At Least We're Not Killing Each Other, Right?

A pretty short chapter, but it's important and the next one will be very soon, I promise!

I woke up to a loud announcement hosted by a two-toned stuffed bear. It was rather loud and not the best thing to hear in the morning or at any time. I stretched while yawning. I rolled out of bed and changed into a new outfit. I quickly brushed my hair and walked out somnolently, having not slept well because of stress, ready to start a new day. When I stepped out, the wind ran through my hair gracefully. I walked down the stairs and calmly to the café or cafeteria, whatever you want to call it, huns. On my way, I spotted Shuichi and Kaede on their way to the library, and while my immediate reaction was to be suspicious, I chose to remember but push down all thoughts about it. I chose spaghetti off the menu, the same as Korekiyo. Once I finished eating, I washed and put away the bowl. I guess now I have free time? That's a new experience. I chose to spend time with Kokichi, the most chaotic of the group. He asked if I wanted to play Uno, and I accepted. We sat down and played against each other. We both cheated, but Kokichi won anyway. Then he said he had something to do. I thought maybe it was suspicious, but I ignored my anxious emotions. I decided to look for my ultimate lab. After searching the entire first floor, I assumed it was in a place we'll unlock later. I still had a few minutes left before nighttime. While thinking over my options, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see Shuichi. He asked if I would hang out with him, despite the nervousness the question gave him. I agreed cheerfully, making him a bit less nervous.

[Insert some quality time. Use your imagination, guys.]

I don't care what you thought of it, but in the end, we promised an alliance and not to kill each other, an easy request to fulfill. The night announcement went off, signaling it was 10 PM and time to head to bed. We waved farewell and walked back to our dormitories. As I lay down, I realized we wouldn't die because of the time limit because we would've died already. We need to worry about a trial. Well, that's for later. I slowly drifted asleep. That night, I had a nightmare. A nightmare that a green-haired boy will die in a library. How strange.
