Students Dead: Byari Shomoi, Dokari Napi, Eiko Kaei, Takinoko Reena

---------

I didn't exactly know how to feel about this trial. I sat silently in my room as I began to think about the past. Byari, Dokari, Eiko, and Takinoko all dead. But if the mastermind was dead, why's this game still continuing on...? It's all a mystery. My body ached after today and my brain hurt. Not only that, but Myaja. Myaja during the aftermath of the trial recklessly tried to attack Takinoko and in return got some teeth knocked out... Ferimi volunteered to watch Myaja yesterday and we all agreed on it. Myaja's now currently resting with Ferimi. Speaking of resting... Maybe a good long nap will help my pounding headache-

Ding dong, bing bong...

Click...

" Ahem!! Remaining students, get the lead outta your asses and head on over to the auditorium! I got some nice surprises for you all, kukukukuku!! See ya', punks!"

Click...

Just as I thought I'd get a moment to have a break and calm down, Shokukuma had made an announcement. I sort of missed Gurikuma's sweet and gentle announcements but... Gurikuma's with Takinoko now. I chose to obey the forceful brown bear and slid my door open. Heading down to the familiar auditorium, other people followed, including Myaja by Ferimi's side. As all of the remaining 12 students stood and waited, our wait was over when the plump figure of Shokukuma hopped onto his large podium.

" There you are, ya' little suckers!! So, if your brains ain't fried yet, you'd remember last time a trial ended we got two new surprises yeah?!" He raised a paw into the air. We were all suddenly reminded of the motives and the accessibility to a brand new floor. " Well that's what you're gettin' today!! Brand new floor of this resort and... A MOTIVE!!! Kukukukuku!!"

" You still expect this godforsaken game to go on?!" We turned to see who had shouted. It was Kaiho, teeth clenched tight with anger. " We've already done this twice!! Even the mastermind's dead!! And now you want us to keep going?!" Kaiho was clearly pissed as ever.

" Well of cooourse I do!! Don't you think it's fun kiddos?!" Shokukuma's large claws unsheathed from his plush paws. " Slaughter is all the rages these days, you know! Really gives me a free TV show!! Kukukukuku!!" He began to spin. All that did was fuel our anger. " Lets get on with it!! I've unlocked the way to the third floor, so have fun with that! But before you have fun, MOTIVE TIIIME!! So, you kiddos have been sick before right? Doesn't it suck ass?!" A few of us nodded to answer the bear's question. " Well, the Despair Disease is waaaay worse than just a stupid little cold or something!! And that's exactly what I've released onto three unlucky students here!!"

Janmi hugged himself tightly as his body tensed. " D-Despair... Disease...? Even I don't know what that is...!!" He called out.

" Well, Despair Disease is special, of course a normie like you wouldn't know what it is!!" Shokukuma taunted Janmi, rocking back and forth. " What it does is make the victim act toooootally outta whack!! The only was to stop this damned disease is to, you guessed it, KILL!! Kukuku, since I'm such a nice host, I'll tell you who the hell I infected!!"

Yjaro's body perked up. " You infected some of us?! Who?! " Weird. He's acting a lot more... Panicky? Yeah, panicky.

Fennel folded his arms. " I don't have time for your dumbass games, Shokukuma. Hurry up and spit it out before I make you!!" And god damn, Fennel is never this forceful!

" It doesn't matter anyways... It's just a lost cause, we're all gonna die eventually." Watari murmured from the corner. Her posture was hunched down... She's NEVER like this! She always wants us to keep going forward!! What the hell happened to them...?!
