LOL SORRY FOR BEING ON HIATUS FOR A MONTH 💀

There was silence.

"Sure." I said. I didn't really know what was going to happen next, this man was so unpredictable.

"Hey... shake on it? There isn't really a deal if you don't shake on it, ahaha.." Sou held his hand out awkwardly as a way to make amends. I sigh, and just take his hand.

"I should.. probably go. See you Sou.." Crap. Kanna's here too. "...You too, Kanna."

Kanna waved back when I turned away, "Bye..!"

Sou nodded, so I simply walked.  away. There's no way Kanna would say anything, right? Maybe I let too much slip.

When I walked to the corner, and seemingly 'disappeared', I heard Kanna's voice. "Sou.. what did (Name) mean by a note..?" My lucky day.

"Ahaha.. nothing, Kanna. Don't worry."

Kanna stayed quiet, while I walked faster. Alright, so now Kanna's suspicous. Let's see if Sou actually doesn't go back on what he says.

I walk out and decide to go exploring. Upstairs didn't seem to be useful at all from what Sara mentioned, but I'm still checking before anything.

When I got up there, it was just a place with doors, some locked, some unlocked, one having this sort of.. weird room?

Both sides seemed to be almost perfect replicas of eachother, besides certain things. Like how there's a painting on one side and the other doesn't, or other minor details.

There could be something about it, maybe something hiding? My hand lifted up the portrait on the left, revealing another picture that depicted the gun pointed like the gun painting on the right.

The wallpaper on the window of the right ripped off pretty easily, but it still wasn't symmetrical. It most likely is a puzzle, but what am I to do if I have nothing else besides a card, a key, and two crumpled papers in my pocket?

My luck. Well, it's more likely someone found everything before me because I kept relaxing. This is what I get. Well, whoever sees this puzzle next gets the luck of having to do less. You're welcome.

Back to where I started on the ground floor, and nothing important found. Nao's still missing, and I pretty much only have two people on my sides at most.

During this time I was thinking, (and also worrying about Sou), I entered the cafeteria. There, I heard yelling.

"You especially, please!!"

Nao's voice?

The voices got louder and more distinct as I approached a bit closer to the back, but never entering it.

"...Okie-dokie." Keiji's voice said monotonely.

"What did you come here for..?!" Nao's voice was filled with more panic, "Please leave... Sara...!"

Gin mumbled, "..I'm scare, meow..."

How did Nao even get in there anyways? Wasn't it locked?

Sara spoke calmly this time as she tried to reassure Nao. "We're on your side. We won't do anything." Nao kept quiet while Sara continued, "What in the world happened?"
