Shuichi's POV ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I awoke in the morning, dreading what was scheduled to happen today. Last night Akamatsu had come so I put on a hoodie and opened the door. She had asked what happened and where Ouma was. I said I did't know and that's why I came back so late, because I got lost. She didn't question anything, and was glad as I was back safely. "Safely". And hugged me goodbye. I should probably inform Ouma about the lie and help him make one for himself. Why am I helping Him anyways? Because of pity? I think I was just too tired from the day's shit. And probably will be today too. I decided to wear my uniform from the killing game out of spite for the wretched mastermind. Throughout my morning routine of brushing my teeth, hair, eating breakfast, etc. I did wonder whether or not she was brainwashed to do it too since we all were said to have fabricated personalities and lives. Maybe it was the same with her. Whatever we'll find out. I took one last glance at the clock. It was 7:53 a.m. I planned to be at the main hall at 8:00 a.m and wait there until she showed up. I cleaned up and walked outside to the main hall with my back straightened and clenched fists. I had no idea what to expect. But whatever it was, I convinced myself I was ready for it. Probably lied, but the confidence for this portion of it was all I needed. I need to promise myself one thing too. I must attempt to be at least slightly friends with Shirogane, especially if she was brainwashed. I have to try and be friendly with her. It's the right thing to do. I think.

I arrived at the main hall and opened the doors. No one was there yet, I mean, no one knew where she was going to come from but some did follow me after seeing me walk so concentrated down the street. More specifically Ouma, Akamatsu, Kiibo, Chabashira, Iruma, Gokuhara, Maki (dragged by Momota), Momota, Tojo and Amami. I hadn't noticed them until the doors shut behind me when I had left them open. I turned around at an alarming speed.

"G-guys?"

Kiibo:"Hello!"

Kaito:"Sorry for sneakin' up on you like that."

Kokichi:"Yeah, but like, why were you so serious. Like lighten up a bit, Y'know."

Maki:"Say like again and I'll kill you."

Kokichi:"You can't So, like, yeah." Ouma was smirking at the visibly irritated Maki.

Kaede:"Well? Why are you so serious? Saihara-kun?"

"Well, because.... I need to be."

"Why? Cause Shirogane's gonna come?"

Kiibo:"Affirmative! Right Saihara-kun?"

"Yes Kiibo, it is correct."

Kirumi:"Okay but you don't have to be serious all the time. Especially by yourself. You have friends, people you can trust. We are here to help you."

Kokichi:"I don't think it's his fault for not being able to trust everyone whole heartedly. Especially with what happened through the end of his life. Possibly early too but, he doesn't remember sooo."

Rantarou:"I mean, Ouma-kun has got a point. Sorry guys."

Kaede:"It's okay Amami-kun. We know you are just a big bro to everyone, so you can stand Ouma." My senses were heightened at this point in time. I was awaiting any sign of someone or something entering. I was on point since a few seconds later, a big sound of "wooosh" passed into the building. With a faint laughter in the background. Dragging in dust from who knows where causing Kiibo to sneeze.
