When Hajime woke up his hands were drenched in blood and his hair had been cut. He looked around to see he was in a cell. "What happened" Hajime asked "where's Chiaki". "Ah so you're awake" nekomaru said "I guess it's time for interrogation". Nekomaru came into the cell and handcuffed Hajime before picking him up by the collar.
Once they reached the dinning room nekomaru tied Hajime to a chair. Everyone was seated at the table and stared at him. For a while everyone was silent until Komaeda spoke up. "Why did you try to kill Chiaki again Hajime Hinata?" Komaeda asked. "What where's Chiaki is she safe" Hajime asked. "Don't you recognize the blood on your hands" Mahiru said. "You stabbed her in the chest" ibuki shouted. "She would have died had that pig bitch not stopped you" Hiyoko said. Hajime searched his memories and tried to figure out what was happening but he couldn't remember anything after kissing Chiaki. Desperately Hajime looked at his prosecutors until he noticed someone was missing. "Where's mikan" Hajime asked. "She's still tending to the wound you gave Chiaki" Sonia said her eyes full of hatred. "I didn't hurt her" Hajime said. "Do you think we're idiots" fuyuhiko said "you did it before and now you've done it again". "To think Chiakis killer was leading us this entire time" twogami said. "We should kill him where he stands" teruteru declared. "My hell beast would happily tear him limb from limb" gundam said. "Screw that I'll break every bone in his body" Akane shouted. "Now hold on" Komaeda interjected "we still haven't figured out why Hajime tried to kill Chiaki twice". "To hell with that" Kazuichi said "he'll probably say anything to save himself so what's the point". "Than let's give him sometime to gather his thoughts before we interrogate him some more" Komaeda said "than when we find him guilty will kill him". Everyone agreed to the plan except for Hajime but no one cared. Hajime had to figure out what happened or else they would surely kill him.
In Chiakis room mikan prepared her trap. When she stabbed Chiaki she had made sure to avoid any fatal parts. The area she had stabbed didn't produce enough blood so she used the blood from Chiakis blood test. She even placed some on hajimes hands to point more suspicion to him. As for the fainting spell that Chiaki and Hajime experienced that was caused by knock out medicine that mikan placed on Chiakis lips. Once Hajime kissed Chiaki it was only a matter of time before they ingested some of the medicine. Mikan didn't really expect Chiaki to come out of her comatose, but none the less she was prepared. "Now for the final push" mikan giggled as she prepared a vaccine "sleep well Juliet". Than mikan injected the vaccine.
Hajime had to think fast or else he was going to be executed. As he tried to remember what happened, Sonia stared at him with eyes full of hate.
While Hajime was downstairs, Komaeda checked up on mikan. He opened the door only to immediately regret it. Inside mikan was hunched over Chiakis body crying. "What happened" Komaeda asked. "I tried to stop the bleeding but I was too late" mikan cried "I'm sorry please forgive me". Komaeda than felt a surge of rage inside. He than stormed off leaving mikan alone. It was clear to him now. Chiakis killer had to die.
Once Komaeda came back to the dinning room he was filled with rage. "Sonia get everyone down here" Komaeda demanded "we're going to start the trial now".
Slowly everyone gathered in the dinning room. "Where's mikan" ibuki asked. "She's preparing Chiakis body for the funeral" Komaeda said "now let's start the trial". "Wait what happened to Chiaki" Hajime asked. "Isn't it obvious she's dead and its your fault" Hiyoko said. "No I swear I didn't" Hajime pleaded. "Suppose you didn't stab Chiaki" fuyuhiko said "than who did?". "I don't know" Hajime said "maybe mikan knows". "She already said that you stabbed Chiaki" Mahiru said "she sedated you but I guess she was too late". "Wait what was she doing in Chiakis room?" Hajime asked. "She was going to refill Chiakis IV bag" Sonia said "why were you in her room". "I was trying to wake her up but than I blacked out" Hajime said. "Is that why you stabbed her so she would wake up" Souda said. "No I wouldn't do that not after everything that's happened" Hajime said. "Admit it already" Komaeda said "you wanted to kill her so you could be filled with despair". "No that's wrong" Hajime pleaded. "Just shut the hell up or confess" Akane said. "Fine if you're going to kill me at least let me see her one last time" Hajime said. "Fine but don't try anything" Komaeda said.
When they got reached Chiakis room they were shocked to find she wasn't there. "Find mikan now" Komaeda said. After a search through the castle came up short gundam called upon his dogs to track mikans scent. The dogs whimpered in pain when they sniffed the ground. Upon further examination it turned out the ground had been sprayed with pepper spray. "Check outside" Komaeda demanded. Once again the search ended with no results. "Wait" Sonia said "if this castle is like my old one there might be a secret exit". "Than get everyone in here" Komaeda said.
once everyone was gathered they agreed to split into groups and find mikan. "Wait Komaeda" Hajime said before he left. "What do you want" Komaeda asked. "Let me come with you please" Hajime begged. "Fine" komaeda agreed.
When chiaki woke up she was in a sterol white room like a hospital. "Oh you're awake" mikan cheerfully said "here have something to eat". Mikan than pushed a tray towards the bed. "Say ah" mikan said after she scooped up some soup. "I can eat on my own" chiaki said. "Not when your hands are tied to the bed" mikan laughed "now eat up so we can get started". "Started with what" chiaki asked worriedly. "The transformation of course" mikan smiled. "Into what" chiaki asked. "Don't you see you're going to become the reincarnation of the ultimate despair" mikan said. "But why" chiaki asked. "Ever since my beloved died I've been all alone" mikan said "but than you came back and I realized this was part of her plan". "What plan" chiaki asked. "The plan for Junko enoshimas legacy to continue" mikan smiled "now are you ready?". Mikan than pulled in a tv monitor and hooked it up. "Now before I begin how much do you remember" mikan asked "and please answer honestly". At that time chiaki had regained her school memories but her memories of the safe haven and with the ultimate despairs had been temporarily blocked. "Good than we can start" mikan smiled before turning on the monitor to reveal the video documenting Chiakis death. As the video played mikan turned the lights off so only the screen was visible.
Eventually sonia managed to find a secret escape route in Chiakis closet. Komaeda led the first search team comprised of him, Hajime, an Akane. As they walked down the dim lit escape route Komaeda never took a second to look at Hajime. Hajime didn't even dare speak a word. All he could do now was think of where mikan could have gone. Than he remembered the white room he had once visited. "I know where mikan might be" Hajime said.
