Chapter 5: Living on Borrowed Time, Part II (Daily Life)

*DING DONG BING BONG*
The nighttime announcement went off, and we could tell that this confrontation would have to wait another day. After all, if we tried chasing Homura down, what was stopping her from running into an off-limits area? Or tricking us into one? It was best to just return to the relative safety of our dorm room and think up of a plan.
The plan was simple; everyone would attend breakfast, so it would better to pump Sasuke and/or Homura for information there. And well, considering that there was practically nobody else left, they would attend. Surely enough, they did, and I didn't forget what to say.
Reiji: Sasuke! Kira's drink was spiked yesterday, and I have a hunch that you had something to do with it.
Sasuke: Wait... Oh, for-
Reiji: Got him. Red-handed as well.
Sasuke: Look, look, I won't deny it.
Kira: Right. As if that'll magically make it okay.
Asuka: Umm...
Sasuke: But promise me this; you can do whatever you please to me, but before that, I'll just tell you who I think is the mastermind.
Silence engulfed the room.
Reiji: Go on.
He then pointed a finger at, of all people, Homura.
Sasuke: It was you, Homura! It was all your fucking fault from the very beginning!
Homura: You can't be... what are you-
Sasuke: No wonder you was acting shady and shit! I had to do the wrong things, for the right reasons! Flush her out and get her out of the way! And then we'll be free!
Homura: ...I see now. You've got me. Congratulations.
Wait, what?! Was he really saying that... No, I couldn't believe it. I knew her. She seemed unlikely to have been a cunning mastermind.
But I just couldn't get the possibility out of my mind. That all along she was planning the Killing Game, that I never saw the real her...
Kira: Everybody, settle down! We'll discuss this later in more detail, okay? Around 12PM?
Asuka: Sounds good.
Ukyo: ...Chie. She's asking for your input. Put that tub of ice-cream down and answer, please.
Chie: Umm-hmm.
Kira: Right then, you're dismissed for now.
Reiji: ...
Homura: ...
Sasuke: ...Well, what are you waiting for? Scram.
Reiji: You clearly aren't helping your case.

(Free-Time Event #17: Ukyo Sakou)
We filed out, knowing full well that sooner or later, we would have to gather back in order to address what Sasuke said. To pass the time, I decided to converse with Ukyo. I would have talked to Mamoru, or Usagi, or Nanae, 'cause I saw Ukyo as relatively boring, but they were dead, he was alive, and he was in the computer room.
Reiji: Hey, Mr. Sakou.
Ukyo: Ah, finally, you got it correct.
Reiji: Yeah. We've been in the same place for weeks and yet we barely know each other.
