"...BLRGBLRBLGHBLRBLGH!" Monophanie began throwing up after the execution had finished.

"Wh-Why Monodam...? Why did you kill Monosuke...?" Monotaro asked, terrified of his own brother. Monotaro then began to vomit too. Seriously, what is up with these bears?

"IF YOU NEED TO VOMIT...LET IT OUT. YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER AFTERWARDS." Monodam told his siblings as he patted them on the back. "MONOSUKE... HE WAS NO DIFFERENT FROM MONOKID. HE WAS GETTING IN THE WAY...OF US GETTING ALONG. WE DON'T NEED HIM."

"D-Don't need him...?" Monotaro stuttered.

"WE FEW REMAINING MONOKUBS...MUST GET ALONG." Monodam said. "NO MATTER WHAT...WE MUST ALWAYS GET ALONG. NOT EVEN FATHER CAN STOP US FROM GETTING ALONG. NOT IF HE KNOWS WHAT'S GOOD FOR HIM."

"Eh?" Monokuma gasped nervously.

"THIS ACADEMY BELONGS TO US... THE AGE OF THE MONOKUBS BEGINS NOW." Monodam laughed happily. "...HA HA HA HA." Monodam then left, leaving his siblings shaking in their metaphorical boots.

"...BLRGBLRBLGHBLRBLGH!" Monophanie continued to throw up, as expected, as she and Monotaro also left. These cubs really are useless. They're even worse than annoying now.

"H-How dare you take that rebellious tone with me, young man..." Monokuma said nervously, sweat dripping down his entire fluffy body. "And yet, this angsty attitude of yours is just so cute! It's so cute how your little crew has shrunk by one member! Yep, shrunk! You're not getting any larger, y'know!? Ahhh... It's so unbearably cute... All this cuteness makes me feel like I'm about to sneeze..." Monokuma then did as he said and sneezed, blowing himself up in the process.

Annoying... So annoying...

Those were the only words Maki could describe them as. That's all they were. She wouldn't even consider them threats if it wasn't for the Exisals they had. Maki then turned to her classmates, who weren't taking the execution very well.

"Ghhh... Kiyo!" Gonta cried out.

"I...I can't take this anymore... Even Kiyo was killed so brutally..." Kokichi whined before he started bawling, once again... "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMOOORE!"

"A-Am I...gonna end up like that too...?" Himiko asked as she tried to stop her tears from forming.

"I-I won't let that happen, Himiko! I'll protect you, no matter what!" Tenko promised through her own tears. "I'll protect you, no matter what... B-But...I don't wanna do this anymore either... Please...let's just stop this killing game... I don't care if we stay trapped here forever..."

"...Oh? So you're starting to believe that as well?" Angie asked softly. "Isn't that what I said we should do? Atua says that all desire, even your desire to escape this place, can corrupt you beyond redemption."

"It's Monokuma who is corrupt. He is the one who distributed the motive videos." Keebo argued.

"We...really screwed up this time." Kaede muttered as she clutched her arm. "Those videos were far more dangerous than we ever could have imagined. To think it drove Kiyo to such madness."

"What worries me is, as long as we're trapped here, we don't know what's true or false." Maki sighed.

"That's the problem, isn't it? We're still completely in the dark when it comes to all the information we have about our situation and lack thereof." Rantaro noted.

"There wasn't anything we could do against this motive." Shuichi grimaced. "Whether we watched it or not, at least one of us would have been consumed with that same murderous rage Kiyo was fueled by."
