"What?" Gonta asked.

"Did I fucking stutter?" Miu asked instead.

Miu strode away while Gonta followed.

"So... where do you think Ouma-kun is now...?" Gonta asked timidly.

"The damn library, that's where," Miu huffed.

"Why?" Gonta asked, his head tilted in confusion.

"Well, where the fuck else could he be? I mean, he has that damn shot put ball, and my drone which I used to take aerial pictures of the library. Whatever he is planning has to be there!" Miu declared with certainty as they headed to the library.

"Oh, Iruma-san is smart," Gonta complimented.

"Oh fucking course I am," Miu bragged, as they walked and didn't talk much. And the silence stretched...

And stretched...

"Iruma-san OK?" Gonta finally asked.

"I'm as OK as I will ever be. Why are you asking?" Miu asked.

"Gonta noticed Iruma-san looking uncomfortable, so Gonta ask..." Gonta said, fidgeting a little.

Miu almost scowled, but she kept it in. What did Gonta expect? He almost killed her, and he was here with her with absolutely no witnesses...

Even though he had many opportunities to kill her in the moments afterwards in his first attempts when they were alone together... but Miu can't just stop being uncomfortable.

And regardless knowing it was Kokichi's fault all along... the fact that Gonta, Gonta who wants to be a gentleman, always protects his friends, the kind of guy who would never hurt a fly, Gonta of all people...!

"Iruma-san... Gonta think you lying about not being uncomfortable. Gonta sure it because of that... but-"

"But? But what?! You almost killed me!" Miu almost shouted but managed to keep her voice low. The fact that Miu was almost killed... and her would be killer is...

Miu knew Gonta was manipulated by Kokichi but that does not make him innocent. At any time, he could have refused... and he didn't. It scared her... the fact that someone actually almost killed her.

Miu knew that it could happen at anytime, but it did not mean she was prepared for it. And more than anything, she wanted to live. Seeing death just made her feel she couldn't even accomplish everything she wanted to do. Never made up the years she lost...

After the car crash, Miu went into coma for a few months losing that precious time although she did get her Ultimate in exchange for it. But Miu felt vulnerable and behind thanks to it, with her peers seeming more ahead of her even if she did catch up eventually. Thanks to that, she wanted to never waste her life like that again which is why she wanted to make inventions that could help people live despite being in coma like her, to live their life to the fullest... which Miu couldn't do right now being stuck here...

Which was why she wanted to escape, was ready to kill, was so scared of death which was similar to her coma but more final.

And the reason why she was sticking with Gonta and Kokichi, hoping that they have something that could help them get out of here, especially Kokichi even after that incident, common sense would dictate her to stay far away from them. Thank God that Miu Iruma does not bother with the laws of common sense, she makes her own!

"But Gonta really regret that incident," Gonta said, not mentioning anything about the k-word, as if he wanted to avoid it, "And he think that if not in killing game, Gonta and Iruma-san would make good friends..."
