Kokichi and Maki summarily returned.

Kokichi was carrying a stack of six videos. He put them on the floor in front of the class.

Kaito eyed them warily.

Kokichi picked up his video and cradled it to his chest, before grinning smarmily at everyone.

"All right! It's time to watch my video! Huddle together and stare at the tiny screen!" He declared.

Monodam appeared.

"Do you want the main TV?" The small robot asked.

Himiko winced and bit her lip.

"Umm. Thanks for offering...but I don't think so." Kaito said quickly.

Monodam nodded and then vanished.

Everyone crowded together.

Kokichi held up his video and fingered the play button.

"Wait! Are you going to tell everyone what you told me? About your video?" Kaito pressed.

"Why should I?" Kokichi countered.

Kaito sighed.

"Ouma received his own video. He is the counterpart to Tojo." He revealed.

Several people narrowed their eyes at the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Even Kirumi.

Kokichi pouted and glared childishly at Kaito.

"So, this little shit received his own video, but I didn't?" Miu complained.

"Iruma-san, you know that our videos were mixed up to sow discord among us. In this instance, Monokuma's machinations are quite obvious." Korekiyo corrected her.

Miu clammed up.

"Umm.... But why did Ouma get his own video?" Kiibo said.

"Monokuma must've planned it that way. To manipulate us." Ryoma deadpanned.

"It doesn't matter now. Look- Ouma is willing to share his video with us. Let's watch it and see what all the fuss is about." Kaito said, swallowing a yawn. He was really, really, tired. The day had taken a toll on him. But it wasn't over yet. He had to stay strong until the end.

"Yeah! Get ready! Here it comes!" Kokichi cheered.

He pressed play.

Kaito craned his neck forward, focusing on the small screen. For some reason, he was really interested in Kokichi's video. Far more than he thought he would be.
