Moneko: wake up my dear students the time for the gym and dining hall to open is now

An end to another class trial had left everyone in a state of unease, with Emalga killing Kei and ending the motive and with the showcase of multiple thieves in the group, it was clear that the group dynamic had gotten worse and this point was clearly made when looking in the dining hall

Kaizo: how unnaturally quiet

Hiroshi: I hate this I really do

Flora: kyu...including Masa only 7 of us are here

Daisuke, Aozora, Noriaki and Emalga weren't at the dinning area, there latter for obvious reasons but the others for reasons unknown

Hana: it's not nice that's for certain, how did it get like this?

Kani: I can't help feeling particularly responsible for this, being that I took some of that food and didn't say anything

Noa: honestly I'm unsure any of us blame you for that one

Kani: even so I'm meant to be protecting everyone and yet all I did was cause more conflict and I couldn't even do anything to solve it

Hiroshi: hey Kani you don't need to take a big burden you know? You've been doing really well for us all these past few weeks

Kani: even so as of now I've been unable to stop 5 deaths from happening that is unacceptable for a bodyguard

Kaizo: you should not blame yourself after all at least when you took food there was a justifiable reason for it unlike someone

Hiroshi: huh?

Hana: hey Kaizo there's no need for that

Kaizo: they you would defend Hiro's actions? He stole two days worth of food and doesn't even have a reason for it

Hiroshi: hey I told you all my reason

Kaizo: you passed out yes? How foolish do you think we are?

Hiroshi's w-what! You think I intentionally ate the food? I wouldn't do that

Kaizo: I'm not all that sure honestly, I cannot say trust you

Flora: Kaizo is now really the time for starting fights? We were just out of a trial less then 24 hours ago kyu

Hana: I agree, besides Hiroshi has no reason to lie, he could've quite easily told us this truth of yours and we would've treated him the same

Kaizo: sure you would, if I remember the victim of that case stole food for themselves just like him

Noa: you'll never understand it Kaizo

Kaizo: hmm?

Noa: trust, that's what I mean, it's not something that makes sense to an assassin like yourself so you try to break it, you've done it before and you are doing it now

Kaizo: hmph

Hana: Kaizo...do you not trust any of us?

Kaizo: what do I have to trust?

Hana: don't you remember during the first trial when all of those people were defending you?

Kaizo: what of it?

Kani: she's saying you were feeling trust towards that group

Kaizo: that is not the case it just felt good to know I wasn't being suspected

Noa: yeah because of trust, that's basically how it works

Masa: hey everyone, are we all ready to explore the next floor
