"Don't touch it!" Likiya said when he saw Kenta was about to touch the katana. It will be tampering of crime scene if someone will touch the murder weapon.

All of the remaining members decided to stay inside the practice room and even though they already called for help, no one is coming to rescue them. Zin asked Kenta and Rui to look for some staff around since they noticed that their phones don't have signals.

"It seems the networks are also affected with the power interruption earlier." Kazuma said while sitting besides Makoto. He is keeping his distance with the younger because they all got worried about him when he saw how pale his face is.

"I want to go to the restroom." Hokuto mumbled and Itsuki suddenly touched his arm, making him look at him.

"We will just go to the restroom." Itsuki said and the two went out of the practice room already.

The other members flipped the table again and picked up the tarot cards from the floor. Takahide got the curtains and covered Ryu's corpse. The smell of the blood started to circulate inside the practice room, so they keep the door open.

"There's no staff around. We don't know where they went. The elevator is not working. We looked at the surveillance cameras and they are also not working." Rui said as he pointed the camera above them.

"How about the emergency exits?" Likiya asked and the two shook their heads.

"All of the emergency exits are locked." The two finally arrived from the restroom. Then, Hokuto took a sealed bottle of water and twisted the cap to drink from it. Rui did the same but after some seconds, he started to vomit blood and he fell down on the floor.

"Rui!" They rushed towards Rui and Hokuto dropped the bottle of water he is holding and fell down on the floor as well with his eyes widened.

"Hoku-chan! Daijoubu?!" The younger moved backwards, shocked that his co-member is grasping for his life in front of his very own eyes.

"Rui! Oi! What's happening?! Rui!" Kenta shook the lifeless body of Rui and his tears started to fall. His childhood friend is already gone and he can't believe that it happened in front of him.

"Rui-san.." Hokuto mumbled and he started to cry silently. He slowly got up and started to scream, wiping off the remaining bottles of water on the table.

"Hoku-chan. Hoku-chan, calm down." Riku immediately held the younger and pulled him away from the corpse. They saw the ripped Eight of Swords on the table and the other members are also pulling Kenta away from Rui.

"Ryu is dead! Rui-san is dead! Who will be next?! Me?! If I got Rui-san's bottle, then I'm the one who is dead right now and not him! No one is even rescuing us from here!" They all looked away with what the vocalist said.

When Hokuto and Kenta are finally calmed down, they covered Rui's dead body with the curtains. They are all silent and contemplating or maybe, regretting that they didn't do anything to prevent the death of their two friends.

How can they call themselves as members of THE RAMPAGE when two of their members are already gone? The remaining members are now scared to drink even a single drop of water from the sealed bottles because of what happened to Rui. Even though they are already thirsty, they prefer to swallow their own saliva than to be dead.
