Huh..? When did I fall asleep..? I sat up from my bed. This room feels so empty... I normally have many things in m room, but... It feels empty now.. So about this whole 'Killing Game' situation.. Are people actually going to kill to leave this place..? How many times or how many people can die..? How are people outside allowing this...!? I let a sigh escape from my mouth and I leave my dorm room.
"Eep! K-kurokawa!?" I exclaim surprised. Kurokawa was at my door, geez.. They gave me a heart attack! What is she doing here..?
"Maki..! Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." Kurokawa says.
"It's fine..! I know it was a complete accident! How are you feeling?" I reply and ask concerningly.
"*sigh* I feel fine, but no memories." Kurokawa sighs. Really still no memories...? Did Monokuma do something to her?
"Seriously!?" I said.
"Yep... U-uh.. Anyway! I just wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to breakfast together?" Kurokawa says.
"Hm? Okay! Sure, I feel pretty hungry." I reply. Kurokawa smiles, and we go to the dinning hall. When we enter, everyone was there. Maeda was teasing Kasai, Tsumi... Uh xe was in the corner. Everyone else was sitting at the big table.
"You little- give it back!" Kasai yelled at Maeda.
"Only if you give me money!" Maeda replied.
"Where the hell am I gonna get money!?" Kasai yelled.
"Figured it out." Maeda yelled then ran out of the dinning hall.
"If only I could animate this.." Shimzu mutters while poking at their food with a fork.
"Pervert!! What kind of question is that!?" Mari shouted at Yamato.
"So is that a yes or a no?" Yamato says. I don't even wanna know what is going on between those two. I sit down beside Kurokawa.
"Minami... Where have I heard that last name before..?" Namida says and puts his finger to his chin.
"My older sister.." Minami mumbles.
"You have an older sister?" Kamiya says while taking a bite of bread. Minami nods.
"She also goes to Hopes Peak. But it's weird that I haven't seen her at all since I came here if this is Hopes Peak." Minami says.
"Oh! Petshop knows Kaede's sister! Not personally though." Petshop says. While those guys talked to each other, I grab some food. It's strange how nobody is talking about this whole situation. I thought that would be the first thing on everyone's mind.
"I'd like to get everyone's attention...!" I said as I stood up from my chair.

I got everyone's attention.
"We should talk about this whole killing game situation... How can you guys act like Monokuma didn't even happen..?" I said.
"Surely that bear couldn't have been serious about that. That was probably a prank from the teachers. There's no way society would let that happen." Mari said.
"No, that bear wasn't lying about us being trapped here though..." Kurokawa says.
"Kurokawa and I looked around for an exit, the entrance didn't open, the rest, like stairwells and other shit. Were blocked off. I couldn't break it open." Nomura tells us.
"Along with all of the windows, their all bolted with mental plates. It's impossible to escape, so Monokuma wasn't lying about us being trapped." Akashi told us.
".....What about this whole killing game thing..?" Kawazoe mumbles.
"If Monokuma wasn't lying about us being trapped in this place, what makes you think he was lying about the killing game?" Dice said.
".........................................." The room fell silent. Some students didn't take the killing game seriously before.. But now that we think about it, it only makes sense. if we kill someone and get away with it, we can leave...
"Hey! Don't give up yet! Let's just work hard to investigate! I'm sure can find a way out without killing! Plus leaving this place isn't enough motive!" I said to lighten and encourage everyone.
".................You're probably right.." Tsumi very quietly mumbles.
"Hm! Let's do our best to investigate!" I said. Everyone- almost everyone. Cheers, and we leave the dinning hall. But there much to investigate as Kurokawa, and Nomura said everything was blocked off, or locked. I found an infirmary. It wasn't anything special though, but it wasn't locked which was good. The stairs that led to the second floor was blocked off, as I said everything was either blocked or locked.

I couldn't stop thinking about this whole killing game as I was investigating.. We're in a killing game where everyone's lives are on the line even mine! Even if I beg for my life, I doubt I'll be kept alive, but why am I thinking this so much..? As I was walking I found the... Antique Shop? What is this doing this the school? I go in, there was pretty old things there, and a machine called a 'MonoMono machine'? I read the label... 'Please Insert Monocoin. Free for only one time' Well I wanna know what the heck this thing does! I twisted the... Thing. and a object falls from the MonoMono machine. Is this a gold necklace? Who would like this? Come to think of it, I still haven't gotten back my camera from Maeda. I left the room, and went to go investigate the classrooms once again in case I might have missed something. I check under the desk. Huh? There's something here... A Monocoin..? Maybe.. It had Monokuma half n half face on it. I check behind the chalk board, lockers, and tried to loosen up the bolts.. I found a total of 10 Monocoins! I left the classroom and went into classroom 2, found the same amount of Monocoins.. Then I investigation was over for now, and I went back to dinning hall. With barely any luck of getting out.
