I stand and walk over to Negenama who already had her lunch box opened.

"Aren't we going to go find your cousin?"

"Yes just let me eat!" 

Of course, Negenama's top priority is eating, how typical of her. I sigh and nod, allowing her to finish her meal. I had forgotten to pack my lunch this morning and it was too late to do so when I realized so I brought some money to buy snacks from the vending machines. I'll do that later though, this whole literature club legend is pretty intriguing and I don't know why.

"So he won't mind us just going up to him and asking in front of his friends?" I ask.

"No," Negenama replies with food in her mouth, she swallows and finishes her sentence, "He won't care."

Eventually Negenama finishes and we head out of the classroom, going across campus to the part of the school where most of the classes for juniors and seniors were. Negenama walks into a classroom where we both see her cousin and his two other friends, Sophia Minami and Joshua Butler. 

"Brayannnn" Negenama calls out to him, startling him in the process.

"Oh hey Negenama, Hakuoh."

I awkwardly say hello to him, feeling bad about interrupting whatever him and his friends were doing, Negenama however didn't care at all.

"Could you please tell Hakuoh about the literature club? She doesn't believe me!"

The three of them look at each other sadly, Brayan nodding and gesturing we come closer to them and sit. We do as directed and sit next to them, still feeling a bit awkward.

"What do you want to know about the literature club?" he asks me.

"U-Um.." I pause, what did I want to know about this mysterious club? "Well.. I'd like to know about the members, their disappearances, and if this is all actually real."

The three stare at me, making me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Brayan starts talking "Well.. There was Sayori Fujiwasha, Natsuki Maruyama, Monika Kühn, Yuri Volkov, and Collin Maruata.

"Sayori was your friend, right?"

He nods, shocked I had known but he then remembers Negenama would have probably told me.

"What was she like?" I ask.

"Well.. Sayori was a complete sweetheart to everyone, she was a bit clingy though. She loved everyone except herself causing her suicide which drove the other girls to absolute insanity."

"Do you know anything about the other girls or Collin?"

"Not much, I don't even know if Collin is alive. Probably not but-"

"He lived?!" Negenama blurted out in shock.

They shrug, not sure.

"I mean, it is possibly but unlikely because well he saw the corpses of his best friends fresh after death" Sophia replies.
