Makoto was the last of them to wake up. And he definitely scared everyone in the room when he woke up screaming.
"Makoto?! Are you okay?" Aoi asked.
He looked around frantically, before sighing.
"Yeah, I'm fine...." he said.
As Arata sat up, a low wheeze escaped from his mouth as he struggled to move.
"You had us worried." He said.
"Yeah! Really worried!" Monomi said from Miaya's screen.
"Ah...sorry for worrying you guys. But...the time limit passed...and now...someone else is dead..." Makoto commented, sadly.
Each of them looked at each other in mutual sadness.

Kotori groaned as she awoke. She looked around, relieved to see Kyouko, Ryouta, and maybe Koichi were still alive.
"We made it..." Ryouta said.
Almost immediately, Kyouko went to examining Gozu's body.
"Kotori, h-how are you feeling?" Ryouta asked.
"Oh, I don't feel the pain anymore. I just have a headache now." The former investigator replied.
"Oh, yeah, I never asked what happened to you." Koichi said, walking up beside Kotori.
"Oh, y'know. Got hit in the head with a chair. Normal everyday stuff." She said sarcastically.
Koichi chuckled and turned back to Kyouko, who had stood back up.
"Hey, detective, what do you plan on doing now?" He asked.
"I need to find the third victim." She stated, exiting the room, followed by the rest.
As Koichi spoke with Kyouko, Kotori hung back with Ryouta.
"How are you holding up?" She asked the former animator.
"I...I guess I'm just...still trying to process all this." He replied.
"Well, this isn't really anything new to me. Been here before." Kotori said, referring to the killing game of Soaring Heights.
"I-I...I'm sorry..." Ryouta said.
Kotori chuckled. "Don't be. After all, third times a charm."
"That's not..."
"I know. But did I manage to distract you from your negative thinking?" She asked.
Before he answered, Kyouko suddenly walked off in a different direction and Koichi hesitated before going another way.
Kotori and Ryouta, naturally, followed after Kyouko.
However, as they rounded the corner, they were met with a surprising and gruesome sight.
