"TUBBO! HE'S DEAD!"

My eyes widen. D... Did someone really kill Tubbo for cash? My blood turned cold as I run behind Ranboo.

"A... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scream.

Ranboo covers his eyes as he cries. Who would do this?! And tubbo?! Of all people why did it need to be him?!

Sapnap runs over after hearing me scream.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yells.

Everyone else shows up now. Tommy pushes us out the way and sees Tubbo 'Hanging out.'

"W... What the f*ck..." Tommy pushes through us once again and runs away, Crying.

"A body has been discovered! After about 4 hours, Which you may use however you'd like, A class trial will begin! Goodluck~!"

"God-D*mmit, This was for the f*cking prize money, Wasn't it?!" I turn my head and look at Sapnap, He looks seriously mad. "And what the f*ck is this "You're Next" bullsh*t?! The killer going soft on us?"

"Sapnap, Calm dow-" I get cut off.

"I'M NOT GONNA F*CKING CALM DOWN! DO YOU NOT REALIZE?! 6 OF OUR FRIENDS DIED! BOOM! NEVER COMING BACK! IS THIS JUST SOME GAME TO YOU?!"

"I..."

"I'll be in my room."

Sapnap precedes to walk off. Dream dying must've really set him off, He hasn't been the same since. I know he can yell and scream, But this is just not normal. I'm starting to worry about him.

Ranboo seems to be crying off in a corner, Tommy is nowhere to be found, And sapnap's in his room, Is no one caring about the trial? Or are they respecting tubbo's wishes of letting the killer win?

I investigate the body.

Tubbo seems to have died from multiple blows to the head. Must've been battered with something. Behind his body, written in blood, it says "YOU'RE NEXT".

The only person participating, Karl, Walks around the room looking at stuff. I ask him if he knows anything.

"Oh! Uh, sorry! Haven't seen anything noteworthy, Heh.. heh.."

Hmm. I'll check around the room too.

Geez! The killer really left nothing to find. I'm gonna go look for Tommy, I'm getting worried.

I walk around everywhere, Yet I can't find him. Then, I pass by the stairs. Remembering what he said to me. I walk toward the 'Game room' he was talking about. It's locked, so I try to call out to him.

"Tommy? Is everything okay?" I call out.

"Go away!" I hear back. At least I found him, I guess.

"Tommy, I need information from you."

"Is that all I'm good for now?!" Sounds like he's... Crying?

"Tommy, Are you okay?"

He opens the door slightly so i can only see his face and nothing else.

"Why do you care? Leave me alone."

"Do you know anything? This is life or death right now, I need you to be serious."

"I... I know something... But I'm not f*cking telling you!"

He slams the door in my face.

I sigh and leave. There was no point in trying. He wasn't budging and neither was the door. I walk back downstairs and see ranboo.

"Ranboo, Do you know anything?"

He takes one look at me and runs off. What's wrong with everyone today? I guess tubbos death just pushed everyone to their breaking point. Well, I guess there is only one person left to talk to.

I knock.

"Sapnap? Is everything okay in there?"

No answer.

"Nick?"

No answer, Again.

I Didn't wanna barge into his room like this, But he leaves me with no choice.

"George? Leave, I don't wanna see your face."

Sapnap is sitting on his bed, Knees on his chest. One hand on his Legs, One hand on the back of his neck.

"... I just... Don't wanna die." I respond.

"But you wanna watch your friends die from your own hands?!"

"I... I guess. Bye sapnap."

I leave his room awkwardly. I don't know anymore.

"Hey, uh... this is more boring than watching paint dry. So, It's time to do the trial, I guess." Monokuma says over the speaker.

I walk up to the red doors on floor 1. I see Karl, Ranboo, And sapnap show up, But where's Tommy?

"Alright, you famous b*tches, I can't do this right now. Where is Donald trump look-a-like?" Monkuma shows up from nowhere.

"I... Don't... Care..."I turn and see sapnap shaking, Fists clenched, and looking at the floor. "I don't care who you are... I don't know anything about you... But I don't care. I will kill you, and then grind you up until you're unrecognizable. YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Sapnap looks back up. He's crying like he's gone insane. He points at monokuma, Filled with rage."I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS! NOT ANYMORE! YOU'RE INSANE!"

"Slow your roll, Nick. I don't go without a fight."

Sapnap looks at his open hands, Clearly not sane. He starts to kick monokuma, But before he can...

"S-STOP!" Tommy appears. He reaches his arm out, Signalling a stop motion. "Sapnap, You do that, You die! Dont let it get to your head!" Tommy? He's suddenly acting like a whole new person.

"Let's just get this over with."
