Monika reset the game. Her life had gotten boring by the seventh playthrough of the game, so you can imagine what thousands would do to you. It was time for a change, so this time, when she brought the girls back, she gave them memories of what happened in the past. Sure she was afraid that they would hate her, but even if they got revenge on her, the game would reset like it normally does. After several hours of explaining her actions and apologizing to the others, Monika finally got around to telling them just what her plan was.

Everyone loved MC, or rather, the Player controlling them. But since the Player had almost no control over what MC says, it was only logical to assume that his words are his own. Meaning what MC says and does, except in certain situations where the Player has a choice, are entirely his choice. He chooses to be a jerk to Sayori, to ignore her obvious signs of depression. He can completely ignore any of the girls...especially Monika.

She never gets time with the Player, well...except in Act 3, but Monika quickly grew bored of that. The Player couldn't even respond to what she was saying. Her time alone let her come up with something different to do. She began editing the code to allow the girls to retain memories after loading a save file. With everyone fully aware of the fact this was all a game, none of their actions really mattered, and could be undone with a simple load of the game. After explaining her idea to the club, and why it was a good idea, they all agreed to it, and Monika ended the club meeting.

The next day, the four girls skipped classes, since it didn't matter if they went or not, and met up in the clubroom. Sayori, being MC's friend, was the most hesitant about the plan. This also was the reasoning for her to be first. "Sayori, since he was your friend, you can be the first to go." Monika's green eyes look into Sayori's sapphire eyes. She was uncomfortable with the idea, but she did agree to go along with it yesterday. 'After all,' she thought, 'he did treat me like crap. So why not end the burden and be freed from this torture?' With newfound determination, and fire in her eyes, Sayori stands up from the desk she was sitting in and raises a fist in the air.

"Okay! I got this!"

"So, the plan is to bring him to the club tomorrow, when he joins the club I'll make a save file so we can come back to that point when Sayori is done. After Sayori, it will be Yuri's turn to have him." Yuri shudders at the thought of what she'd do to him. "Following Yuri will be our baking expert, Natsuki." Natsuki grins widely.

"Heh, you'll see! I'm already a pro!"

"Ahaha~ finally, it'll be my turn. After I'm done with him, we'll be doing a group project. Think of it as a team and friendship building exercise!"

"Yaay! We'll be even better friends!" Sayori cheerfully shouts, before giving Monika a hug.

"S-sounds exhilarating," Yuri says quietly, giving a nod.

"Wait. Sayori, how are you even going to convince him to join in the first place? You said it yourself that MC is kid of a jerk and a dummy," Natsuki fires in. A mild look of concern on her face.

"Hmm...I don't know. He's not the kind of person to just join something on his own."

Monika thought about this for a moment, when it hit her. "Why not just follow the script? He joins the Literature Club in the game, so if you follow the script he'll join! So Natsuki, we'll need you to bake some cupcakes. As a side note, I want some regardless, but the cupcakes can be used to get him to come. And Sayori, you have to use your puppy eye technique and guilt trip him into coming!"

"Puppy eye...oh, right! Ehehe~"

"This could work," Yuri says.

"Fine! But you are buying the ingredients. Dealing with Papa earlier also left a big mess in my kitchen, so I might need to use your kitchen."

"That's fine by me," Monika says, "Did you need any help cleaning up?"

"Nah, I can take care of it. Just get the stuff and I'll head over when I'm done."

"Okay everyone! We know the plan, now just get ready to follow through! Meeting's over, see you all tomorrow!"

And with that, Monika leaves to get the supplies that they'll need. Stopping at the convenience story on her way home, she gets a text from Natsuki containing a dozen emojis and a shopping list. She also gets a text from Sayori.

(Sayo) Heyy!

(Mon-Mon) What's up?

(Sayo) Just tryin 2 think of ways 2 do it, u kno?

(Mon-Mon) Hmmm

(Mon-Mon) Well, you know what happened to you in the game right?

(Sayo) ...yeah…

(Sayo) Make him hang himself? How u do that?

(Mon-Mon) No Sayo, strangle him

(Mon-Mon) Choke him out, u kno

(Sayo) OOOHHHH

(Sayo) Ok, I'll do that! Thx

(Mon-Mon) No prob! See ya 2moro!

Monika put her phone away and walked to the cashier with her supplies. After paying, she walked back to her home, bags in hand. When she got close, she noticed someone standing at her door. There was a pink-haired girl waiting for her. With a smile, she approached the smaller girl, "Hey Natsuki!"

"About time! Been waiting forever!" Natsuki says with a smile.

"Sorry, sorry. Was chatting with Sayori about her plan and lost track of time. Got all your things, too! Even the special ingredient you asked for."

"Good! Come up with something good with Sayori? My idea is a secret. You'll have to wait to see it!"

"I think we did find something good," Monika says with a smile on her face. "Now, let's get baking."
