After I briefly explained everything to Aoi, she just cheered and celebrated us being together while she braided Sakura's hair, giving her a little flower crown. I couldn't help but notice that Naegi repeatedly glanced at Sakura, who didn't seem to notice over Aoi's celebration over Chihiro and I. Chihiro didn't pay too much attention to us as he was merely typing on his own laptop. I bit into my apple as suddenly an announcement came through the loud speakers.

Monokuma: Okay you brats! Come to the Gym so I can spill some tea on all of your moral-guided butts! I spent long enough sipping!!
(YN): He sounds mad. Did he become some dog's hump toy or something?
Aoi: Pfft-
Naegi: Either way, we gotta go.

I took another bite of my apple as I tapped Chihiro'a shoulder. Of course, He didn't respond. He never really does whenever I would try and burst his bubble.

As everyone began to walk ahead, I sighed and pushed my chair back. I threw my apple core away and grabbed another apple while also grabbing Chihiro's laptop as I hoisted him over my shoulder, causing him to squeak and blush as he tried to squirm and pry himself away from my hold.

Chihiro: P-Put me down..!
(YN): Nope. Come on. We're gonna be late.

Much to Chihiro's embarrassment and protest, I carried him to the gym and set him down once we arrived to the front of the gym.

Chihiro:...you better not do that..again..
(YN): Most likely will. Don't act like you didn't like it-
Chihiro: Shush!

I chuckled and walked into the gym to see Monokuma was standing on the, now repaired, Podium. Once he noticed my presence, he stood up and seemed to be in shock.

Monokuma: WHAT?! HOW? You fell! I saw it! I saw the Despair in your eyes!
(YN): I don't fall that easily, Bear. What's up?
Monokuma: That's Bogus! I saw it! Grr!

As Monokuma seemed to be fuming, I just bit into my second apple in a nonchalant manor. Once he finally calmed down, he sighed and gave us an irritated look.

Monokuma: So secrets didn't work. Alright, I guess I get it. Some of those secrets were pretty dated.
Junko: No, Really?
Monokuma: Since I am a bear of my word, everything that was on each of your motives is now FRONT page news! So much for a motive.

Though some of us seemed shaken by this reveal, namely Toko stressing about Sho, Chihiro and his gender issue, Aoi with the secret about her bust, even Byakyua and Mondo with their motives. They never really shared it and disposed of it before anyone can see it. While Aoi was just.. very cryptic and vague about her own motive.

Monokuma: Since that didn't go according to plan, I came up with a new one! One of you is a Mole! Dealing and giving me secrets from the inside!
Aoi: What?!
Naegi: Wait, someone is-
Monokuma: That's right! Someone is working for me. And as far as I know, One of you already know who the mole is! I'll leave it to you. Tell 'Em, Naegi!

I turned my attention to Naegi, who's face paled as everyone glanced at him. He just stared, wide eyed as he lowered his head to hide his eyes under his hair..

Naegi:...
Monokuma: Well? C'mon boy! We're waiting!
Naegi: It's.. The mole is... I have reason to believe..
Monokuma: Spit it out!
Naegi: It's.. Sakura..Oogami...
Monokuma: Was that so hard?
Aoi: No! No, N-No that's a lie! Sakura would never do something like that! Tell them Sakura..

As Aoi turned around to see her best friend, the one who has been there for her since the beginning, her eyes widened...

Sakura's head was lowered.. her eyes were overshadowed and she didn't even bother to meet her best friend's gaze...
