"So; the main question... where are we going to sleep?"
Maki, Shuichi and Tenko gathered in the 5th empty room, sitting in a circle.
"Since we're the only ones taking care of the sick, we should sleep close to him... here would be fine." Maki suggested.
"Yeah, we could ask Angie to make more beds!" Tenko laughed.
"Isn't she burnt out?" Shuichi awkwardly asked, sitting cross-crossed.
"I doubt Angie would break a sweat over bed making. It's easy for her, the Ultimate Artist." Maki sighed.
"Would we need bunk beds, or regular beds..? I mean, this room is pretty small, so.."
"We're not sharing a bed." Maki growled.
"I wasn't suggesting that!!" Tenko gasped. "Well, If It was only Shuichi then I'd be fine."
"Everyone would've kicked your ass the moment you said that." Shuichi laughed.
"I guess I'm just comfortable with you!" Tenko smiled. "Don't worry, I'm not gonna steal ya. You're all for Kokichi, ok? Even if he is a degenerate male, I completely support him being your boyfriend!"
"I... agree.." Maki mumbled.
"S-Since when did you get that idea!?" Shuichi squeaked.
"It's so obvious!" Tenko teased.
"Okay, shut up. We'll talk later about this. We'll have a sleepover or something." Maki silences the two, but it didn't last for long. Shuichi and Tenko laughed together and acted like they were preteens at a huge slumber party.

Soon enough, the room was made into a comfortable environment for the three students.
Maki's blanket was red with some black designs near the ends, With the same design on the pillows made by Tsumugi. It was a single bed.
Tenko and Shuichi shared a bunk bed, Tenko being top.
Tenko's bed consisted of green blankets and covers with a huge Neo-Aikido symbol in the middle, her designs being white and girly.
Shuichi's bed was a simple blue, nothing too fancy. Only the bottoms had some design marks on them that were light blue, but that's pretty much it.
"... Is it bad that I'd want to sleep here forever?" Maki mumbled, astonished.
"All done in a couple of hours? I can't believe it." Shuichi chuckled.
"WHOO!! I'm top!! Yeah!!!" Tenko laughed loudly, jumping to the top and flopping on it.
Maki and Shuichi went over to their beds, sitting on them and laying their bags down.
"We'll just go one at a time to our own rooms for showers.." Shuichi mumbled, smiling.
"Yeah." Maki nodded. "Anyway, before all of this, I had Miu set security cameras on my Handbook. All to monitor the four rooms."
"I'll just upload the footage to your Handbooks also, which will probably take some time since I'm not that experienced with computers."
What a lie. Shuichi rolled his eyes and peeked up to Tenko, looking down at him.
"Since Maki is gonna do that, who's your crush?" She plainly asked, smiling stupidly.
"W-What a way to ask!" Shuichi blushed, looking away. "I don't think I like... like anyone right now. Not in that way, I guess."
"Come onn, you needa like someone here!" Tenko giggled, jumping down from her bed and sitting onto Shuichi's.
"It's not Himiko. She's mine."
"She's yours," Shuichi nods. "But this is a killing game. If I love, that person will most likely die. After what happened with Kaede... I can't stand that grief again."
"Depressing, but who helped you regain your strength?" Tenko asked, scooting closer to Shuichi. "Kokichi, right? Don't you feel the slightest bit of gay for him?"
"Odd question." Shuichi laughed.
"Why would you want to know so badly?"
"Cuz I wanna help you!! And I'm in the mood, so." Tenko chuckled, crossing her legs.
"Just because I'm the only boy here doesn't mean you can treat me like a girl."
"What's your favorite color?"
"Blue..?"
"See, I do this because I'm bored." Tenko yawned. "Also, I don't want you to suffer like the others. You're cool, but I wouldn't date you. Cuz you suck!! Obviously," She plainly said.
"That's not very nice.." Shuichi mumbled.
"It wasn't supposed to be." Tenko shrugged.
"But I never got answer out of you yet!! Do you or do you not like Kokich-"
"How will we cure this sickness?" Maki suddenly asked, leaning back and biting her thumb.

Shuichi and Tenko blinked, looking over to Maki.
"Um... You mean like medicine, right?" The detective looked around.
"Medicine... Yeah, that cures sick people!" Tenko exclaimed.
"Yes... But where will we get it?" Maki mumbled to herself, checking her Handbook once more and loading the Camera screen. "Himiko is the only person I can think of with medical supplies handy. But.. That just might consist of first-aid, not anything special to mend a disease. I have mostly poison or weapons and we don't know what Shuichi has."
"Are you implying that we should ask him?" Tenko snarled.
"We might have to. He's our only source of supplies and tools around here, so it's the best we could do." Maki replied, nodding at Shuichi.
"Monokuma?" Shuichi called, between silent and loud.
He was about to say more, but the split second that Shuichi called, Monokuma popped up right in front of them.. Well, in the middle, at least.
"Ughh... Whadya' want now?" The bear groaned, crossing his stubby arms. "I was going to take a nice, warm bath..."
"You didn't have to tell us that!" Tenko growled.
"We kind of... Need your help on something." Shuichi mumbled.
"What? Me? Help? Ahahaha!!!" Monokuma laughed. "What do you think I am, some cuddly toy you can just pry stuff out of!?"
"We're not asking for candy, we're asking for medicine." Maki demanded, sighing.
"Why would I give you medicine?" Monokuma mocked.
"Would you want multiple students to die from a stupid disease? Wouldn't that just ruin the fun and shorten the game?" Maki growled. "That's not very despair-inducing, is it? It's just boring. Now give us the medicine or I'll pick the cotton out of you and burn it."
"... Huh, now that you mention it.."
Monokuma giggled, pulling out a small purse and sliding it on the floor. The top opened, and some small bottles rolled out a bit.
"I was originally gonna give you the medicine anyway, but since you said that I guess it can't be helped. Make sure to read the label!~" Monokuma sang, disappearing once again.
