((Akemi's POV))

Mondo and I walked up to Leon's door and I quickly rang the doorbell. Please... I thought. Please just let Leon understand...Let him believe me! I was surprised to see Leon opened the door quickly. Usually, he struck me as a loner. Guess I was wrong about that. Leon smiled brightly as he opened the door. "Oh! Hey, uh..." He paused, struggling to remember our names. I shook my head and smiled. Leon was always so forgetful. "Akemi. And Mondo," I said. Leon smiled, rubbing the back of his head and laughing. "Right. Right, I knew that," he said. I wanted to keep smiling, but I knew he had to know the truth. No matter how painful it may be for him. 

"Leon...You're in danger," I said, my smile turning into a serious look. Leon looked at me, shock and surprise in his eyes and expression. "In danger?" I nodded and walked inside, Mondo following behind. "Alright, Akemi...How exactly am I 'in danger'?" He asked. "A few nights from now, Sayaka Maizono will switch rooms with Makoto Naegi," I explained. "Then, she'll lure you into his room by switching the nameplates and giving you a note. When she does that, she'll attack you and cause you to kill her!" Leon's eyes widened in horror. "Kill!? No, that's absurd! I...I'd never! You...You've gotta be pulling my leg!" he said.

I looked down. "I wish I was but...I'm sorry to say I'm not," I said. Leon grabbed his head, cursing and punched the wall, leaving a dent. "Calm down," I ordered, grabbing his hand gently before he hurt himself further. "I'm here to make sure that doesn't happen. I'm gonna try and speak to Sayaka. If that doesn't work...Stay clear of her, okay? Please, Leon...You have to trust me!" Leon bit his lip as tears flowed down his face. He simply nodded at my words. 

I put my hands on his shoulders gently. "Listen to me, Leon...I swear to you...it won't happen like that!" I yelled. "I'll do everything in my power to prevent it, I promise. You can trust me..." He nodded, calmed down slightly. "A-Alright...I'll keep my distance from her," he said. I smiled and nodded. "In the mean time...I'm gonna talk to Sayaka," I said. Mondo's eyes widened at this and stood, following me to the door. "Then...I'll go with you!" he said. I shook my head. "Mondo, I can handle this on my own," I assured him.  "But-!" he protested. I smiled brightly. "Don't worry...If something goes wrong...I'll run." 

He nodded, still showing concern for me in his eyes. "Okay, but please be careful, Akemi." I smiled and nodded before heading off to Sayaka's room.

-Sayaka Maizono's Room-

I rang the doorbell of Sayaka's room and walked inside. Sayaka was there, sitting on her bed. "Sayaka....I need to talk to you," I said. She simply stared at the wall. I could tell how shaken up she was about what Monokuma said. "Sure...What is it?" She asked. I sat down on the bed beside her.

((Leon's POV))

I kept thinking about how Akemi was talking to Maizono. If things happened as she said, warning her might not be such a good idea. "Ngh...Why am I getting a bad feeling about this?" I asked myself. Let it go, Leon... I thought. It's just your paranoia from this whole Killing Game scenario. But as much as I wanted to believe that, this uneasiness and fear wouldn't leave. "Damn it..! I'd better be right about this!"  Instead of doing the sensible thing and staying in my room, I did the first thing my instincts told me to do and ran as fast as I could to Mondo's room. 

Once there, I banged on the door loudly. "Oowada! Open up! I need to talk to you!" I yelled. He opened the door, a scowl firmly on his face. "You don't hafta yell, asshole!" he yelled angrily. I quickly apologized, then got to the task at hand. "Mondo, we have to get to Akemi! I think...I think something might be wrong with her!" I explained. Mondo's eyes widened. "A-Are you sure?!" he asked. I nodded, letting him know I was dead serious. "Let's go!" Mondo yelled, pushing me out of the way. I quickly followed him.
