AYANOKOJI POV:
(TIMELINE: Year 1 Island Exam)

Our first special exam has just ended. Despite us winning with 225 points, I have to admit it was a struggle, even for me.

On the third night, I had a nightmare about my time in The White Room. This happens from time to time, and when it does I can't sleep. So I've been awake for about 4 days, with barely any sleep.

I need some sleep but I'm too scared to sleep. I wonder what that man would think if he saw me right now, his masterpiece, scared to sleep because of nightmares.

I've had these nightmares twice since coming to ANHS, this being my third time experiencing them. I've tried taking melatonin and other sleep medication but it doesn't help, I still get them. No matter what I can't find anything to comfort me.

"Ayanokoji-kun!"

I heard the angry voice of Horikita call out to me. Ah right, I have to explain what I did during the island exam... I really don't want to.

Ayanokoji: Hi.

I turned to look at her and she stomped up me angrily.

Horikita: You need to tell me how you-

She stopped mid-sentence and looked me up and down.

Horikita: Are... You okay? You look exhausted.

Ayanokoji: I am.

Horikita: Why? You look like you haven't slept in days.

Ayanokoji: I haven't.

Horikita: Why?!

I didn't really want Horikita to know that I'm scared to sleep because of nightmares, because I think she'd just make fun of me.

Ayanokoji: Does it matter?

Horikita: To me it does!

I sighed.

Ayanokoji: I'll tell you later... Maybe.

I whispered the last part under my breath and she thankfully didn't seem to hear it.

Ayanokoji: You want to explain what I did during the test don't you?

She quickly refocused on her reason for being here.

Horikita: Yes that's right. How on earth did you manage that result?

I went on to explain my plan from the beginning. All the way to how I used her sickness to win and used her like a pawn. I expected to feel nothing while explaining this but... I didn't, I felt a slight pang in my chest each time her expression showed she was hurt by my actions.

Horikita: Wait, but then why give me all the credit?

Ayanokoji: I told you, you need allies.

She appeared surprised.

Horikita: You... Did it for that...?

Ayanokoji: I'm starting to see a real change in you. You're finally starting to accept the help of others.

Horikita: It's your fault...

I began to reflect on all the time I've spent with her these past 4 months. We haven't known each other long, but now that I think about it. My life has been... More... How do I put it? Colorful? Since she came into it.
