"A-A gun. . ."

"I think Y/N's right. . . you'll probably get shot if you mess up. . ." Chiaki agreed.

"Dammit. . .!" Fuyuhiko clenched his fist and started to sweat. "I-It can't be helped. . . Looks like. . . it's better if we don't mess with it. . . for now. . ."

"Kehehe. . .he's totally freaked out. . ." Hiyoko commented.

"Shut the hell up! You do it then!" He snapped.

"But still. . ." Chiaki went on. "A building that looks like an ancient ruin, with a door that looks like it's from sci-fi film. . . It's definitely unnatural. This is probably an important place."

"Important place, huh. . ." Kazuichi repeated. "The problem is, how is it important?"

"Um. . ." Monomi suddenly appeared within the group.

"Um. . ." Right after her, Monokuma joined.

". . .You're both quiet?" Peko noted.

"You guys know about this buildin' too, right!?" Akane assumed, cracking her knuckles. "Just be honest with us!"

Monomi looked away and started sweating. "No. . . I have no. . .I have no idea at all. . ."

"I. . . don't know either. . ." Monokuma turned away.

What are they hiding. . .?

"For now. . .everyone should focus on gathering the Hope Fragments. . ." Monomi suggested.

"Hey, there's no way you guys don't know!" Kazuichi shouted. "Don't just show up and tell some lousy lies!"

"You guys are probably the ones who covered that door with dust, right?" Hiyoko guessed.

"Ah, just as I thought, you guys were hiding it on purpose, right. . .?" Mikan asked.

"Hey, don't talk like we're equals, you trashy bitch!" Hiyoko scoffed.

"Eeek! I-I'm sorry!"

"Say you're sorry, bitch!"

"I-I just said it!" Mikan stuttered, starting to cry. "I just said. . . I'm sorry!"

"Hiyoko enough." I intervened. "This is hardly the time."

She scoffed and crossed her arms, turning away from me.

"Is it possible that. . . there is a connection between this door and the reason this island is uninhabited?" Nekomaru suggested. "For example, this place might be a shelter, and there might be natives inside."

"Is something happening that would make them hide in a shelter?" Mahiru wondered. "If so. . . we're all screwed."

"Hmmm, several possibilities cross my mind." Monokuma snickered. "But it looks like there's no way to confirm it yet. That door is really sturdy. But. . . not in a material sense. More essential than that."

". . .Huh? What're ya sayin'?" Akane questioned.

"For instance. . . even though Monomi and I can come and go as we please, we can't enter what's beyond that door." He responded.

"Huh? You can't go inside, too?" Monomi sounded surprised. "Does that mean you're the same as me and--"

"Heeeey! Keep your tongue in your mouth!" He yelled, firing some kind of energy beam from his paw. "There. . . now that I've shut up my sister with a fantastic Pegasus Meteor Fist. . . This is the mystery of Jabberwock Island. A mystery that even Monomi and I can't solve. That's why I have high expectations for you guys! One day, you'll be able to solve that mystery!"
