Alyssa: I guess we can continue skating then.

Chloe: Let's go!

Ashton: Wait I need to-

Hanako: Mm?

Ashton: It's nothing.

Ashton, Sophie, Chloe and Alyssa skated off. 

Ashlyn: Hanako, wanna race?

Hanako: Sure.

Hanako and I spent some time racing each other, it was a close win, but she eventually won.

Ashlyn: You're... Good at this...

Hanako: You almost got me, You're pretty fast too.

Ashlyn: I didn't... think you were... the athletic type though... Since...

My eyes began wandering, but I caught myself.

Ashlyn: Oh I'm so sorry I-

Ashton: Sophie??? SOPHIE WAKE UP!

We turned to see Sophie on the floor, Ashton shaking her to wake her up.

Hanako and I immediately skated over as fast as possible, so did Alyssa and Chloe.

Randi: What the- What happened???

Ashton: I don't know- she just collapsed! 

Alyssa: I knew I was supposed to be here, plot convenience! Just bring her to the locker room and I'll see what's wrong. She's probably still alive I don't know.

We dragged Sophie to the locker room and Alyssa pulled a pink powder out of her pocket.

Alyssa: It's my special powder, it fixes everything. 

Ashton: Shouldn't you find out what's wrong firs-

But Alyssa was already dumping the whole bag into Sophie's mouth.

Ashton: H- hey!

Sophie suddenly sat up, coughing and gagging.

Sophie: What the f- Alyssa did you just dose me with your drug???

Alyssa: See? She's fine.

Ashton: Sophie! 

Chloe: How did you-

Sophie: What happened? I just remember feeling dizzy and...

Ashton: It's all my f-

Sophie: Alyssa poisoned me.

Alyssa: What? And I thought I was crazy.

Sophie: You fed me arsenic to make me pass out. Since you're a pharmacist you were able to give me an amount that wouldn't kill me. Then you used that... Antidote to reverse everything.

Yu Xuan: Yea... Why do you even have the antidote?

Alyssa: I'm a??? Pharmacist???

Hanako: And I'm a baker but do you see me carrying bread in my pockets?

Alyssa: Hey look, I didn't poison her okay? I have no reasons to.

Chloe: You were just telling me how you thought Sophie was the Mastermind.

Ashlyn: And Monokuma did just give out the motive.

Alyssa: Ugh whatever you guys are impossible-

Tan Liang: Hey we're back. What happened?

Sophie: Alyssa tried to kill me.

Alyssa: If I was trying to kill you, why would I give yo the correct antidote you dumbass???

Miyoshi: Uhh what? 

Alyssa: Whatever! I'm going! 

Ashton: Sophie wh-

Sophie: Shut up.

Alyssa left.

Hanako: Well that was a disaster... Sophie, did she really poison you?

Sophie: Maybe.

Ashlyn: I thought you didn't lie!

Sophie: I don't.

Ashlyn: So why did you lie???

Sophie: I mean she did try to kill me, just not now.

Ashlyn: You know what, I'm done. It's getting late and I'm getting hungry after all that skating. I'm going to go get something to eat.

Hanako: I'll go back to my room.

Ashton: Okay, good night guys.

We split ways, and I headed to the food court. I decided to get a bag of chips and sit down to eat.

Ashton: Hey.

Ashlyn: Oh, it's just you. You're hungry too?

Ashton: No I just, needed to get something off my chest.

Ashlyn: Uhhh... Is this-

Ashton: Oh no no I'm sorry- it's just, I was the one who almost killed Sophie.

Ashlyn: Figures.

Ashton: What?

Ashlyn: You were acting so guilty like you just witnessed someone get framed for your crime, honestly I'd be surprised if it wasn't you.

Ashton: Am I really such an open book?

Ashlyn: Kind of. But I'm thinking, why would you want to kill Sophie? I mean I can understand why you'd want to kill Sophie but I thought you guys were cool.

Ashton: Oh no we're friends but... Oh I don't know how to put this... I'm not the one trying to kill her, she is.

Ashlyn: What?

Ashton: Well... Ugh I don't know... Remember when I said Alyssa told me I was dehydrated?

Ashlyn: Mhm... 

Ashton: Well the water wasn't for me it was for her. She isn't even just dehydrated, she's... A mess. She's torturing herself for the sake of... Despair, y'know?

Ashlyn: No, surprisingly, I don't.

Ashton: Anyway she didn't want anyone to know she was fuckin crazy so she told me to keep shit a secret. And earlier I was going to give her the water but then you guys came in and then I was scared to give it to her because what if you questioned it and-

Ashlyn: Why would we question Sophie drinking water??? She needs to drink at some point???

Ashton: I'm sorry okay! I can't think!

Ashlyn: So you were going to save Sophie's dehydrated ass and save her from dying, but you couldn't give her water??? 

Ashton: Well yea.

Ashlyn: Well, that was dumb. You could've said something like hey Sophie I got an extra bottle of water for you or something and no one would say anything are you have stupid???

Ashton: You don't have to rub it in.

Ashlyn: Have you actually given her the water before you came to me to admit your mistakes?

Ashton: OH! I gotta go! You can't tell anyone about this!

Ashton ran off just as I finished up my chips.

Speakers: Attention students, it is now 10pm. Therefore, it is now night time. Please note that the auditorium is off-limits during night time, so please exercise caution. Also note that sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly. Sweet dreams, puhuhuhuhu!

Well that was dumb, I should go back to my room now.

I headed back to my room and flopped on the bed.

Oh what the fuck is going on.

...

...

...

Speakers: Good morning students! It is now 7am! Get up and have a beeaautiful day!

Time to go to the food court, again...

Chloe: Hey Ash.

Ashlyn: Hey, morning. Alyssa isn't here?

Chloe: Nope, I don't know where she is.

Miyoshi: So, today before we split up, we have to share what we found yesterday.

Chloe: Oh yea, here's the information light or something.

Miyoshi: Should we use it again?

Yu Xuan: Duh.

Tan Liang: I wonder what we'll see this time...

Sophie: Alright, let's go.

Sophie held up the light, pointed it at us and flipped the switch.

I felt like a television had been placed in my mind, and videos I had never seen before invaded my thoughts.

An unknown boy with his two friends, running away from something. Stopping a few times so they could catch up with one another. They were under a bridge and next to a river when the boy stopped.

???: We can't run forever, we need to do something...

???: What do we do??? There's no one to help us do anything! We don't have anything!

???: I don't want to run anymore...

???: I thought it would be better... But now we're out here... I feel worse than before...

???: Hey don't say that, we're finally free. We need to keep running...

???: Nyeh... I don't wanna...

From about 500 meters away, someone called out, the ones chasing them.

Chaser: HEY! STOP RIGHT THERE!

???: They're coming, we have no time.

Suddenly, the taller girl picked up the smaller one and began running.

???: Wait for me!

The three friends ran and ran, but they were stopped when the river led to a waterfall and the path next to it cut off. 

???: We're cornered, we need to go up the slope!

They began crawling up the steep and grassy slope, the chasers just meters away. At the top was a large road, leading no where, as they were in the middle of, indeed, no where. The tall girl put the short one down.

???: We run this way, we'll see where the road takes us. 

They ran down the road, looking back at intervals to track their chasers.

???: There's something at the end there, I think it's... A house?

It wasn't. It was a car. With their chasers inside.

???: No, no no no no no...

???: The other way!

They began to run the other direction, but then realised there were chasers coming from there too, it was no good, they were actually cornered.

???: No! Stay away from my friends! Do you want to die?

Chaser: Step aside.

The chaser held up a gun, aiming at the girl. With no weapon, she stepped aside. 

???: You better not may a finger on any of them, or I'll break your neck! 

???: No it's okay... Don't risk your life... I surrender.

???: NO! We didn't do all this just to get taken in again! 

The boy put his hands up in surrender.

???: Just take me, please don't hurt us.

???: You can take me too, I- I don't want to continue running...

The chasers stepped towards the friends.

???: Guys... No, don't come any closer! I'll- I'll-

Chaser: What a joke... Get them.
