As the days went by, everyone acted as usual. Kokichi would choose someone different each day to prank by somehow making their breakfast explode. Chihiro has yet to be affected by this, luckily for him. As they were quietly eating, Chihiro typing on his laptop that was in his room, waiting for someone's breakfast to inevitably explode, Nagito popped a big question

"So, do you think anyone will murder soon? I have a feeling Monokuma will add a second motive if not"

Ryoma begrudgingly responded, despite the protest from his inner monologue

"Somethin' like that happened in the Killing Game Rantaro, Tenko, Angie, Miu, and Kokichi and I were in"

Rantaro responded

"Yeah. Sad I was the victim that time, but whatever. I have a second chance to live, as do all of us. Even so, I'm not sure if anyone will act on this opportunity"

Taka enthusiastically stood up

"I sure hope nobody act on it! After our experiences, we should all know better than to try it!"

Sayaka nervously stood up as well

"I did try to murder someone in the Killing Game I was in, but it didn't turn out the way I was expecting. Nevertheless, I have learned from it"

Kokichi slithered over to her

"Well, I don't exactly believe you. If you try killing once, you are likely to do it again. Do you really trust this siren, who was willing to kill to escape? A killer is a killer, and no killer can be redeemed"

When Chihiro heard that last line, thinking of Mondo, he suddenly was overcome by an irrational force of rage, but it was swiftly cut off by the feeling of his morning cereal being rocketed into his face, his hearing being completely blotted out for a swift moment before returning, his laptop being drenched as the screen suddenly shut off, as the milk from the bowl caused it to malfunction, and the sound of unremorseful laughter coming from a certain psychotic, white clad, living grape

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA, YOU SHOULD SEE THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE, CHIHIRO!"

Silence befell everyone, even Chihiro himself

"Wait, why are none of you even reacting? I was expecting a reaction"

after a long time of waiting, a single tear came from Chihiro's eyes

"That was..................not the reaction I was expecting"

Taka immediately ran up to him, and grabbed him by the collar

"You idiot! is that the reaction you wanted!? Do you have no shame?!"

"Jeez, it's just a prank, no reason to get so mad"

Chihiro suddenly silently got up and walked to his room. Sakura was quite distraught

"Chihiro? Is everything alright?"

With no response, he entered his room and locked the door

"See!? Look what you did, you little gremlin!!"

"Come oooooon. It was just a prank. Guys?"

Kokichi looking at the rest, got no sympathy, as everyone looked away, not making eye contact

"hmph. Some people just can't take a joke"

Kokichi walked away as well. With Hiyoko of all people standing up
