"Execution..." These words barely made it out of my mouth. The price of killing is death. An eye for an eye. A life for a life. The silent room's atmosphere was dark, heavy and-

THUD!

I felt the floor move slightly, a rumble. When I looked around though...
Roxy was on the floor, looking like she was sleeping. I rushed to her side and shook her.
"Wake up, Roxy!"
She didn't respond. Without thinking, I stared at her and-

SLAP!

"What was that for!?" I sighed and smiled. At least she's okay. "Where am I? What's going on?"

"Roxy? What's wrong!?
"Where are we, who are all these people?" She looked at Monokuma, then to me.

"AND WHAT IS THAT THING!?"
Something feels off about her. She was just talking to Monokuma and now doesn't even know him. What the?

"Monokuma. Woah, Woah, Woah! You forgot me!?"
"What time is it?" Roxy asked, slowly getting up.
"Midday."
"Last I remember is 11.45."

So she forgot 15 minutes before she fainted... Interesting. Bad, but interesting. The question is though:

"Why did you faint?"
Roxy sighed and looked at me.
"When he said about execution, I thought blood. I faint at the sight or thought of blood. Maybe there's an added memory loss too?"
This is new.

"So," Monokuma jumped back on stage and shouted out. "You all need to know each other, so you can be friends! Find the student and they will be unlocked on your friendship menu! Ta ta for now!" He left as abruptly as he came in. The room was now in awkward silence.

"Let's start introducing ourselves..." Someone called out.
"Okay."

When I looked at my menu, Roxy was the only one unlocked. 1 down, 14 to go. I saw the tall ginger girl again and ran towards her, only to trip.

"Ow..."
Huh?
When I looked up, there stood a ginger tabby cat wearing a light blue collar and a red bow on top of its head. I knew who this was.

Tiddles Jones. My pet cat. In an academy. Wow.
"Woah! Bellatrix!? I knew they couldn't find many applicants, but this is bad!"
"Nice to see you again."
PLING!
My tablet made a strange sound, and when I went to check it, Tiddles' profile was added.

She promptly left. That was interesting. I got up and tried to get to the ginger girl, finally getting there. This girl was much taller than me, wearing a pink hoodie and blue leggings with pink boots. Her hair was long and ginger, down to her waist. There was a white ribbon tied into her hair.
"Um... Do I know you?"
I stared blankly. Then it happened.
"Are you Hailey-Mae Hethel?"
"KYAH!? HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME!?" She stopped. "Wait. Bellatrix?"
Looks like I was correct. She is part of a group with me, Roxy and Tiddles.
PLING!
The data was already on my tablet by the time I looked at it.
