Moving down into the basement, the group of students eagerly awaited the results that Jungwon was searching for, perhaps this would finally give them an inclination as to who the Mafia were. They watched the girl scroll through the computer, the only sound in the room being the clicking of her mouse.

However, all their hopes were crushed when they discovered that the files on the computer had been deleted. That made the students turn their annoyance onto Yoonseo, blaming the girl for tricking them, claiming that she was a Mafia. As an argument broke out about her innocence, Jiwoo yawned and rest her head on her palm.

A siren sounded over the speakers as Kyungjun turned to leave, purposefully bumping into Jiwoo as he walked out of the basement. Turning around, he flashed a smile to the girl over his shoulder as she rolled her eyes.

"Ko Kyungjun voted for Lee Yoonseo. Kim Jinha, Shin Seungbin voted for Lee Yoonseo. Cha Yujun voted for Lee Yoonseo."

Jiwoo gaped as the people who had voted left, not even allowing the girl a moment to defend herself. When two other students attempted to leave, Yoonseo begged them to wait a moment as she promised that she would prove her innocence if she was given time. Jungwon added to this, confirming that she would restore the files.

With that in mind, the others left and Jiwoo sighed, leaning back in her chair as she watched Yoonseo put her head in her hands. While Junhee attempted to comfort the distressed girl, Jiwoo questioned Jungwon on how long it would take. Upon learning that she would be done by eleven, the girl decided she was useless sitting around.

Mumbling to her brother to wake her up later, she closed her eyes and attempted to sleep away the day, take away the burden that rest on her shoulders.

Once her eyes shut, she was asleep, although her dreams were anything but restless, burdened by the constant reminders of the past.

At eleven, as promised, Junhee woke the girl up and she forced her body to adapt to being awake once again. She yawned and pulled herself to her feet, knowing if she sat down she would probably drift off to sleep again. By the time she had fully woken up, the other students were gathered in the basement, waiting around for Jungwon to show them the footage that they were counting on to prove Yoonseo's innocence.
