(Bell POV)

We all walked into the computer room. Currently, Ayanokoji was carrying Yuuki just in case he woke up, but my mind was elsewhere.

I didn't have time to explain it earlier, neither did Shinobu or Aqua, but we did have an actual issue on our hands...

"Bell, what happened?" Kyoko asked right away, staring at the one person who had actually died.

"...I'm not sure when since I didn't check the vitals right when I got here, but...Gojo died somehow."

Shinobu went up to the body, but even I could see how he died

"He was strangled." She said after only looking for a few moments.

"I'm positive Yuuki killed him as soon as he woke up." Ayanokoji said, "But to understand the motive, we'll have to know what happened."

He turned to Aqua.

"W-Well, Yuuki went crazy and started to kill everyone, but Gojo said he would stop him. Gojo lost though, so..."

"Well, it's likely that Gojo was simply too big a threat for him to live." Kyoko said, "Still, it is a shame. Gojo could have helped out a ton with the upcoming battle."

"Oh!" Aqua said, "Apparently Gojo also knew Izayoi! He told Kazuma and I about him for a bit."

Aqua explained everything to us, and after I was in shock at how strong some people were. I mean, I've never seen Gojo fight but Izayoi just sounds like a different level.

"I see. Well, at the very least, we can worry about that later." Ayanokoji said, "Everyone can relax for a bit. I'm gonna release everyone from the 'Dead' space they're in now."

I sat down with Shinobu and Aqua with me. Kyoko went to Ayanokoji to tell him something else, but he didn't seem fazed as he whispered back to her.

I was curious, but if they thought it was better to keep us in the dark, it was probably better that way.

A few moments later, Ayanokoji stopped typing and turned around.

"They'll wake up on their own now. We shouldn't wake them up though, so just wait. I'm going to head back first with Yuuki."

That made sense. After all, the longer he spent here with Yuuki, the more chance Yuuki would wake up and start attacking people again.

He quickly left with Yuuki over his shoulder.

A few moments later the first person woke up, "...Damn...I didn't forget anyway..." 

It was a lifeless voice, one that had no will behind it. Dazai.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Kyoko asked as she went up to him, "You could have nearly messed up this whole operation."

"Do you think I care?" 

That promptly earned him a slap across the face, "Get a grip. If you're so pathetic that you can't handle having emotions, then what makes you an Ultimate in the first place?"

"What makes me an ultimate?" He asked back in an angry voice as he stood up, hand on his cheek where he was slapped, "I am the Ultimate Manipulator. Whatever happened, still only happened because I was there. Without me, regardless of what I did, nothing would have happened."

"What are you talking about, Dazai?" 

The next voice sounded, and it was Kazuma. 

"KAZUMA!!!" Aqua yelled and jumped on him.

"Hey..." He said, he looked ashamed, "Aqua, listen...I'm sorry."

"You'd better be!" Aqua said as tears formed in her eyes, "I thought you were dead!"
