(Alt POV) "What?! What the hell was that?!" Monokuma asks. "Was that...?" Hina asks. "Yeah. It was Alter ego." Ishani says. "I thought that thing was dead!" Hiro says. "Apparently not." Byakuya says. "Wait a minute? Did he cause a virus? He must of done that when he infiltrated the network! Dang it!" Monokuma yells, banging his head on one of the desks. "Looks like your plan went astray." Kyoko says. "Or did it? There's nothing but trash down there! It would be a slow and painful death! Maybe the best execution yet! That's if he survived the fall! Ahahahaha!" Monokuma says.

"I wouldn't celebrate just yet. Unless we see a physical corpse, there's a chance he's still alive." Ishani points out. "You! I've got a whole lot of questions for you!" Byakuya says. "Agreed." Kyoko says. "What the heck has been going on with you Isha?!" Leon asks. "Look, I don't even have a damn clue myself. Ever since I got smacked in the head, I've been getting these weird visions or dreams." Ishani explains. "Like what?" Byakuya asks.

I'm"I dunno. Makes no sense to me. But I can tell it's important. Everything that has happened, all of these weird places in the school, they all connect somehow. I'm on the verge of figuring it out, I swear. Once I do figure it out, I'm going to destroy you Monokuma. Then, I'm coming for the person controlling you." Ishani says. "That's some big words there, Twinkle Toes! Good luck! Uphuphuphu!" Monokuma says. (End of alt POV)

It's dark and smells awful when I finally open my eyes again. Where the heck am I? Then I remember. I was executed. But Alter ego saved me and I fell down here and passed out. I must get out of here. I get off the pile of trash I landed on and run to the door. It's locked. I guess I can't get out that easily.

I try to look for something to eat or drink, but everything is inedible. But, as long as I'm alive, I'll never give up. I'll always have hope. I should preserve my energy. I find a relatively clean newspaper and lay down on a semi clean slab of concrete. I'm about to drift off when I hear something fall not too far away. I rush to it. It's a bag. Inside is food, water, a blanket, some first aid stuff and a note. I pick it up. Here.

This should be useful. Can't have you dying yet. Someone needs to lead us losers. Well, besides Taka. -Ishani.

I drink the water and eat the food. Thank goodness for her. If I ever escape this place, I'll make sure I make it up to her. I grab the blanket and try to sleep again. But, I'm awoken by a loud thump. "Is it another bag from Ishani? No, it's too big. It must just be some oversize garbage." I think aloud. The garbage moves. "Oversized garbage? How rude." Kyoko says, coming out of the garbage. "Kyoko!" I say.

"You look a lot better than I'd expected." Kyoko says. "All thanks to Ishani. She sent a bag of stuff down here sometime ago." I say. "I remember her making something like that. I was a bit surprised." Kyoko says. "What are you doing down here?" I ask. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to save you." Kyoko says. Happiness swells within me. "Thanks- Uh, Kyoko, you've got some trash on your head." I say, I say, pointing to the cup of noodles overturned on her head. "Oh. Here, you should eat again. We'll talk after." Kyoko says, handing a bag similar to the one from Ishani.

"Thanks. I was starting to get hungry again." I say, drinking some more water. "I knew you wouldn't give up." Kyoko says. "Of course. Being optimistic is the only thing I'm good at." I say. "I abandoned you to further my ambitions..." Kyoko begins. "Don't worry about it. The mastermind who locked us here is to blame. Not you." I say. "Makoto. Mukuro Ikusaba wasn't supposed to die in the first place. You were." Kyoko reveals.

"Me?" I ask. "According to what Ishani's said, then yes. You should have some sort of idea about this." Kyoko says. "That night before her murder. She went to attack me and Ishani saved me." I say. "Correct. Ishani was also attacked, but it failed. She told us that the plan was probably to kill her and you, and frame me for it and get me executed." Kyoko says. "But since the mastermind couldn't kill me or Ishani..." I say.
