Because I'm sure every character is extremely ticked off and frankly there's no point in having a poll since there's only 7 characters left, I'm skipping to the FINAL free time events. The special event will be an interesting one indeed...
Note Mikako's words...
I couldn't sleep all night.
Every time I closed my eyes, I saw bright blood and shredded flesh. I heard screams of terror, of pain, of suffering.
And now I'm here, at 1:00 AM. I went to bed at 9, and I haven't rested at all.
Knock knock.
Who's that...?
Knock knock.
I stood up from the bed, surprisingly with a lot of energy. My hand hesitated, but then turned the door handle.
"Jed?"
Jed didn't say anything, like always. Instead, he placed a book in my hands.
"Understanding Webdings...That's what you've been speaking this whole time?"
He nodded.
"...Then you must think it's important I understand you."
He nodded again, smiling.
"Okay Jed...I'll learn. If you want it, it's probably important...Why are you awake so late anyways?"
He gestured to me, as if to ask the same.
"...I can't sleep. Every time i close my eyes, I see...well...you were there."
Jed nodded, and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
He shook his head, then pointed to the book he gave me.
"...Have you slept at all?"
He shook his head again.
"I bet none of us got sleep."
Jed only shrugged.
"...Have a good night. I'll see you later..."
I closed the door, then looked at the book in my hands.
"...Looks like I have something important to do."
The next morning, though my body felt heavy, my eyes were bright. I wasn't going to speak weddings myself, as Jed could understand English just fine. But I had a decent understanding, and if Jed signaled slowly, I could understand him.
I could understand.
I made my way to the dining hall, and immediately noticed the mood. Without Kamiko's cheerful greetings or Swagmaster's yelling, it was so...quiet. There was no Senpai for us to tease Uke about, no one really...cheerful left.
"Hai Mikako."
"Hi, Kiyomi..." I say down at a circle table, and watched as Kiyomi set some food in front of me. All of us sat around the table.
"U luk exausted." Ninja told me.
"I didn't sleep all night." I replied.
"Did any of us get rest?" Gory asked everyone. A slow head shake from all of us. Well, except Tomato. He doesn't really need sleep.
Jed walked into the room and sat across from me.
"Good morning Mikako..."
"Good morning to you too Jed." I replied, barely sparing a glance. After I spoke, I noticed silence.
"You...you understood him?" Gory asked.
"That's what I spent all of last night doing. Trying to understand him."
"Y go thru all dat wrk?" Kiyomi inquired.
"...It's important... I know it is."
Should I spend time with Tomato? Can you even hang out with a Tomato?
Yes
"..." Was all Tomato said.
"..." I replied.
Tomato and I sat there, in silence. I couldn't help but wonder if he was thinking.
I guess Tomato and I got a little closer.
"I can't help but wonder what makes you so ultimate compared to the other tomatoes."
Silence.
"I didn't expect an answer anyways."
I walked away, confused.
Should I spend time with Kiyomi? I guess she is my best friend...
Yes
"Kiyomi?"
"Hai..." Her head was down, her face calm. What was going through her head...?
Kiyomi and I sat there. She seemed to be sad. Maybe all she needed was a friend to sit with her.
I guess Kiyomi and i got a little closer.
"Are you okay?"
"Thinkin bout Jin..."
"Oh..."
I let her be with her own thoughts.
Should I spend time with Ninja? I haven't really spoken to him much...
Yes
Ninja was standing there, without a single movement.
"..." I didn't say anything.
Ninja and i simply stood there. It was calming, actually...
I guess Ninja and I got a little closer.
"Do yo udo this a lot?"
"Ya...It maeks me feelll...strong."
"...I think that you're right."
I left him alone.
Should I spend time with Gory? I guess it wouldn't hurt...
Yes
Neither of us really said anything at all.
Gory and I sat in silence. She seemed to be wondering about something...
I guess Gory and I got a little closer.
"Why do they call you the Alien Psychopath Killer?" I asked.
"I don't really remember anymore."
"Oh..."
I walked away, puzzled.
Should I spend time with Uke? Is he even okay?
Yes
"Uke...?"
"Hi...Onee-San? Chan?"
Uke seemed conflicted. I wondered if he was okay...
I guess Uke and I got a little closer.
"Are you okay?"
"Will y-you be ther for me?"
"What do you mean?"
"No Senpai, no best friend. You'll be my big sister, right?"
"Of course! I haven't seen my own sister in a while anyways..." (Hm... What's Mikako talking about?)
I smiled and walked away.
Should I spend time with Jed? I guess I can understand him now...
Yes
"Hey there Jed."
"Hi Mikako. Have you been to the upper floors?"
"No, not yet."
"Then let's go."
Jed took me around the school, through the library and the different classrooms and stuff.
I guess Jed and I got a little closer.
"Last stop. The garden."
"Okay."
Jed led me into the garden. It was actually really pretty...then I saw the giant piranha plant.
"What the hell is that?"
"I have no idea-"
"SORRY TO INTERRUPT YOUR DATE!"
"Wha-?" Mono-Reject grinned at us.
"That's the Mono-Reject plant! Eats paper, plastic, and people!"
"...Ew..."
"People?" Jed asked.
"Yep! Enjoy your date you two! Don't get eaten!" Mono-Reject disappeared.
"Well...that was weird. Let's finish looking around..."
Once Jed and I were done, we stood beneath a tree to talk.
"I haven't figured out why Kamiko killed Swagmaster and Senpai"
"Yeah...she wouldn't give us a motive..."
"She wasn't under disease influence...what happened?"
"I don't know, Jed."
"Well, I need to run. I'll see you later?" He smiled at me.
"Yeah...see you later."
He lightly tapped my forehead, then walked away.
It had been a long day. Hours after exploring with Jed, Mikako lay on her bed, contemplating what would happen tomorrow.
"What should I do tomorrow?"
She frowned, a worried feeling creeping up.
"What if someone dies tomorrow...? No, can't think like that. I gotta do something."
Mikako's choices:
(THIS IS THE LAST SPECIAL EVENT)
Do something with Jed, he's got plans. (May be important to plot!)
Mourn everyone (Feeeeeelz)
Take a day to relax (Last opportunity for humor and happiness.)
