Once again, we all stood outside the shrine of judgement, standing before the massive Monokuma statue. I still had my arm around Kokichi, holding him firmly beside me.
"It would appear we have all gathered... but it seems there are less and less of us" Korekiyo interrupted the awkward tension between us all
"L-Less friends mean it harder to solve mystery" Gonta sighed
"W-Well, don't worry... i'm sure you've gotten a lot smarter, Gonta" Even throughout the pain he was currently going through, Kokichi still had to make a stupid comment
"That's enough. You're not even in a state to be insulting people right now, Kokichi" I gave him a look
"Yeah, take the day off why fuckin' don't'cha?!" Miu said sarcastically
"G-Gonta do best to help friends" Gonta nodded slowly
"Good, i-i want you to graduate from super-idiot level to at least Kaito-idiot level" Kokichi made another comment
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" Kaito challenged
"Ah, more importantly... are you okay, Kaito? I know Kokichi isn't but... when was the last time Hitomi gave you your medicine?" Shuichi's expression softened
"Y-Yeah, i'm fine. I-I'll take my next dose after this trial. But wow, Maki sure does pack a punch!" Kaito gave her a thumbs up
"It's your fault.." Maki looked away
"You don't need to worry about our dwindling numbers, only total dipshits have died so far!" Miu cackled, but stopped as i shot her a look
"A-And by that i mean N-Natsuki, of course!" She stuttered
"A-Anyways, other than the ultimate emo guy, Shuichi, and his lil' goth apprentice, Hitomi, make sure ya all use your brains so i don't gotta use mines! My golden brain cells are a gift to this entire world!" Miu placed a hand on her chest proudly
"It's as though each time you open your mouth, the less likable you become"
For once, i actually *agreed* with Korekiyo. Normally, i'd be wanting everyone to stop with their comments, but *anything* was better than being in that God awful trial room.
"Atua, please... lend us your power" Tsumugi began praying and pleading to her new 'god'
"I believe it's best we don't rely on Atua.... considering what happened to Angie whom he loved most of all" The brainwashing seemed to be waring off of Keebo
"She shouldn't of relied on Atua in the first place.." Kokichi sneered
"But seriously.. it's funny seeing a robot of all people believe in a god, especially Atua" I don't think that would last for much longer
"S-So what? Robots can believe in God..." Keebo insisted
"Actually... before i even met Angie, i had a similar experience... hearing voices, i mean" He clarified
"You all might call it an inner voice. It tells me what to do whenever i'm in troub-"
"How long are you gonna say that for? Atua and ghosts don't matter right now" Maki cut him off
"As much as i'd rather be doing anything right now than going to the trial, you're right" I sighed
"Y-Yeah, this trials gonna be rough... we got caught in Monokuma's trap" Kaito ruffled his hair
"Monokuma's trap?" Shuichi repeated
"Y-Yeah! He probably made the fourth floor so scary that i wouldn't investigate!" Kaito explained
