You awoke the next morning, feeling a little sore. Deciding that it was probably for the best to take a small walk, you exited your room to see Asahina and Sakura together. The duo spotted you and the doughnut loving girl came running, although you could tell something was off about her. Meanwhile, Sakura and you exchanged knowing looks.
"Good morning [Name]!"
You yawned a little and greeted back.
Asahina had invited you to go to the dining hall together. While you originally wanted to decline, there was no harm in getting to know the others. If anything, it could actually aide in choosing who shall fall victim to the next motive (which Junko had happily told you). So you walked with Sakura and Asahina into the dining hall, clearly noticing that there was definitely something up with Asahina now. You decided to ask her about it later. Celeste was already inside, sitting at the far end of the long table. She was busy ordering poor Hifumi around (something about milk tea?).
Soon after, Kirigiri and Naegi walked into the dining hall, just in time to see the catastrophe unfold. Celeste had smashed the cup of milk tea on the floor, demanding Hifumi to make a new one as she "only drinks Royal Milk Tea". (Jeez Celeste, fancy much?)
"But what's the difference? It's still milk tea in the end-"
"JUST GET ME A NEW ONE YOU FILTHY PIG!"
And off Hifumi went, scurrying back into the kitchen to prepare a new batch for Celeste. The whole dining hall was silent, staring at Celeste and her sudden... Character change. Of course, Celeste brushed it off like it was nothing, but you made a mental note that her character and personality might come in useful.
You thought it would be a good time to ask Asahina what was on her mind but Sakura beat you to it, as expected of her best friend.
"Well... I... Saw Chiriro's ghost last night!"
Chihiro's ghost? There's no way ghosts exists. But Asahina was adamant about her findings so putting aside the disappointment Celeste had for breaking the night time rule, everyone made their way to the bathhouse.
Asahina pointed to where she saw Chihiro's ghost which was where the lockers were. You were the closest to the lockers so you opened one of them and was greeted with a soft green glow. On it, truly was Chihiro's face on a laptop (that was supposedly the one from the library).
You took it out from the locker where Kirigiri asked if she could see it. Shrugging, you passed the laptop to her, allowing Kirigiri to do her thing. You were sure to report this to Junko later on to see what she has to say about this, but you feared that the AI Chihiro would be a threat to you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, you waited in your room for Junko. You didn't want to risk having anyone catch you wandering outside the rooms during night time, god knows what Celeste might do to you. You heard the doorbell ring followed by a couple of rhythmic knocks on the door. Yep, that's definitely Junko.
You opened the door to let her enter the room. Her heeled boots click as she walked in.
"So what did you find out today?" Junko asked as she flopped onto the bed.
"I got really good news, good news and bad news and even worse news. Which one do you wanna hear first?" You ask.
"The really good."
"The really good news is that there's no bad news. The good news, there's an Alter Ego Chihiro Fujisaki in one of the bathhouse locker. The even worse news is that Kirigiri told Alter Ego Chihiro to scream if anyone who it doesn't know gets close to it. Kirigiri has her room door open."
