The killing game was over. It was finally over.
Out of the sixteen students, only three remained. Maki Harukawa, Himiko Yumeno and Shuichi Saihara.
All Shuichi wants is a second chance to save everyone who died. To do things differently, to do thi...
Shuichi turned his head at the sound of someone at his door but didn't move from his bed. He didn't see a point in moving.
The person, whoever it was, would probably go away after a while of waiting and getting no reply. They had probably just turned up due to social protocol, they didn't didn't really care about him.
He heard a large sigh from the side of the door but he didn't hear any footsteps walking away, like he was expecting to hear.
After a few more moments, Shuichi buried his head back into his pillow and closed his eyes, wanting to block out all of the memories and flashbacks that were rushing through his head one after the other.
He wanted to block himself off from everyone.
It was the only way to keep everyone else safe. He had to keep his distance and prevent the murders in the background.
Another knock, this one slightly louder than the first, emerged from the other side of the door again. Shuichi took a sigh and finally sat up on his bed.
"Who is it?" His voice was slightly raspy from not speaking.
"Guess!~" The childish voice arose from the other side of the door, answering the taller boy's question almost immediately.
Shuichi raised a hand to his face and wiped his eyes, attempting to get rid of the redness that the crying had caused. "Kokichi.. just come back tomorrow.. I just want to get some sleep."
Kokichi's eyes narrowed. Something didn't seem right about that sentence, or how the other boy had said it.. so he decided that he would continue to investigate. "You left back there, are you sure that you're oka-"
"I'm fine." Shuichi stormed towards the door and opened it, cutting Kokichi off before he could even finish his sentence.
The smaller boy took a deep breath as he focused on the detective's tired and tear-stained face.
He wasn't fine.
He wasn't fine at all.
Shuichi.. are you okay?" Kokichi asked sincerely.

"..just go." Shuichi's voice was extremely weak. The other boy took a deep breath, knowing that this was a complete lie. But at least he knew that Shuichi hadn't done anything erratic or stupid yet..
"I'm not going, I'm going to stay here all night if I have to."
If Shuichi had learnt anything about the smaller boy from the last game, it was that he wasn't one to give up. The taller boy shook his head and slammed the door in the liar's face with a loud 'bang'. Kokichi let out a noise of frustration, hearing that Shuichi had walked back to his bed again.
