Nozomu woke up early in the morning as to explore more of the 2nd floor alone, She decided to explore the library first. Looking at all the books, Most were normal till she got to the True Educational Section that had a Monokuma sticker on the sign. Nozomu thought this was a little excessive but looking at the books makes sense. "Rantaro's Guide to win a Killing game", "How to get away with Murder" by Enkoshi Juoma", even a book called. "Blood and Guts, A Dummy's guide how to clean, by Monotaro". Nozomu was just stinned yet annoyed, of course the bear would put books of Murder as "Educational".

Nozomu was sick of this bear's games. So She left, not before grabbing the files she saught yesterday, wanting to take a look if them later at night. But for now, she knew she was up so she might as well explore the other areas. Nozomu decided to take a swim in the pool, before realizing she didn't have a swim suit, so she wondered where she could get one. She went off to look for Monokuma. And as if on cue, Monokuma appeared behind Nozomu, scaring her as she turned around. "GAH!! MONOKUMA JESUS YOU FLIPPING SCARED ME!" Nozomu yelled, making Monokuma giggle. "Upupupupu~ You are so funny when your scared little hope child~" Monokuma said.

Nozomu sighed and looked around. "Monokuma since the pool is open, I wanted to know if there's a way I could get a swim suit?" Nozomu asked. Monokuma nodded. "All lockers withing the locker rooms have predetermined swimsuits made for all of you snot nosed brats, they fit like gloves" Monokuma said, confusing Nozomu. "How do you know?" Nozomu asked. "Just trust me on that one" Monokuma said. Nozomu sighed and nodded, not wanting to question Monokuma further.

Nozomu went into the girls changing room and pulled out a navy blue Swimsuit from the locker she was assigned. She put on said swimsuit and realized Monokuma was right.. oddly enough that made her spine shiver. Nozomu just distracted her thoughts on theorizing how Monokuma knew and just went to the pool. Nozomu jumped in and swam around, alone for a while, enjoying the complete silence of the room, the water calm, the smell of chlorine. It reminded her of when She went to her auntie's house and swan in the pool. 

Nozomu was alone when she heard the door open, some of the boys walked in, Mainly Usagi, Tsuyan and Kuzato. "Oh good morning Nozomu!" Kuzato said before getting splashed by a wave of water, that was caused by Usagi jumping into the pool. Nozomu giggled. "Good morning Kuzato! enjoying the waves~?" Nozomu teased. she internally was shocked she could, like how? She didn't know, she just smiled at Kuzato. "Oh Yeah, yeah... Im good" Kuzato said carefully climbing in the pool. Tsuyan took the role as life guard since there appeared not to be one. Nozomu and Kuzato talked and swam for a while.

Suddenly the doors opened again as more girls walked in. Yoi.. or Warui, No one could tell since there was no scrunchie in her hair to tell the difference, walked in with Tsuyoi and Kirade. Nozomu perked up and yelled for Kirade to come over. Kuzato smiled and greeted her and everyone. Kirade happily ran and jumped in, before swimming to the two. "Hello guys!" Kirade said, with a cheerful smile, that was infectious. Kuzato smiled back. Nozomu just giggled and soon chatted with the two. Talking about the current events in this hellish school.

"S-So.. do you both think we'll make it out of this alive?" Kuzato asked. sounding a little scared.
Nozomu nodded. "Im sure that the first case was nothing but a hiccup, there's no way we'd all betray each other now! We have to have hope" Nozomu said reassuringly. "Oh Nozomu, you are such a lighthearted soul, how do you stay positive?" Kirade asked giggling and blushing a little. "I just think of what my parents told me, in situations like these, they told me to have a light heart, even when things are tough, hope, positivity, kindness, and surveillance" Nozomu explained. "Surveillance?" Kuzato asked. Nozomu nodded, "I usually have a nack for being aware of my surroundings."

Nozomu smiled and giggled as Kirade and Kuzato were confused. Things were fine in the pool as the Koun sister silently left, having enough of Usagi splashing everyone. Soon everyone else followed besides Usagi who stayed in there for a while. Kirade, and Nozomu got changed and met Kuzato in the classrooms, just wanting to talk more and more and even clear the dumb stuff off of the chalk board they assumed Monokuma wrote. They sighed. "I hope we can stop him" Kirade said, still a little scared. "We will Kirade, Im sure of it" Nozomu said, having all the confidence in the world.

At night time everyone had done nothing but mess around for the entire day so it was boring, they all made food together though some skipped dinner and just went to bed. Nozomu smiled, thinking tonight was another night and went off to bed after having a full stomach. //At least mu stomach isn't  full of melatonin// Nozomu though, in some sort of sick way it was funny and Nozomu knew that. She walked to her room and went to bed that night not thinking anything was unusual.

"Worthless"

"Dumb Daughter"

"Nozomu why are you so annoying?!"

"Your a disgrace"

Nozomu jolted awake from a nightmare. She panted. realizing it was another one. She usually had these nightmares when she was stressed. She got up and decided to go to the kitchen to get a drink of some juice from the kitchen. She carefully walked out of her form room and went into the hall. She didn't think anything of the scene around her until she saw Warui's door was open. Nozomu sighed and went to close it when she looked inside the room and looked. there was a sleeping.. no wait.. there was no breathing... "...!!!!!!!"

"UPUPUPU~! A BODY HAD BEEN DISCOVERED, INVESTIGATION THEN TRIAL~!" Monokuma yelled over the speaker. Nozomu teared up and cried.
Whatever confidence she had before was now gone...
