the theatre
You awaken in a darkened theatre.
In front of you is an enormous cinema screen. On it plays everything that's currently happening in the mansion, accompanied by appropriate sound effects and background instrumentals when fitting. The seat you're sitting on is large and plush, and while there's many of them, there's enough room in the theatre for you to fully recline the seat into a comfortable bed if you wish. Under each seat is a sleeping mask and noise-cancelling headphones, in case you'd like to take a break from watching the show.
Follow the stairs up and you'll reach what should be the projection room. There are no projectors in here, however; it is simply a large and well-lit room above the main seating area, and a good place to hang out with your fellow eliminated contestants if shouting at each other across the aisles proves too much to handle.
If you leave the theatre through the door in the back, you'll find yourself in a hall. On one end is a concession stand. It's stocked with standard movie snacks - popcorn, candy and the like - but if you're feeling the urge for something else, you'll be able to find it stocked somewhere in the back. On the other end is a table with thirty wrapped bags and a placard reading 'A star for our stars! Please accept these lovely giftbags as a token of appreciation for your hard work, sponsored by [illegible smudge]'. Each bag has a tag bearing the name of someone in the mansion; you will only be able to open the bag with your name on it. As soon as you open it, any memories that have been taken from you, including those of the other people in the mansion that you may have forgotten, will be returned in their entirety. Within the bag are also objects from your home that you may want for your stay here, though you will find no weapons.
There are no other doors in the hall save for the one leading back into the theatre room. There are also no windows; it is impossible to tell where you are and what is going on in the outside world. Any attempts to break out will fail. So in the meantime, why not sit back and enjoy the show?
Oh, and one more thing. At midnight following each execution, once all those who've died that week have woken up, a video will begin to play on screen.

Oh. Thank... thank goodness...

[She's afraid to offer Sonia the high of hope, when she looks almost as jittery as a recovering addict, but to withhold it would be even crueler.]
We might get out of here. We're not completely - the presents. Sponsorships. They come from us.

Tarou... What happened to him?
[ Was he dying slowly right now in the smoking room...? Why would he have done such a thing? Why did he go after her? ]

We are hopeful about his fate! Very hopeful. Stiles, and Annie, and Susan [guess which of those names has the nuance of being her favorite to have an excuse to say] they have keys and they are working on unlocking him.
no subject
Wh...why? [ She whimpers, looking like she is on the verge of tears again. ] Why would he do that-?
no subject
Kanaya is just. Here. For her.]
He must have trusted his ability to aim...

I do doubt, though, that Stiles and company would have been permitted the tools of saving him if it were completely futile. There's a difference between false hope, like that person dangled in front of us, and violating the principle of narrative causality.

[ And she will. She can't stand the idea of Gundam dying for this. ]
