Natsumi, Ryota, Kaito, and Sakura huddled together in a dimly lit room, the tension palpable as they discussed their dire situation. Akira's relentless pursuit of them had escalated, and they knew they had to act fast.
Natsumi, with her strategic mindset, suggested they set a trap. "We can lure her into the old warehouse by the river. It's isolated, and we can use the environment to our advantage."
Ryota, always the skeptic, voiced his concerns. "What if she anticipates our move? We need a backup plan."
Kaito, the tech whiz, chimed in. "I can rig the warehouse with some security cameras and distractions. We can monitor her approach and have an escape route ready."
Sakura, determined yet frightened, added, "And we need to confront her together. If we split up, we're making it easier for her to pick us off one by one."
As they plotted their plan, they discussed their individual strengths. Natsumi would act as the bait, drawing Akira in, while Ryota and Kaito would hide and spring into action at the right moment. Sakura would keep watch, ready to alert them of any changes.
They finalized their strategy, understanding that the stakes were high. With a mixture of fear and determination, they prepared themselves for the confrontation, knowing that this was their only chance to stop Akira before it was too late.
