Hajime was finally seeing his reflection in the microwave screen. Until a few seconds later where the lights began flickering rapidly, then he saw the guy in long hair, but with glowing red eyes and walking slowly in the darkness.
Hajime: "Nope!"
Hajime pushed through the door to see the tables shaking as if there was an earthquake. He then say the blacked hair figure approaching from the side, Hajime rushed right out of the diner only to see him right outside. Hajime stopped in his tracks and attempted to roundhouse kick the figure, but it suddenly turned out to be Gundham, who blocked the kick.
Gundham: "A decent kick, but were you challenging me?"
Hajime: "No. Sorry about that... I think I've been on this island too long..."
Gundham: "A vision? Who knows why you've seen said imagery."
Hajime: "Hell if I know."
Gundham: "It is quite possible it won't be only once. Beware of future visions."
Hajime: "I'll keep it in mind."
Gundham was about to leave but turned back to Hajime. However a soon to be familiar sound rang through the area.
DING DONG BONG BING
Monokuma (Announcement): "Attention everyone! Please gather at the fountain once again for a special announcement!"
Hajime: "Great. What does he want now?"
Gundham and Hajime made their way to the fountain. Everyone had already gathered around and Monokuma didn't seem entirely happy.
Monokuma: "This just sucks! It's been too many since that motive was sent out, and not a single murder has occurred!"
Fuyuhiko: "And we're supposed to care... why?"
Monokuma: "Well, while I was waiting for someone to finally kill someone, I decided to throw in a bonus trial!"
Everyone showed a lot of dislike to this idea, knowing they'd have to do another trial without someone even dying.
Hajime: "That is some serious Live Game Show bullshit and I am not hear for it."
Monokuma: "I heard that!"
Hajime did not care.
Monokuma: "So now our bonus trial, will be trying to solve the mystery of, Twilight Syndrome! That's all for now! Be sure to use your time wisely!"
Then once again... he was gone.
Fuyuhiko: "So we now have a murder case based on a motive. Well that's fucking wonderful."
Kazuichi: "So what, we all gotta play the game!?"
Peko: "Not necessarily. Shouldn't we just need people who have played the game and any given evidence?"
Kazuichi: "Oh good, so that means I don't have to pay it."
Hiyoko: "Yeah! You're just so scared that y-"
Chiaki: "So, who's going to play it."
Hajime: "I'll play it."
Ibuki: "Woah! The buff-meister of arrows is gonna take on the challenge of the mysterious arcade game!?"
Gundham: "I believe you mean archer."
Sonia: "I mean, both would be acceptable, I think."
Akane: "Hold on, buff?"
Mikan's face grew a bit pink.
Mikan: "Y-Yeah h-he was... umm..."
Ibuki: "Buff! You could grind meat on those abs!"
Hajime: "I'm just gonna go play the game."
Hajime made his way to the Twilight Syndrome game only to find Sora, looking very puzzled.
Hajime: "Something the matter?"
Sora: "Everything about this game feels similar to me. The characters, the setting, all of it. But it's mostly shadows..."
Hajime: "Except for that picture you got."
Sora: "Yeah. The only issue is that I don't think it's related."
Hajime: "Here. Let me try."
Hajime turned up the game and his character was extremely hard to identify. He or she looked like a complete shadow. After some time of talking to various characters, a situation rose where she received an S.O.S signal from her pocket, telling the main character to run to a tower.
Sora: "I couldn't find another ending to this part..."
Chiaki: "I did."
Both students stared at Chiaki who was right behind the two.
Chiaki: "Do you see that panel on the side in the game?"
Hajime: "Yeah. Should I use it?"
Chiaki nodded and Hajime went up to it, it then pulled up a message, asking for a code of some sorts.
Hajime: "Code?"
Sora: "Damn. I doubt either of us have something for that."
Chiaki: "There is. Hajime, about the main character... who do they remind you of?"
Hajime: "Who do they remind me of..?"
Hajime though a while to think about it, the curious attitude, yet brave. Blunt and quite a tease. He then realized it.
Hajime: "Kinda reminds me of Sora- wait..."
Hajime used the joystick to input a letter into each for slots, spelling the name "Sora". This code opened up a small hole in the floor in the game.
Sora: "Why is my name a password?"
Hajime: "And does it just make a hole?"
Hajime moved the character to the hole and everything colored in as well as appearances. Causing a very familiar face on the protagonist...
