[Monokuma's Good Morning Announcement]

Monokuma: [Appears on the TV screen] Good morning, everyone! It is now 7 a.m. and nighttime is officially over! Time to rise and shine! Get ready to greet another beee-yutiful day!

Silver: Well, I guess I'd better head to the dining hall before anything else... [He got up, got out of his room, and went to the dining hall] 

Dawn: Is this... really everyone? It feels a little...small. Even the table looks bigger, somehow.

Espio: I assume that is because three people are dead, and one didn't bother to join us.

Silver: Yeah, with four people missing, I guess it would feel kinda empty.

Kat: Though, I'm not surprised Scourge didn't show up...

Crystal: He didn't even bother to show up to therapy last night...

Silver: Speaking of which, how did that go?

Ruv: Pretty good...

Silver: That's good! 

Ruv: ...Anyway, Scourge's the real problem. If we don't keep an eye on him, he might really kill someone. You can see it in his eyes...

Pico: We got no choice! Get some rope! We're gonna hafta keep him bound and gagged!

Espio: I think that's going a little overboard...

Amy: He's right! In this situation, there's nothing scarier than when an ally turns loose cannon! 

Silver: [he noticed that Benjamin was sad] Huh? What's wrong, Benjamin? You don't look so great...

Benjamin: Oh, I'm just g-going through a little...s-self-loathing.

Silver: Huh? Self-loathing?

Silver: Huh? Self-loathing?

Benjamin: Well, after what S-Scourge said to me y-yesterday...I just got so n-nervous, I locked up. I c-couldn't say anything. I...I hate how w-weak I am.

Crystal: I see... Typical Scourge...

Ruv: [Puts a hand on Benjamin's shoulder] Hey... Don't worry... I'll protect you from Scourge... I promise...

Benjamin: You

Benjamin: You...You do...?

Ruv: Trust me...

Benjamin: O-Okay... Thank you, R-Ruv!

Ruv: S-Sure...

Benjamin: But...I still d-don't like how I am r-right now. I have to get st-stronger... If I'm so w-weak anything can m-make me cry...that's not g-good.

Silver: Still, don't stress out too much about having to get stronger.

Benjamin: No...I *want* to get stronger. Maybe I should...start working out...

Dawn: In that case, I would be happy to help you out anytime.

Pinkie Pie: B-But then Benjamin would get smashed into a billion pieces!

Kat: Oh, don't be silly!

Benjamin: Hmhmhm...

CJ: Ohh, finally cracked a smile, huh?

Benjamin: Y-Yeah... Everyone...thank you.

Silver: [Thinking] Looks like Benjamin's gotten some life back

Silver: [Thinking] Looks like Benjamin's gotten some life back. Yeah man! If we keep helping each other out like this we're bound to get outta this crappy place sooner or later! I mean...someday...I'm sure... Still, our biggest concern right now is Scourge, who never showed up for breakfast. What can I do to try and understand him better?
