Sayaka was in deep trouble. And it was all her own fault. She was going to die, and she was never going to be reunited with her idol friends.
"Don't kill me don't kill me don't kill me DON'T KILL ME!" she screamed. She couldn't die; no way.
Her back hit the wall of Naegi's bathroom.
Leon stood in front of her, knife in hand. It felt like everything was a blur, but one thing she felt extremely clearly was the knife stabbing her.
Suddenly, her head hurt a lot, and a lot of new memories swept upon her brain.
They all knew each other!
They were classmates for two years!
"Naegi...I'm so sorry..." she mouthed to herself.
She felt blood on her fingers. Slowly but surely, she wrote his name behind herself in her own blood. That way, Naegi would live...right?
"I'm sorry...everyone..."
It hurt for awhile. A throbbing, sharp pain in her abdomen.
But then there was nothing.
Just an infinite expanse of nothingness.
The pain was gone, too.
She started feeling her senses again. How much time had passed? Was she dead or not? So many questions rushed through her mind. Her eyes slowly opened, but she closed them quickly because there was a bright light. She blinked, getting used to the light. Her sight cleared, and she realized she was in... a classroom?
A very familiar classroom.
The very classroom she has spent two years of high school in.
She sat up and noticed she was sitting at a desk. But she was alone.
"Where...am I? Am I still alive?" But that didn't make sense. If she was alive, then she would have a knife in her, blood everywhere, and she'd be in Naegi's bathroom.
Was this...heaven? Certainly not what she'd ever imagined, if so.
There was a note on the desk.
Welcome to the place the dead go to. This area will carry the dead students of Hope's Peak Academy's 76th class. Feel free to explore the rest of the area.
So... she was really dead.
She stayed sitting there for a lengthy amount of time; the truth sinking in.
She was dead. Not alive.
She hoped the students still alive wouldn't kill anymore people than just her.
"I hope Naegi is okay..."
She decided to explore the area, feel about her new surroundings.
She stood up, and walked outside the classroom she'd been in.
Although the surroundings were "new", they still felt really familiar to her. It was exactly the same as Hope's Peak Academy.
"I can't believe that I tried to kill Kuwata-kun and frame Naegi..!" The guilt set in and her knees buckled beneath her. She didn't even realize that she'd started crying.
"The precious classmates...that I spent two whole years with..,"
Time passed in a blur. Somehow, she found herself at a room with her name on it.
A note was laying on the bed inside.
This will be where you rest each night.
That was all it said. There was a clock on the wall, and Sayaka realized that it was apparently 9:30 p.m.
She felt exhausted, mentally.
So she decided to leave the thinking for tomorrow and rest for the night.
It was somewhat eery, the way she was alone in the building, except for whoever wrote the notes.
She fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Sayaka wondered where she was, before the memories of the day before hit her.
"Enoshima-san and Ikusaba-san..." How could two of their close friends just betray them like that?
She laid in bed for awhile, wondering about the others who still had to be in that despair-inducing situation.
She got out of bed around 2:00. She was starving. When she went outside, she heard noises coming from the cafeteria, and walked inside of it.
No one was there, but there was a meal sitting out on the table.
Another note lay beside it.
I'll prepare your meals, so from now on please come to eat at 8:00 am, 12:45 pm, and 6:00 pm.
She sat down in front of the meal, and started digging in. It wasn't delicious, but it wasn't bad either. Mostly just average. She finished it quickly and went back to the classroom.
It was still empty, just her.
BAM!
She jumped at the sudden noise and turned towards it-
Mukuro Ikusaba sat at a desk, confused and tired.
