all the same. He might ask ‘what kind of game’ during this particular option.

Asking if it was ‘just a joke’ again was unnecessarily redundant, so I had Shuichi assert his unwillingness to mess around instead. This one takes from the ‘can we talk seriously for once’ because he’s getting exasperated with second-guessing Ouma’s motives, not really keeping up with him.

Shuichi wants to know what the games will accomplish - besides prolonging his own life - even though he doesn’t honestly believe that it will threaten it. So these prompts might help him establish what it is he should take seriously.
