...

I only barely manage to register that the weekend, or three nights have passed, from the colors of the light that shone through the window all this time, over Tojo-san's body. There might've been some more false thoughts Akamatsu-san put into my head that were just the same few sentences over and over again, but I really couldn't have given less of a shit. She looks disgusting right now, remind me how exactly people manage to be necrophiles again?

Akamatsu-san and Iruma-san have to come into the clubroom for the festival sooner or later, right? What does Miss President have in store for this world now? What is she going to do to me, knowing that my spirit is almost entirely broken from being trapped in here all weekend? Maybe I'll get an instant death? That'd be nice...

Some more time passes, and I see Iruma-san walk in. "Yo, Saihara, you ready to get this festival shit over with so we can go and grab some fried eel? I'm honestly kinda surprised you had it in ya to show up before me -- eeeeeekkkkkk!!!" And, there's the trauma on her face from seeing a dead body of one of your friends. I remember how I felt when I first saw her dead body too; can't say I'm really all too jealous of you right now.

She runs out of the clubroom, vomit already trailing onto her dress, as Akamatsu-san makes her way in.

"Hey, I just saw Iruma-san run past me like she'd seen a ghost, did something happen..?" She looks over at Tojo-san. "Oh...oh. Ahahahahahaha! Was the script really broken that badly? I'm super sorry, he really wasn't supposed to be stuck in here this entire weekend!" Who are you talking to, did you somehow manage to go crazy yourself while you were fucking with us?

"It might actually be better this way, though, because he wasn't supposed to interfere like that." she says, taking a look at the dried blood in my hand. "But I guess being here for so long caused him to go through derealization, so much so that he's just braindead at this point. I guess it all worked out!" Now wait just a minute, you think that I can't hear a thing you're saying right now, because the trauma should've made me go numb? Things just got interesting again. While I am completely frozen, unable to move a single muscle in my body, I'm far from paralyzed. But I think I should take advantage of this to a greater degree... if she divulges that much information unintentionally, I might have a chance to get the whole story down, now that she thinks she's safe.

"Still, though, for you to have to endure Saihara-kun's shocked state the entire weekend, that was a little much, wasn't it? Let me make it up to you, okay?" She snaps her fingers, and I suddenly see a black screen to my left, near the ceiling, typing out commands on its own, almost as if prompted by Akamatsu-san's actions.

os.remove("characters/kirumi.chr")

kirumi.chr deleted successfully.

os.remove("characters/miu.chr")

miu.chr deleted successfully.

And suddenly, Tojo-san's body disappears out of thin air. I can't understand a single bit of what's going on right now, but that can't be possible, right..?!

But, it would explain a lot of what's been going on right now. If what I'm seeing is true, I'm not stuck in a time loop, but a part of some greater conspiracy; this being a virtual program of some sort. I'm guessing that Tojo-san and Iruma-san happened to be AIs who could be removed easily with the right command. But, then, am I also...?

"I'm almost done, just hold on tight! I just want to have a slice of cherry pie real quick, since this is the last time I'll be able to.. before it kicks in and they stop existing and all... uh, where did I̸r̸u̵m̷a̵-̴s̴a̸n̷'s pie pans go again..?"

Why did Iruma-san's name suddenly glitch out like that when she said it? Wait, didn't Oma-san's name do the same a few days ago when I could've sworn that I saw her running towards me? That means that Oma-san was deleted from the world after she committed suicide. It can only be that Akamatsu-san tried to cover her death up so she could avoid her guilt or hatred from the others. Wow, for a blonde, she's actually kind of smart, because I loathe her with every fiber of my being.

"Alright, just bear with me, okay? This should only take a little longer." She smiles at me, but it feels like it was supposed to be aimed beyond me. Is there someone outside the program that she's trying to alert? And why would they want to show the viewer these atrocities?!

...Is she going to delete me, or does this mean I'm a real human being? I can feel myself fading away again, and I doubt Akamatsu-san would just pull the plug right here, so I hope that wherever I'm likely headed, I'll be able to put all the pieces together with the information I gain there. Just have to make sure not to somehow blow my cover while I'm at it. What's the harm in giving this one more shot...? Maybe I can manage to do something, even in my current state...
