(Makoto's POV)

When I arrived at the swimming pool, I noticed that most of the students had arrived there before me.

Then, my eyes dragged over to the towering figure of the robo costume right beside them.

Sayaka: Ah, Makoto! There you are!

She then points at the robo costumed figure.

Kyoko: We found Apollo.

Makoto: Kyoko! Sayaka! And...

Apollo (Robo Costumed): ...

Makoto: A-Apollo...?

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Don't you get me started again. I swear on my life, I don't know how the fuck I got into this situation.

Hina: Sure you did, sure...

Kyoko: He was jammed into the pool room locker. It looked like he was fast asleep, so I kicked him and woke him up.

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Yeah, that hurt ya know!? You prolly left a bruise somewhere on my abdomen! At least a bit more gentle than, I dunno, kicking me like I'm a football!

Sayaka: Well... we tried to shake you awake at first, but you were still out...

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Then how about slapping, huh? With this mask on, I won't feel a thing yet I'd still wake up!

Kyoko: ...

Makoto: Anyway... Kyoko? Sayaka? Where have you two been all this time? You just disappeared all of a sudden, without a trace.

Kyoko: There were... a few things I had to check on. I told Sayaka to remain on the floor and search for every little thing.

Sayaka: I searched every classroom, every main room, every corner, and found nothing, unfortunately...

Makoto: What do you mean...?

Kyoko: Never mind.

Makoto: I *can't* never mind! What w-

Kyoko: Never. Mind.

Makoto: Gh-!?

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Heh, you kinda asked for it.

Kyoko: More importantly...

"She says that, but does she have any idea? That... there might be another person spying for the mastermind?"

Kyoko: First of all... Apollo, you need to explain to us why you're dressed like that.

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Hell if I know. I tell you, when I woke up, I was in this suit and stuck! It was VERY hot inside that locker, by the way!

Kyoko: What did you last remember before waking up?

Apollo (Robo Costumed): Even I don't know what happened. All I remember was being at my own dorm room.

Byakuya: Hey, do something about that costume. It pains me to just look at you.

Apollo (Robo Costumed): God forbid I would've tried to get rid of this stupid costume, but I can't! There's no way out of this thing!

Makoto: No way out...?

Apollo (Robo Costumed): If you are all tired of seeing me like this, then help me get this shit off me!

Celeste: Why would you make something that you can't take off by yourself?

Apollo (Robo Costumed): I didn't make this! What am I, some sort of fucking robo-gineer!?
