Chapter 1: Hell is Other People, Part II (Daily Life)

----

*DING DONG BING BONG*

Those were the words I heard blasting from the screen in my room.

Monokuma: Well, rise and shine! 7AM has officially arrived, and all rooms locked during nighttime are once again open for access! Treat this daytime with the utmost care, everyone! Upupupu~

Oh. It was time for me to get up. Time for me to wash my face. Time for me to brush my teeth, get my clothes on, and leave the dorm room, back to this weird world me and the crew have found ourselves in.

The tinfoil left on Mayu's doorstep was gone now. And in the doorway I saw a pleasantly surprising sight - Mayu herself, having a little chat with Nanae.

Mayu: Th-thank you for the snack. I honestly expected nobody to treat such a worthless piece of trash I am with some kindness, but...

Nanae: You're welcome! And, on another note, are you going to meet up with the rest of us? In the mess hall? Shuya said that it would be a good idea. Y'know, to share what we found?

She looked aside for a moment to consider, then nodded in approval. The two of them left together - even after Mayu pushed away Nanae's hand when the baker offered to go hand in hand with her. Maybe she didn't like being touched. I decided to follow them.

The mess hall had already become a place of hustle and bustle. Most of us had gathered around underneath the canopy, where a day sky shined upon us. I had the suspicion that it was too good to be true. Masato must have thought the same way, as he turned up long after everyone else made their debut. And once we were all gathered together, Kira began her speech.

Kira: Alrightie then, now that we're all gathered together, let's talk about yesterday. What did you find?

Chie: A laundry room, ribbit! It'll allow us to clean all of our clothes, croak!

Usagi: An incinerator - to burn up all of the useless stuff we don't need anymore.

Nanae: I think I saw a bathhouse? Could clean ourselves up-

Masato: A blocked-off stairwell.

Tetsuo: Hmm? Explicar.

Masato: Wandered off by myself, found a set of stairs with tape in front of them. Didn't dare cross 'em. Could've been fired. Or worse, killed.

Mayu: ...

Ukyo: Where do we go from here, I wonder? After all, if anybody does decide to follow the bear's advice on trying to kill one of us, then I'll have my work cut out for me.

Iori: But what if you're the victim, Ukyo?

Sasuke: Well, Ukyo's a target. He can easily tell when and how people died-

Homura: And what does that have to do with the Killing Game?

Sasuke: Culprits could easily get rid of him, heh!

Kira: So, we need a way to stop that from happening?

Shuya: And I propose taking some time out just to have chats with one another.

Masato: Do you honestly believe we're capable of that?!

Shuya: Yes. We can become friends! Free of charge, as well!

Shouko: Huh? Make friends? We're not here to make friends - we're here to get out of here!

Shuya: I know. I don't want any of you on my conscience. That's why I proposed what I've just proposed.
