Natsuki and Anon burst through the front door of the school and bounded down the front steps. Even though it was late on a Friday, they were both surprised to see no one on the school grounds.

Or rather, almost no one. Walking in through the school's front gate was a familiar brown-haired girl wearing her iconic white ribbon.

"Oh, hey Anon!" Monika smiled, "how are you~?" but her eyes quickly scrunched up, "wait, the script shouldn't have you out here right now…"

Natsuki and Anon quickly came to a stop next to their club president, heaving for breath.

"Monika… something's wrong with Yuri!" Anon frantically tried to explain between breaths, "we have to get out of here right now."

"Ahaha~." Monika nervously laughed with her hand behind her head, "So that's what this all is about." She glanced off to the side, "I guess I messed with her character file too much…" she added to herself.

Her eyes rose to lock with Anon's, "don't worry though, I can fix this!" She said with a wink, materializing a black box in front of her.

"What the fuck…" Natsuki and Anon said in unison as Monika's fingers swiftly began typing on the box as if it were a keyboard.

Monika's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Wait, what?" She started typing again.

"But I was able to…" Monika trailed off, giving enough time for Natsuki and Anon to exchange worried glances. "Tell you what…" Monika continued, one of her famous smiles now on her face, "I can just do this the old-fashioned way~"

Suddenly, a pistol materialized in Monika's right hand. In a flash, the club president raised it to Natsuki's head, who's skin turned as pale as snow.

"Don't worry Nats," Monika winked, her voice as cheerful as ever, "this won't hurt a bit~"

Natsuki screamed at the top of her lungs.

Monika's smile quickly faded as Natsuki and Anon both backed away, trembling in fear. Monika looked down at her gun with a frown, "…you're telling me it doesn't come pre-loaded?" she grumbled to herself, "are you kidding me…"

In the distance, the three could see Yuri burst through the front door of the school, giving Anon and Natsuki their cue to continue their sprint through the school gates.

Monika waved at the two as they ran off. She then reopened her console and began typing in some new commands.

"You two have fun!" she chimed as they ran off into the distance, "see you both real soon~"
