4 and Shin? That's a dark one, but you write him well so I'd trust you with it. If you want something lighter instead, 17 for Shin!

Thank you for asking this! As you can see, I got into a very deep ramble about his life pre-death game and it doesn’t really tie in but I’ve kept it there :) The last few parapraghs are the actual answers ahaha. Play some sad music in those paragrapths because I nearly cried with halloween music in the background. 4) What they would do if they had one month to live. If Shin had one month left to live? We see it in the game kind of. Or at least kind of. Obviously imitating your ‘scary friend’ most likely abuser to try and turn everyone against your biggest threat isn’t going to work in real life.

What the game and his 0.0% score does tell us (or heavily shove in our direction so we infer it) is that Shin is petrified of certain death to the point of desperation.

I do believe/headcanon that he is a very logical person. Almost everything he does is backed up by logic in the death game except for his last moments because screw logic that’s never worked before. (The opposite of Keiji who’s likely very emotional until his potential last moments but this isn’t about him). So the question is, when did Shin’s last moments begin for him? As the player, it’s when it’s that final choice between him and Kanna. To Shin this is likely a very different response. His last moments start the very second he gets told he’s doomed to die. Almost all of Shin’s choices in the game are emotional. Trusting Sara or at least earning her trust is the logical choice here. Making yourself her enemy because you are scared is the emotional one. He just lies to himself on the basis that she’s untrustworthy. Which, you can trick yourself into believing is logical. It triggers a kind of flight or fight response in all our characters when they realise they can die here. All the cast barr Shin choose to fight and try and escape. Shin chooses the flight option here. Nothing he does actually prevents his death in the end. He just runs away from the inevitable doom.

I am once again inferring by comparing him to rest of the cast the death is a deep rooted trauma (and I definitely have thoughts on why). While the concept of death is one that scares everyone, no one seems to revel in it the way Shin does. He is living an incredibly safe life. A free lance programmer (by the sounds of it) which earns an average of £60 an hour. He has a side job at a convenience store (that wasn’t a lie). He doesn’t leave his apartment much meaning he doesn’t have much of a social life. Shin is in a position in life where it’ll be near impossible to hurt him. Obviously he isn’t earning 60 quid an hour, but he has the potential too. Once he’s set up and successful, he’ll be able to die old. Alone, maybe not happy, but old. For a guy likely in his early to mid twenties, things are bound to change but only as much as he lets them. From one person who will happily spend all their life in their own company to another, Shin isn’t going to change that. Not when he’s too scared to let someone past arms width and will avoid doing so. By the time he gets his game together and his skinny self to therapy it’ll likely be too late to make the same connections he has the chance too at his current age. It’s not emotional because even the most introverted of introverts desires a life all alone. It’s a logical one for the fears and life he has. I don’t think that means he isn’t happy. It just thinks there’s a potential that he could have been happier.

For Midori to have gotten as close as he was and no one to pull up the red flags his friends either didn’t care or didn’t exist. Most likely the latter seeing as he is very much in the process of mourning three years after his friends death. He likely wasn’t close enough to his parents to feel he could go to them over something as silly as Midori’s death. In the aftermath, Shin will be confused and muddled. In some ways, he’ll be elevated because he is free, he can move on. In other ways he’ll be lost, devastated and empty. Shin will also have a semblance of independence back. He doesn’t think he shows enough gratitude to his parents for materialistic items. Midori’s abuse was likely emotional or verbal. It probably consisted of vague threats, put downs, anger, power dynamics and a shrug at Shin’s emotions. I’m in no way a professional but after years of this Shin is going to think his emotions are something he should be able to handle himself, something he might not be able to do if he started to repress them in his teens. Shin likely has a warped sense of independence. Instead of being free from others control, he’ll likely think it means he can’t get help and must deal with everything alone.

Being told that his death is round the corner strips two things that he values most away from him. He now has zero control over his life and worse, it ends with him dyeing. Shin would grasp for straws to have that independence back and therefore escape his own death. If he couldn’t get his independence back then he’ll try and avoid the end outcome.

His last month would be a goose chase to avoid death. There’d be a list of everything he has to do. Fuck his jobs, fuck debt he needs to get to the hospital. Get checked up! Make sure he’s well. He’d do it everyday. Does he have enough medicine? Wet wipes, stock up on healthy food, hand sanitizer? Does he have enough hand sanitizer? Make sure his room is squeaky clean, don’t let anyone in, don’t answer the phone. Bolt the windows and live off ramen and debt for the rest of the month. Beanie on, beanie off, what is he going to die from? Has he prevented any possible cause? He’s forgotten to call his parents. That’s fine because he shouldn’t be dyeing anyway. It’s logical. It’s all logical. This is not his fear of death speaking through everything he is doing is logical! Now he just needs to figure out what’s causing this all? How did that person know? Then on the last day. He’d just give up. He’d finally pick up that phone and call his parents. He’d thank them and explain. He’d apologize for the debt because he’s swimming in it then he’d hang up. Shin would then proceed to cry in bed all day and trying to sleep so he just doesn’t wake up. Then, while it’s a tragedy, I think he’d accept it. I don’t think he ever really thought he had a chance but his emotions drove him round and round in circles. Maybe he would regret his whole life and look back on it all. In a none death game scenario Shin seems like a brooder. He doesn’t have Kanna to live for so he has no reason to push forward. I think in the end he’d reach the conclusion his life was pretty pointless. Just as he’d slip from consciousness I imagine he’d think of Midori. Nearly everything we know about Shin seems to revolves about Midori . We, the player, never know him before the guy entered his life. That guy has a big impacts in his life and in a world where that was the only person to leave such a big mark? I think he’d go back to Midori. Especially with nothing to distract him from his mourning.

It’s quite sad really. He lets his fear control him too much. Midori controls him too much and they’re both aware of that fact. But in the short, Shin would try and avoid his death. Hell he’ll likely die of exhaustion or caffeine overdose

His ending in the main game, I think that’s the best way Shin could have gone at that age. Dying for Kanna and letting go of his cynicism.

Ending this off with 17 because I need that jokeness now, after all that.

17) What would they sing at Karaoke?

Everyone expects Shin to like bang out with some Beyonce or something. Maybe one of those silly little disney parodies. Everyone would make a joke about what he should sing because he’s indecisive as hell.

Keiji Kai and all of those mature adults suggest Single Ladies, Mr. Brightside, Fireworks, Wannabe because classic Karoke songs you actually have to be able to sing when Shin 100% can’t? Count them in!

Midori would suggest something embarrassing he knew wouldn’t even be funny to watch. Just painful.

Gin, Sara, Reko and Alice are snickering behind their hands as they suggest Poor Unfourtunate Souls, How Bad Can I Be (Alice ended up doing that one), The oogie boogie song and the price Ali reprise.

When he refuses Sara refuses to let him get away with not being painted as some corny villian and dedicates her singing of Cruella De Vil to him.

Then Kanna taps on his shoulder and tells him what to sing and A: It’s Kanna’s suggestion B: It’s not and a bonus C if he’s drunk: He gets to whack a certain police officer and teacher with a hockey stick.

And my inner theatre Kid shines through as he I say Shin sings Revolting Children and can’t get his letters write, drunk or sober.

‘R e v o t l i n !’ instead of ‘ R E V O L T I N G’

‘S P L L!’ instead of ‘ S P E L’

‘TOO LATE FOR YOU?’ Instead of ‘ 2-L-8-4-U ‘

I kid you not I have knows this song for years and I still struggle. You can not do that spelling rhythm first time.

Also the lines. The lines! We will become a screaming hoard.//Take out your hockey sticks and use it as a sword.// Never again will we be ignored.//We'll find out where the chalk is stored// And draw rude pictures on the board.

It’s such a childish song but it’s so hard. He struggles and struggles and one day he will get it because it’s so simple and why can’t he do it roght! Also, it suits him. Sue me.

#well this is sad #Press F for Shin #I swear i started rambling #IDK man he gives me hermit vibes #Also like karoke #thanks for the ask!#I told myself this'd be a quick write up because the answer is so simple #This is why Im failing English.#I go in rambles like this #Stan Kanna and what she does for Shin #yttd #meta #shin tsukimi #Sou Hiyori

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

You must not rely on this article for medical advise or use this as an alternative to a licensed physician’s opinion. If you have specific questions about this subject matter, or any other health-related matter, kindly consult a physician.

If you are or think you are suffering from any medical condition, you should consult your doctor immediately.

Notwithstanding the fact that I am a registered nurse by profession, I am not ashamed to admit that there’s still a lot about the COVID-19 disease that I have to know much about. It is to be noted that this emerging infection is not as simple or as common as the influenza or flu virus, and the fact that it belongs to the same family of coronaviruses as the flu virus doesn’t make its understanding any easier.

Nonetheless, I won’t let this roadblock prevent me from sharing in this post more about the COVID-19 disease. In this time and age, we can always find for credible information on the internet, which will enable us to learn more about COVID-19, what’s causing it, and what signs and symptoms to look for. This way, we can use all available information to arm us with knowledge that will protect both ourselves and our loved ones.

What causes COVID-19?

The dreaded COVID-19, formerly known as “2019 novel coronavirus”, is caused by a newly discovered strain of coronavirus recently named as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 or Sars-CoV-2. To date, there had been more than six 663,000 COVID-19 cases all over the world, more or less one hundred 142,000 recoveries, and more than 30,000 COVID-19-related deaths.

Previously, Wuhan, China was considered the “epicenter” of the Sars-CoV-2 infection in which experts had accounted a total of 81,439 COVID-19 cases, with 3,300 total deaths. Now, the United States of America has surpassed this record, with a total of 123,750 cases and 2,227 deaths. Here in the Philippines (from where I’m from), we have a total of 1,075 COVID-19 cases,

(To browse COVID-19-related statistics per country, visit Worldometer.com)

How can one get COVID-19?

Primarily, the Sars-CoV-2 virus, which causes the lethal COVID-19, may be spread through human to human transmission through any of the following means:

Close human to human contact (known as human to human transmission), when persons are less than 2-meter or 6-feet apart from one another.

Droplet transmission, which is thru respiratory droplets from an infection person’s nasal discharges; and/or

Aerosol transmission, which is through aerial droplets that are suspended in the air, particularly in enclosed areas (This new theory, however, is one of the probabilities being carefully examined by our medical experts.)

Notably, as most of those who had contracted COVID-19 in Wuhan, China were reported to have been exposed to their wet animal markets in the area, experts believe that Sars-CoV-2 is actually a zoonotic virus. This means, transmission can also be made from an animal host to human beings.

Signs and symptoms to watch out for

COVID-19 symptoms may appear within 2-14 days from exposure to an infected person or a contaminated surface. Medical experts urge anyone, who may be experiencing the following symptoms, to seek medical attention immediately and in order to be tested for COVID-19:

Fever

Cough

Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing

Other symptoms such as:

Tiredness

Aches

Runny nose

Sore throat

Diarrhea, abdominal pains, and vomiting (may be present in the early stages of COVID-19 infection); and

loss of smell and taste, stomach aches, body aches, and nausea, loss of smell and taste, stomach aches, body aches, and nausea, which were all observed in some COVID-19 patients by specialists

Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend anyone with the following emergency warning signs to seek medical assistance immediately:

Persistent chest pain or pressure;

Newly observed confusion or inability to arouse

Bluish lips or face (also known as cyanosis)

However, given the foregoing, one must likewise remember that not all persons infected with Sars-CoV-2 will present such symptoms. These individuals, who are “asymptomatic” may then be carriers of the virus to their families or communities. Thus, it is but more prudent to #stayathome and employ #socialdistancing to prevent contracting or spreading the Sars-CoV-2 to others.

COVID-19 symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses

COVID-19 signs and symptoms are quite similar to those of other common illnesses and diseases some of us might have experienced, such as common colds, flu, and seasonal/allergic rhinitis. Thus, it is important to somehow know their similarities and differences.

Accordingly, let me share with you WebMD’s, CTV News’, and Healthline’s infographics on this:

CTV News

Healthline

What to do?

Now that we have an idea of how this “unseen” enemy works, we can now take necessary steps to avert the spread of infection. As someone living in a COVID-19-stricken country, let me of impart, through this post, ways which our Department of Health had devised as health protocols during this time of crisis:

#1 Stay at home

The stay-at-home (#stayathome) directive of our government is not an empty order. By staying at home, social distancing is increased, consequently slowing the transmission / infection of Sars-CoV-2. As a result, surge in COVID-19 cases may be prevented; the government and health care system will be saved from having to deal with large numbers of citizens contracting the disease.

As I have mentioned in my previous COVID-19-related post, Philippines’ Luzon island is under the Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) until 14 April 2020. We are not allowed to go out of our homes UNLESS we are going out to buy or fetch our basic necessities. Eventually, what seemed to be an imposed measure among Filipinos had thereafter become an act of willingness on their part. As more COVID-19 cases are being reported everyday, it appears that Filipinos are having greater resolute to end this crisis and flatten the curve of this pandemic.

Nonetheless, if going outside would be unavoidable, make sure to:

a) Bring your own hand sanitizer or alcohol (if any) with you. A

b) Wear your own personal protective equipment (PPE) such as face masks and/or gloves.

c) Avoid touching your face while you’re out and about.

d) Make it a habit to remove your shoes before entering your house, spray it with alcohol (or Lysol), and put it away on a designated area.

e) Wash your hands thoroughly before going inside the house.

f) And finally, take a shower before joining your other family members at home. (In our household, this is the practice that we adhere to since the start of the ECQ period.)

#2 Dispose of any personal protective equipment (such as gloves or mask) or PPE at a separate waste container.

Before having these PPE collected for disposal by your local waste or garbage collectors, make it a point to put them in a sealed bag for 72 hours. After doing this step, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly.

# 3 Do frequent handwashing.

According to the Philippine Department of Health, handwashing should last for 30 seconds. If you can’t keep track of time, it is always helpful to sing the “Happy Birthday Song” while washing your hands because this song’s duration is equivalent to the prescribed 30-second handwashing.

#4 Practice Social Distancing

As we discussed earlier, social distancing minimizes the chance of Sars-CoV-2 transmission, which consequently decreases your chance of contracting (or spreading) COVID-19.

For social distancing to be done effectively, make sure to allow at least a 2-meter (or 6-feet) distance from any person you encounter outdoors. This is the safe distance where you are most unlikely to catch respiratory droplets from others. But still, don’t rely on social distancing alone and make sure to protect yourself further by having your PPE on.

At this juncture, may those under self-quarantine (those separated from others and whose movements are resitricted in order to observe if they will become sick) be reminded to strictly follow quarantine protocols. Thus, if your department or ministry of health tells you not to go out of your home and/or mingle with people (yes, including your family members and loved ones), DO IT. And do it even if you are a politician or government official under quarantine!

You wouldn’t want to be spreading deadly diseases and be the cause of other people’s misery, would you?

#5 Be in the know

Who says fake news can’t kill you? From my experience here in the Philippines, many Filipinos panicked after believing unverified reports about COVID-19 and rumors about the government’s alleged plan of putting the entire Philippines under total lockdown.

At this day and age, we have google and the internet to look for credible sources of information about COVID-19 and our government’s measure to address this problem. zhenDon’t let rumors and trolls take over your life or give you the heart attack!

I will be updating all the information I included in this post, should there be newer developments on COVID-19. Until then, I pray that everyone be safe and well during this time of ourbreak.

xoxo,

Tina
