        After Tenko's execution ends, the screens go dark once more before looking like the walls of the courtroom. The usual silence once more fills the room as now only 10 people remain. Kaito and Tsumugi were both shocked to see that their numbers had dwindled and that once again, they were proved wrong that Niles was not this horrible person they thought him to be. It took Kaede and Shuichi gently shaking their shoulders to snap them out of it as the others had turned and headed towards the elevator. Kirumi did not bother to verbally announce her services of tea at this rate since it seemed to now be the protocol for post trial. After Kaede, Shuichi, Kaito and Tsumugi get onto the elevator, they all return to the surface and all but the Late Night Squad leave the Shrine of Judgement. This of course snags Monokuma's attention and he appears nearby.

"This is odd. What leaves you five here?" Monokuma asks, tilting his head curiously at the group.

"It's still early afternoon. Do you have our rewards for passing?" Niles asks bluntly.

"I do! But I'm only going to give you one~ Shuichi will get the other~" Monokuma says producing an odd brush. He hands it to Niles. "Have fun!" the bear says before disappearing.

"Any idea where to use it Daddy?" Kokichi asks, tilting his head.

"Yeah I do actually," Niles says and he starts heading back to the school. The others follow swiftly as to not be left behind. The group makes their way up towards Angie's Lab as that was where Niles was headed towards. He stops in front of the suspicious wall they had noted when they first explored this floor. Niles uses the brush on the scrolls nearby and soon enough, the stairs up were revealed.

"Convenient that we got this one..." Maki comments dryly.

"I don't think it was hard to guess that we wanted to explore the next floor," Rantaro says to Maki.

"Well let's go! Let's see what we're gonna get for another floor!" Miu says before moving past Rantaro and Maki, going up the stairs. the other four follow Miu up the stairs and were surprised at how... small... the floor was.

"Huh, only three Labs here and I think it's safe to assume we have Tsumugi's, Shuichi's and Dad's," Kokichi says, looking at each door.

"Yeah, I think you're right Kokichi," Rantaro says, approaching his Lab's door. He takes a deep breath and pushes the door open to his Lab. As they all step into the Lab, they were all greeted by the sight of more red and a confusing setup - the two part safe on the back wall, a large table with bizarre chairs circling around it and the entire room disarray. The five in the room currently knew that the other five wouldn't know what the purpose of the room was since they did not know Rantaro's Ultimate. Rantaro gives a dry snort.

"What's so funny?" Miu asks, arching an eyebrow.

"The table... It's a direct reference to me being a Survivor. As you can see, there are sixteen chairs around the table. As there are only supposed to be sixteen players," Rantaro answers. Niles had made a beeline to the two part safe.

"Rantaro... Come look at this," Niles calls out to his boyfriend. Rantaro makes his way over to the safe and his eyes widen.

"Horse A and Twins B!" Rantaro says, the clues finally clicking in upon seeing this. He adjusts the dials and it opens, revealing a USB in the large safe.

"What is that thing?" Niles asks, eyebrows furrowing.

"It's a USB drive. You can store electronic shit on it and take it with you allowing you look at the shit stored on it as long as you have a computer," Miu answers.
