The next day, within the walls of Trustient Academy... It was breakfast time. Everyone was a bit paranoid about their motive being given. Some are not, even with the people from the broken cup incident. As Lica finished her breakfast, someone brought Lica's attention.
Karla: Hey, Lica. I have a favor to ask.
Lica: What is it?
Karla: Can you meet with me at my dorm room? We have something to discuss.
Lica: Sure... (... I still remember what Jake did... But that won't help if I think more about it...)Just as Karla finished her food, she made her way to her room. There, Lica went out & made her way to Karla's dorm room. When she arrived, she closes the door & start talking.
Lica: Karla? Is there a problem?
Karla: Well... ... ... I NEED HELP!!!!!
Lica: Help in what?!
Karla: -sigh- ... As you may know, I'm an author. I can handle any kinds of books. I'm just like Jake, but different. He's more into novels since he's into writing them... And it might end up becoming a visual novel...
Lica: Ahem. What did you say?
Karla: Oh... Yeah... Sorry... Moving on, just like Jake, we need inspirations & things in order to make a book, but...
Lica: But what?
Karla: I NEED IDEAS IN ORDER TO MAKE ONE! I MEAN, SERIOUSLY!
Lica: Whoa! Calm down... And, why do you need to write? I mean, I never seen Jake did any literature work here.
Karla: Well... Jake only writes on times when there's something interesting that happens... While I... Write to calm my nerves down & make an interesting view on a real incident... Or facts to be exact.
Lica: (She sure is different to him... ... I know I need to move on... But how? Everytime I hear & say his name, I always feel bad... I... Usually think I supposed to make the move, then-)
Karla: On earth, Lica! What are you thinking? I hope it is an idea. I REALLY need an idea to make a story.
Lica: Oh, got it. Well... More resources are found in the library, so... Maybe we can go there...
Karla: Fantastic! Let's go there imediately... And of course, with my notes at hand...Lica and Karla made their way to the library. Predictably, meeting a person which is obvious in staying there...
Lica: Hi Miccah, are you now not scared in entering the library?
Miccah: Kinda... You see... I'm still having some nightmares... I'm kinda scared... What if I end up being dead?
Karla: I'm sure you won't... I mean, whatever the secret is, there's no other way, than to tell the truth.
Lica: Yeah... So, let's start finding for ideas. Maybe we should start with your favorite sections or genres.
Karla: My favorite genre?.. Well, let's start with science fiction aka Sci-fi.
Lica: I never knew you're interested in it... Anyways, let's start searching...
Miccah: You can also ask me anything. I'll be glad to help.And so, they started working. Lica is checking on sci-fi books about botany and paleontology. Karla is reading a book about theoretical chemistry. (Some might write fictional things about it...) And Miccah is reading a medium high stack of books. They're all about documents & science.
2 hours later, and it looks like Miccah wasn't leaving the library now, even though it's beyond 9:30 am. Lica is now returning a book. There, Lica noticed Miccah and asks her questions.
Lica: Miccah? Why are you still here? Aren't you supposed to be out now?
Miccah: Well... You see... I noticed that Karla needs ideas. She told me about it. Since ideas are always found in the library, I thought it's best to help her in giving ideas. Just as I give her my ideas, she said that it wasn't her taste... So I search for more... But no luck.
Lica: So you're helping her?Lica approach to Karla, and began to ask her.
Lica: Karla, why did you not tell me about this? And, why did you want me to help you when Miccah was helping you?
Karla: And why didn't you spot on my lie until now? Still lack of evidence?
Lica: You know... I might spot lies... But I meant in cases and serious times... Plus, I'm a highschool student, I am still learning even though I'm an ultimate.
Karla: I see... But, is it possible to believe in someone without any evidence? Cause you know, I feel like we all can't trust anyone...
Lica: (How can I answer that? I believe in my work, but how come I didn't accept it? So my answer to that question might be...) It depends. We might not know if belief happens in murder, or not...
Karla: I see... ... ... I think I have an idea on a new book...
Miccah: What is it? I'm eager to hear!
Karla: I'll be... WRITING OUR JOURNEY OF OUR STAY HERE & THE KILLING GAME!
Lica: WHAT?! ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT IT?!
Miccah: Why do you need to go that far?
Karla: You see... In every story, there will be twists and turns, right?
Lica: Are you literally going to write about it? It might be depressing.
Karla: This should do. Even though it's depressing, including with the truth, every story has a moral. So, this can give a learning... To 18+ mystery stories.
Lica: I think I got the full picture.
Miccah: And the one thing I hope... I hope that I won't end up dead.
Karla: Why do you need to bring that up? It's not our topic...
Miccah: If this will be published, with me as a victim or killer, my privacy and secrets will be revealed! Which is embarrassing!The room went silent... Suddenly, they all started laughing.
Karla: I forgot about that... Don't worry, I will have your name covered and some information fictional.
Lica: But if it is a book, what shall you title the book? My idea will be; "Monobuda's death game".
Miccah: That might not caught my attention. How about; "The suffering of Trustient Academy".
Lica: That might be too offensive. Other schools might be having that name...
Karla: You know what... There is a title I want to suggest.
Miccah: What is it?
Karla: Something that can caught anyone's attention, and something not offensive... Well, how about "The truth and the mistrust! The story of the ultimate hopes"?
Miccah: That caught my eye! Not literally because of my glasses obviously.
Lica: Also my taste, but... Why do you add "The truth and the mistrust"?
Karla: You know what... Every character has a main character. The main characters will be the 16 of us... But the most main character aka protagonist... Is going to be you, Lica.
Lica: Me? The protagonist? You know the protagonist needs to survive...
Karla: Of course, that's why I have high hopes for you. I hope you would survive this killing game. Not just for my story, but for friendship.
Lica: I understand, but you know that friendship might end up a betrayal.
Karla: That's why... Even though we're completely strangers except for Jake & Kiki... We'll still be close classmates and friends. I hope we both can become friends.
Lica: If so then... I won't refuse. Besides, some people do the begging cliche.
Miccah: Lol. Anyways, shall we go now start writing? I can help you with that.
Karla: Alright, here we go!In the end, they all help Karla in writing her new story. It seems like Lica is enjoying her time a bit talking with them.
