[edit] Pre-Program

Satomi Noda is one of the class of third-year students at the fictional Shiroiwa Junior High School in Shiroiwa, Kagawa Prefecture. She was a model student, but was often referred to as being "frigid". She wore wire-rimmed glasses, and was very intelligent. In the manga, she was part of the drama club.

[edit] During The Program

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Satomi was one of the girls who joined up with Yukie Utsumi and her group at the lighthouse.

In the film, Satomi moans about only living until the next day. Yukie comforts her, telling her that she will find a way out of the scenario.

After Yuko Sakaki tries to poison Shuya Nanahara, but accidentally kills Yuka Nakagawa. The girls suspect each other, thinking that one of themselves is the murderer. Satomi was the first one to become panicked enough to grab her gun, and she then shoots Chisato Matsui, Yukie Utsumi, and Haruka Tanizawa in a frenzied panic. Haruka (Yukie in the film) shoots Satomi in the head (eye in the manga).

In the novel, Haruka is still alive at this point. As Satomi dies, she shoots Haruka again (possibly accidentally), killing her.

In the film, Yukie receives no additional gunfire. Satomi muses about the possibility of living until the next day (in the French-language dub, she also muses about seeing the sea). Yukie shoots Satomi, speaks her final words, and dies.
