"Ahh. So it seems you've figured it all out, havent you?" Raidon asked, smirking all the while.

"What experiments?! What the hell are these papers even-" Akira shouted before interrupted by Raidon.

"You know. We could show these to the entire class, but where's the fun in that?! It could all be lies, yes?" Raidon said.

"Lies or not, this is fucked up! Not to mention, the Academy went along with this sick fucking game?!" Akira shouted in anger. "The Academy is the very reason my brothers dead!"

"The Academy you say?" Raidon asked with a malicious smile. "Well then! Let me offer you this. You help me commit a murder, and...Once the 5th floor unlocks, we both get the answers we desire!"

"What the hell are you talking about?!" Akira asked with a stern tone.

"I'm saying. My lab and especially Junpeis are on the final floor. Blood brothers always seem to hide one thing or the other from each other. That father dispute certainly didnt help. Zenkichi Odashi as your father? Ha! What a surprise." Raidon spoke.

"Whatever the hell youre getting at, I'm not committing murder just for the hell of answers!" Akira said.

"Well then. Let's ask Monodev perhaps just how this accomplice system works." Raidon said, as Monodev appeared.

"Someone call for little ol me?" Monodev said. "Yeah, regarding the accomplice rule of murders. Only the actual killer is eligible for graduation or technically execution if caught by the class. Did you not read the goddamn rules?!"

"Everything's been so overwhelming, I practically forget a majority of the rules..." Akira thought to himself.

"Ahh, well no worries kiddos. Dont worry! I'm still prepping that nice motive for all of you! Chances are, with what I got in store? Aint gonna really effect the two of you." Monodev snarked.

"Enlighten us on how." Raidon spoke.

"Well then it just ruins the surprise!" Monodev shouted.

"Does this have something to do with Yumicos parents?!" Akira shouted.

"I don't know! You tell me! They alive, they dead? Why do I care?" Monodev chuckled.

"....I smell bullshit." Akira whispered.

"Ehh?! Speak up!" Monodev shouted.

It was pure lies as far as Akira could tell. Lies. Nothing more..than worthless lies. If Yumico reacted as she did, it's completely possible that was her parents and it's possible theyre still alive..though. Context of that extent wasn't given in the photo.

"Damn it all..Forget it." Akira said, as Monodev laughed.

"D'aww I broke all that hope of yours, didnt i? What a naughty little bastard I am!" Monodev mocked. "Well, Anyways kiddos! I got some motivation to prepare. So I hope you're all ready for whats in store!"

As Monodev disappeared, Raidon waved his cape and smiled back at Akira. "Dear oh dear Akira...I do hope, that once this movies presented..Youll consider my little offer. After all, I'm sure you're dying to know what's waiting on the last floor."

"The last floor?" Akira thought to himself. "So does Raidon know more about this facility then he's letting on?! I mean...His talent apparently is Ultimate Engineer."

As Raidon left, Akira was left confused. Wondering to himself why are things the way they are, and what's with the weird foreshadowing?

"I need a damn distraction.." Akira said to himself, deciding to head up to Barisutas lab for a nice talk.
