Whitty and Ruv had found the DVD room and cautiously went inside. It looked normal, but they weren't gonna trust the way it looked. They were still stuck in this school, and from what they learned, they can't trust anything here.
Ruv: [Sees a box on the ground] [Thinking] Huh? There's something inside this cardboard box. It's...! [He opens the box, revealing that what was inside were the DVDs Monokuma was talking about]
Whitty: ...a bunch of DVDs. And each one has a label on it with someone's name. This must be the "video for each of us" he mentioned... I'd better go tell everyone! [He ran off... and Ruv didn't follow after him. He just stood right there where he was. The DVDs in front of him had robbed him of all awareness. He was rooted in place...
Ruv: I think I see something... [Next to the monitor is a high-end DVD player] [Thinking] It'll probably play those DVDs no problem. [Outloud] Maybe I'll just watch mine real quick before everyone else gets here. [Ruv sorted through the DVDs he'd found in the box and found the one with his name on it...then he slid it into the expensive-looking player. He sat down and stared intently at the darkened screen. And then...]
[The screen turned on, showing a picture of a young gray cat sitting on a couch]
Ruv: Ah--! [He yelled out without realizing it, and his heart started racing. Because what he saw on that monitor... It was his daughter]
Missy: You getting picked to attend Hope's Peak Academy is like a dream come true. Make sure you do your best, okay dad! I'm so proud of you, dad. But remember--don't push yourself too hard! If you're really watching this, good luck, okay?
Ruv: [Thinking] If it had ended there, that would've been fine. A message of love and support. After leaving my daughter behind to attend Hope's Peak it would have given me hope, given me strength. If this was a normal school, I would've been happy, if a little embarrassed. With my daughter's support to rely on, I would've been motivated to do even better. But here, now, it was totally different. I wasn't living an ordinary school life. So I had a pretty strong feeling that the video wasn't going to end there. [The screen went black] [Thinking] I hated having that feeling, but...it turned out I was absolutely right. [The screen started glitching out, and the next scene showed the same house Missy was in but destroyed]
