The horrid sight made (Name) sick to her stomach.

She didn't personally like her, but Tsumugi didn't deserve to die. Especially, not in a horrid way like she did.

There was what looked like a bullet wound in the center of her forehead, and she was in a pool of her own blood. Some was dried, and seemed to be dripping from her wound. The rest of her body was unharmed, except for the large cut on her calf.

"Oh my god..." Even Maki was taken by surprise, and took a small step back.

"I think I'm gonna be sick..." (Name) put a hand to her mouth.

Ding dong, bing bong!

"A body has been discovered!" the Monokuma Kubs announced.

That's all (Name) heard. She completely disregarded the rest of the announcement as she soon lost her balance.

"Ah, (Name)!" Someone called her name and caught her before she fell, and there was a hint of black clothing before her eyes gave in.

(Name) woke up on a bed that wasn't hers, and saw someone next to her. When she saw Shuichi sitting on his chair, asleep, she blushed a bit.

"Shuichi..." She gently shook his shoulders. "Wake up..."

"Hm...?" When he opened his eyes, the detective felt his face get warm. "A- Ah...! Sorry, I guess I fell asleep."

"You did... how did I get here? This is your room, isn't it?"

It was then his turn to blush. "I, uh... brought you here since you passed out... sorry..."

(Name) chuckled, fixing his hat. "That's alright! I'm glad you care."

After a silent moment, the detective stood up. "Well... I guess we should get going. The investigation time will end soon."

The two stood up, walking out of the room. However, before (Name) exited, she stood behind Shuichi, her grin menacing.

"Hey, Shuichi?"

"What's up, (Name)?"

"Can you promise me something?" (Name) stepped closer to the detective, her cheeks tinted pink.

"Promise...?"

"I want to get out of this with you," she told him. "You're the reason we're still alive. Please..."

He hesitated, not wanting to make promises he wasn't sure he could keep. But the words came out of his mouth before he even knew he said them.

"I promise."

Shuichi had so much faith in finding the culprit. And the six remaining students, (Name), Keebo, Maki, Himiko, and himself, knew that the mastermind would be found out.

But was he in for the worst.

The words flew out of his mouth before he could even process what he just said.

"You are the culprit and the mastermind, (Name) (Last Name), the Ultimate (Talent)!"

(Name) froze.

"H... Huh?"

"What did you just say?" Maki questioned.

"(N- Name)? The killer, and the mastermind?" Himiko clenched her fists. "No way!"
