"Come Little Children
The Time's Come To Play
Here In My Garden
Of Shadows..."

The mood in Hope Peak High was a sombre one. The events of the previous day weighed heavily in everyone's mind. Fuyu was affected the most: His girlfriend was dead. But it was worse. His friends were still in danger, and they had just witnessed four horrendous deaths.

While they were eating breakfast, Luna asked;

"Soda, why did you vomit when you witnessed Koizumi get her neck snapped?"

"I have motion sickness," Soda said.

"What?" asked Luna.

Soda told her that he couldn't drive half the things he made and this motion sickness could get triggered if he witnessed death or found a body.

"So that's why you threw up everywhere," realized Luna.

"I've got a story to tell," said Junko.

Junko stood on the platform and gets out a heavy book.

"Ghost stories," Junko read the title. She opened the book and began reading.

Junko: Centuries ago, a man named Spider Pickles lived next to this very school. Spider was a very wealthy man (nobility in fact) and he had three children. Spider didn't have a job, so he stayed at home and provided the cooking and things to his family. Life was perfect... until it wasn't. One day, Spider was told:

'Mr Pickles, your house is in debt. In three years, the bank will take the house away and its contents with it.'

It was true. Each season their remaining savings dwindled smaller and smaller. They sold all the animals and discharged all the servants. Three years later, they were penniless.

And the bank claimed the house and its contents.

They said that Spider went insane. They said that he stabbed his family and shot himself in the mouth.

A ghost now haunted the school.

From then on, Spider Pickles haunted Hope Peak High. Every night the ghost of the poor man wandered the rooms, with hair made of spiders, demanding money.

And each area of the school now had a terrifying story of its own.

But who's to say that they're right?

(She closes her book)

"That was scary," said Hinata as Junko put down the book.

"I have an idea," said Junko as she smiled.

She got a sack of flour and poured it all over herself.

Then she walked to the remaining students.

"I am the ghost of Spider Pickles," she said, "Give me money..."

Everyone was scared!

"Fooled you!" said Junko as she wiped the flour off her face. She shook herself off.

"Thank god it wasn't like Peko's execution..." groaned Luna as she was lost in thought...

Flashback 4

No one could bear to look. Charlotte closed her eyes and hugged Hinata, who decided not to do anything about it. He had his eyes closed as well. Luna closed her eyes and covered Olivia's. Soda turned his whole body away from the beatdown. Aka looked away. Nagito buried his head in his hands. Danielle and Ella closed their eyes while Tsubaki looked straight down at the ground. Only Fuyu watched the beatdown, and he was horrified.

"Peko!" he cried.

Then the curtains unfurled.

Everyone saw Peko's dead body.

The assassin was horribly injured. She had black-blue bruises all over her body, and both of her eyes were black. Both of her arms and legs were visibly broken.  Her clothes were ripped and torn, and they were stained in hot pink blood.

Her gun hadn't saved her!

She was lying in a pool of hot pink blood.

Fuyu was shocked.

"P-Peko!? My g-girlfriend! No! OH MY GOD NOOO! TH-THEY KILLED HER! THEY BEAT HER TO DEATH! YOU, YOU BASTARDS! Y-YOU MURDERERS! MY GIRL! M-MY GIRLFRIEND!"

Junko had watched alongside with Fuyu, and she was happy.

"8 girls dead!" She cheered.

Naomi looked horrified.

Mono smiled.

"That will be an easy cleanup." He said.

* END Flashback 4 *

"Charlie?" asked Hinata.

"Can I show you a surprise?"

"Yay!" Charlotte cheered, clapping her hands. "Who doesn't love a surprise?"

Hinata led Charlotte to a black room.

He locked the door.

"Now no one can hear us..." he said.

He got a knife.

"Time to die," he said.

He knocked Charlotte onto her back and pointed the knife straight at the confused girl's chest.

"Wait, stop! What's going on? I'm so conf-"

Hinata dropped the knife.

Victims: Sonia, Tia, Pippa, Louise, Charlotte

Execution Order: Himari, Nanami, Koizumi, Peko

Another song!

Oh, rescue me
Oh to be blessed with this godless mistake one
One day you soon will find
(Just a warning)
You're gonna pay for the abominations
It's only matter of time
I wait, I hope, I pray for better days
They seem so few and far between
The fear, the pain, this hate's it's not for me
We're not so different, can't you see?
Your lies will tear you apart
Will take you alive
Won't spare you at all
I tell you all your lies will tear you apart
I'm calling all to arms so everyone and all
It's time hear your voice
You've got the right
You better pray for your commiseration
You're almost out of time
(Just a warning)
Your fate is left to a different generation
You know they won't be kind
You take this hate and package it to sell
To victims of your great divide
You've no ca-pa-city to even feel
I hope you get this through your mind
Your lies will tear you apart
Will take you alive
Won't spare you at all
I tell you all your lies will tear you apart
I'm calling all to arms so everyone and all
It's time to hear your voice
Because now I won't let you
Just break me in two
There's no way that I would give in
Those words that you say
Of hate and dismay
Will lose you your place in the end
Your lies will tear you apart
I'll tell you all your lies will tear you apart
I'm calling all to arms so everyone and all
It's time to hear your voice
You've got the right
