"Ah well I see that it's the end for me."
Celestia, or Taeko, said. She had just been found guilty in a class trial. She didn't know what went wrong, even though a small part of her suspected that this would happen. She pulled two objects out of her pocket.

"Here Kyoko. Read it after it happens."
Kyoko nodded slowly and took the key and letter Celeste was handing her. The gambler took a deep breath.
"Farewell everyone. Perhaps we'll meet again, in another life."

The remaining students were forced to watch yet another one of their friends get brutally executed.

Kyoko paced around her room. None of the executions before had bothered her so why did this one flash before her eyes every time she tried to sleep? It hadn't been particularly gruesome, nor was it horribly cruel but it bothered her so much. She figured it was because of the person who had received it.

The detective had rather enjoyed Celestia's company. She liked her personality, even though she fully understood that she lied a lot. Kyoko wasn't one to show emotion a lot but this...this execution had hurt her more than the others had.

She sighed and sat down on her bed.
What now? I can't possibly go to sleep. Oh wait.
She reached in to her pocket and pulled out the letter Celestia had given her before she...

Kyoko shook her head once and then started reading the letter.

To My Dearest Kyoko,
By the time you are reading this letter, I will be dead. It is quite a shame but at least I got the chance to write you this. A last note. A last goodbye.

Kyoko the first time we met you struck me as rather odd. You didn't talk much, nor did you show much emotion. I didn't even know your Ultimate yet I knew we would be good friends. And I was completely right. Throughout this game, I've enjoyed your company. Not many can match my own sense of friendship but somehow you fit perfectly.

Maybe it was after the second class trial, or maybe it was the morning after, but I realized an odd sensation I felt whenever I was near you. It wasn't something bad, no it was very pleasant actually. I'd yearn for that feeling so I'd try to spend as much time with you as possible.

This, I am now realizing, is the feeling of endearment. Yes, I do believe that is a nice way to put it. I have become rather infatuated with you. The pleasant warmth whenever you are close...That is love am I correct?

I do hope you feel the same way about me. Dare I say that you feel the same things? If so, I'd be rather happy. Well, if I was alive that is.

Now moving on to the more disconsolate part of this letter. As I stated at the beginning, by the time this has reached your hands, I'll be dead. Please do not fret. I'll be with you in spirit.

Do you believe in ghosts? I do rather fancy the idea. I've always been fond of the paranormal such as vampires. Perhaps I could come back to watch over you after my passing, making sure no harm comes to you. I think this would be a nice afterlife goal.

However I have two things to ask of you. The first is to not be too saddened by my death. It simply means that I played the game, and I lost. This is what that wretched bear wanted after all and I suppose I've played in to his hands. Thinking about it now, we're all just playing pieces in his game.

The second thing I must ask of you is to merely win. It is as simple as that. I, from the bottom of my heart, wish for you to make it out alive. I want for you to be able to continue your life the way you deserve it. You must make your moves strategically and ally with others to defeat the puppeteer of this whole amusement.

To help you with this, I have left you the key. Use it and you will find Alter Ego, he should guide you to some extent. I have done everything I can for you in my current state. I do hope you are able to leave.

I love you my darling Kyoko.

Sincerely, Celestia Ludenberg, or Taeko Yasuhiro

Small drops of water started landing on the paper an s Kyoko realized she was crying. Yes, she would honour Celeste's wishes. How could she not? She loved her after all.
