I walked out the school's main door hesitant.
It didn't look digital anymore.
The sky looked like.. The actual sky..
Everything beyond the perimeter was normal.
There were people outside walking along the sidewalk as well as cars.
I ran over to the edge of the school's premises then tried walking over onto the road but fell back.
There was an invisible wall again, Monokuma did say there would be glass.
Wouldn't we be able to break it, shatter it?
I then saw Daichi as well as Nishinoya and Asahi run over.
"HEY, YOU THERE, HELP US!"
Nishinoya yelled to an old man walking along the sidewalk.

The man acted as if he couldn't hear us...
Daichi started banging on whatever force kept us back.
"HELLO!?"
He yelled.
"I know why Monokuma did this.."
I mumbled.
"Hm?"
Asahi seemed confused.
"He did it to give us hope, then take it away. He's been talking about despair a lot. As if despair is the reason why we were brought here."
I mumbled still putting things together.

"I don't think they can see or hear us.. The people out there I mean."
I mumbled.
I looked over at the school and sighed.
"I'm gonna walk around and explore, okay?"
They nodded.
After a small while of walking I came across Kenma and Kuroo.
I wanted to talk to them but I didn't want to interfere.
Kenma seemed to be trying his best to comfort Kuroo.

"It wasn't your fault.."
Kenma said blatantly.
"It was Akaashi's doing."
He continued.
"I know.. B-But I can't even comfort or help Bokuto.."
Kuroo mumbled crying.
"That's because you need to focus on yourself right now. If you don't you'll probably be killed."
Kenma said.
He was straight to the point.
Kuroo then nodded.

I sighed and walked away not wanting to intrude anymore than I had on their conversation.
I looked around and saw Bokuto sitting on the stairs to the front door.
I walked over and sat next to him.
"You doing okay?"
I asked looking over to him.
"It's all my fault.."
He mumbled.
"No-"
"Yes! I c-could've told him we could just confront him instead of killing.. He killed Ennoshita for me.. Ennoshita tried to kill me and he wanted him dead... It's my fault.."
He mumbled to himself.
It didn't look as though Bokuto had gotten any sleep either..
"Bokuto-
"He was drowning and I didn't do anything about it.."
He started to cry.
I didn't know how I could comfort him.
I could only tell him it wasn't his fault and it would be his choice to believe me or not.

He then latched onto me crying, we stayed like that until he calmed down.
"It'll be okay, you need to live, for Akaashi!"
I said, he nodded hesitating a bit and then he smiled.
He then let go of me.

I got up leaving him alone.
I walked back inside, then suddenly the announcements turned on again.
"Hello hello my dear students! Report to the cafeteria immediately!"
Then the screen turned off.
I made my way to the cafeteria and sat at one of the tables.
Everyone started coming in as well. Daichi took a seat next to me.

Monokuma then fell from one of the roof tiles onto the ground with a wide evil grin.
"Hello everyone, I came here to inform you of something that will make you even more suspicious of each other!"
He yelled.
Everyone started to squirm in their seats.
Monokuma waited their in silence.
"Well, if you're going to tell us something then tell us!"
Tsukishima yelled.
I watched as Yamaguchi tried to calm him down so he wouldn't get in trouble.

"Someone's a little excited! Puhuhu! Well then, there is a traitor among all of you!"
He announced.

A.. Traitor?

"The hell-?!"
Kageyama stood up from his seat.
He then quickly sat back down wide eyed.
Hinata placed a hand on his shoulder, reassuringly.
"What the hell do you mean!?"
Nishinoya yelled confused.
"A traitor.. You know someone who seems like an ally but is actually working for the other team! Exactly that! I'm working with one of you so I know every little thing that's going on, and it makes the game more interesting too!"
Monokuma seemed to be entertained by this idea.

I looked around thinking about who it might be.
Oikawa seemed weird but that's just Oikawa.
Everyone seemed to be talking and in the midst of us getting distracted Monokuka disappeared.
We spent the rest of the day full of suspense and suspicion.

Most of us went to our dorms early including me.
After that the day was over.
