Extraordinary Minds: Road to Hell

Chapter 28: Discourse

When Akira woke up in the morning after a rather hit or miss night of sleep, he woke up. The feeling of chills coursing through his body, despite how close he was to the boy who's arms he fell asleep in the night before.

The question in that moment however was...What happened last night? What was that sudden flash of a memory? Is it something he perhaps repressed? Does he have memories of the other students possibly?

So..many questions.

Sighing, Akira got up and went into his bathroom. Taking off his clothes, and hopping into the shower. As he began washing his hair, he thought more about the memory he recalled.

Even if a small detail, he had to remember something about that place..

Nothing. Perhaps he could search up something about it on the computer in his room, but he can't risk it. Especially with Monodev so silent and all. For all Akira knew, Monodev was plotting something..

If he had to guess however. It was the next motive. The damn robot wasn't gonna stop at nothing to make sure everyone killed each other.

Akira then finished up, turning the shower off and climbing out. Drying himself off with the towel, he went out to his closet to grab new clothes. Grabbing a new outfit for the day, he got dressed and ready.

Grabbing his tablet, he saw..a message. The sender wasn't listed however, which was extremely weird. The tablets were made to tell what messages were being sent and from who but..what read was..

Sender: ???
Subject: Keep your mouth shut.

Akira clicked open and the following message read.

"I know you're slowly beginning to remember...Don't worry. I have many things in store for you, so keep that mouth of yours shut and don't even try to fill your little friends with the false sense of hope. After all. Once the truth comes out, your friends will be the ones left in despair. If I don't decide to dispose of them anyways.."

What did that message mean? The more Akiras coming to find out? This must've been about the computer lab stuff, which leaves Maeko..Mitsuko..or Yumico as a potential spy or even...

The Mastermind.

Unless someone else had been hearing in for some time, or potentially an outside force was behind all this..Nothing made sense to him in that moment about the message. He looked backed to the PC in his room corner, thinking about the sender of that other message. Are..these two one in the same? Different people?

"Weirdly enough, I feel like the Protagonist of a Murder Mystery...A shitton of mysteries presented to me, and yet..someone clearly threatening me or possibly considering taking action against me." Akira thought to himself.

Just the thought alone gave Akira existential dread, as he placed his tablet in his pocket and went to wake up Mitsuko.

When he tried, Mitsuko groaned. "Mmm...10 more minutes." He said, yawning all the while and trying to fall back to sleep.

"Uhm..We kinda have an emergency." Akira said, as Mitsuko darted up.

"Is it the dogs?! Oh god, did the dogs get out?!" Mitsuko shouted, before looking around.

"Oh. Wait a minute. Must've still been dreaming.." Mitsuko said, chuckling and rubbing the back of his neck. He looked to Akira and said "Oh! So, emergency you said. What's the emergency?"

Should Akira even say? What if Mitsuko was the spy working against them and he was the one to send the message? No..He's not that smart. Well, he is but..Not to the degree of something like..
