scenario one
none of them would admit it, but the twelve remaining students had unconsciously become accustomed to this game. they were on-edge when alone with classmates they didn't know well, trying to avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time. they were ready to pick up and begin another investigation if the situation called for it. you couldn't blame them, though- investigations put their lives on the line.
kaede had been trying her hardest to resist becoming used to the game. it was wrong, she kept reminding everyone. this isn't the way they should live. they had to keep fighting. most admired her spirit, but even they had to admit that if two murders had already been committed, there wasn't anything stopping another student from committing a third.
the new floor had been unlocked yesterday, and it wasn't too busy, as everyone had explored it the day it had opened up. but (y/c) was heading up the stairs to look through it again, on their own. they turned down the first hall and followed it all the way down, but when the hallway turned, (y/c) had to do a double take.
sure enough, it was kaede akamatsu, lying on her side in the middle of the hallway. her eyes were shut, and a cut the length of her finger was bleeding a bit at the base of her neck. there were no visible injuries anywhere else, but it seemed as if she had collapsed. (y/c) couldn't see it from where they were standing, but thankfully, she was still breathing.
what do you do?

scenario two
(y/c) had told themselves that they wouldn't give in. nothing monokuma could throw at them could make them succumb and kill somebody else. but that mindset was gone the second they finished their motive video. ( you can decide the video was about! ) they needed to get out of here, and get out of here now.
the issue was who to kill. they didn't want it to have to come to this, but they had to pick someone. they mentally went through the list of their remaining classmates in their head before settling on one. kaede.
it'd be almost too easy. she was on the taller side, sure, but she didn't seem like the type of girl that would be able to fight back very well. if they waited until she was in her lab, it'd be almost too easy to catch her off guard while she was playing the piano. besides, she had been a huge part of figuring out the culprit in the previous trial. if (y/c) killed someone else, they were more likely to be found out and executed. they weren't sure they wanted to do this, but it was their best chance of getting out of this place alive.
the next day, (y/c) was roaming the halls. every so often, they passed by kaede's lab, hoping to hear music coming from inside. their first few laps yielded nothing. but after three tries, they came around again- and sure enough, the door to the lab was half open, and from inside, they could hear music drifting out- chopin's 'raindrop' prelude, to be exact. looking inside, (y/c) saw kaede, enveloped in the song, her back turned towards the door. now was their chance!
