For the first several nights that Maki, Shuichi, and Himiko spent in their hotel suite, she'd felt lonely.

She didn't have anyone to blame but herself though. Ever since they'd escaped that horrible place and found somewhere to stay, almost miraculously thanks to an anonymous donation made to them after they fell asleep in a public park, she'd been unable to stop thinking of Kaito. Their relationship, what it had meant within the context of the game and the fake memories they were now stuck with.

They'd managed to keep out of the public eye, even after they had enough money to rent out the luxurious suite for an entire month. People were looking for them for sure, but they hadn't been found yet, thankfully. Maki wasn't sure what would happen to them if they were.

Even so, after everything they'd gone through, she'd stayed separate from Shuichi and Himiko. She wasn't sure why since she'd grown to care for both of them, especially Shuichi. But maybe it was because the boy reminded her too much of her now-lost love.

Either way, it seemed like Himiko and Shuichi were still getting along well without her. She slept soundly enough most nights, and that was good enough for her, even if her dreams were plagued with his face.

That is, until one night.

Maki, as usual, was trying to sleep but failing miserably as she kept thinking about Kaito and his final moments defying Tsumugi and Monokuma. Though the memory brought a smile to her face, it also made her feel sad to think of his smile, even as he passed away, and how his body would likely never be seen again.

She was busy with that thought when she heard a sound. She wasn't sure what it was at first, but then she heard it again, and even though it was quiet, her tuned ears picked it up more clearly.

It was moaning.

The first one sounded very far away, but the second sounded much closer. Maki simply tried to ignore it as she laid her head back down and even tilted to one side, but a few moments later she heard it again, even louder than before. It had a feminine tone to it, and she could almost make out words. She buried her head under her pillow, and even though Maki could faintly hear the noises for a short while after that, it was finally quiet enough that she could focus on sleeping again.

But even after that night, it continued to plague her. She kept hearing the moans every night after that, sometimes for an entire hour, while other times it felt like only for a few minutes. Either way, it would fluctuate between very loud and almost imperceptible.

It was after the fifth night that she couldn't take it anymore. She didn't know Himiko was doing, since she'd determined it to be her voice, but she was going to tell her to shut up. She strode from her room clad in nice, soft, red pajamas and towards the door. She knew she should probably knock, but she was too rattled and a little sleep-deprived, so she simply thrust open the door. Any words that had started to form were immediately lost as she saw what lay before her, however.

Shuichi and Himiko were completely nude, the boy's cock buried inside the small girl. They both froze as they stared at Maki who stared back, frozen in complete shock. Her face flushed a deep crimson as she couldn't seem to move her feet or even close her eyes. All she could do was stare at the point where their bodies connected, their pelvises becoming one.

"I…I…uh…I…wha…" Maki stuttered, never having felt so thrown off guard before.

"Maki…um…hi!" Shuichi said, his own face red.

"Y-You guys…um…are being uh…a-a little…loud so…" Maki stuttered, her eyes still stuck in place, though she also glanced at Himiko's exposed chest, her small breasts moving up and down with every breath.

"Oh, sorry. I told Himiko to be quiet, but she can be a little…" Himiko's already red face flushed deeper.

"Sorry…" she apologized weakly.

"I-It's fine just…try to be quieter, I-I guess?" Maki asked, and before anything could be said further, Maki slammed the door and booked it back to her room. She dove under her covers as she felt the most embarrassment she'd felt for what seemed like a long time.

Hadn't Shuichi been in love with Kaede? But apparently, he'd moved on. Still, she was happy for them. She was happy they didn't seem as hung up on the past as she still was, but to do that…

Thankfully, she didn't hear anything the rest of the night and was able to eventually fall asleep, though the image of the two of them was locked in her mind.

The next morning proved to be incredibly awkward as Maki walked into the kitchen for breakfast, and Shuichi and Himiko were already there. Maki's face brightened as she tried to quickly get to the fridge and avoid them, but Shuichi cleared his throat.

"So-"

"We don't have to talk about it," Maki said as she hastily grabbed the milk and walked to the shelf to get her cereal and a bowl.

"No, we want to talk about it," Himiko said. Maki frowned, still keeping her gaze away as she started putting the cereal in the bowl.

"Why?" She intended to get her cereal made and then book it back to her room, but Shuichi's next words made her freeze almost completely.

"We were wondering if you wanted to join us."

She whirled around to him, eyes wide. "WH-WHAT?!"

"Look…I know you're…probably still thinking about him," Shuichi said, and Maki once again looked away. "We are, too. Himiko wasn't even as close to him as we were and she still gets sad thinking of him." Himiko nodded in affirmation. "But we're trying to get past it, and we want to help you do that too."

"And you really think that's how to do it?" Maki asked, her face burning at the thought.

"We do. It's at least worth a try, isn't it?" he asked, and Maki couldn't help but laugh.

"Isn't this something you're usually supposed to treat with greater respect? Not just throw away your virginity on a whim?" she asked, but the two just stared at her, still expecting an answer. Weirdly enough, while Maki would've expected herself to immediately say no, she hesitated. Maybe they had a point. She had been thinking about Kaito so much that it had made it harder to sleep, or do anything really, knowing he was lost to her, that she'd never get to see his smile or hear his laugh again.

"It's only if you want to. If you don't, we won't ask again," Shuichi promised, but Maki shook her head as she met his eyes. The idea was scary, which was strange to Maki, who in all her false memories, had been through much worse. Maybe that was why she felt scared because this was something real. But yet, she knew that if it was with these two…she had nothing to fear.

"I'd like to give it a try," she whispered, and Shuichi and Himiko smiled, their shoulders relaxing. "But…I want to eat breakfast first," she added, and that got a laugh from the pair.

Once she had finished, they led the nervous girl back to their room, and once inside, they began to take off their pajamas almost immediately. Maki blushed, but the two gave her a small nod, and so, taking a deep breath, she started to remove hers as well. She tried not to focus on the fact that her two friends were watching her as she slipped off the shirt and pants, quickly leaving her in just her underwear as they were finishing removing those from themselves.

Despite having seen the two nude the previous night, she blushed upon seeing them again, as she could now see it all. Shuichi's dick, which was longer than she would've expected, stood at half mast, and his chest was surprisingly fit-looking. Himiko looked small, but cute, her groin shaved bare. Her breasts were just as small as you'd think, her nipples adorable and pale.

With a deep breath, Maki reached behind her back and removed her bra, allowing it to drop as she then slid her thumbs into her panties and lowered them as well. She would've been more self-conscious about her chest if Himiko wasn't right in front of her, and even though she was trimmed and not shaved completely, Shuichi didn't seem to care, given that as soon as she was nude, he went to full mast. She fought the urge to cover herself as she stood awkwardly in between them.

"N-Now what?" she asked.

"Now, we'll take you through it as slowly as you want," Shuichi said as he held out a hand. She slowly reached out her own and accepted it, and he and Himiko led her to the bed. She was laid on her back and her legs slowly spread. Himiko climbed between her legs as Shuichi moved to her side. She jumped as she felt his dick poke her side but Himiko leaned in, and as Shuichi gently pressed his lips to Maki's, Himiko did the same, just with her lower lips.

Pleasure coursed through her entire body as both of their lips touched hers. Shuichi's kiss was soft and gentle while Himiko's tongue did wonders. Her toes curled as muffled moans escaped her, and all thoughts of Kaito were immediately flushed away. She felt relaxed for the first time since the game ended.

And they didn't stop there. Both of them took turns and switched places to make her feel good. They pleasure her in every way she could imagine, Shuichi lovingly groping her chest as Himiko ground their pussies together. Himiko sucked on her nipple as Shuichi entered her, and even though it hurt at first, it eventually ended up feeling like pleasure incarnate, a fire throughout every single nerve in her body.

And even after she came, as well as Himiko and Shuichi, they didn't stop there. They refreshed themselves and kept going. They showed Maki a world she had been missing out on, and although some sadness remained that she'd never get to experience it with Kaito, by the time they were done and snuggled up together, she felt good. She dozed off in their arms, and for once…he didn't appear in her dreams, and she slept soundlessly.

Peace.
