You anticipate starting your third day. This visual novel brought out a fresh breath of life in the form of a new area and a sweet character. However, thoughts about a replay of this game before you started your first day would form within your mind again. You thought about how this miraculous update won’t make the game popular again; that didn’t matter. Doki Doki Literature Club is best left obscure anyways.You continue to ponder about, your mental focus shifting towards the potential effects this Yuka character could have. It already gave Sayori new lines of dialogue, but that wasn’t enough to satisfy. It’s what would come in the third day that made you think. There definitely must be other changes in this new update. You already thought about what endings it could give you, but how would Yuka affect relations within the literature club? Your second day already revealed tension between Yuri and Natsuki. What would happen if a childhood friend of Yuri was there, standing by her side? You tried to think of all the possibilities, but alas, your head shakes and the thought bubbles in your mind dissipated. It’s probably best to get on with your school day to experience all the changes in this route.As you start the third day, you were placed right outside of your house. It was the morning; it must be the start of a new school day. This was much different from your last playthroughs. Normally, the third day would start you off in the club room, right after school. But since this was a supposed new update, you went with this new approach. Of course, in a scene in which you’re in front of your house, Sayori would come up to you. Who else?“Heeeey Riko!” She greeted. “Ready to start the day?” She asked gleefully.“…Meh, not really. School exhausts me.” You answered. “I can’t wait to come to club this afternoon, though.” You begin your walk to school with Sayori.“I’m glad we’re making the club something you want to go to! Even if yesterday was a bit rocky…” She said. “Oh! Have you remembered what I suggested yesterday?”“Hmm… I can’t recall—Oh! That’s right, Yuka!” You spontaneously reminded yourself. “I need to invite her.”“Yup!” She said, smiling. “So we can have more members!”“A little problem though…” You point out. “…I really don’t know how to approach her.”“Eh? What could be so scary about approaching her? I don’t think she’s someone that would hurt you. I don’t think anyone is! Well—maybe except convicts but Yuri’s friend is anything but that!” She reasoned.“I know! I know! It’s just that Yuka looks so… elegant and well-rounded. I feel like I should be treating her like royalty.” You stated.“Hmmm… maybe…” She thinks of an idea. “…maybe you should adopt her manners!” She suggested.“H-Her manners!? That’s so difficult! How am I supposed to look like I’m from a rich family myself without em—” You noticed that you stepped on something. You turn your head down to see what was below the sole of your shoe. Fortunately, what you stepped on was not soft and squishy. It could’ve been dog remains. It felt solid, however. You bent down and reached your hand to grab the item beneath your shoe.“Huh? Watcha’ find there, Riko?” Sayori curiously looked at you.You grab the item and picked it up. The item was a closed pocket watch all made from gold. The dirt that came from your shoe sole was desecrating the glimmering luster the watch had when the Sun shined upon it.“Hm…” You open the watch. There was a miniature clock that ticked softly every moment a second passed on the bottom component. On the top component, there was a shining mirror. Attached to the watch were small chains made from the same material as the watch itself. On the side was a tiny button, most likely used to turn the watch into a timer. It seems as if all the sophisticated parts of the watch were made from the most expensive materials. Thinking about the cost of this object would’ve mesmerized you.she jumped right behind you, glaring at the watch. “Wuuuuuah! That’s a pretty expensive-looking watch!”You rotate the watch around to catch all the details it had to offer. “It seems so. Do you think someone lost it?” You then hung the watch from the chains, allowing the item to swing like a pendulum.“Mmmmhmmm… maybe…” Sayori is being hypnotized by the swinging pocket watch. Her head was simply following where the watch went, drowsing a little.You quickly take the watch away and placed it into your pocket. You snapped your fingers at her. “Hey! Don’t sensationalize things. We have school.” You scolded.She shook her head. “Huh!? I was not!” She pouted. “I was totally hypnotized by that watch!”“No, you weren’t. Now let’s stop messing around and get to class.” You picked up your pace to school.“Fiiine.” She sighed, following behind.When you and Sayori finally arrived at school, the scene shifted to the schoolyard again. As you tried to get to class in time, you can’t help to realize that Yuka was snooping through the flora by the pavement. Her eyes were gazing at all the possible nooks and crannies in the bushes and trees. It looks like she was trying to find something.“Sayori, mind if you go to class without me?” You asked.She was dismayed by the idea of that. “Wha—why!?”“Yuka’s there!” You replied. “I think she needs help to find something. I feel like this is the perfect time to invite her.”“Oh! You’re right!” Sayori smiled again. “Go ahead then! I’ll see you at class.” She leaves you for class.Now it was only you and the new girl looking around in the distance. You begin to slowly walk towards her. You begin to feel regret about this idea. Your heart rate was steadily increasing by the minute. You feel an itching sensation all around your body. You were nervous. Maybe you should’ve asked Yuka some time later. It’s too late now. You made that promise with Sayori.“E-Excuse me, Yuka?” You said with a tenuous voice. Being alone with her made you feel that she was the daughter of an important historical or political figure.While she was bent down, looking through a bush, Yuka directed her attention towards you. She glared at you for a moment. That glare…that emotionless glare… it froze you in place. It was a cold glare, a glare you would get from someone above you in the social hierarchy if you did something disappointing. It was as if she was glaring at your soul. You begin to panic inside. Why was she giving you this stare? Did you do something wrong?Suddenly, the waters of emotions would fill Yuka again. Her face changed from the unsettling stare to the face of recognizing someone. “Oh, Riko! Greetings, is there something you need?” She asked.You take note of the glare from earlier and decide to disregard it for now. “Oh, n-no ma’am.” Your voice, however, was still shaky. “I was about to ask th-the same myself.” You smiled awkwardly.Yuka replied. “That might be a little unnecessary.” She admitted. “But I guess I need help finding a pocket watch of mine.” She wasn’t speaking in a fancy decorum anymore, strange.Noticing this, you begin to feel comfortable about conversing with Yuka. Maybe it won’t be so bad after all. “Pocket watch? You mean this?” You showed the pocket watch to her. You wondered why she needs a little trinket that tells time when phones exist, but you decide to overlook that.“Oh! Yes, that’s it!” She said, smiling. “Thank you, Riko.” You gave the watch to her. She took out a quilt tissue and rubbed all the dirt off from the watch. Fancy. She opened the watch and looked at herself in the mirror. “Where did you find it?” She asked.“Well, a friend and I found it laying on the sidewalk. It looked so expensive that we couldn’t have just left it there like trash.” You said. “I guess, by coincidence, we found it for you.”Yuka chuckled. “Ah, again, thank you. It must’ve dropped without me noticing.” She sighed. “A friend was rushing me to school today.”“Was Yuri rushing you?” You asked curiously.“Yuri? Oh no! It wasn’t Yuri. She would get herself into a coughing fit, otherwise.” She answered.“Right.” You said. You smiled a little from that reply. This update is the gift that keeps on giving. Yuka was foreshadowing that there might benew character added in. However, you take note of the supposed coughing fit that she mentioned. Yuri has a health condition now? You disregard the thought and the conversation continued.“Is there something I can do to give back?” Yuka asked.This was the perfect time to tell. “Well, I wouldn’t call this a favor but… I was wondering if you are interested in joining the literature club.”“The literature club? Well, I don’t have much to do at home so…” She thinks about this. “Will Yuri be there?” She asked.“Probably. I don’t remember a single day where she isn’t. Then again, I’m only new to the club but seeing how comfortable she is being in, I can safely say that she will be there.”“Ah, perfect. Count me in then.” Yuka said and smiled.“Great!” You said. You wondered if this conversation would give you the option to ask more about her family. That, however, never came up.“Ah, the time!” She looked at the pocket watch.“What about it?” You asked.“It’s five minutes before class!” She stated.You panicked! You were conversing so much with Yuka that you forgot about the fact that you had to go to class!“We can’t be late.” Yuka stood up and placed her watch inside her pocket. “Goodbye, Riko.”“See ya at club, Yuka!” You said. You and Yuka departed and quickly went to class. You couldn’t wait to see Yuka in the literature club, namely, what would her relations be like with the other members. You begin to look back at the mental notes you took before going on.So far, Yuka has been an elegant girl that seems to take a casual manner sometimes. Why she does that is unknown to you. She appears to own a very expensive pocket watch and her father apparently owns an antique knife collection. Yuka seems to have an unsettling glare as well. She also mentioned that she has another friend, that you hoped to meet, and that Yuri can have coughing fits. You realized that Yuka might have an urge to serve others. With that, questions from before arose about her again. They all spun around you as you took your seat in class. Then you snapped yourself back into reality, focusing back onto the game. A lot of those questions will be answered once you gone through more, you hoped. You continued, eager to come to club today.
