AN: Aww Micky died. You guys seemed a lot sadder than I thought you'd be I thought you guys would be like "omg yay the fab-fab bitch just died." I mean this is good I like these reactions better lol. I forgot to mention last chapter that I'm on Winter Break right now, so updates will be A LOT more frequent from now on. It ends 1/1/2014 though... so be wary of that too if you're expecting it for a long time. But until then there's a high chance for daily updates, or updates every two days or so, unlike my last schedule where I would wait like a week before updating again. So keep an eye out in your notifications, yeah? :D
Reven228: IKR. Maybe it had something to do with Micky being so annoying. (jk it doesn't)
King Okami: Thanks for the review! Hope you like the investigation!
Demigod39CluesFan: Aww all of these characters are your fav aren't they? ^^ (jk, thanks for the review!)
MizunashiFuyuko: BTW I just learned what "OTP" stands for. Yay! Lol I don't know crazy right? That's a good SHSL title, :P Thanks for the review!
Celes Ludenberg: Lmao! Thanks for the review! Glad to see some Nanako suspicion goin' on...
Monobu: I'm planning on putting characters that didn't have Free-Times or already died with their own Free-Time chapter when the story ends, so while far away, Micky's time isn't completely dead yet.
Kougari: Okay lets just flat out say it... don't hug me I'm scared. Lol, thanks for the review!
Ode30: Yup. Lol, he died. I'm not so sure it can be anyone though...and uh I have some DR+ news but that's coming next chapter.
FateOblivion: Which is everyone except for four people lol. Thanks for the review!
TheRoseShadow21: Yeah, makes perfect sense! Thanks for the review!
Soundtrack: OST 1-11 Re: Despair Syndrome
I was taken aback. I looked down from the library, and I saw Micky sitting on that chair. I clenched my fists on the glass floor. Micky was sitting there dead. I looked and I saw Shougo and Unmei, their eyes widened. They were shaking in their chairs that Mirai tied them into, with pure fear. I couldn't think about anything else right now.
I thought that we promised... me and the others had made a promise. We made a promise that we would never kill another person ever again... right? So why... why did someone have to kill Micky? I know that Micky wasn't the best person to get around with, but no one deserves death. Especially in a situation where it can kill everyone else. We needed everyone's cooperation to survive. But...
I screamed at the top of my lungs.
"K-Keiko?" Hikaru called from the door. "Are you okay?"
I ignored him and continued to scream, pounding on the glass floor below. Minutes passed...all I could concentrate was the dead body right below me. I was helpless. Sitting there alone, even more minutes passed... eventually I felt a hand lightly tap my shoulder.
"Master?" asked the voice. "Are you okay?"
"M-Mirai," I said, sobbing. I hugged him tightly as I cried into his shoulder. "Micky's dead..! Someone killed Micky!"
"W-what?" Mirai said, shocked. "B-but..."
As I held him, Noah ran in throughthe library doors after Mirai. Mirai looked at the body below me, and his face turned grim. Noah did the same, and he fell down in disbelief.
"...No way," Noah said silently. "It happened again..?"
*Ding, dong! Ding, dong!*
"Attention!" played Monokuma's voice from the intercoms. "A body has been found at the cafeteria! We will be holding a class trial soon, so please investigate to the best of your abilities!"
My mind blanked, and I remembered that day, not so long ago. We were in the courtroom, and we had to kill Yayoi, our friend who was just protecting her brother. And Hideki, who had been killed by her hands. We had to do that again..?! But why?!
"D-did I just hear that right?!" Yoshinori yelled from the hallway. "Did Monokuma just say another dead body was found?! Does that mean..?!"
"H-hurry, we have to free them," I said.
"What if they're still murderous in intent?" Noah asked.
"T-they're not!" I snapped. "I woke up after fainting, and they were perfectly fine! N-now hurry up, we have to get to the cafeteria..!"
Noah nodded, not protesting, and he freed Hikaru from his handcuffs while Mirai and I untied Yoshinori from the rope.
"S-sorry," Yoshinori said as we untied her. "I don't know what came over me."
"It's fine," Mirai said. "We should hurry though."
Mirai's voice was dark and scary, from contrast to his usual playful demeanor. What was going on in his mind? I'm sure it was just like the rest of us though... we didn't want anyone else to be murdered. That's what it was. I'm sure of it...
Hikaru stood above us, and he looked below from the cafeteria.
"We should hurry," Hikaru said. "We need to get to the body."
I nodded. "We... we have to do it again, huh?"
"Yup, yup, yup!" Monokuma laughed, popping up from the library. "Congrats you guys! It seems like you have committed your second murder! OMG! Laugh out loud!"
"...Shut up," I said, my teeth clinched together.
"...Upupupupu... did I make Keiko-san upset? Well, anyways, even if I did, you can't touch me, can you? Or I'll be forced to kill you right here..."
Monokuma laughed his devilish laugh, and he disappeared. Tears streamed down my face, but I nodded.
Micky wasn't the best person... I admit it.
But he was still human, and we were in a dire situation.
He didn't deserve to die – no one deserves to die.
And I would avenge his death... just like I did last time..!

(an: let me make it clear this bgm is one of my favs from the game. xD)
Beep! Beep!
KEIKO: Huh..?
MIRAI: Hmm, I think it's coming from your pocket... I think.
KEIKO: Oh... it's my ElectroID.
…
…
…
Monokuma File #2 has been added.
KEIKO: Huh? Monokuma File..?
NOAH: Do you remember? It was his version of an autopsy report... it has details of the murder here.
KEIKO: Oh, okay... let's see then.
|Victim: Micky Storm
|Cause of Death:
|Micky was slashed in the throat with a sharp object, causing him to suffer from an extreme loss of blood.
|Time of Death: 8:25 AM
|Additional Details:
|N/A
KEIKO: ...He died from a slash to the throat..?
MIRAI: I don't see anything sharp down there. It looks like the killer cleaned it all up, huh?
NOAH: They were hoping to have created the perfect crime...
YOSHINORI: S-so we need to go down there, right?
HIKARU: I shall go with you...
YOSHINORI: R-right, okay..!
YOSHINORI: You guys are coming, right?
NOAH: I will accompany you as well.
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Master?
KEIKO: ...Me?
MIRAI: Yes, are you staying?
KEIKO: …
KEIKO: Actually, there was something that I wanted to check out.
YOSHINORI: Huh? What?
HIKARU: Did you notice anything?
KEIKO: ...It's just a hunch. I'll be down there as soon as I can.
HIKARU: ...Alright.
NOAH: We will be right below you. Make noise if you need help.
KEIKO: Okay.
== Monokuma File No. 2 has been added as ammunition. (1)
MIRAI: So what did you want to see?
KEIKO: ...Something in the library. Something was odd.
MIRAI: ...Okay. Let's go then.
KEIKO: Right.
Location: Inside the Library | Time: 8:42 AM | Chapter Two | 46 DAYS LEFT
[I took Mirai to the center of the library.]
MIRAI: ...So? What is it?
KEIKO: Hmm...
KEIKO: Oh, there it is.
[I pointed towards a glass hole. I remember tripping on it.]
MIRAI: Ooh, a glass hole.
KEIKO: It's pretty big. I'm surprised that I didn't fall down on it.
MIRAI: You must've been lucky. It's big enough for a whole chair to fit through.
KEIKO: I'm not sure it's related to the case though.
MIRAI: Maybe it's not?
KEIKO: ...I guess we'll find out.
== Glass Hole has been added as ammunition. (2)
KEIKO: So I guess we should meet the others down at the library now.
MIRAI: Okay.
MIRAI: ...Master, are you okay?
KEIKO: Yeah, why do you ask?
MIRAI: It's just that I see you fainted a lot...and you said earlier that you fainted again.
MIRAI: So I'm worried...
KEIKO: Oh, y-yeah, I'm fine.
KEIKO: I don't know why I'm fainting so much though... you're right about that.
MIRAI: ...Okay...
[For some reason, he seemed upset.]
KEIKO: Anyways, we should head down.
MIRAI: Right.
Location: Cafeteria | Time: 8:50 AM | Chapter Two | 46 DAYS LEFT
[Everyone is here..! They must have heard the announcement.]
RHYSSA: AHH! Micky..?!
FURO: S-someone killed again..?
RYOKO: What the hell! This is ridiculous..!
UNMEI: Unnngh...
SHOUGO: I...I couldn't do anything...
NOAH: Everyone is here... I have also untied Shougo and Unmei.
KAITO: ...U-Unmei, are you okay..?
UNMEI: Y-yeah... don't stand so close next to me though, pervert.
KAITO: O-ouch... though, that's not our biggest concern right now?
UNMEI: ...I'm sorry... you're right.
KEIKO: Anyways, Noah, did you find anything?
NOAH: No... it's very strange.
NOAH: I have looked around, yet I cannot find any traces of blood, save for the area around Micky.
NOAH: For a cut wound to the throat thar large, I suspected that there must have been a trail of blood somewhere from where the murder weapon is.
KAITO: On top of that, there's also literally no weapon at all around here.
KEIKO: Really..? Nothing sharp at all?
KAITO: ...Well, there's a textbook.
KEIKO: A textbook..?
HIKARU: Behind Micky's body, we have discovered a text book.
HIKARU: It seems like while the killer was cleaning this up, they missed cleaning up the textbook.
MIRAI: Is it related to the murder?
YOSHINORI: It has to be.
YOSHINORI: See? There's blood on it.
YOSHINORI: But it wasn't the murder weapon.
TAKAYASHI: W-why not..?
YOSHINORI: The Monokuma File says that the cause of death was a slice to the throat.
YOSHINORI: This was probably used to knock him out or something.
TAKAYASHI: What if they used the book cover..? The edges are pretty sharp.
YOSHINORI: But... there's no blood on the edges.
TAKAYASHI: Oh. Right...
== Textbook has been added as ammunition. (3)
KEIKO: ...Hmm... if the murder happened here, that means Micky was still restrained.
TAKAYASHI: So..?
KEIKO: Well, that means someone here had to have witnessed the whole thing...
UNMEI: I'm sorry.
UNMEI: I was closing my eyes the whole time... I was too afraid to look at the murder.
UNMEI: But I saw someone come in.
KEIKO: What did he or she look like?
UNMEI: Well, it was definitely someone short.
KIREI: S-short?
UNMEI: I can't say whether or not it was a guy or a girl...
UNMEI: He was wearing some concealing clothes...
UNMEI: But the bodyframe of everything was a little petite too.
KIREI: A-ah..!
KIREI: It wasn't me..! I'm skinny and petite, but I would never kill..!
UNMEI: C-calm down, I believe you..!
KEIKO: ...Hmm, I wonder if Shougo saw anything..?
UNMEI: ...Oh, about him...
UNMEI: I think he's really depressed.
KEIKO: Well, clearly.
UNMEI: No, but like, he's really depressed now.
UNMEI: I think he's really upset... he saw another person get killed right in front of him.
KIREI: I...I feel bad for Shougo.
KIREI: B-but... we're going to catch the killer, right..?
KEIKO: Right.
KEIKO: Let's do it...
== Unmei's Testimony has been added as ammunition. (4)
[I... I don't want to look at Micky's body...but I guess I have to.]
KEIKO: …
KEIKO: E-eww... whoever cut his throat cut it deep...
KEIKO: The blood is barely dry.
MIRAI: Well, his only about twenty minutes ago, right?
KEIKO: I guess it was...
KEIKO: I still can't believe that this happened though...
== Micky's Throat Injury has been added as ammunition. (5)
KEIKO: ...His head has some blood on it too...
MIRAI: Yeah...
MIRAI: Must have been from the textbook.
KEIKO: Why would the killer have tried to knock him out though? He was already tied up.
MIRAI: It probably was because Micky was a bodyguard.
MIRAI: He could have defended himself either way, right?
KEIKO: Well, then in that case, he could have defended himself from being knocked out...
MIRAI: ...oh.
MIRAI: Well... I. Don't know.
KEIKO: ...Thanks.
KEIKO: Could he really have protected himself though?
MIRAI: Yes, why not?
MIRAI: It's not like he couldn't stand and hit whoever killed him with his butt or anything.
KEIKO: ...Excuse me?
MIRAI: I mean, have you seen those comedies?
MIRAI: Like, they're stuck to the chair, but they stand up and flail around with it.
MIRAI: Adapt to your environment... that's what all the great sensei's say.
KEIKO: I doubt that's what they mean by it.
MIRAI: ...But, isn't using a chair taped to your butt using the "environment?"
KEIKO: W-well, first off, a chair isn't really part of the environment...
KEIKO: And second, it wasn't "taped to his butt."
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Oh! Right, I tied him, didn't I?
KEIKO: …
[I worry about him... though I guess I was crying into his shoulder moments ago... so we're both to blame.]

== Micky's SHSL Talent has been added as ammunition. (7)
FURO: Still, aren't you guys still confused..?
MIRAI: Well, I'm still a bit confused.
KEIKO: About what?
FURO: The motive...
MIRAI: I split up with Noah and I found Kirei and Takayashi fighting each other.
KIREI: E-eeh! Please don't talk about it..!
FURO: We have to, Kirei...
MIRAI: By fighting each other, I mean trying to kill each other...
TAKAYASHI: Not one of my proudest moments, I admit it...
TAKAYASHI: But I dare you to go telling that around to people!
MIRAI: Anyways...
MIRAI: At about the time Micky was killed, they stopped fighting...
KEIKO: ...Really?
KEIKO: Well, when I woke up, Hikaru and Yoshinori weren't fighting again either.
MIRAI: And also, I don't know why that we were the only ones who weren't fighting.
KEIKO: By we...
KEIKO: You mean, me, you, Furo, Noah, Rhyssa, and Kaito, right?
MIRAI: And that means that Hikaru, Ryoko, Takayashi, Kirei, Yoshinori, Micky, Unmei, and Shougo DID want to go on a murder spree.
KEIKO: That's... a lot of us, isn't it?
FURO: So... does that mean someone who was on a murder spree was the culprit?
KIREI: P-please..! Drop the subject..!
MIRAI: ...Also, I would like to mention that Kirei was winning the fight.
TAKAYASHI: Huh?!
KIREI: O-oh, I was..?
KIREI: W-well, that makes me feel a little better...
TAKAYASHI: You mean it makes you feel a little better that you almost killed me?!
KIREI: I'm sorry..!
KEIKO: Uh... you guys..?
== Return to Reality has been added as ammunition. (8)
== Murderous Intentions have been added as ammunition. (9)
KEIKO: ...Then maybe we should check out the actual motive again?
MIRAI: Yeah... good idea.
MIRAI: We might be able to find out something from it.
KEIKO: Okay...
KEIKO: Then let's just...

MEOWYKINS: Access denied! Access denied! Bark!
MIRAI: Ooh! You just barked..!
MEOWYKINS: …
MEOWYKINS: No, no, no! You cannot pass!
MEOWYKINS: Access denied! Access denied! Meow!
MIRAI: But you did it right that time...
KEIKO: Anyways, why won't you let us watch the motive again?
MEOWYKINS: Y'all should've been payin' attention, instead of askin' me to go set the whole damn thing up again! Meow!
KEIKO: B-but, you just need to pop in the tape, don't you?
MEOWYKINS: No! Liar!
MEOWYKINS: Meow! A lot of time an effort goes in setting it up!
MEOWYKINS: I have to find the correct camera reel!
MEOWYKINS: I have to recharge the battery for the projector!
MEOWYKINS: I have to clean the lens!
MEOWYKINS: It's a hard days work for a dog like me! Meow!
KEIKO: But –-
MEOWYKINS: No "buts!"
MEOWYKINS: I refuse..!
MEOWYKINS: Y'all want to see it again, huh?
MEOWYKINS: Well I'm only a slave to Monokuma! I won't slave myself over with you too! Meow!
KEIKO: …
MIRAI: But... pretty please?
MEOWYKINS: No!
MEOWYKINS: Not at all! Noooo!
KEIKO: ...With a cherry on top?
MEOWYKINS: No cherries! No ice cream sundaes! Y'all better learn your place! Saying "please do this" to a person like me... I may not be Monokuma but I can still get a gatling gun and blast you to the seventh dimension!
RHYSSA: ...Please..?
[...What is that seductive voice..?]
[..! Rhyssa is showing some... skin, huh... Um...]
MEOWYKINS: …
MEOWYKINS: …
MEOWYKINS: ...Okay.
MEOWYKINS: I'll set it up for you.

RHYSSA: Thank you, Meowykins..!
MEOWYKINS: And Rhyssa-chan has to be there too!
RHYSSA: No problemo! I'll be right there!
RHYSSA: Don't worry, sweetie..!
MEOWYKINS: ...Meowza!
MIRAI: Did he just say "meowza?"
KEIKO: O-oh Rhyssa... how I feel bad for you.
MEOWYKINS: J-just go investigate something else, okay..?
MEOWYKINS: I'll be back with the movie ready in a jiffy..!
RHYSSA: I appreciate it..! Teehee! *wink*
MEOWYKINS: Meowza!
MIRAI: He said it again.
[Is Meowykins purring?!]
MEOWYKINS: I'll be right back..!
Soundtrack: Ikoroshia
KEIKO: ...He disappeared.
RHYSSA: ...God, what a pain in the ass...
KEIKO: T-thanks Rhyssa...
RHYSSA: Yeah, no problem.
RHYSSA: I overheard you guys trying to watch the motive again, so I came by and unveiled my feministic charms that I learned from the TV show.
KEIKO: T-thanks, I guess.
MIRAI: Feministic charms..? Was that feministic..?
RHYSSA: W-wha..? Was that feministic..?
RHYSSA: ...Why... you..!
MIRAI: Ow!
[Rhyssa thumped Mirai..!]
MIRAI: That hurt..!
MIRAI: ...R-Rhyssa is so mean..!
RHYSSA: Of course it was feministic!
RHYSSA: I don't just flaunt aruond everywhere with my skinny legs for everyone to see!
RHYSSA: You're lucky you even got to see it! Jeez... was it feministic? Of course it was!
KEIKO: Um...I think Mirai didn't know what you meant by feministic charms.
RHYSSA: ...Eh?
RHYSSA: Oh...
RHYSSA: ...Oh, right. Memories... whoops!
KEIKO: Yeah...
RHYSSA: A-anyways, we should go look someplace else!
RHYSSA: Woo! Look at that water! Pretty fish, too...
KEIKO: Well, we need to find out where the murder weapon is... or what it was.
RHYSSA: Maybe it was like a personal knife that the killer kept.
KEIKO: Maybe...
MIRAI: W-wahh... that really hurt...
RHYSSA: Oh, get over it...
MIRAI: *sniff*
KEIKO: Anyways, where can we search for the murder weapon?
NOAH: It has to be close by, right?
KEIKO: Oh, Noah. Did you hear us?
NOAH: Yes. And I believe I can pinpoint the location of where the weapon is.
RHYSSA: R-really?
RHYSSA: On what terms..?
NOAH: Well, let us consider this.
NOAH: The killer took the time to clean up the murder weapon, but left the textbook...
NOAH: The killer must have been in a hurry, no?
KEIKO: So... it has to be closeby? Are you sure?
NOAH: I am quite sure.
RHYSSA: Hmm...
RHYSSA: Oh!
RHYSSA: The trash room is nearby here!
KEIKO: Really? Are you sure?
RHYSSA: Yeah... maybe we can figure out something by searching there?
KEIKO: M-Maybe.
RHYSSA: Yeah! Let's search there!
MIRAI: ...Wah...
RHYSSA: Okay... really? I didn't even thump you that hard!
Location: Trash Room | 9:28 AM | Chapter Two | 46 DAYS LEFT
RHYSSA: Eww...! It smells so bad in here!
MIRAI: Smells like...
MIRAI: Like shit, right Keiko?
KEIKO: I-I didn't even say anything...
MIRAI: Anyways...
MIRAI: This is a cruddy trash room.
RHYSSA: How can a trash room be cruddy?
NOAH: Well, in terms of construction, Mirai is correct.
NOAH: All that's here is piled up trash.
NOAH: There's not even an incinerator around here.
RHYSSA: ...So, are we going to have to scavange through the trash?
RHYSSA: That's sooo disgusting..!
RHYSSA: Why would we do that?
NOAH: Let's just do it, regardless.
RHYSSA: Urgh...
KEIKO: Um, actually, I don't want to ruin my gloves, so...
MIRAI: ...Oh! I have an idea!
MIRAI: You can take them off! That way, your gloves will be nice and safe!
KEIKO: But my hands will be tainted too!
NOAH: Well, just go searching anyways!
NOAH: We need to find something that resembles a weapon, or any evidence!
RHYSSA: ...I... I think I ate that piece of corn over there for dinner last night.
[I spent time going through the trash... disgusting.]
KEIKO: Ugh... I can't find anything.
RHYSSA: Me neither...
NOAH: I cannot either.
MIRAI: I can't find anything too...
MIRAI: All I found was a bloody piece of glass...
MIRAI: ...By the way, why are we searching through the trash?
NOAH: You find a bloody piece of glass?
NOAH: That could be the murder weapon..!
MIRAI: ...Oh right. Micky died.
RHYSSA: How do you forget something like that?!
MIRAI: Anyways, what's important is that we found the murder weapon.
KEIKO: We "might have" found the murder weapon.
MIRAI: Right. Okay.
== Piece of Glass added as ammunition. (10)
NOAH: …
RHYSSA: …
KEIKO: …
MIRAI: …
RHYSSA: ...Okay, we found a potential weapon... why are we still searching?
KEIKO: I don't even know...
KEIKO: ...Oh, speak of the devil. I found something strange...
RHYSSA: Urgh... What is it?
KEIKO: It's a... it's a cape.
NOAH: A...cape?
KEIKO: It's a cape, and a mask.
KEIKO: Or, more so, it's paper that's been drawn and cut out like a mask.
KEIKO: The cape probably belonged to the killer.
NOAH: Why is it related to the case?
KEIKO: There's blood on the cape, and a little bit on the mask too.
KEIKO: I think maybe the killer was wearing this?
KEIKO: Though I don't know why...
RHYSSA: Probably to conceal their identity?
KEIKO: R-right.
KEIKO: I do remember...
UNMEI: I can't say whether or not it was a guy or a girl...
UNMEI: He was wearing some concealing clothes.
KEIKO: This must have been what the killer was wearing.
MIRAI: ...Right...
== Cape and Mask has been added as ammunition. (11)
KEIKO: Well, I've had just enough trash as I could take.
RHYSSA: Me too...
RHYSSA: I know we're investigating Micky's death, but this was still as unpleasent as it could ever be.
NOAH: Well, at least we have found two useful things of information...
KEIKO: Yeah...
KEIKO: ...Huh?
NOAH: What?
KEIKO: ...I see something else by the door.
NOAH: By the door..?
KEIKO: ...It's like a piece of a paper.
NOAH: Blood?
KEIKO: No, but it looks like it's been ripped out.
RHYSSA: That must have been used to make the mask then.
MIRAI: Impossible.
RHYSSA: H-huh? Why..?
MIRAI: The killer was in here to dispose of the evidence, right?
MIRAI: Why would there be a ripped piece of a paper in here?
MIRAI: If the killer was making the mask before hand with paper, there wouldn't be ripped paper in here.
MIRAI: What I find more interesting is the fact that there's a needle here.
RHYSSA: A needle?
MIRAI: Yes.
MIRAI: A needle and a pencil.
NOAH: That needle... it's a needle used for making tattoos?
MIRAI: Mmhmm.
MIRAI: ...Maybe I should get another tattoo...
KEIKO: But why would there be a tattoo needle in the trash room..?
MIRAI: I think the paper might be unimportant...
MIRAI: Or maybe it is...
MIRAI: But this needle has blood on it too, so it's probably important.
KEIKO: ...Right.

"L-let us watch it again," I said.
"Okay," Meowykins said.

No matter how much we rewatched it, I still couldn't get it. Mirai and Noah seemed to be lost in thought, but Rhyssa looked as confused as I did.

MIRAI: Don't know.
RHYSSA: But you're the one who wanted to watch it again!
RHYSSA: I was even feministic!
MEOWYKINS: Why yes you were...
RHYSSA: Fuck off, dog!
RHYSSA: ...S-sorry...I got a little carried away.
MIRAI: I-I'm sorry, Rhyssa-sama..! Don't thump me again!
KEIKO: Someone else is calling Rhyssa by "-sama" too..!
NOAH: Anyways...
NOAH: I have a faint idea...
NOAH: It's on the tip of my tongue though...I can't pinpoint what I think just yet.
KEIKO: Well, was it really important..?
NOAH: ...I believe so...
NOAH: We'll just have to find out, though...
KEIKO ...Okay...

"Attention! The investigation is now at a halt! Please proceed to the entrance hall to be taken to the courthouse! Or courtbeach, if you will."
"...Did we really find out enough?" I asked to the others.
"I hope so," Rhyssa sighed. "I...Maybe the others found out something..?"
"I always questioned in this game canon why when the main character is doing some important investigation, the others can't find chicken scratch," Meowykins sighed. "Oh well, that's enough breaking the fourth wall now. I have an obligation to take you to the Entrance Hall, so y'all better follow me..! Meow!"
Location: Entrance Hall | Time: 11:02 AM | Chapter Two | 46 DAYS LEFT

"Upupupupu!" laughed Monokuma as we all entered the submarine. "Welcome to the S.S. Monokuma! Destination, Jabberwocky Island, where a courthouse has been prepared, and where we will fight to the death! Next stop, Jabberwocky Island No. 2! Enjoy the nice scenery, and try to relax! Whoever the killer is could use this time to let out their anxiety...leave it all out in the open, right? Upupupu... Nyahaha!"
"S-sick bastard," Furo said.
"W-why does he have to do that..?" Kirei asked. "I-I don't want to do this again..!"
"Yet you must!" Monokuma laughed.
The next few minutes went by silently... the submarine surfaced, and we landed on an island, which Monokuma described as the second Jabberwocky island... I didn't question it when Monokuma led us down the paths to a parking lot. There were numerous seats lined up in a circle. Pictures of Hideki and Yayoi were there in their spots from the first trial.
I found it strange that he took us to a place in front of a diner... but I didn't question it. All I could do was take my seat, and prepare myself.
This was it.
This would be it...
"Upupupu, are you all ready?"
