the roles were simply established by default : ryo would take care of distracting death drive by pretending to be me ; akane was the closest we could get to a gadget person and would operate both the phone that would actually connect to dds when he called and the loop machine wed use to record my lines so i did not have to pick the phone and give away the plan somehow ; megumi would provide assistance to akane but her job was to be the field agent that would make sure i could get unnoticed to the room we already knew he was in thanks to kouma having been through this day once before ; kouma was our information source and mastermind for that operation .
