Ashlyn: Well, it's not that I want to kill someone-

Rachel: I know I know, but this is really really important. 

Ashlyn: Who are you suspecting has the file?

Rachel: I'm not very sure.

Ashlyn: So how do I even start? 

Rachel: Ask people, do some detective work?

Ashlyn: I'm an artist, not a detective.

Rachel: I don't know, okay? Can you try and figure something out? 

Ashlyn: I don't have anything better to do, so I'll see.

Rachel: Thank you so much, Ash.

I didn't know what else to say, so I left.

Am I really going to kill someone? For a motive that isn't even mine?

But then again, what other choice do I have?

Ashlyn: You're crazy! Do you really think you can kill someone?

Ashlyn: You'll get executed for sure, and you'll be just as horrible as all the murderers before you!

Ashlyn: But what else do I have to live for?

Ashlyn: Everything! You have everything to live for! You're sixteen!

Ashlyn: We'll be stuck here forever if another murder doesn't happen, don't you want to take things into your own hands?

Ashlyn: Monokuma hasn't even given the motive yet! How do you know nothing will happen?

Ashlyn: Ashlyn, you've done it now, you've agreed to something you don't even know how to handle...

Oh no.

What do I do?

Ashlyn: Just kill them. Do what Rachel said.

Ashlyn: No, I really can't.

Ashlyn: Just kill them.

Ashlyn: I can't, I don't have it in me.

Ashlyn: Just kill them.

Ashlyn: I can't!

Ashlyn: Do it.

Ashlyn: I CAN'T-

???: Ashlyn.

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to see...

Sophie: What are you doing?

Ashlyn: ...Nothing.

Sophie: It's late, you should be back in your dorm.

Ashlyn: I guess so... I uh... I'll go when I feel like it.

Sophie: Are you alright? 

Ashlyn: What? No I'm fine- Can I ask you something?

Sophie: What is it? 

This is my chance! Ask her about the file!

Ashlyn: How are you?

...

Why did I ask that? 

Sophie: Huh. 

Ashlyn: Did I say something wrong?

Sophie: What? No, it's just I'm not really used to anyone asking that. 

...

Sophie: I'm alright I guess.

Ashlyn: I heard you woke up at 7am this morning. 

Sophie: I haven't woken up later than that for years. I have an internal clock.
