Kagami stood silently for a few moments after she had knocked. For the first time since entering this world, she knew what she had to do. It was going to be hard and it was going to hurt, but she had to do it. As the door swung open, all of the responsibilities that plagued her mind faded away as her eyes fell onto Shuntaro Chishiya. She would deal with her Niragi problems tomorrow, but for now, she just wanted to forget about everything.

"I'm surprised you came here." Chishiya said. "I half expected you to go back to Niragi, after all aren't you supposed to marry him tomorrow?" Kagami scoffed at Chishiya's question as she pushed past him and attempted to lay back on his bed only for him to grab her arm. "You are not getting into my bed after being in the pool." He told her and Kagami felt her black shorts, they were still a little damp. 

"How did you even know about the whole wedding thing? and the pool thing?" Kagami asked, slipping out the black shorts and placing them over one of the nearby chairs. "Can I get in now?" She asked and Chishiya simply rolled his eyes,

"No, shower and get into clothes that don't stink of chlorine and then I'll think about it." He told her. Chishiya then moved to the wardrobe and pulled out one of his shirts and threw it at her.

"Thanks." Kagami mused before she turned away from him and walked into the attached bathroom. "You also didn't answer my question." She added, popping her head around the corner to look at Chishiya who smiled at her and walked over to her.

"I know everything that happens around here and everyone's been talking about Niragi getting into the pool fully clothed like an idiot. That's what happens when you make a scene in front of everyone." Chishiya told her. Kagami frowned at him,

"Hey, if anyone created that scene it was Aguni and Niragi." She said in defense. "I was just doing my own thing. Oh, I also heard Last Boss speak for I think the first time ever since joining the Beach. I kinda assumed he would have had a deeper voice..." She mused more to herself.

"Right, I assume you have a plan on how to handle Niragi tomorrow then? Or are you going to go through with the 'wedding' and then bailing with us?" Chishiya asked. "Oh and if I haven't made it clear yet, I want you to know that a wedding in the middle of death games is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of." 

"You think I don't know that?" Kagami scoffed in reply. "That man just tunnel visions on what he wants and doesn't consider anything else. Nothing has changed."

"So, what's your plan?" He asked leaning against the door frame to the bathroom. Kagami pushed herself up to sit on top of the vanity, placing Chishiya's shirt next to her as she contemplated his question. She truly had no idea. 

"Bring Tatta with me to tell Niragi it's not happening and we're over and then hope I don't get executed until we can escape." Kagami said with a level of confidence that was clearly not shared by Chishiya.

Truthfully, if it weren't for the plan with Chishiya and Kuina, Kagami might have just married Niragi to keep him happy. But the plan they had gave her hope that there was a life outside of being Niragi's possession and she could actually survive.

"Why bring Tatta?" Was apparently the only question he had to her terrible plan.

"Lots of reasons: amusement, possible human shield, possible excuse to not get executed because he's the mechanic. Plus I would bring Arisu, but we're kinda planning on screwing him over so on the off chance Niragi does shoot me. I'd rather bring Tatta down with me than ruin your plan." She was mostly talking out of her ass, but Kagami was at least good at making her plan sound somewhat coherent. Taking a deep breath, she decided now was a better time than any to really think about her situation and what she could do to get out of it. But every idea she had was crushed by the reminder that this was Niragi she was dealing not a normal man.
