Leon killed Sayaka... Monokuma killed Junko... Then Leon got executed... Then Mondo killed Chihiro... And then he got executed... Hifumi killed Taka...then Taeko killed Hifumi... Then *she* got executed... And that brings us up to now...
The next morning, in the dining hall...the day after Taeko's case, I met up with the others. I had left Taeko's ring in my room, knowing that putting it on now would be a bit distasteful. Makoto, Hiro, Hina, Kyoko, and Sakura were already there.
"Good morning everyone...", I greeted.
"So now there's only six of us here...", Hina sighed.
"Only a third of the number of people we started with...", Hiro muttered.
"Loneliness has become commonplace.", Kyoko shrugged.
"That's true...", Sakura nodded. Makoto was a little quiet, staring at Sakura deep in thought.
"Makoto, you okay?", I asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. He turned to me, a little red in the face.
"Ah--! N-No, I'm fine...!"
"Alright..."
I wonder what's gotten him so deep in thought.
"Okay! In that case, let's eat till we pass out!", Hina grinned.
"Whaddya mean, "In that case"?", Hiro asked.
"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!"
"That's like a Deep Impact style, meteor impact, extinction level event combination of foods..."
"What!? Those are both breakfast time top sellers!"
"Still, the "till we can't stand up" part is a problem. After we're done, we need to go explore .", Kyoko pointed out.
"That's right. Since the class trial is over, new areas should have opened up...", Sakura noted.
"Plus, Alter Ego is still with us. We can't give up now!", I grinned.
"She's right... We have to plan ahead and think about the future!", Makoto backed me up.
"Yeah, yeah! Think happy thoughts! Not deathy thoughts!", Hina nodded vigorously.
"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 stuttered.
"Hey, are you okay? That sounds like something someone who's about to die would say..."
"I'm totally okay! I'm not gonna die! Why? Cuz there aren't gonna be any more murders!"
"Huh? What makes you so sure...?"
"I predicted it last night! Since it revealed itself to me from the ether, there's no doubt about it!"
"...How accurate is your fortune-telling, anyway?", Sakura asked.
"I can usually hit twenty or thirty percent on a good day!", Hiro revealed.
"That seems...really low.", Hina muttered.
"Well, yeah! It's not like it's ESP or whatever. Of course I'm only gonna get it right sometimes! I told you, my fortune-telling isn't like some occult thing!"
"Fortune-telling...isn't occult?"
"Of course not! Clairvoyance is clarivoyance! Don't put it in the same category as cattle mutilation!"
