After breakfast, the occupants of the island were left to do, well, whatever they wanted. What else could they do? Monokuma had made sure they were unable to reach anywhere but he did mention something.

"I'll unveil the other islands to you in due course, my dear students!"

Other... Islands? There were more!? God, why was this happening to them?

Cinders sat down at the beach, humming quietly to herself.

Volcan was in a mood now and sat in a different tree.

"Stupid bodyguard." He muttered.

Cinders blinked. "Hello?"

"Huh? Oh, it's you."Volcan sighed.

"Uh." Cinders looked around. "Yep. I'm Cinders."

"The name's Volcan."

Cinders cocked her head to the side and inquired,"Why're you in a tree?"

"Because I want to be." He shrugged.

"Is tree-climbing fun?" Cinders raised an eyebrow. "I've never tried."

"Well, the sitting in the tree part is."

"Hmm.." Cinders stood up and walked over to the tree, placing her foor on the trunk,"Either I'm going to do this and it'll be really impressive or I'll fall on my butt trying."

"The outcome sounds fun either way." Volcan shrugged.

Cinders raised her eyebrows, then heaved, reaching up and grabbing the branch. She stumbled, but managed to haul herself up and sit in the tree.

"Decent, for a newbie."

Cinders grinned. "Why, thank you."

"No problem."

Cinders hummed,"I like the beach. It's very calming."

"Is that so?" He raised a brow.

"Mhm." Cinders folded her arms. "I grew up at the beach."

"I grew up in an alleyway. Close enough, right?" Volcan turned to her.

Cinders blinked,"Uh...sure?"

Volcan yawned and leaned back as Cinders watched the waves.

Alfonso looked around for his sister because Isabelle scolded him and now he was sad.

"You good?" Taeko popped out from behind a tree.

"Never."

"What's up, bro?" She asked.

"I called my bosses stalker a bitch and he started baby raging and boss sent us both away." Alfonso explained.

"Tall guy with the messed up face?" Taeko raised a brow.

"Yeah."

"Just ignore him. Based on his behaviour, he clearly never got attention and so seeks it out. In his eyes, any attention is better than no attention. Taeko sighed.

"I see. So how've you been?"

"Eh, tired." She shrugged.

"Fair enough. Did you sleep?" Alfonso asked.

"No." Taeko sighed.

"Bruhhhhhh. Get some rest, you'll need it for this school." Alfonso pointed.

"Do I really, though?" Taeko asked, leaning against him.
