Kaede's POV:
The room shook violently, I struggled to push myself back onto my feet. My vision was blurry, and my stomach did somersaults as explosions rang through my sensitive hearing. I was hungry, only just now becoming aware of just how much pain my body was in.
"Need to get- get to...Shuichi.." I was able to muster my goal, my throat burned with every syllable I pushed out. But that was the least of my concerns.
In the flashback light memories, Shuichi, Maki, Himiko, Keebo, and...Tsumugi seem to still be alive...I pray I can get to them before it's too late. If not...I don't even want to imagine what horrible things Tsumugi has in mind.
With newfound determination I pressed on, ignoring the pain that shot up my body with every step. Where am I exactly..? I'm no longer in the same room as before, I'm in the hallway maybe? But wait, I shouldn't walk so in the open if I want to surprise her and get to them!
As if on cue, a wall was blasted down in front of me, I tripped over myself in surprise but quickly recovered as I ducked under the fragment seeing as it was laid against the wall which left a small crawl space.
Suddenly, I heard the hum of a certain cosplayer...I froze in place, trying my best to slow my staggered breathing as much as possible. "Oh my, it seems another one has left and gone to places they shouldn't have. Another nuisance I'm expected to take care of of course." Tsumugi sighed loudly, a chill went down my spine. Another? She must be talking about me...My breath hitched, I slapped my hand over my mouth. Tsumugi snapped her head around with an excited expression before shrugging, "My imagination I suppose."
The moment the sound of her shoes was far away I exhaled loudly, finally letting out the breath I was holding in. Could this mean the other 'dead' might be alive like me? Unconscious and lost somewhere in this prison of an academy? Did she catch one of them? I had so many unanswered questions, but I couldn't answer them no matter how hard I tried. Suddenly I felt like crying, if they didn't make it, how can I? No, don't think like that me! No matter what we have to get to Shuichi, I don't care if she finds and kills me after I just need to warn him!
I emerged from under the piece with hope rising as the seconds passed, I ran down the hall, determined to find anyone, anything that could help. I stopped in my tracks, did I just see..? I peeked back into the flashback light room and held in my breath. There he was, Shuichi. He confusingly maneuvered himself through the process of making a flashback light. He must be investigating...Wait! His hat, it was off. A single strand of hair stood in it's place, so he has one just like me...I couldn't tell you why, but i was speechless, so I just stood there, admiring the sight of him. Suddenly, hands wrapped around me.
I choked out as the assailant wrapped their hand on my mouth and squeezed my neck harshly. I kicked, and tried to scream, but only muffled ones slightly suffused. I couldn't escape! They slowly brought what I assume was chloroform to my mouth. I shook my head. I pushed back onto them but it proved fruitless. They swiftly removed their hand. Pressing the chloroform against my mouth. As I fell unconscious the familiar voice whispered, "How disappointing, maybe you could've helped...oh the despair!"
No! No! No! That's Tsumugi...I can't lose...I can't...no, please...I'm so...so...clo...
And just like that, it all went black.
