We went straight to the morgue, not even trying to hide anything from the cameras. Kawata opened the door, stomping forward. I walked in, starting to close it behind me.
"You lied to us!" Kawata said, looking at Araigu angrily.
"H- huh!? W- what do you mean!?" Araigu asked, looking at Kawata with fear in their eyes.
"Oh my god! Don't even PRETEND!!! There's a PASSCODE to get out of this HELL HOLE!!!" Kawata yelled.
"I- I'm sorry! I- I had no idea!" Araigu responded, trying to get away from Kawata.
"OF COURSE YOU KNEW!!! YOU ALWAYS KNEW!!!" Kawata screamed.
"L- listen! I- I'll look for the p- passcode! I- it has to be i- in the school somewhere!" Araigu replied.
"How would you know that if you didn't know there was a PASSCODE!!!" Kawata yelled.
"I- I don't know! B- but th- the mastermind has had to h- have put it somewhere! O- or maybe even Ressa! I- I promise I had n- no clue! I- I'm just trying to help!" Araigu said, putting their arms in the air, begging for mercy.
"Kawata, s- stop! I- it's not worth getting upset about!" I yelled out, trying to stop Kawata. Kawata took a deep breath.
"It's just..." Kawata paused for a moment. "If I can't get everyone out of here... then I don't know who will..." Kawata said. He took a deep breath, before glaring at Araigu. "Did you know that Ressa's having a birthday?"
"H- huh? W- when's that?" Araigu replied.
"It's today. And if we don't get out of here today, I'm afraid we will never. Ressa's planning on killing all of us if we don't murder soon. And I'm not letting myself be responsible for everyone's deaths." Kawata said. Araigu nodded.
"G- got it! I- I promise I'll do my b- best!" Araigu responded, happily nodding. Kawata sighed.
"W- what's going on?" Someone said. Kawata's head spun around so quickly, I almost forgot to look myself. I turned back around, looking to see Arima standing in the door. Kawata raced over, pulling him into the room and slamming the door shut.
"Hirano! You didn't close the door!?" Kawata yelled.
"I- I didn't mean to! I- I'm sorry, I was distracted!" I replied. Kawata groaned, before looking to Arima's terrified face.
"Arima, what did you hear!?" Kawata asked.
"I- I, um, n- not much..." Arima responded.
"Oh, I get it! You think you can lie to me..." Kawata said.
"H- huh?" Arima replied.
"I'm good at my job, you know!? Are you saying I'm bad at my job!? That I'm not keeping everyone safe!?" Kawata ranted.
"W- what..?" Arima responded.
"I'm good! I'm good! I'm good... good, good, good, good..." Kawata laughed to himself, letting Arima go.
"Kawata, what's happening?" I asked. He took a deep breath, putting a smile on.
"Huh? What is it Hirano?" He replied.
"What do you mean..." I began. Kawata stared, as if he were confused, before turning to Arima.
"Listen up Arima, you can't tell anyone about this. The more people who know about this, the easier it'll be for word to spread to Ressa." Kawata said, ignoring me entirely.
"A- are you guys doing something wrong..?" Arima replied.
"No, of course not." I responded. Arima stared at me for a moment, sweat rolling down his face.
