"Hey Ryuji?" Hanako said walking up to him.
"Yeah?" He replied.
"Come with me, i'm gonna give you a haircut! Oh and i wont take no for an answer besides you just look so glum! Lets go!" She beamed.
"Huh" He said but before he could refute, she was already being dragged away down to her room.
...
"Hey Hanako, Why the sudden interest in cutting my hair?" Ryuji asked.
"Hmm, i guess since you almost died a few days ago that you could say that this is one of those ways to start over. And not to mention you look way too gloomy" She replied still dragging him by the hood.
"Okay fine, jeez you sound like my mum... i don't want it cut short at all though, only a slight trim." Ryuji said crossing his arms.
"Fine... but by any chance is the reason why you keep your hair long because of the small scar on your forehead?" She asked.
"No, w-wait how did you know i have one on that side?" He asked almost shouting.
"When you hit the ground when you collapsed from being shot, you hit the back of your head, it bled a little but not much at all really at least not enough to leave a scar but we bandaged it up for a day. To be totally honest we didn't even realise that your head was bleeding until Tomoyo came to us in the next morning and told us in the cafeteria that you have been bleeding in the back of your head. When Haruka was bandaging your head we noticed the scar. Tomoyo Kind of told us the story and how it actually linked to your now not so secret." Hanako explained.
"Oh okay, i must have like some healing powers, im like the freaking wolverine!" Ryuji joked.
"Aha, maybe." Hanako chuckled.
...
Hanako's room:
"Wow, there are a lot of fashion magazines in here." Ryuji said.
"Well, when i'm setting people up on dates, i need a reference on when clothes people should wear on dates." She explained.
"Oh yeah you're the SHSL Matchmaker so that does make sense." He said.
"You betcha!" She chimmed. "Anyway let's get started, just sit on the chair by the mirror And i'll get my things."
"Ok" Ryuji said walking over to his chair.
...
"Okay im back. Okay so since you dont want you hair to be cut short, how about i trim your fringe just so we see your left eye and ill just trim some of the back ok?" She asked.
"Okay sure." He replied.
And on that note, Hanako started.
"Say Hanako, has anything happened when i was out?" Ryuji asked.
"Uh, yes actually, the second floor was opened up." She said.
"W-WHAT? Why did nobody tell me?" Ryuji questioned.
"Well because you were pretty out of it when you awoke because of Monokuma." Hanako said.
"Oh, well whats up there?" he asked.
"Nothing useful, there was a library with a shit ton of books, i'm not even gonna bother reading them." Hanako declared.
"Yeah, im not gonna be the one to read the 'shit ton' of books up there." Ryuji remarked. "What else?"
"Oh there is a pool, a huge one too! also in the changing room area, there are some gym stuff like weights and other things in there."
"Oh okay, at least that would kill time for until we actually get out of here." He said.
"Yeah, Im gonna leave your ahoge alone okay?" Hanko said poking said ahoge.
"Really? why is that?" Ryuji asked.
"Because i find it freaking adorable!" She chimmed.
"U-uh okay then, Im glad you're leaving it either way since it is a family trend, at least on my mum's side of the family." Ryuji said blushing.
"Ok" She said.

Cafeteria
...

In the cafeteria Michi was sneaking around whispering to all of the guys currently in the area. From Naoki to Harato to Kyoto and even Akira.
"Okay dude keep this from any of them ok?" Michi said.
"What ever Michi, i do see the potential satisfaction of doing this so i will keep it a secret from them." Akira said reading some books.
"Good" Michi said walking away to another table.
"AHem, may i have your attention!" A voice shouted.
"Huh?" Everyone said looking at the person talking.
"Hanako, is this really necessary, im reading a very interesting book and i don't want to lose where i am." Akira said.
"Oh how rude, anyway im here to present the new and improved Ryuji Shido!" She said pointing to Ryuji standing next to her.
His hair is noticeably shorter from the fringe now being able to see his left eye albeit only a little bit i still covered by some of the fringe. His ahoge was actually more noticeable this way. Also his hair has gotten a little bit more scruffy on the top.
"Was this really necessary, it's really embarrassing being here in front stage." Ryuji said starting to sweat.
"Oh come on! You are extremely popular in the anime community, you should be used to this by now." Hanko said.
"The only thing im infront of when performing is a microphone and a screen." He said back.
"Hey Ryuji, nice hair cut!" Naoki said walking up to him.
"U-uh thanks."
"Of course it's good, i did it Y'know!" Hanako said looking proud.
"It looks good on you." Tomoyo said.
"Heck yeah, Its good to see both of your eyes now." Masami chimmed.
"Thanks" Ryuji said blushing and scratching the back of his head.
"Hey Ryuji come here for a sec, i wanna talk to you." Michi said dragging him by the arm to the corner of the room.
"What is it Michi?" Ryuji asked.
"Well you see, most of us guys are going to have a guys only chat in the Bath house In a hour, you need to promise not to tell any of the girls okay?" Michi instructed.
"Uhh okay sure." Ryuji said reluctantly.
"Great! See ya then." Michi said patting the smaller teens head.
...
Bath house.
...
"Uh Ryuji, why are you wearing swimming trunks?" Michi asked.
"Simple really, i hate the feeling of the towel and the likelihood of it falling down, also it just seems more comfortable to wear." Ryuji explained.
"Okay then, Hayato and Akira you two are doing the exact same thing as Ryuji, why?" Michi questioned the two.
"Same reason." Hayato said.
"What? Did you want to see us in that type of clothing? Are you gay?" Akira teased.
"I'm really not, it's just weird!" Michi almost shouted.
"Either way lets just get in the bath." Naoki said.
"You first" Kyoto said pushing Naoki in the bath.
"H-hey!" Naoki shouted.
One by one the guys all jumped or walked into the bath.
"This feels nice!" Ryuji said.
"You said it." Naoki said.
"So guys what should we talk about?" Kyoto said.
"Girls duh, why did you think i said to keep this from them! If they heard us we would all be dead meat!" Michi said.
"Ohhh, fair point." Naoki said.
"Naoki, you first who do you like out of all the girls?" Michi said pulling Naoki to him with his arm around Naoki's neck.
"Yeah im interested in hearing this." Ryuji said narrowing his eyes.
~stareeeee.
"Fine! I would say that out of all the girls it would have to be Kirie." He confessed.
"Oooooo, whys that?" Ryuji teased.
"I just think she looks pretty, plus her fascination with bugs interest me..." Naoki said, for some reason the guys saw a mischievous grin on his face.
"Okay, since you brought us here, who do you like Michi." Akira said.
"Masami! I mean you gotta love the redheads." Michi said.
"I won't argue with you there, she is a cute young woman." Ryuji admitted.
"What about you Ryuji?" Hayato asked.
"Hmmm, id have to say Tomoyo." He admitted.
"Yeah she is a beautiful young woman too, and not to mention caring." Naoki said.
"Its the silver hair." Akira said.
"What about you Akira?" Naoki asked.
"Hmm,i would have to say that Hanako looks the most appealing, but i would say that her being loud is a bit irritating, Tomoyo's a lot more quiet." Akira said.
"Thats blunt" Ryuji remarked.
"What about Hayato?" Kyoto asked.
"Kuu because of her passion for birds and other wildlife." Hayato revealed.
"No surprise there."Akira said.
"Kyoto?" Michi asked
"Hm? Oh i'd have to say Haruka. Her expertise in the medical department is very useful and she definitely knows her way around a corpse." Kyoto said.
"Okay..." the others muttered.
While the others were talking, the door to the bathhouse was slightly opened.
"Hehehe, this is steamy, and i'm not talking about the literal steam." They said.
...
"Anyway, Naoki what were you doing during your time here." Ryuji asked.
"Like when we were imprisoned in our rooms for a year? I was reading, watching Tv and Throwing darts at my mums picture that is on my dartboard. She's a bitch who LEFT ME AND MY PRECIOUS SISTER FOR DEAD, THE SLAG DESERVES THE DEATH PENALTY!" Naoki shouted.
"Wow dude, chill were just asking." Michi said.
"Ahm, sorry about that" He apologised.
"Well everybody, i would have to inform you that we have a shadow." Hayato said gesturing his hand over to where the door was. The other boys looked to see Haruka peeping on them.
""""""Haruka!"""""" They all shouted running after her.
"Ahah, i guess i really am popular with the boys!" She chimed while running away.
DING DONG DING DONG.
...
"Ahem students, would you all meet at the Gymnasium in 10 minuets otherwise execution awaits you. See ya" Monokuma said.
To be continued.
