Chapter 5: Trial of Chihiro Fujisaki
As much as they didn't want to find themselves in the courtroom again, they have had another murder on their hands. This time, the victim was the tech savvy Chihiro Fujisaki and it falls on everyone to find the killer, even if it costs them their lives.
Class Trial
In Session!
"Well then, my sweet and tender hooligans, why don't we kick things off by talking about the murder weapon?" Monokuma began.
"According to the Monokuma File, the victim was struck with a blunt object, which resulted in what was most likely an immediate demise." Togami said.
"Yeah, question is what could it have been?" Nino asked.
"Hey, maybe it was a metal pipe!" Hagakure guessed.
"No, that can't be the weapon!" Adrien countered.
"Duh, right! What was I thinking?!" Hagakure realized.
"The scene of the crime was void of any pipes, so it wasn't possible." Max agreed.
"From what I heard from Tails, the weapon capable of making such an injury was a dumbbell." Shadow said.
"Yes, the injury's circumference and that of the weighted end was a perfect match." Kyoko added.
"Wait! You checked her crunched-in head?!" Asahina asked.
"Ahhh! I bet there were brains!" Hifumi yelped.
"Given the bloodstains we found on the carpet, I think it's safe to assume the crime was committed right there, in the girls' locker room." Celestia deduced.
"Thus, it's high time to name the culprit." Togami said. "Would you care to rack your brains, or shall I just tell you who it is?"
"You know who did it?!" Mondo asked.
"Obviously... Chihiro Fujisaki's killer is... Genocider Sho!" Togami declared.
"Hold up, that serial killer who was in the news did it? Come on!" Knuckles said.
"But wouldn't that have to mean that raving lunatic is one of us?!" Asahina asked. "That's crazy talk!"
"It's not as crazy as you think." Makoto said. "Togami, Sonic, and I found a dossier on the killer in the library."
"From what I remember when we read it, it detailed recurring motifs throughout all of Genocider Sho's murders: two particular calling cards, in fact. The first is that Sho always left a message written in their victim's blood." Sonic said.
"Yes, "Fun bag fever," if I'm not mistaken." Hifumi guessed.
"I think the words were "Blood bath fever," actually." Alya said.
"The second motif is important, as it's never been disseminated to the public at large. Without fail, every one of Sho's victims has been found crucified." Togami said. "Thus, having found her in such a unique state, it's only natural to assume that Fujisaki was slain by the selfsame villain."
"So, what you're saying is, there is a violent serial killer in our ranks?" Luka asked.
"Indeed. And she goes by the name... Toko Fukawa!" Togami accused Toko of being the serial killer in question.
"Wha-?! I-! Uh...!" Toko stammered in shock.
"Hey, hold your horses! Fukawa freaks out at the sight of blood, and whoever's been killing those folks is anything but squeamish!" Applejack defended.
"I think it would be fair to say she's a "Sho," and a "no-Sho." Togami hinted.
"Wordplay, seriously? Our lives are at stake!" Hagakure said.
"(Fukawa's a Sho and a no-Sho? What's Togami getting at?)" Makoto thought.
"Hold on... Didn't the file say that Genocider Sho is suffering from dissociative identity disorder?" Sonic asked Makoto.
"Hey, you're right, Sonic! The file in the library did mention that." Makoto confirmed.
"I trust that will suffice?" Togami asked.
"You... You promised that would be our little secret, Togami!" Toko whimpered.
"Be a good girl, why don't you, and let the lady in question tell us the rest." Togami glared.
Toko screamed until she fell backwards and fainted. Seconds later, she sits back up to her original state, with some differences. Her eyes have turned red, her teeth have become sharp, and her tongue is abnormally elongated.
"Guess that's my cue to tag in, ain't it, bitches?!" She spoke with a sinister tone. Everyone freaked out at the sight of the personality shift.
"Well, ain't that a kick in the baby-maker! You figured out who I am! Behold! You're looking at the Ultimate Murderous Fiend... Genocider Sho!" The serial killer introduced herself.
Genocider Sho
Ultimate Murderous Fiend
"Toko Fukawa's just the crap-tastic name I was born with!" Sho told them.
"Wh-What on earth's gotten into you?!" Ishimaru asked, still shocked by the sudden revelation.
Genocider Sho cackled. "Not enough these days, if ya know what I mean! Why? You volunteering?!"
"This persona we're seeing is... nothing like Fukawa." Sakura said.
"It's like she's a completely different person altogether." Alya commented.
"And so, we have found our killer. Fujisaki was slain by Genocider Sho. She had clear motive." Togami said.
"What would that be?" Sakura asked.
"Fukawa did not want anyone to discover her bloodthirsty alter ego—It was her secret... A secret worth killing for." Togami responded.
"Not a bad theory... And kinda clever for a dude!" Sho commented. "Too bad it's totally wrong, blondie! I'm actually innocent for a change!"
"Heh, like we'd believe a serial killer like you." Kagami spoke.
"Kagami's right! I'm not about to take some serial killer's word for it!" Asahina agreed.
"We've established it could've been her. But are we certain she's our only suspect?" Makoto asked.
"Face it. Sho has a very specific modus operandi, and it matches this death to a tee." Togami commented. Makoto realizes something.
"It's close, but not quite!" Makoto countered.
"Then how does it differ?" Togami asked.
"Told ya I didn't do it this time! Suck it, Sherlock!" Sho taunted. Togami gasped. "Buy this bastard a clue, huh? I take pride in what I do, which means I'm a stickler for the details!"
"She's right! And we can point out two differences. First, the killing blow: All of Sho's prior victims had been stabbed to death. Not one of them was bludgeoned." Sonic pointed out. Togami simply glared at the hedgehog.
"Why go with blunt force trauma when I just grab some skizzers and paint the town red?" Sho asked.
"And the crucifixion didn't match Sho's M.O., either." Makoto chimed in. "Fujisaki was tied to the rack with an extension cord, right? Sho's never tied her victims up with anything. Rather, she pins them up with those scissors she loves so much."
"Yeah, you could say they're her tools of the trade." Sonic said.
"Give those two a cigar!" Sho confirmed. "I use scissors on my trophies, so I can stick 'em right to the wall! Don't want 'em crumpled in a heap when the cops find 'em." Sho said.
"How considerate..." Makoto said nervously.
"What's the one thing all my victims have had in common?!" Sho asked.
"One thing they've all had in common..." Makoto pondered before remembering the file. "I forgot! Genocider Sho would never kill a woman! All of her victims were men!"
"Damn, this kid is on fire!" Sho cackled. "Yep, I only cut up the guys who get me going in the "southern hemisphere," if you catch my drift! Oh, I mentioned my naughty bits! How terribly, horribly, unladylike of me!"
"Of course, there is a chance Sho mistook Fujisaki for a cute guy and quickly improvised." Twilight pondered.
"Ah, shut your talk-hole, four-eyes!" Sho shouted.
Twilight flinched. "F-Four-eyes...?!"
"I stick to my style, even if it means I gotta blow my damn cover!" Sho explained before revealing four sets of sharp scissors. "Dun-dun-duuuuuun!"
"Where the hell'd those come from?!" Hifumi yelped.
"I got more of 'em on me, if anyone wants to go treasure-huntin'!" Sho replied.
"Give it a rest! Crucifixion's your bag, scissors or otherwise! It said so in the cops' secret file!" Mondo said.
"Wasn't that why we thought it was the real Genocider Sho, and not some copycat?" Asahina asked.
"Hold up a second... There is one other person who knew that detail... Togami." Makoto said glancing at Togami.
"Remember when we looked at that file in the library? You said that the files are genuine and they match the copies in your study at your home, didn't you?" Sonic asked.
"Frankly... I wouldn't be surprised if you knew Sho's method before we even got here." Makoto deduced.
"S-So we're locked in here with a serial killer and a copycat?!" Hifumi yelped.
"You knew about timid little Fukawa's secret and planned on pinning your crime to her other persona." Chloe said.
"What have you to say for yourself?! Answer us!" Ishimaru barked.
"I say, where's your evidence?" Togami asked.
"Don't think you're off the hook just yet." Shadow said.
"Indeed. The extension cord used to crucify Fujisaki was not unknown to me or Shadow." Kyoko said. "I noticed its presence in the library, where you spent a fair amount of time prior to the murder."
"That's your proof?" Togami asked. "So I killed Fujisaki in the girls' locker room, and then strung her up so as to emulate the victims of a known murderer, throwing suspicion elsewhere and covering my tracks. Does that sum it up?"
"Togami is looking too calm to confess like that." Luka commented.
"It's almost as if..." Marinette said before Makoto gasped, realizing something.
"I gotta wonder... What if the killer switched the contents of the locker rooms to throw us off the trail?" Makoto asked.
"Great Caesar's ghost!" Hifumi gasped.
"Are you saying... Togami swapped out the rooms, then?" Sunset asked.
"There was a swimsuit model poster in the girls' locker room... and a poster of some boy band over on our side." Makoto remembered.
"Hey, that's backwards!" Tails said.
"You're right... Which means... Fujisaki wasn't killed in the girls' locker room, but in our locker room. It's the only way it works!" Makoto deduced.
"What do you mean?!" Togami asked in surprise.
"Hold up, how was a girl able to get into our locker room in the first place?" Hagakure asked.
"It's really that simple, actually." Shadow said.
"Our Fujisaki... was a boy." Kyoko said. Togami gasped, followed by everyone else. "Shadow and I found out when we checked the body."
"Righty-o! Little Miss Fujisaki... was a dude in a dress!" Monokuma confirmed, holding up a sign that read "Girly Boy."
"So, he was cross-dressing, huh?" Sho asked. "Oh, that's so hot... I wish I HAD killed him."
"It's a good thing you didn't, huh?" Sunset said.
"Yeah, but, that alone doesn't change the fact that Togami did it." Hagakure said.
"Actually, I believe it does." Makoto chimed in.
"What prompted the change of heart?" Togami asked.
"Because... when we found out just now that Fujisaki was a guy, you were as surprised as all the rest of us." Makoto said.
"But that was a fact the real killer already knew about." Sonic spoke up. "Meaning you can't be our culprit!"
"Hah. I guess that works. Your evidence is purely circumstantial, but it clears my name. As theories go, it'll do. " Togami said. "It's exactly as Naegi and Sonic claim! I'm not the guilty party!" Everyone was astounded that Togami was innocent. "That said, I found her in the locker room and did tamper with the state of the body."
"You smug bastard! You get off on this, huh?" Mondo asked angrily.
"I was testing your powers of deduction and unnerving the killer with this late revelation." Togami said.
"You... You're still lying to us!" Ishimaru accused.
"You're well within your rights to doubt me. But don't forget what happens if you convict in error." Togami reminded them. "If you wish to see tomorrow, help me find the killer."
"Squirrelly son of a-!" Mondo was about to yell but Kyoko interrupted him.
"So be it..." Kyoko said. "Let's speak of the case further."
"Excellent! Our little guessing game's found its second wind." Togami smirked.
"I've got a question: how was the culprit able to enter both locker rooms without being shot into chum?" Chloe asked.
"You can thank the notebooks of the departed students for that." Shadow said. "Kirigiri and I found them in the foyer."
"Huh? What are you getting at?" Asahina asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it mean either gender could use them and gain access to both rooms." Celestia guessed.
"Impossible... Kuwata's digital notebook broke when he was executed. It's useless now." Shadow corrected.
"So in other words, the killer has to be one of the boys?" Kagami asked.
"I suppose, but isn't using another student's device in direct violation of the school rules?" Rainbow Dash remembered.
"The rule in question prohibits the lending of our digital notebooks." Togami said. "It says nothing about stealing them."
"Yup! Trust Fund called it!" Monokuma said as he ate some honey from a pot.
"So all we really know about Fujisaki's killer right now is that he's of the male persuasion?" Hifumi asked.
"Hold on... Celestia, didn't you say that you saw Fujisaki the night he died?" Sonic asked.
"Indeed... He was headed somewhere and had a long-sleeve jersey stuffed into a duffel bag." Celestia said.
"The culprit most likely disposed of the shirt earlier." Shadow said. "But did he leave behind any clues as to its fate?"
"If I remember correctly, we have a lot of jerseys at our disposal." Sakura said.
"And in a bunch of different colors, too, right?" Asahina added.
Hifumi chuckles. "I don't even have a jersey. They don't fit me right."
"Yeah! Mine's white! Looks pretty bitchin'." Hagakure said.
"Celestia did say Fujisaki was on his way to meet with someone, right?" Sunset asked. "Could they have picked their jerseys together?"
"Yes! That's it! Fujisaki's jersey must match that of his killer!" Ishimaru realized.
"You're saying whoever killed him has to have a matching blue jersey, huh?" Mondo asked. Kyoko, Shadow, and Makoto overheard what Mondo said. "Well, looks like I'm off the hook, at least. I grabbed me a black one."
"Should've kept your mouth shut!" Makoto argued.
"What the hell, bro? You trying to start somethin'?" Mondo asked.
"Looks like Shadow and Naegi caught it also. Owada, you just made a fatal slip-up." Kyoko said.
Makoto nods. "The jersey... We mentioned him having one, but... no one said it was blue." Mondo yelped upon realizing his error. "Think about it, man: Celestia never even mentioned the color.
"What're you getting at, bro?!" Mondo asked nervously.
"It appears you dug your own grave with that slip of the tongue, Owada." Shadow said.
"I didn't dig nothing!" Mondo argued.
"You poor sap, I'm afraid you did." Togami said.
"The logic of your feint was very sound. You gave him just enough rope to hang himself." Celestia said.
"So to speak." Kyoko finished.
"No, you're wrong! My friend Mondo would never stoop to homicide!" Ishimaru argued. Mondo simply lowered his head. Ishimaru ran from his seat to his friend. "This is all a mistake! It has to be! I don't know how you guessed that the shirt was blue, but that doesn't mean you murdered Fujisaki! It's not true! He's innocent! Why are you all trying to frame him?!"
"We have to be sure." Makoto said. "Let's look at the case again, starting from the beginning. This will prove whether our verdict is right or wrong!" He then summarized what happened.
"It was nighttime... Fujisaki left the storage room, duffel bag in tow. There was a blue jersey inside that bag. Fujisaki headed off for the boys' locker room." Makoto explained. "But how was her digital notebook able to get her inside? Turns out... Fujisaki was actually a boy. Someone was in the locker room, waiting for him. Whoever Fujisaki met up with is the very person who killed him. He grabbed whatever was handy, in this case a dumbbell, and attacked. Once the deed was done, he needed to confuse us, so he flip-flopped the contents of the two locker rooms. To get into the girls' locker room, he just needed to grab Maizono's or Enoshima's notebook, which were in the foyer. That's how the killer managed to swap out the two rooms. I get it about right... Mondo Owada?!"
Mondo's head hung low in defeat. "You're a clever guy, Naegi. You got me..." Mondo admitted it. "Yeah, I did it."
Everyone gasped at the confession. "Mondo... What are you saying...?" Ishimaru asked.
"Hey, Monokuma... enough dickin' around... Just let them cast their damn votes already." Mondo told the bear.
"With pleasure!" Monokuma said as he threw the now empty pot to the floor, shattering it on impact.
"No, wait! Please, don't do this!" Ishimaru yelled.
"Gimme a break—He confessed!" Monokuma told him. "All right, twerps, you know the drill! Place your votes and save your necks!"
"Please, noooo!" Ishimaru screamed. But it was too late. The verdict had already begun. The reels spun until they stopped on Mondo's picture. The machine whistles and flashes, indicating a correct verdict.
"Votes are in! Shock-eroo! Owada in the locker room with the dumbbell!" Monokuma confirmed. "Eat your heart out, Colonel Mustard! Believe it or not, my ragtag bunch of character tropes, the vote wasn't unanimous! I gotta say, Ishimaru, voting yourself guilty was noble, but stupid. Good thing the others had their act together, or you'd all be boned."
"I don't believe it... I refuse to believe he's... a killer..." Ishimaru muttered.
"Sorry, bro..." Mondo breathed.
"Why?! Why are you apologizing?!" Ishimaru yelled. "Why did you murder him, Mondo?! Why?! Tell me! Make me understand! Why'd you do something so horrible?!"
"I think I have a general idea as to what drove him to kill Fujisaki." Shadow said.
"You do?" Marinette asked.
"It must have something to do with their secrets." Shadow said. "It helps you understand if I told you Fujisaki's history. Chihiro Fujisaki was a boy born with a very frail body, and it's because of that people often mistake him for a girl. For a long time, people have often told him that he was too girly for his own good. Rather than give them a beating, he chose to hide his embarrassment. And what better way to do that than become a girl? While his new life was a dream come true, the truth was a secret he couldn't afford to let loose. If word got out, the bullying from any of us would be worse than what he got back in the day."
"Indeed it would. I figured I'd have him grow a pair and kill one of you." Monokuma chimed in.
"But your plan backfired. He used the threat of being exposed to push himself to become a better person... a better man!" Luka said.
"With that in mind, he took to the iron with a heart of a hero. But one question raced through his mind: Who to choose as his manly mentor? I'll give you one guess who he had his eye on..." Shadow said as his attention shifted to Mondo.
"Yeah, me." Mondo admitted. "Fujisaki trusted me enough to tell me the truth."
"Speaking of the truth, what kind of secret was it that made you kill someone who trusted you with theirs?" Chloe asked.
"Allow me to give them the run-down." Monokuma said. "Check it out! He killed his own brother!"
Everyone gasped in shock. Mondo whimpered.
"Talk about messed up!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Is this... Is this true?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah... It's true. My big bro was like a god to me. He created the best damn biker gang in all of Japan. So, of course I joined up." Mondo admitted. "My bro was top dog, and I was his number two. When it came time for him to hang up his colors, I was supposed to take his place as the boss. But I wasn't him, y'know? Not even close... I felt like such a failure next to him, such a... fake! On the night of his retirement party, I challenged him to a street race. I was so desperate to win that I started pulling some really reckless shit. And that's when-!"
"He pushed you out of the way of an oncoming truck, taking the full force of the collision, right?" Knuckles asked.
"Uh-huh. He died saving my sorry ass. He promised me with his dying breath to carry the gang to glory." Mondo said. "I'm such a weakling! I'm pathetic! I couldn't man up to my failings! But Fujisaki..."
Flashback – Boys' Locker Room
"I wanna change! It's time for me to become a man!" Chihiro said.
"This little dude with so much to lose... he had the balls to face his fears and beat 'em!" Mondo said. "I was jealous of him, all right? I was so... friggin' jealous! 'Cause he was stronger!"
"You little... bastard..." Mondo seethed, surprising Chihiro. "So, you wanna be a man? Step right up... It's your lucky day, for real... I'm the strongest guy here by a country mile, and if anyone says otherwise, I'll beat 'em to a bloody pulp! I'm stronger than you! And I'm stronger than Big Bro!" Mondo angrily picked up the nearby dumbbell and with one mighty swing, struck Chihiro and killed him.
End Flashback
"In my rage, I crushed his head in... because he was brave..." Mondo confessed. "I killed someone who came to me for help, someone who looked up to me! He was more man than I've ever been!"
"And then, after killing Fujisaki, you destroyed his digital notebook to hide his secret. Isn't that so?" Kyoko asked. "The other notebook Shadow and I found in the foyer, the one we assumed belonged to Kuwata, was yours, I guess."
"You brought it into the sauna, hoping the extreme heat and steam would ruin it." Shadow said. "You probably did the same thing to Fujisaki's."
"No wonder we weren't able to track his notebook." Tails chimed in. "He must've broke it before disposing of it."
Mondo and Ishimaru broke down into tears. Makoto whimpered at how heartbreaking this was.
"Fujisaki..." Marinette sighed sadly.
Monokuma feigned weeping. "As much as I love watching men weep like damsels in distress, it's Punishment Time!" Ishimaru gasped at those words. "Don't look at me like I'm singling out Pompadour Jr. here! This punishment is meant for all humanity! Despair is your birthright!"
"And what does that mean?" Kagami asked.
"Huh? What's it mean?" Monokuma asked. "It's gibberish, okay?! It was the first damn thing that came to mind! What? You think I'm going for a Pulitzer?!"
"Hmph. I am going to survive this... That's all the rest of you need to know." Togami said.
Monokuma laughed at the idea. "You're a hoot, Richie Rich! I like the cut of your jib!"
"Just so that we're clear on this, Monokuma... The moment I'm declared the winner, I'm going to find a way to end you, little demon! I swear on my good name!" Togami declared.
Monokuma laughs. "Warning! Bad-ass alert! Look at you, with your sweeping proclamations! Aw, the bit part thinks he's people! That's so cute!"
"Who are you calling a bit part?!" Togami glared.
"Now, then... it's time for you-know-what!" Monokuma declared.
"No! Not yet!" Ishimaru spoke.
"I've prepped a li'l special something-something for our Ultimate Biker Gang Leader. Spoiler: I think he's gonna dig it!" Monokuma said. "Whaddya say, Owada?! Gimme five, Bro-seph! Get ready for hell on wheels!"
"Don't do this! Take me instead!" Ishimaru pleaded.
"Well, let's send him off with a bang! Punishment Time, ahoy!" Monokuma said.
"I'm begging you not to kill my friend!" Ishimaru begged Monokuma.
"I hope you'll forgive me, Big Bro. I promised you man-to-man, but I let you down..." Mondo apologized to his departed brother. Ishimaru was on the verge of breaking down, but someone used this chance to talk some sense into him.
"Ishimaru..." Shadow spoke up. The Ultimate Moral Compass heard him. "I understand that it's heartbreaking to see your closest friend die in front of you. I should know; that happened to me a long time ago."
"Shadow..." Ishimaru breathed.
"You shouldn't blame yourself for what he did. He chose to take his judgment like a true man." Shadow said. "And if you had the strength in your heart, you'd do the same. Remember this well: Even when he is long gone, your bond is something not even the cold grip of death can take away."
Having heard Shadow's words of encouragement and determination, Ishimaru wiped his sorrowful tears away. "Y-You're right, Shadow. I need to be strong... for his sake... and mine!"
As the conversation concluded, Monokuma slammed his gavel on the button.
GAME OVER
Mondo has been found guilty.
Time for the punishment!
The scene then showed Mondo tied to a motorcycle with Monokuma driving sporting a similar pompadour, and a large spherical cage appeared before them.
"This punishment, it's designed to emulate Mondo's talent. He's about to die from the extreme speeds from within that cage." Sunset deduced.
"Stand tall, everyone! Like Shadow said, Mondo is taking this like a real man! To honor his warrior spirit, we must do the same!" Sonic said.
The Cage of Death
Monokuma revved the bike as it rocketed towards the cage at high speeds. Once it reached the cage, Monokuma jumped out at the last second as it entered. The cage then electrified as Mondo went round and round as did Monokuma with a hula hoop. It kept going until a huge flash filled the room. Once the light died down, Monokuma was exhausted as the bike's rider mysteriously vanished. A tumbling was heard in the machine as out of it came a tub of butter with Mondo's face on it before showing a crude drawing of Monokuma with a plate of pancakes.
"Well, how do you feel now? You can see that delinquent's soul has gone on to a "butter" place." Monokuma laughed. "If that didn't break you, I don't know what will."
He sees that true to Sonic's word, everyone stood tall and straight, unfazed by the brutality of the execution. "Sheesh! You guys are stronger than I thought... I'm gonna have to pull out the big guns if I wanna see you give in to your despair." Monokuma said.
"Try all you want, you two-toned monster. We are not moving." Sonic said as the students left. With the heroes alone, Mondo's spirit left the cage.
"Thanks, guys, for enduring my punishment like that. Y'know, you guys are something." Mondo said.
"We've seen what Monokuma is trying to do to us, and it isn't pretty." Sunset said. "We don't want that happening to anyone."
"You're strong, Sunset. I commend you. And Shadow, thanks for talking some sense into Ishimaru. None of you go and die or get killed, okay?" Mondo said before going into Shadow's medallion.
"Believe me, getting killed is the last thing I want right now." Sonic said as he placed a hand on his chest, remembering the time Mephiles murdered him.
"Now for one last stop..." Marinette said.
The heroes then went to Chihiro's corpse and saw his spirit standing in front of his former body.
"We figured out what you really are, Fujisaki. A boy who's self-conscious of his appearance is nothing to worry about." Adrien said.
"It's... been my identity my whole life. When I learned it was gonna be exposed... I wanna get stronger and stop hiding it. I wanted to show the same kind of hope you do." Chihiro said.
"You... admire us?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah, especially you, Sonic. You're brave, you're strong, you're kind, you're all the qualities I want in a mentor. In fact, I was actually gonna come to you had Mondo turned me down." Chihiro said to Sonic.
"I understand that you're dead now, but if we ever escape this, how about you join us on our next adventure?" Sonic asked. "I know someone who could use a programmer like you."
"What? Are you... serious about this?" Chihiro asked.
"It does seem kinda boring being the only tech savvy person in the group. I could really use some advice if we do escape." Max said.
"Sonic, I will accept your offer. But before I go, I just have a small request." Chihiro said. "After you explore the third floor, head to the co-ed locker room. I left something there I'd like you to have." Chihiro then entered the medallion.
"Thank you, Fujisaki." Sonic whispered.
