The press slowly went down towards Kaito's body but when his face was out of view that's when they switched. Kokichi was walking to take his place in the press, Kokichi felt a pair of arms embrace him like he was the only one in the room,

Shove

Kokichi fell on the floor groaning from the pain from his wounds and from the impact from falling to the floor. Before Kokichi or Kaito could even process what just happened. Something hit the button to turn the hydraulic press and it slammed down on an unknown body. Blood got on Kokichi's torso and his pants from the impact. 

"What the hell-" Shuichi said running over to kneel by Kokichi before Kokichi could even move from his place on the floor.  

"I'm sorry this may hurt a bit." He said handing him another antidote for the strike 9 poison that was now coursing through his veins and he began tending to his wounds. Kokichi flinched from the sudden contact and from the stinging of the alcohol that Shuichi was using to clean his wounds. He looked at Shuichi confused and all Shuichi said was,

"Drink the antidote." He spoke in a stern voice. Still in shock from the events that just took place Kokichi hesitantly drank the antidote immediately feeling relief from the antidote allowing his breathing to go back to normal and not be as labored. Kokichi looked at Shuichi and Shuichi looked at him with eyes full of anxiety and fear.

"What are you doing here Shuichi and who the hell just got crushed in the press?!" Kaito said snapping Kokichi and Shuichi out of their trance. 

"I was brought here by a girl. I'm not exactly sure who she was I know that she was not one of the students here..." He said putting the last bandage around Kokichi's torso.

"What how-" Kokichi started confused before being cut off by Kaito.

"How did you even get in here?!" Kaito said not satisfied with the answer he got. 

"Well to start from the beginning I was reading a book in my room and I heard a knock on my door. I rushed to the door thinking someone was there to say that you were safe, but there was a girl there that as I said before I didn't recognize and she had tears in her puffy eyes. She had black hair and was wearing a black hat, glasses, and a black face mask. She also had a black jacket over a dark gray turtle neck. She wore black leggings with white shorty-shorts and tall black combat boots. I was about to ask her who she was but all she did was pull me into a quick hug pulling away after a brief moment before she spoke.

"I have to do something very important and I need your help." She handed me a bottle which was the antidote that I gave to Kokichi when I came here. I was about to ask her a question before she put her finger to my mouth. 

"I don't have much time so you just have to trust me and listen." I nodded briefly before she continued.

"You know Kokichi and Kaito are in the hanger and tonight there is going to be a murder and I'm here to save both of their lives. This bottle in your hand is an antidote. I'm going to take you to the hanger and you need to give Kokichi the antidote and bandage his and Kaito's wounds. I know you probably hate Kokichi at this point and all I can say is that you should give him another chance. You probably don't understand why he did all the things he did and I don't have time to try and explain that to you right now, so just give him another chance." She handed me the first aid kit and grabbed my hand and dragged me to the hanger and opened the hanger and continued to run with me to the press and she did what she told me she was going to do and took Kokichi's place and killed herself to save Kaito from an execution." Shuichi said with a somber look on his face.

"She did that for me?" Kokichi said in utter shock. Shuichi just hugged him and Kokichi just cried.

"I was supposed to die. Not someone who obviously had more value than me in this world!" Kokichi screamed into Shuichi's shoulder surprising Kaito and Shuichi.
