"Everyone, thank you for making time in your busy schedules to come together." Taka said.

"I didn't make time for shit. You dragged me here..." Leon said.

"I know I already mentioned this earlier, but...In order to get out of here, it is essential that we all cooperate with each other. And the first step is this breakfast meeting, to allow us to become friends and build trust! So from now on, lets all meet here in the dining hall every morning after the morning announcement! Now then, lets eat!" Taka announced.

"You w-want me to eat breakfast with other p-people? I've never done that b-before. I'm not s-sure..." Toko stuttered.

"Yeah, it's been awhile for me too." Leon said.

"Well anyway...did anyone happen to come up with any clues?" Junko asked.

Silence echoed through the hall.

"Seriously? Nothing at all? Anything, it can be about how to get out, or who's doing this, nobody has anything!?" Junko yelled.

"...You are going to die." Celeste said.

"Huh...?" Junko asked.

"If you can't stop yourself from showing weakness in front of others...you will die." Celeste said.

"Wh-What the hell? Don't even freaking joke about that!" Junko said.

"I am not joking. Adaptability is survivability. Did I not say so? So you'd better hurry up and adapt to your new life here." Celeste explained.

"Have you completely gone insane? Adapt to my new life here? Do you have any idea what you're saying?" Junko said.

"Yeah, sounds like the girl wants to live here. And hell, more power to her. But shit...No way in hell am I living in here! I'm gettin' outta here, I don't give a shit!" Mondo said.

"Mmhm. Sure, feel free." Celeste said.

"Okay, so...nobody has any clues?" Leon asked.

"One thing I can tell you is who's behind all this. Someone who's totally weird and messed up. Why else would we be trapped in here in the first place?" Aoi explained.

"Well, sure, it could be something like that. But for right now, actual clues are..." Leon said.

"U-Uhm.." Chihiro mumbled.

"Huh? What's up?" Leon asked Chihiro.

"If you think in terms of people who are really abnormal or bizarre...do you think maybe the person responsible for all this could be a certain murderous fiend...?" Chihiro asked.

"A murderous fiend...Chihiro do you have some idea who might be behind all of this?" I asked.

"Well, maybe. I mean, I can't really be certain, but..." Chihiro said.

"Certainty is not a concern right now! I'll allow whatever remarks you may have!" Taka yelled.

"O-Okay, well...Have you guys heard of Genocide Jack?" Chihiro asked.

"You mean that serial killer that's been in the news and all over the internet?" I asked.

"The monstrous villain who murdered scores of victims in brutally bizarre fashion...The word "bloodlust" was left at each murder scene, written in the victims own blood. Whoever it is, he's like a ghost. He strikes without warning, and disappears without a trace. And on the internet, they started calling him...Genocide Jack. That about covers it, I think." Byakuya explained.

"They say he's claimed over a thousand victims..." Hiro said.

"That's just an urban legend though, right? I mean even like, ten people would be totally insane." Junko said. Toko stayed quiet.

"Anyway, whoever Genocide Jack is, he's obviously some kind of super crazy killer." Chihiro said.

"And if he really is this "ultimate" psycho, I wouldn't be surprised if he put together something like this." Mondo said.

"But like I said, I can't be certain. I don't have any evidence or anything. It's just a thought..." Chihiro said.

"But if they're the killer, isn't that like a killer of a problem for us!?" Leon said.

"It's okay! Everything absolutely, positively, one hundred percent without a doubt gonna be okay! Cuz helps gonna be here soon, I'm sure of it!" Aoi said very positively.

"Huh...? H-Help...?" Toko asked.

"We've been stuck in here a few days already right? Nobody's been able to contact us, so I'm sure they're getting worried. I bet they called the police already!" Aoi explained.

"AHHH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Monokuma came out of nowhere. "The police? You're putting you're faith in the police!?" Monokuma said.

"What are you doing here!?" Sakura asked.

"You guys, seriously...do you understand what role the police exist to fill? All they're good for is being a foil, playing against a villain or anti hero or evil organization. The bad guys come along and destroy them, and that shows just how badass they really are. Are you sure you wanna rely on such an unreliable group of losers? I mean come on! If you really, REALLY wanna get out of here, all you gotta do is kill!" Monokuma said.

"Hahahaha!" Hiro laughed.

"Why the hell are you laughing?" Leon asked.

"I'm just impressed at the total commitment to this whole act." Hiro said.

"...You're still going on about that?" Junko asked.

"So, mister serial killer psycho freak bastard...what the hell do you want!?" Mondo asked.

"Mr. Serialkillerpsychofreakbastard, Huh? That's a pretty long name! German, maybe?" Monokuma asked.

"We know who you really are!" Mondo said.

"Maybe if I ignore him, he'll just go away..."Monokuma mumbled.

"Hey! Don't ignore me, asshole!" Mondo yelled at Monokuma.

"Okay, okay, lets get back to business. Your life here has already begun and a couple days have gone by, and nobody's killing anybody! I thought all you kids were lazy and selfish, and here you are working together. But I'm totally bored!" Monokuma said.

"There's nothing you can say that'll make us start killing each other..." I said.

"Wait, I think—yes! Ding ding ding! I figured it out! All the mystery ingredients are here—right people, right place. So why hasn't anyone killed anyone yet? That's what I couldn't understand. But I just realized there was one very important piece missing!" Monokuma said.

"Wh-What are you...?" I asked.

"If you wanna know, I'll tell ya! Its motive! Puhuhu! Its so simple! I just have to give everyone a motive!" Monokuma said.

"Motive? What the fuck are you talking about?" Mondo asked.

"Oh, by the way! Theres something I wanna show you guys!" Monokuma said.

"Stop trying to change the Goddamn subject!" Mondo said.

"I have a little video I'd like you all to see. Oh, but don't worry. Its not some pervy "adult" video or anything. Seriously its nothing like that! Its a special video for each of you showing whats going on outside the school." Monokuma said.

"Outside the school...? What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Heh-heh! Ooh, masters so impatient today! Why don't you just watch it and find out? Here in the school, theres a specific place you can go that has everything you need to watch the video." Monokuma said, with a giggle.
