Dribble stumbled into the mess hall the next morning after absentmindedly dropping the 682 plushie on Holly’s lap.
He grabbed a cup of coffee shoved into his hands by a concerned Gabriel and drank it all.
“Couldn’t sleep last night?” Gabriel asked.
“No sh*t.” He growled.
“I…sorry.” Gabriel said. “I don't feel like making Heket mad.”
Dribble rolled his eyes as he began to make himself toast. “I don't want to either, bud. Considering what she may have seen, she’s probably really mad.”
“I…to describe how I feel…” Gabriel sighed. “...Dribble, are you a father?”
“...your kid was the one being threatened, wasn't it?” Dribble asked.
Gabriel sadly nodded. “And my niece Rosalie too…”
“I think we should go check up on everyone else, Gabriel.” Dribble remarked.
‘I’m gonna go check up on Toy Freddy.’
Dribble found him in one of the newer rooms, the show stage. He was sitting on the stage, worried.
“Are you doing okay?” Dribble asked, looking at Toy Freddy.
“...No…not at all, sir.” Toy Freddy replied once he had found his voice. “...A-alisa…”
“Alisa…?” Dribble asked.
“...My wife….s-she…” Toy Freddy muttered.
“She was the one in your video, wasn't she?” Dribble said while realizing it.
Toy Freddy nodded. “But she would never want me to hurt anyone…”
“Keep that in mind, bud.” Dribble said, his ears twitching. “Keep that in mind.”
‘I’m gonna go check on Cobalt.’ He thought.
Dribble left, then went to check on Cobalt. He found him in one of the newer rooms, the chemistry lab.
Cobalt was bent over one of the tables, holding his head in his hands.
“Are you okay, pal?” Dribble asked.
“W-why would they do that to Hangry…?” Cobalt asked.
“Hangry?” Dribble said in a confused tone of voice.
“M-my boyfriend…” Cobalt muttered. “T-they’re gonna kill him…”
“Bah, like hell they will.” Dribble responded. “I bet Monokuma is just bluffing.”
“...A-also…while you’re here…what’s this?” Cobalt asked.
He then handed Dribble a paper.
‘Project: INFERNO

Notes: FINALLY! We got him! S is gonna be so happy!- Sapia’
Dribble sighed. “There was one about me, too. Go give that to Gabriel. I’m willing to bet that’s his.”
But before Cobalt could do anything, the night time announcement rang.
“I guess that’s that.” Dribble said. “Give it to Gabriel in the mess hall in the morning. I think Natsuki has breakfast duty tomorrow, so he shouldn't mind.”
Cobalt nodded and left for his own room.
Dribble walked alone back to his room. Usually, there would be someone else in the hall with him, but now, it was quiet.
When Dribble got back into his room, he got a notification from the messaging app.
LadyHeket: @Everyone I wish to find a way to take everyone’s minds off the situation at hand. Therefore, I am going to be hosting a karaoke competition at the show stage. I, @MothMan and @Big_Man will be the judges. Type “I'm In” if you wish to participate.

DribbleDrive, LadyHeket, and 5 others have left the chat.
Dribble smiled as he set his Monopod next to his bed. He finally had something to look forward to, and his ears would not stop twitching out of excitement.
Finally, he had something to hope for.
