So let's go over who's died.
Leon killed Sayaka.
Monokuma killed Junko or Mukuro in disguise.
Leon got executed.
Then Mondo killed Chihiro.
Mondo got executed.
Hifumi killed Taka then Celeste killed Hifumi.
Then she got executed.
And that brings us up to now.
I was in the dining hall with the last ones.
Kyoko Kirigiri, Byakuya Togami, Toko Fukawa, Makoto Naegi, Sakura Ogami, Aoi Asahina, Yasuhiro Hagakure.
Then theres me
Galxia Akumu or Star Moonlight.
So that's six. Soon to be five.
"So now there's only six of us here..."
Hina said
"Only a third of the number of people we started with..."
Hiro said
"Loneliness has become commonplace."
Kyoko said
"That't true..."
Sakura said
I trust Sakura a bit less now knowing she's the traitor.
M-maybe they were just acting!
Yeah no they were so fighting!
Both of you shut the hell up.
Sorry!
"Galxia, Makoto, are you both okay?"
Sakura said
I shook my head a little
"Yeah we're alright."
I said
We can't bring this up right now.
"Okay! In that case, let's eat till we pass out!"
Hina said
"Whaddya mean, 'In that case'?"
Hiro said
"Well, cuz look how scary everyone looks! It's gotta be cuz you're all fighting on empty stomachs, right? If you fill your belly, I'm sure you'll all cheer up! So, let's eat! Let's fry up some fish and donuts and eat till we can't stand up!"
Hina said
"That's like a Deep Impact style, meteor impact, extinction level event combination of foods..."
Hiro said
"What!? Those are both breakfast time top sellers!"
Hina said
I look away.
"Still, the 'till we can't stand up' part is a problem. After we're done, we need to go explore."
Kyoko said
"That's right. Since the class trial is over, new areas should have opened up..."
Sakura said
"Plus, we still have Alter Ego. We don't have to give in to despair just yet."
Kyoko said
"Like I would ever!"
I said
"She's right... We have to plan ahead and think about the future!"
Makoto said
"Yeah, yeah! Think happy thoughts! Not deathy thoughts!"
Hina said
"Like when we're gonna get outta here, right? When this is all over... I think I wanna get reborn for serious. Er—I mean, reborn AS someone serious..."
Hiro said
"Hey, are you okay? That sounds like something someone who's about to die would say..."
Hina said
"I'm totally okay! I'm not gonna die! Why? Cuz there aren't gonna be any more murders!"
Hiro said
"Huh? What makes you so sure...?"
Hina said
"I predicted it last night! Since it revealed itself to me from the ether, there's no doubt about it!"
Hiro said
"How accurate is your fortune-telling, anyway?"
Sakura said
"I can usually hit twenty or thirty percent on a good day!"
Hiro said
"That seems...really low."
Hina said
"Agreed. Even the possibilities I see are higher then that but it really depends."
I said
"Well, yeah! It's not like it's ESP like Galxia has or whatever. Of course I'm only gonna get it right sometimes!"
Hiro said
"I wouldn't really call it ESP but whatever."
I said
"I told you, my fortune-telling isn't like some occult thing!"
Hiro said
"Fortune-telling...isn't occult?"
Hina said
"No."
I said
"Of course not! Clairvoyance is clarivoyance! Don't put it in the same category as cattle mutilation!"
Hiro said
"Cattle... What?"
Hina said
"He's referring to the urban legend where aliens abduct cows and dissect them as part of their research."
Kyoko said
"No...! You're calling it an urban legend!? As a matter of fact, it's true... As a matter of fact, it's happened to me! It all happened one day when I went to go get a hamburger... It was a place I'd never been before. They claimed their patties were 100% all beef... So I got a burger to go and headed home. And before long...the sky was filled with a mysterious blinding light! Some crazy beam came out of nowhere and locked on to my hamburger! And as soon as the beam touched it, the burger started floating in mid-air...! And then, still floating there, the entire burger started coming apart! One part of it just vanished, while the rest fell back into my hand...! Do you realize what that means? It means, the burger wasn't 100% beef! It must've had some pork or something mixed in... Something like seventy percent pork and thirty percent beef, would be my guess. So I stormed back into the burger place and got up in the manager's grill. And they totally admitted it... It WASN'T 100% beef! They totally mixed in ground pork with it! Now do you see!? THAT is cattle mutilation!"
Hiro said
"I...kinda got lost halfway through..."
Makoto said
"Yeah same here."
I said
"I can't tell if you're for the occult or against it. You stink of stupidity..."
Hina said
"I stink of—!? How dare you!?"
Hiro said
"Well, you do stink, though."
Hina said
"That's fine!"
Hiro said
"That's fine!?"
Hina said
"U-Umm...anyway... I hope your prediction turns out to be true..."
Makoto said
"Well, at the very least, I won't murder anyone!"
Hiro said
"Me either! I mean, I would never!"
Hina said
"Me either..."
Sakura said
"Nor I."
Kyoko said
"That goes for us too, of course. We could never kill any of our friends!"
Makoto said
"To be honest, I wish Byakuya and Toko were here for this, too."
Sakura said
"But...they're so hard to deal with. They only think about themselves."
Hina said
"Yeah, we're better off without 'em, I say..."
Hiro said
"I see."
I said
After we were all done eating we began our search, me going with Makoto.
We need to find out what's on the floor that opened up.
We went up the stairs to the fourth floor.
"Maybe this time, we'll find some kind of clue... No! This time I HAVE to find it!"
Makoto said
We went to a door and tried to open it but it was locked.
Yeah I could pick the lock but that would be boring because it's a data center.
We went to another room, to be precise the music room.
