< Ai's POV >

"Raise a glass to freeeeedom. Something they can never take away. No matter what they tell youuuuuuuuu."

"BOOO!" Gold threw his popcorn at the American Revolution Era Monokuma, and his three copies on stage.

"Hey! I'm not cleaning that up. And wow, you don't have a clue on how stunning my performance has been so far! I rapped through all of "My Shot" without breaking a sweat you ungrateful bunch! I knew I should have charged as much as it was on Broadway..."

Agh, I'm glad the singing stopped for at least a minute. How can a robotic bear be tone deaf? We have been sitting down in this theater for half an hour. Monokuma suggested that we watch a musical while we wait for the others to escape that school. As a singer and stage performer myself, this was certainly a painful experience.

"Tch, we're all just sitting ducks until they get out of there. Is there really no other way out until a murder happens?" Espio grimaced.

"Well there is one way, but there's no chance they'll ever find it! There's only a success rate of 0.00000001% when it comes to obtaining it as well! Bwahahahaha!!" The bear cackled as we shook our heads.

Trunks then stood up from his theater recliner and turned to us, "Well, no matter how low that may be, we just have to believe they will. However, their lack of resources may get to them eventually... they have to hurry."

"Indeed, we can't afford to lose more of our group, just need to believe in that small possibility. There has to be someone among that group that can lead them in the right direction... preferably not Aoba." I responded, and everyone else agreed.

"... Hey. I'm talking to you, hello?"

"..."

"EMMA!"

"GYAH!" I yelped.

"Jeez, snap out of it, will ya? We've got a big situation." Ryuji informed me.

"Ha ha ha... sorry. I'm... still trying to take it all in."

< Emma's POV >

"Man, that antenna on your head doesn't give you any reception in your brain, huh?" Aoba jokes.

Man he's such a jerk, I still can't forgive him after that last trial! I stuck my tongue out at him, but he just turns and ignores me. We seriously need to do something about that guy...

"We're really stuck in here until a murder happens, huh? No food or water either..." I heard Ishigami being gloomy.

"Seems like it, and no other visible option is available to us at the moment." Alice frowns.

"Eh... the person controlling that bear is a real sicko." Sucy stated.

"Given how large this school building is, I doubt that there isn't one other way out of it. Something to unlock that large metal vault door? An underground pathway?" Killua thinks.

"I agree with Killua, this place is HUGE. There must be something we can use, instead of just giving in and killing each other!" I said to everyone.
