How long have we been in this school? Minutes? Hours? Day?! My mind panics. Yuma and I have decided to retrace our steps back to the staircase after we have found yet another dead end. On our way back, we found one of the main hallways along with a map of the school.

"So…We are in the infamous Heavenly Host Elementary School…" Yuma says mortified upon looking at the map, "and it looks like we are totally lost." She sinks down to the floor and curls up against the dusty wall.

I sigh and fall to the floor next to her, "I guess so…man I am so tired and thirsty." I didn't notice how thirsty I was until Yuma and I finally found the map on the second floor of this cursed school. When I think about it, some of the decaying bodies we have seen appeared to have died from starvation or dehydration. I look over to Yuma, who was still curled up in a tight ball, "Yuma…what is in that bag of yours?"

She looks up at me with shining eyes full of gathered tears, "My bag? Oh!" She sits up and rummages through her large bag, searching for any potential helpful items. "I have my student ID, my paper scrap, a notebook, pencils and pens, and…. A bottle of water!"

"Some water?! Open it that up I am so thirsty!" I exclaim. As I try to snatch the water away from her I feel something connect to my ribcage and pushes me away. I immediately regain my senses from dehydration and look at Yuma; her face is flushed a bright red and her fist is closed into a tight ball.

"What the hell is wrong with you Taoso?! We don't even know if there is any sources of water in this place, but you are just going to snatch probably the ONLY supply of water in this school! Who do you think you are?!" She screams at me.

"I….Don't know Yuma…I lost it when I saw that bottle of water because I am so thirsty. I am sorry Yuma, I don't know what came over me…." I tell her disappointed with my own self what is wrong with me? Why did I try to take the only bottle away from Yuma, dehydration is getting to me really badly…

Yuma sighs in frustration, "Instead of trying to take it away from me, you could have asked." She tosses the bottle in my direction and I catch it before it had a chance to hit the wooden floor.

"Drink only half of the bottle's contents, I would like some as well." She states. In an instant, I quickly unscrew the cap and slowly drink my share of the water; savoring each and every single delicious drop. The purified water washes away any filth inside my mouth and rehydrates my system. I want to drink the entire bottle but I have to keep my promise of only downing half of the bottle. When I reach my limit, I put the cap back on the water and hand the rest of it to Yuma so she can have her share of the water.

"Thanks…for saving me some" She murmurs quietly after she drinks the last of the bottle.

"You're welcome" I reply. After that, the conversation stopped; we both just sat on the cold grimy floor in silence thinking about what to do next.

Several minutes passed before Yuma finally said something, "Maybe we should look around this hallway and see if we can find any important information to help us get out of here safe and sound." I nodded silently agreeing with her suggestion.

"Yuma, hopefully you know that splitting up in here is a bad idea so the two of us need to stay together to ensure safety. As the saying goes, 'two heads are better than one'".

"Right we need to find the nearest classroom and start for there."

"Lead the way then Yuma."

I collapse onto the bare floor immediately after Naho explained to me everything in detail.

"What do you mean I will never see my friends again?!" I yell at her

She pushes her glasses to the top of the bridge of her nose before speaking. "As I have said before, this school has a nexus or sea of closed spaces; meaning that every single one of your friends are trapped inside a possible different version of the school. In order for the spaces to meld together so that you can all being in one stable space, the 'pegs that hold this school together' must be broken down." Naho grins manically.

"Pegs?" I ask.

"The children who were murdered in this school. If you can find a way to appease them all, then the pegs will fall down causing the nexus of closed spaces to become unstable and eventually collapse on one another." Naho says, "It is simple no?" I am stunned, how am I supposed to appease the children who were killed in Heavenly Host Elementary School when I know nothing about them.

"Look for clues about the victims from the notes of the dead and newspaper articles, they should help you on your way. Be wary though, if you do not find any other means of traveling the closed spaces you will spend the remainder of your days alone, suffering until this school consumes your soul." She walks away, in the direction I came from.

I curl up into a ball and weep, how am I supposed to do that…how?!

"Ammy?" A voice speaks to me.

Meanwhile…

Where I am? It is pitch black and I barely see the outline of my hands. Gregory, where did you go? I carefully shuffle around before bumping into a firm object.

"Gregory!" I call out to the object.

"Oj…jima" He mumbles.
