Qsara

Qsara is the friend ship between Q-taro Burgerberg and Sara Chidouin from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Your Turn To Die
Sara and Q-taro's first major interaction happens when the two of them, along with Joe, Kai, and Keiji become trapped in the Blue Room. Q-taro wants to be the challenger for the gun game, but so does Sara after hearing the faith Joe has in her. They argue it out with just the two of them to see if Sara can persuade Q-taro to vote for her. Q-taro doesn't believe a high school kid could handle it, much less one who's never held a gun before. If Sara refutes enough of his remarks, Q-taro changes his mind and votes for Sara, saying he feels like he can bet on Sara. Even if Sara isn't able to sway Q-taro's opinion of her, he assures her that she's got Joe and Keiji who believe in her, so if she doesn't let them down, he will trust her too.

On the third floor, Q-taro is available as Sara's partner for the Arm Wrestling, Charge Card Battle, and Runaway Minecart Attractions. The first time that Sara partners with him, he offers to trade 10 tokens with her once they complete it.

On Day 1, Night negotiations, Q-taro asks Sara if she's collecting tokens. He says he's curious about the escape ticket Ranger mentioned, so he's collecting lots of tokens to see if he'll be able to get more information that way. He hopes the escape ticket will open an opportunity to get everyone out of the Death Game, but admits it's probably not that easy. Sara thinks to herself that Q-taro told her his plans without trying to keep it a secret, but wonders whether he'll actually consider them if he does manage to obtain the escape ticket. Q-taro brings Sara out of her thoughts, asking to trade 20 tokens.

The next morning, Q-taro brings Sara to a new room he found, inside of which is Kai's laptop. Q-taro called specifically on Sara and Keiji to help him because isn't good with computers. The three of them look through the emails until the battery runs out. Sara tells Q-taro to hold onto the laptop until they can somehow get it charged back up, and the three agree not to tell anyone else about it.

At noon negotiation, Q-taro requests a chat with Sara, without any token trading. Q-taro worries that Sara isn't getting enough rest. He ends up talking a bit about baseball, and how when he grew up, he practised so hard so that he could be a pro baseball player, even without parents or a coach, that he injured himself badly right before his big moment. His point is that Sara shouldn't push herself either. He asks if Sara likes her parents, to which she says yes. He implies that he figured Sara is a loved person, then says that he sensed Kai was a lonely person. Q-taro realizes he got too serious, and suddenly asks Sara if there's any guys she likes. All of Sara's possible answers try to avoid the question and she quickly excuses herself, but it ends on a lighthearted note.

At night, Sara finds Q-taro and Keiji having an argument in the lobby. Q-taro explains to Sara that he gave the laptop to Kanna in exchange for tokens, thinking it'd be fine since it had no charge on it.

On Day 3 morning, Q-taro is the only one available for negotiation. He offers to trade 40 of his tokens for just 10 or 20 of Sara's, and comes off incredibly suspicious. Sara takes notes of this. Q-taro tries to assure her that he's just tired, and it's a good deal. Sara admits to herself that it's a good deal for her, but she's getting a bad feeling. If Sara refuses the trade, she tells Q-taro he should calm down a little. If Sara does do the trade, Q-taro quickly leaves, saying he has places to go.

Before Sara goes to check on Q-taro in the Long Stairs, if she has 50 of Q-taro's tokens, she can buy and view his personal information.

Sara finds Q-taro inserting tokens into the vending machine at the top of the Long Stairs, and is surprised as to what he's doing. Q-taro explains that he collected 200 tokens, and Sara correctly guesses that he's going to buy the escape ticket. Sara deduces that he's planning to escape alone, and although Q-taro denies it; he was going to come back for everyone; Sara knows it's a lie because he didn't say anything about it to her before their trade. Q-taro justifies himself saying it's only right he take it since he won it fairly, but Sara tries to reason with him. Just as Q-taro is about to put the last token in, Ranger appears and informs him that if Q-taro escapes, everyone else left will die. Sara begs for Q-taro to not go through with it, but he doesn't listen. He puts the last token in, and leaves Sara behind to a Game Over.

Fanon
Qsara is a less popular friendship in the YTTD fandom. Their relationship tends to be seen like an older brother and sister. With Sara being able to win Q-taro's trust as early as Russian Roulette, they seem to have good respect for each other. They both have a strong desire to stay alive and both care for their allies, but Q-taro seems to be more self-preserving than Sara. Sara takes no nonsense from Q-taro, especially when he shows his more selfish side.
