	[color=f49ac2]"Play...dead..?"[/color] Sakura raised her eyebrows.[color=f49ac2] "I guess that could work. It'd get you down. Just be careful, okay? Don't do anything-"[/color] The girl coughed. [color=f49ac2]"-stupid."[/color] She said. Bella went limp, putting on the act. Reducing her breath intake, Sakura tried to gather her acting skills. The thought of Bella actually being dead was too terrible to consider, so Sakura would try to channel her emotion in a vague way. To be honest, she really did want to just yell and scream, like Bella wanted. But that was merely one facet of her desire to be big again and destroy every single one of these loathesome cannibals. 

	Rika, however, started to panic. Her terrible fake crying made Sakura chuckle, despite their grim circumstances. [color=f49ac2]"Wah wah wah, yeah, it's like-"[/color] Sakura began. [color=f49ac2]"Except- hey. [i]Oi, Rika-chan.[/i]"[/color] But Rika was really starting to freak out and cry, which made Sakura's heart hurt. At least it was convincing..? Oh, poor Rika! She wanted comfort her friend, but that would be counter productive. 

	Thinking hard, Sakura started to concentrate. She coughed, to clear her lungs and mouth as best as she could. [color=f49ac2]"[i]Huhhh...uuhhhh[/i]HEY. H-HEEEYYY! YOU! Look what you did to my friend! It's all your fault!" [/color] Sakura shouted. [color=f49ac2]"She's not moving anymore!"[/color] She continued. That wasn't a lie. It came out as loudly and as earnestly as she could manage. All she needed was Larry's attention for the plan to work. Tears were still streaming down Sakura's face, so, that would lend credence to her peformance. But now, all Sakura could think about was the plan. Her heart rate escalated with anxiety and excitement. She couldn't be sad or angry on command! Even if she [i]was[/i] sad or angry! Why did she have to be raised in such an honest and open household?! She had no practice at all! 

	As soon as that was done, she peered at Rika.[color=f49ac2] "It's okay, Rika-chan, it's okay."[/color] Sakura comforted. [color=f49ac2]"You're v-very brave."[/color] Sakura bit her lower lip to stop herself from going further. She couldn't say anything about how it was going to be okay, or how they were going to get out of here. Lest she accidentally tip Larry off, or put him on alert to their friends actions. Hopefully Mimi could hide in time.

	When Sakura heard a very large noise and disturbance coming from somewhere, she wondered if their plan was even going to be relevant compared to whatever genius escape plan her friends had cooked up. Pun not intended.
