(See the end of the chapter for more notes .)

Let's see what happened to the students after the 1st Class Trial?

Chapter Text

Scene: A pod with someone inside

???: What happened? Why am I here?

Mastermind: Will you make sure that our Observer will stay put?

Observer? Are they talking about me?

Accomplice: Don't worry, I have experience in keeping things in line. Just make sure the others will have the hardest Class Trial they will ever face, you don't want them to figure out your identity too quickly.

Mastermind: Of course, I know what they are capable of. Even though they lose some of the most intelligent and clever people in the group, their will and determination may be more than enough to solve the hardest question of them all.

Accomplice Figuring it was you who was responsible for all of this. You should try to make your own spirit stronger than all of them combined so that they won't know it was you.

Mastermind: Then it would go against the very reason this entire game happened. I do want them to win, but not without exerting all the effort they can.

Accomplice: You realize that the Observer will also go against you this time.

Mastermind: I know that, but that was always the plan. I was interested about this person, however, the game would take their life... had I not broke the rules I establish.

Accomplice: Not playing by the rules makes you quite the hypocrite.

Mastermind: Believe me when I say this, I loss the desire to play fair when I was cheated out of everything I owned. The people who did those horrible things to me didn't care about the immorality of their action, so I loss my ideal to be moral as a result.

Accomplice: I understand, but if you lose then be ready to admit it.

Mastermind: I do hope I lose because if I didn't nothing good came out of my entire scheme.

What are they talking about? Don't tell me they were talking about the Killing Game! If they are, why am I here? Why am I not in the elevator going to the final Class Trial!? I gathered all those clues and I don't even have the chance to make sense of them! Why is this happening to me!?

Accomplice: The Observer is becoming rattled, I think it's best we put him back to sleep. You should head to the elevator and join the rest. Going here is only going to stress the Observer even further.

Mastermind: I had fun, so this wasn't completely worthless. I just hope the others can answer the questions I laid down on them, and see if they can grasp the reality of my world. You won't give me a kiss for good luck.

Accomplice: I don't swing that way.

Mastermind: You may never know. Things can change quickly in the future.

Those two must be the masterminds behind this case! If I take a closer look behind this glass I'll know who was responsible for all of this!

*sip*

Hold on! Why am I losing unconscious!? Oh no! It's sleeping gas! No! Not now! I was so close to figuring....o....out th...the mas...mastermind...

Observer: Please guys... win the Final Class Trial for me...

Scene: Monokuna in TV

Monokuma: My lovely guest, today is another great day. I hope you can continue to enjoy your stay at my humble abode.

Another day, after yesterday's incident things are probably really tense.

Kogami: Two deaths at the day where this place actually felt like a mansion for once. The bad guy isn't doing a bad job.

What am I saying!? I shouldn't be so lenient about that. Clemont, someone we thought was a friend, ended up killing...um...

Kogami: Sousuke Sagara, the Ultimate Solider, or at least titled that by our kidnapper.

Yes Sousuke Sagara, why did I almost forget that name? He was the name of one of the victims here, of course, I should remember him as a way of respect.

Kogami: Though I wonder how the others will show their respect to the dead. Will they even show respect to Clemont, the one who killed and got executed?

Of course, they will! Sure he was a murderer, but he was pushed to a corner with the extreme condition Monokuma place on him. Anyone would have snapped if they were in his position.

Kogami: Then the others should snap any day now if that was the case... but I doubt that. All of them has the strength to resist Monokuma, if Clemont was still alive he would have the same strength too.

Considering that Monokuma is serious about executing a student who fails to kill.

Kogami: Anyway I have to check on the current situation, I'm pretty sure the guest will start thinking up plans that could be insane and dangerous, but considering the situation it's not all that surprising.

[Move to Dorm Hallway]

Makise: Good morning Kogami. Did you have trouble sleeping?

Kogami: Not really, sure we two of our companions are dead, but we can't just start crying and admit defeat. That will slide off the few pieces we have in place.

Makise: You mean the information we know about our current situation. I can see where you're coming from, but wouldn't it be wrong not showing any sort of empathy towards Clemont and Sousuke?

I know, but wouldn't it be better if we get revenge on the mastermind?

Kogami: The best empathy we can show is getting the mastermind. Stopping them will show the deaths weren't in vain.

Makise: I see, I hope that it won't lead us to become as bad as the mastermind.

Kogami: Believe me, bad things can make a good person become a bad person. Or to sound more mature, make heroes into villains.

Makise: Both sounds like something a child would say. Still, it's nice to see your usual self isn't going to change anytime soon.

Kogami: Who said it was a good thing?

I should since I know I'm a good person. I didn't do anything wrong at all.

Nagisa: Hey, can you two come over to the cafeteria for a bit?

Kogami: Yes Nagisa, what's going on?

Nagisa: Some people aren't coming out of their rooms, so the few people who are decided to gather around at the cafeteria. We need to think through all the things going on so that we have a plan once the others calm down.

Makise: I see, who else are available right now?

Nagisa: Light, Death, Yami, Josuke, and Akagi. I don't think we should push the others into attending the meeting, they already had more than enough things to worry about with the execution and the things Monokuma said.

Execution and the things Monokuma said? I don't really remember much about those, in fact I have little memory about them.

Makise: Alright then, we shouldn't waste time. We're against the clock until Monokuma pulls something again, so making a mistake isn't an option. [Leave]

Nagisa: It's not going to be easy, but I know we will overcome this together. [Leave]

Kogami: Are you really?

Of we are, we will never lose against Monokuma and the people behind him.

[Move to Cafeteria]

This is a crowd we wouldn't see together before, but with all the mysteries our friendly kidnapper keeps throwing at us, we need to team-up to fight against his oppression.

Kogami: I wouldn't think something as dramatic like that, I would think something even more overdramatic.

Makise: You know you shouldn't talk to yourself like that, you don't want to be in the same boat as Death.

Death: What's wrong with the way I talk!? I really don't understand how I'm being abnormal.

Josuke: Maybe because you were always trying to make everything the same size, but that's probably a mental disorder so I won't say anything more than that.

Death: Huh? But isn't it normal, that was how I was like since I was born.

Akagi: Must have been difficult for your parents to handle that, I kinda admire them.

Death: I only had a dad, but he was always trying to help me even if he can be shady and act like a bumbling idiot.

Josuke: I don't know if that's a good quality for a parent to have, mine were pretty cool. They weren't the type to be easily intimidated. I was raised to be tough, but they also thought me manners so I wouldn't be a bully.

Nagisa: Your parent's sound so nice, I wish my parents were like that. While they do plenty for me, sometimes I have to put up with my mom pushing her own hopes and dream to me.

Akagi: I don't know my parent's, but I'm thankful they gave birth to me at the very least. Be glad your parents are still around.

Nagisa: My dad isn't since he couldn't deal with mom's attitude and mom is a control freak so I understand why he left. It still leaves me to deal with her alone.

Makise: It's the opposite for me my mom isn't around that much, but my dad is. He was a scientist like me, and I always love seeing him performing experiments and coming up with new theories about scientific studies, mostly time traveling. However, when I grew up I became more recognizable than him and because of that he and I aren't in good terms right now. I just hope things will get better soon.

Kogami: A daughter defeating her father in scientific studies. Sounds like someone worthy to be a student in Hope's Peak.

Makise: I may be seen in higher regard than him, but I wouldn't say I was better than him. He has the drive and creativity to pull of time traveling if he keeps at it.

Drive... I remember I had a lot of drive, but I don't think I have with me anymore for some reason.

Kogami: You do all realize that weren't talking about our situation. We're too busy sharing our family history.

Nagisa: Oh yeah! Sorry about that!

Akagi: I should be the one apologizing, I was the one who started the entire conversation. Alright let's get back to the topic at hand, what are we going to do with our current situation.

Light: We're going to help the others to cope with the Killing Game.

Where did he-

Kogami: Light Yagami, I didn't think you were the type to prioritize the morale of our fellow students. You normally love to build up a powerful weapon made out of blocks of logic. Your sword not big enough to crush Monokuma's mentality?

Light: I might be cold at times, but that's only because I want to access the situation. I do care about everyone if I can't show it that well.

Josuke: You remind me of a few people I knew. Even if they don't say it, they do care a lot about the people around so it's cool just try to be more expressive sometimes.

Light: Thank you. I promise I will keep that in mind.

Glad to see those two are working well. Polar opposites tend to go against each other, but this sense of comradery is a good thing to especially with our dilemma.

Kogami: Considering that Light use Josuke to...

Akagi: To what Kogami?

Kogami: I rather not say.

What did Light have Josuke do? I don't really remember. Maybe I wasn't really involved in that. I should ask Josuke for more details later.

Makise: Still it is strange seeing you do this, you must have an ulterior motive Light.

Light: I wouldn't call it an ulterior motive, but yes there is a reason we need to push this out of everything forward. I had a recent talk with Monokuma on my here and he told me that a new location was supposed to be shown today.

Death: But he hasn't come forward or said anything in the announcement, so something must have come up.

Josuke: Is this how we're getting out this place?

Light: I wouldn't know, but I have my doubts considering that out kidnappers have been very thorough in preventing any escape routes. Still, this new location is worth checking so we need to get it accessible as soon as possible.

Akagi: And how does that involve the others in this? Can't we just go to the new locations and tell the others what we learn afterward?

Light: That is the thing, there is a certain condition Monokuma entailed at us that prevents us from exploring any further.

Death: Something to do with the others I presume.

Light: Yes, Monokuma wouldn't let the new areas until everyone is in normal condition. He said that only having half of us going to those places would be unfair since he made accommodations for the guest.

Josuke: I don't know if Monokuma is being considerate or just ones to see everyone go through shit together.

Makise: Still we should try to help the others out even if Monokuma isn't going to share the new locations. Like Sousuke said before we need to cooperate if we want to survive together.

Kogami: So who's helping who? Were least then half the group since were 7 including Yami.

Josuke: Actually where is Yami?

Is she trying to do a scheme again like before? Doesn't she know those schemes are always risky to pull off?

Light: Yami has already agreed to take care of Yuno so went ahead to her room. It doesn't look like we'll have anything to worry about if Yuno ever snaps.

Nagisa: I know whenever Yuno snaps it's never good. I remember Sousuke had to pull out a model gun to stop her. She might be quite unstable, but as long as we can keep an eye on her she won't be a problem.

Akagi: But then what about the others? Who will be taking care of them?

Josuke: Since one of us is going to be taking care of two since they outnumber us by one, I'll handle Takeo and Shinji?

Kogami: Are you sure about that? Shinji doesn't have a lot of self-esteem so it would be better to send someone who can understand him. Not saying you're a bad person, but the pieces fit better if I'm the one handling him.

Josuke: But I can't take care of anyone else since the rest of them are girls.

Kogami: Then I'll pull double duty. You let me handle Aigis as well and that will our issue.

Akagi: I'm not sure if letting a girl be taken care of by a boy is a good idea? Things might escalate quickly.

Makise: But Aigis isn't completely human so what your thinking isn't really an issue. And even if then we would need a guy to watch over a girl since we don't have enough girls to deal with this.

Akagi: I guess. I'll personally watch over Maki since she probably wouldn't be comfortable if a guy was consoling her.

Makise: And the same goes for Koneko, so I'll deal with her.

Light: Nagisa, I'll let you choose. Would you rather watch over Moka or Death?

Death: Hey! Why am I included in this!?

Because your not in the right condition to care for someone?

Kogami: Because the last thing we need is for you to get in someone's room and then fixing everything up to be perfectly symmetrical. One person has to make sure you won't do anything like that.

Death: And what's wrong with that?

Nagisa: I'll take care of Death, I dealt with people who weren't easy before. Being a teacher has some benefits.

Light: Then I'll handle Moka. Kogami since your caring for two people, send one of them to the room of the other. That way it will be easier for you to maintain the two.

Kogami: I'll just send Aigis to Shinji's room.

She's an android, she isn't going to mind moving a little despite her emotional burden.

Kogami: I don't like leaving things unfinished so I'll be leaving. I'm pretty I'll be the first to solve my client's issues first before any of you.

Akagi: Little competition? Alright, I won't lose so easily.

Josuke: Just try to be careful. Getting carried away might end up hurting them instead of helping them.

Akagi: We wi-... Hey! Where are you going Kogami!? No fair!

Those are good things to remember, you are a wise man Josuke.

[Move to Aigis' Room]

So this is how Aigis's room is like. I expected it to be filled with all types of mechanical parts and advanced technology, but it looks pretty normal.

Aigis: Greetings Kogami, how did you enter my room?

Kogami: Monokuma let me inside, he can open any of these doors anywhere and anytime he wants.

Aigis: Even when you want to commit the violence called peeping, an act where a man tries to stare at an unclothed female. I must remember this fact.

Kogami: Just change the peeping part as male exclusive, I've seen girls commit this irrelegation quiet a few times.

Aigis: But you don't deny you will try to commit the disrespectful act? I must file this info into my emergency protocol.

Kogami: I wouldn't be the only guilty if that were the case. Pretty sure most of the guys here would try it first before I ever do since I'm a man that already belongs to a woman.

Aigis: Your wife I presume. Very well, I will place the information as backup data and add the higher probability that other males will do the peeping first in the emergency protocol.

I'm pretty sure I got most of the guys here in risk of being blacklisted. I should feel guilty, but since nothing yet happen I won't.

Aigis: Kogami you aren't finished with my questions. Why are you inside my room?

Kogami: Because I need you to do something for me.

Aigis: If it's murder then I have to put an end to your life here, for the safety of the other students.

Kogami: It's not murder unless Shinji will get a heart attack seeing a girl, or more specifically mostly girl, enter his man cave. I doubt it considering how he doesn't seem to care between guy and girl with his anxiety issues.

Aigis: Analyzing your sentence, there is a likely chance that you came here to bring me into Shinji's room.

Kogami: No that's why I'm here, I came here to drag the entire room to Shinji's place.

Aigis: I see, very well. But dragging a room is impossible unless you were using a construction vehicle, but that will result into massive des-

I shouldn't have made a joke like that.

Kogami: No you were right the first time. You don't seem to have any issues so please escort me into Shinji's room.

Aigis: Very well. My schedule is free since nothing has been added for the past week.

Maybe I should try to schedule her to do things to test her, no I shouldn't treat that to a girl even if they are a robot.

[Move to Shinji's Room]

Now this room looks ever more empty then Aigis' room. At least with her, her room had some picture frames, a few boxes of mechanical things and even a few fashion magazines. I wonder how come Aigis has th em to begin with. Shinji's room is completely empty except for the furniture Monokuma prepared beforehand.



Kogami: Girls will be girls even if they are part robot.

Aigis: I'm please to see you understand that notion Kogami, your not someone who would make a negative outlook if they knew what I really was.

Kogami: I had bigger priorities than being shock by the existence of female androids. Although I have to admit you do act more human than certain people I know.

Aigis: You don't seem comfortable talking about that. It might be for the best we end this conversation now. Silent mode engage.

Kogami: Are you OK Aigis?

Aigis: ...

Kogami: Yes you are. Now, what are we going to do again? I think it was involving-

Shinji: Aigis! Kogami! What are you doing inside my room?

Kogami: Shinji, I was sent here to watch over you so I'll be watching you. Very closely. Never blinking. Until the end of the day.

Shinji: Why are you saying like that!? You're not going to become a stalker like Yuno. No way you would stalk someone as helpless like me.

That sounds both very misunderstood and pitiable.

Kogami: You're not helpless at Shinji, Aigis can tell you that.

Aigis: ...

Kogami: See! She doesn't disagree with what I said, you can take it as a compliment.

Shinji: You know this isn't helping unless you were trying to make me feel more miserable. I rather be alone if that's all you came here for.

Oh no! If I don't do something soon I won't be able to watch over Shinji and if that happens I can't progress forward.

Kogami: Alright I'll get to the point Shinji. We need to make sure that you're in a decent mood, not moody or full of self-hate.

Aigis: That would be difficult as scans say Shinji has all the symptons of depression. Tired eyes, low tone voice, self-deprecation and heart beat that matches the heart beat of someone suffering anxiety attack.

And the attacker would be us. Maybe Monokuma was right to trap us here considering were making an already sad kid even worse. Then again it's the same person who placed this kid in this game of life and death to begin with.

Kogami: Thank you for warning all of those Nurse Aigis, let Doctor Kogami handle the patient.

Aigis: Alright then I will now call myself Nurse Aigis. Should I wear a nurse outfit then?

Kogami: Maybe if you want to visit me later tonight, but let's finish business before pleasure starts.

Shinji: Kogami the way your acting in front of me makes it clear you don't really care about the situation were in or how I feel. You're just having fun like nothing happened.

Aigis: Symptoms of a sociopath, beginning labeling Kogami.

Kogami: Hey! I may try to cheer myself up, but not to the point I stop thinking this situation is shitty. Shinji do you really think acting all mopey is going to make everything better? That it will bring everyone back or that it will lessen the pain you're going through?

Shinji: No, but I know there's no point trying to feel better. We're going to be trap here for the rest of our life! Face reality there's nothing we can do-

*snap*

Shinji: Kogami...

Aigis: Impressive snapping, is that part of being a puzzle solver.

Kogami: I just tend to snap whenever I get a piece of the puzzle right. Eventually after the thousand snap it became snap that went beyond angels and demon lords! One that can change the uni-

What am I even saying at this point!?

Kogami: Forget about the snap guys! Shinji, listen to yourself! Do you want to make you mental state to be like that on and on for the rest of your life?

Shinji: Even if I don't there is nothing I can do about it! I'm a plague and I don't deserve to be bo-

Kogami: Never say those words Shinji, I won't accept such a piece of shit to be my friend. People always have a reason to live no matter what they lose, you must have one to. I know you do.

Shinji: ...

Aigis: Everyone has a reason to live...

She must have also existencial crisis at times, it would make sense since she is a spirit inside a mechanical body. I don't even want to begin imagining how that would be like.

Shinji: Aigis... Kogami... I just want Dad's approval.

Kogami: Daddy's approval? Why wouldn't he approve you already, he is your father.

Shinji: Why would being his son be enough already?! It's clear I have nothing good about me that Dad could be proud about. He tells me sometimes what to do, but he does it like he doesn't event want to talk to me.

Aigis: So he's abusive? It's unrecommended to try gaining his respect. People like that are enemies that need to be eliminated.

Hopefully, we won't have any abusive fathers here, because we'll be losing Aigis and that is all that matters.

Kogami: Aigis calm down, we need to talk to Shinji like were in the same mindset as him. I'll take over the realm my lovely nurse.

Aigis: Roger! Nurse Aigis will step down on our current situation.

Android Nurse Aigis... sounds like an anime or manga made in the 90s. Maybe I should introduce her to an authro I use to know.

Kogami: Or a publishing company I knew before Monokumas made into their HQ for Despair Magazine Weekly.

Shinji: ...

Kogami: Shinji I got the grasp of the situation your in base on what you said. It seems your father doesn't like you, can give you commands, and see nothing remarkable about you in the slightest. Placing the pieces together, it shows your father is someone that is seen in high regard. A politician or company owner?

Shinji: Military director, but your right about everything else you said. I worked so hard to face my fear in order to control the EVA, but it was never enough for dad!

Kogami: Then you should find another purpose to live for.

Shinji: Huh!? Kogami are you saying I should give up trying to impress my dad.

Kogami: I'm saying you should give up impressing an asshole who just has the same blood as you. He isn't a real father to you, so forget him and move on.

Shinji: B-But I can't... All I can do is cope up since I have nowhere to go.

Kogami: That is your choice, but if nothing is done everything will be stuck in a loop like one of the spinning puzzles I deal with every afternoon. You either have to accept your current situation in face value and make the best out of it, or confront it and make sure you don't let it control you.

Shinji: But it's hard for me... nobody understands how painful it is for me!

Kogami: Now there there Shinji. Look at everyone around you including the puzzle master and android in front you.

Aigis: Shinji the way you confront your personal issues is the same thing you're doing about the Killing Game. Locking yourself up from the problems your facing.

Shinji: I know and that's why I know I'm useless.

He's really losing his confidence, I need to say something to increase it even if it's just a little.

Kogami: Now that you have a grasp in your situation, you know the choice you have. Will you confront these problems like the way you are now, or are you going to fight them and make things better for yourself?

Shinji: I...

Kogami: Maybe you should think about it and give the answer tomorrow. You have a lot in your mind so life can wait. Me and Aigis will fight against life itself for as long as you need.

Aigis: Targeting the enemy name life. Delay it as soon as Shinji is ready to select his choice.

Kogami: You see, were not going to let you fight this alone. Aigis I think it would be best if we head out.

Aigis: Very well. Goodbye Shinji.

Shinji: ...What I want to? ... I don't know what...

[Move to Dorm Hallway]

Light: Finished with handling Shinji? Made sure he's going to be ready?

Kogami: We'll never know until tomorrow so slide the plans of investigating the new areas down to the bottom row. Is that all you want to say then were done with this conversation-

Why am I being so rude to Light? Sure he's callous and cold hearted, but he's still one of my allies against Monokuma.

Light: Seeing how you have a lot of energy, it might be best for you to check on Yuno. Yami is having difficulty dealing with her so I need you to calm her down.

Kogami: If Aigis can come then I'll do just that.

Light: If she's alright with it then be my guest. Just make sure everything is properly done so we can gain more knowledge against Monokuma.

You shouldn't be so pushy. People in this type of situation should be calm and cooperative, but when I talk to Light I have a very bad feeling about him.

Aigis: So are we going to proceed immediately to the next location, Yuno's room?

Kogami: Since I have nothing better to do let's. Of course remember that I'm not doing this for Light.

Aigis: Words recorded in the data bank. Can be replayed if question?

Kogami: Better make sure I find a way to tape it so I can hear my badass line over and over until I throw it away realizing how bad and obnoxious my voice is.

Do I really say things like these outloud? I better be careful about what I say when opening my mouth.

[Move to Yuno's Room]

Now this room looks less crazy than I first imagine. Instead of a room that was change to be a shrine for this Yuki person Yuno keeps talking about, it actually looks normal. It has stuff toys, accessories and even full length mirror that she probably got for herself. Still it wasn't completely sane since we saw Yami talking a very dead looking Yuno.

Yami: Now you understand the situation, were not in a simple kidnapping incident. It's something bigger than we can possibly imagine.

Yuno: ...

Yami: And considering that, it also means the people behind this isn't normal people either. As much as you like don't want to admit it the best chance we have to deal with this is to work together. I wouldn't normally work with people like you, but I have to make an exception for once.

Yuno: ...

Kogami: Is she been like that since the beginning Yami?

Yami: Kogami why are you here? Aren't you suppose to take care of AIgis and Shinji?

Aigis: Please explain what she's saying Kogami? What do you mean take care of me?

Oh yeah I never mentioned that to Aigis, maybe I should clear it up now?

Kogami: I'll explain later Aigis. Right now we need to do our duty as backup sent by Light.

Yami: To help with handling Yuno, I don't know if you can anything she hasn't been cooperative.

Aigis: But she was never cooperative since this entire Killing Game started.

Kogami: That doesn't matter, right now we need to find a way to get Yuno to calmly accept this situation because if we don't we won't get to the new areas.

Yuno: So that's why you came here. In order to push your own plans.

That voice... it's definitely more livelier then her almost dead like tone, but is that a good thing or not? Guess if a knife or an axe doesn't come out I'll call this a victory....

Kogami: Even if it will strike me down in the man's pride.

Crap! Yami is looking at me funny!

Yami: Kogami you should have kept that part a secret. Letting her know that is only going to hu-

Yuno: Tell me will these new locations be any help with escaping here?

Aigis: Her demeanor has changed drastically, proceed confrontation with caution.

I don't really need you telling that, with Yuno you always have to be careful.

Kogami: Yuno if you really want to see Yuki again, you need to cooperate. The new areas Monokuma might open up could contain clues or even an exit, but he won't let us in unless we have everyone in a decent condition.

Yuno: And why would he want that? Doesn't he want all of us to suffer in despair?

Yami: That might be his agenda. To increase our spirits only for it to be broken down by his next move.

Aigis: But wouldn't that mean we shouldn't do what he said? It's only going to lead us to be hurt even more and hurt is something we should lessen at all cost.

Is she saying that base on her analysis or on her feelings?

Kogami: I still think progress is much better then being stagnant and waiting for things to happen so if it is then trap then let it be.

Aigis: I see... very well I will proceed to your course of action.

Kogami: Yuno now that you know the cards dealt with us, are you going to continue staying inside your room while thinking about your precious Yuiki and not doing anything.

Yuno: ...

Yami: It's not like you have a choice in this matter Yuno. Either move forward or give up, what's your decision.

Yuno: If that's really how it is... I will cooperate. Just make sure the rooms are avaliable so I can investigate them myself.

Kogami: They might be ready tomorrow so rest up today and get yourself ready with whatever we might find up there.

Why did I say up there?

Aigis: Kogami you said up there, how do you know the new rooms will be in the upper areas?

Kogami: I have a feeling and it would make sense with the stairs we couldn't access before. Yami we'll let you tell Light what happened here, don't want to deal with him for a single second anymore.

Yami: OK, it's the least I can do for assisting me in this. I should make sure I'll be able to execute my orders properly next time.

Kogami: You can be a bit more lofty around me so don't be so formal. It wouldn't do well when we work together soon.

Yami: And why would I work with you after this?

Kogami: You'll see I have good intuition.

Aigis: Will you explain why you were sent to take care of me Kogami?

Kogami: That is something Light is better at explaining then me so ask me when you have the time. Right now I got another person to see.

Yami: It must be Shinji. Don't keep your duties waiting, just go already.

I think it would be better to let Shinji face his inner demons by himself. Guess I have to find somebody else to talk to.

Kogami: Yuno just don't get carried away with tomorrows events.

[Move to Storage Room]

...

The place where the case of the last Class Trial started. I needed to visit this to understand...

Nagisa: Kogami, what are you doing here? Is your eye OK, I saw you rubbing it.

Shingetsu Nagisa, the person I needed to talk to.

[Talk to Nagisa]

Kogami: Ignore that, the emotional impact I have here is getting to me, but there are more pressing matters to talk about.

Nagisa: About the others who are still in emotional pain. Kogami are you done with handling Shinji and Aigis?

Kogami: I did more than that. I handled Shinji, Aigis, and Yuno, the person who everyone can't handle, with the assistance of two lovely ladies.

Nagisa: I would say I'm jealous if the circumstances aren't as dire. By the way, if your asking where Death is, the guy is busy in his own room. Who would have thought that tipping his desk would keep him in his room all day?

Kogami: Let's just pray he's done by tomorrow otherwise we'll be waiting for him to come out of his room.

If I was going to get Death I would use that information to my advantage, but I'm not going to play Monokuma's game.

Kogami: If you want details with the three here is the evaluation you asked Mr. Nagisa: Aigis is fine since she was ready to cooperate as long as it helps the group out. Shinji is having some confidence issues because of his daddy so let's the kid fight his cognitive dad. Yuno isn't really trying to help us, but convincing her that the new areas might give new information got her moving again.

Nagisa: You told Yuno why we were doing this? It's not going to assure her that we do care about her.

Kogami: But with someone like Yuno... you need to put yourself in their line of thinking. If you just think of yourself you playing a puzzle with the wrong set of rules.

Nagisa: I see you take problems as different puzzles that have different solutions even if they are similar. Maybe you have a better grasp at things than most people, but probably not to the point of Light.

There is that name again, Light really is the most admired person here. I'm jealous yet fearful about what he can with that influence.

Kogami: Everyone is different Nagisa so you don't know how they really are like from the inside. You better teach that to your students in the future.

Nagisa: I'll keep that in mind. I'm surprise that your just the Ultimate Puzzle Master, you should also be called the Ultimate Therapist.

I am that good at reading people, but I shouldn't brag unless it's in my head where nobody can read my mind.

Kogami: ... It comes from experience Nagisa if you live long enough to go through the daily grind and start living in a world full of the unexpected you might end up with the same line of thinking I have.

Nagisa: It sounds like your an old timer, but you can't be that older than us.

Kogami: I've live more in life then most so it's not surprising. Nagisa I hope you can keep this conversation between us only, I don't want this to spread around especially to Yuno.

Nagisa: Yuno? Why Yuno?

Kogami: She scares me. If you seen what stalkers can do at the most desperate times, you would think you're living in Hell.

Nagisa: I... Is she really that scary? Should I do something about it? .... No, I shouldn't think in that line of thinking.

What is Nagisa thinking?

Kogami: I'll leave you to talk to yourself, right now I have to make dinner. With only half of us available, I decided to take the helm all by myself.

Nagisa: Oh...okay.

If Nagisa is planning to do what I think he's doing I rather stay out of it, getting involve in things can hurt you.

[Move to Cafeteria]

What am I going to cook today? Considering the situation something tasty is a higher priority than something healthy.

Kogami: I would prefer using the term delicious, but to each to their type of words like a crossword.

Makise: I see you're talking to yourself again. Guess I have to get used to it even if it annoys me.

Kogami: Thanks! You know there's plenty of things about you that also annoys me!

Makise: ... Remind me not say any more than necessary. Otherwise, I'll have to deal with your silver tongue.

Kogami: I rather call it a golden tongue, but my words aren't pure hearted... silver tongue might actually be a better phrase to describe me.

Makise: For once I was able to one up you in our conversation, how do you like that!?

Don't really mind since it shows Makise is very open about her thoughts and comments. Criticism is a weapon that can be really useful.

[Talk to Makise]

Kogami: So how did things go with Koneko?

Makise: I'm not a psychologist so what I say can be wrong, but base on what I have seen it seems that she's unnerve about the possibility she's not in her world anymore.

Kogami: It's normal considering the existence of other worlds really makes this entire situation more complicated then we first thought.

Makise: But it's clear that it's pushing her to her limit. She tries to hide it, but it's clear she's really disturbed about this. I wonder if this is a symptom of depression?

Kogami: It wouldn't be depression Makise, but despair. Monokuma main goal is spreading despair unto everyone and seeing how Koneko is, it's clear he's succeeding.

Makise: But I don't understand his motive! Why would he want to make everyone suffer!?

Kogami: Because he's a complete monster! He's not like a regular person, he doesn't have soul or even a morale code. If he wants to make the world burn, he will incinerate it.

Makise: Didn't you just say burn? Why did you change it to burn?

Kogami: Because he's the type who'll go further then necessary... torture isn't enough to describe what it does, I would call it pure madness.

Makise: You're not joking about this, that expression of yours is the same one you made when we found Sousuke's body.

Yeah, I know should take this entire thing seriously, but there's few things that can drive to the point I can't find anything humorous to calm myself.

Makise: I'm just hoping that he won't reach Koneko, because if he does I don't know what I can do anymore. I want to help her through this, but if Monokuma is that bad... I don't what I can do.

Kogami: If you're strong enough then you will, but if Monokuma does succeed it doesn't mean you were weak, it means Koneko was beyond saving.

Koneko: What did you just say!?

Huh!? When did Koneko get-

Koneko: Did you say I was beyond saving!? Is that how you really think of me!?

Makise: Koneo just calm down-

Kogami: Koneko... I'm sorry I said this...

Koneko: Y-You... I don't need your pity! I'm not pitiful!!! [Leave]

Makise: Koneko! Kogami just stay away from her for now, I'll try to talk to her. If she can talk you have to apologize immediately for what you said.

Kogami: I didn't mean...

Makise: I know, but... sometimes the smallest comments can really sting. Just finish making dinner and then rest, we don't want to worry the others about this. [Leave]

Am I that terrible of a person!? Did I just help Monokuma drive Koneko down further!? What have I done!?

[Move to Cafeteria]

Nagisa: Kogami, are you alright? Ever since you started eating you had that look in your face.

Akagi: Are you stress from taking care of two people? If you want I'll take ov-

Kogami: You don't need, Aigis is already ready to move forward and Shinji just needs some time to think for himself.

Light: Maybe it's the the extra burden with Yuno, if that's the case we'll have Death help even if he's a bit of a loose canon.

Death: When did I become a loose cannon!?

Kogami: It's alright... I just want to end the day. It wasn't a really good one for me.

Yami: I don't think it was for anyone. Some days are like this Kogami, just don't let it hold you back.

Right... never give up even at the hardest points... even when you feel like a monster for kicking someone further.

Kogami: I'll be taking the night off... you guys collect the plates from the people eating at their room and clean them afterwards.

Death: Don't worry, not a single stain will remain! I will make sure no matter what!

Yeah, do that and make me feel worse.

[Move to Dorm Hallway]

Takeo: Kogami, can we talk tomorow?

Takeo Gouda, what does he want? And when did he get better from his emotional state?

Kogami: Can you tell me what it is that you want to talk about?

Takeo: It's about Koneko, I saw her crying and she said your name. Did you-

Kogami: I'll explain tomorrow, I just need to rest up from my ordeal.

Takeo: I see... alright good night.

[Move to Dorm Room]

What I did was awful, but it's not going to place me into despair. Letting that happen means Monokuma has won and that is the last thing we can let happen. Victory won't be given to that awful bear!

Kogami: But who's to say Monokuma's motive is despair? What if it something more complex then what's shown?

I... I wonder if that is a possibility?

...

It's... time... to sleep...
