SPIRAL-ONLY ONE WISE ACTION-EPISODE 10-3 STARS

Okay, so now we know that Hiyono won’t make it back to Shumari station until after 2:30, so Ayumu might get his head blown off, or will he not? He knows that Ryo has a switch in her possession that can detonate the bomb around his neck, so he decides to create a situation where Ryo will have to disarm it, or she’ll die too.

So while Ayumu is conjuring up a brilliant scheme, he’s also going after the tape he mailed to himself, and is now sitting in his apartment mailbox. Only thing is, Kosuke gets there first. He picks the lock, and all these dummy tapes fall out. Ayumu trails in afterwards, gets the correct one, and splits on Kosuke’s bike. And he didn’t see that comin’?

“Good job Ayumu.” He’s got the tape, but now he needs to convince Ryo to detonate the bomb around his neck. So he calls her on the phone, and they meet in some isolated place near Shumari Station.

There’s a can of kerosene nearby. Yes, Ayumu planted it there, but I wonder when he found the time to mess around with that stuff. If Ryo decides to be a jerk and not remove the bomb around Ayumu’s neck, then he’ll use the Kerosene to blow himself up, the tape, and take Ryo along too.

Only thing is, Ryo is one step ahead of Ayumu, and replaces the kerosene with water before he gets there. But Ayumu is a kid that can bluff his way out of anything, so he makes up some crap about the real tape still being in his mailbox, and Hiyono has been sent there to retrieve it.

In other words, she won’t be stopping at Shumari Station. This is important since Kosuke will be waiting there with open arms, probably to kill her. Okay, not it’s getting closer to 2:30, so somebody better do something quick! Ayumu bluffs one more time by giving Ryo his watch so she can countdown the final minutes to his demise. Only thing is, his watch is set 2 minutes fast, so Ryo wigs out when 2:30 hits, and he’s still alive.

Ryo lowers her head in defeat, until she realizes that she’s been fooled…..again. So she throws the detonating switch into the water, “Bye Ayumu, it’s been nice knowing you!” But then again, maybe not. The express train passes, and Hiyono throws Ayumu the key and he takes the bomb off. Wait, since when are you able to hang all out of a moving train like that?

Ayumu wins the game. I still think he was stupid for playing in the first place, but if he didn’t, I’d be bored, and skip to the next episode.
