DAY TWO ; 6:00 A.M.

Aoi Asahina was washing her face when the announcements started. She gave a shout of surprise, backed away from the stream she was kneeling at, and dug her map out of her bag. She still shook when she thought of killing Leon Kuwata, but there was a part of her that felt that it had been the right thing.

He had killed Sakura-chan, after all.

"Alright, let's get to our deaths. It was a rather productive morning, I'd say. Quite a few deaths, and quite a few of them quite fun as well. Anyway. First, Girl Number Five, Sakura Oogami, and then Boy Number Two, Leon Kuwata. Then Girl Number Eight, Touko Fukawa, and Boy Number One, Makoto Naegi. Watch out for those danger zones, kids. Anyway. After that, Boy Number Eleven, Nagito Komaeda. Boy Number Ten, Hajime Hinata, and finally, rounding off the group, Girl Number Eleven, Ibuki."

Asahina clutched her map so tightly that the plastic on the edge cut into her fingers.

"Now, danger zones. We're back to three, because, like I said, absolutely stellar performance. First, F6 at 7:30. I really don't know why that wasn't a danger zone before… either way, if you're hiding out in that warehouse, clear out. Then we'll go H6 at 9:00, start clearing that entire area out of the picture, and finally… J4 at 10:30. There. Happy killing."

Asahina shivered and clutched at her elbows. She wasn't in that area of the island, thank God – she wasn't in a zone that would become a danger zone anytime soon. Still… she wanted to get moving. She didn't know what could be lurking out there – or, rather, who could be lurking out there – and she needed to make sure that she survived.

For Sakura.

13 STUDENTS REMAINING


Next week is going to probably be all breather chapters, and then we might get into the next 'fun massacre time.' Also we're heading toward the big showdown between three characters – the very last three. Is it guessable who it will be? Maybe I'll give a clue at some time.
