'I don't know. I don't really know what I was doing. Do you ever — Naegi-kun, do ever have times like that? Like you go to your room to grab something but halfway there you forget what you were even gonna get? Geeze, I used to do that all the time. Go to the locker room and come back with a towel and the swim team would be like, what the heck, Asahina-san, you were supposed to get … something else, I don't know. Or did you ever go to the wrong room for a class? Or call your teacher Mom, or, or forget your best friend's name, or… or get ready for school in the morning and think hey, I could just go to the mall instead, no one'd really notice…
'Oh, eh, I guess I kind of got off track. Well, it's sorta like those things, anyway. Sort of. You just end up doing something and then you're like, what am I doing here? Like, how did I get here?
'But I guess this wasn't that at all, huh. Really the whole thing was like that. I mean, us being here. And other people not. And our classmates who…
'Can I have that towel, Naegi-kun? I'm getting kind of cold, ehehe.
'… As for me, I dunno if I do. Oh, oops, I kinda started talking in the middle of a thought there, huh! I was gonna — I was thinking about fate, and karma, and that kinda thing and do you believe in fate, Naegi-kun? I don't. At least I don't think I do? It feels like something that people who have a great life come up with so they don't have to worry about homeless people or whatever. Like Togami-kun, he'd probably say that kinda stuff. Before all this anyway. I don't think any of us can really go ahead and say, yeah, it was, I dunno, in the stars that we were gonna be stuck in this —
'S-sorry! I didn't sneeze on you, did I? I guess it probably wasn't a bright idea jumping in with all my clothes on…
'They didn't call me an idiot for nothing, though.'
'Maybe there is fate. Maybe this was all arranged before we could even walk or talk and god's just a real jerk. Like worse than Monobear. Has to be if he made Monobear in the first place I guess. And whoever's behind Monobear, too.
'Yeah. He's gotta be the worst. For making the mastermind, and for putting us in here, and for, for killing our… for killing our…
'It's not fair, Naegi-kun. It's not fair. It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair. They were good people and they had family and friends and they were only our age and it's not fair who does that to someone when they're stuck in a corner like that, you know, it's like knocking a kid down and then kicking her! It's not fair cause Monobear probably showed all of them horrible things on those DVDs and now they'll never know if their families are ok and, and if they are then their families are never going to know what happened to their children, and, and…
'And it's not… it's not fair, because… cause I never even got to tell her what was on my DVD, I never told her about my family and… I just, I figured we'd get out and I could show her and now we can't and I was so stupid and… why'd it have to be her, you know, she was really a good person and she was so smart and strong and why couldn't it have been me, I'm not much good for anything, I'm just the dumb girl with the big chest, no one really woulda missed me and it could have been the same, the same end, I guess, it's…
'It's not fair, Naegi-kun. Sakura-chan should be here and I should be with all the other dead kids. It shoulda been me. It's not… it's not fair, it isn't… god's a real jerk. It shoulda been me. 's not fair.
'…
'S-sorry about that, Naegi-kun, 'm sorry. Sorry. It was stupid. It won't happen again, I promise, so don't you worry about me, ok? I promise. Besides, it wouldn'ta worked, I can hold my breath for a real long time, heheh… sorry. Can I have another towel? This one's soaked through.'
