This is basing off of my very very inconsistent memory so I do apologize in advance if I am wrong; if I am, disregard the following statements
But if my memory does serve me correctly, I don’t think the rest of the Little Busters were at all aware that they were already done for at that point. Only Kyousuke knew about the gas leak at the end, and the others were just aware of being in an accident. Sure, they were very close to death at that point, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were still hopeful of surviving.
Kyousuke, on the other hand, was resigned to the fact that this would be their last chance, but he stilled pull that stuff on them despite this.
Again, I could be wrong so I won’t push this point any further shrug
I’ll have to thank @Naoki_Saten because I feel he worded what I wanted to say in a much better way:
But in the case, you can replace “the author” with “Kyousuke”
