The killing game was over. It was finally over.
Out of the sixteen students, only three remained. Maki Harukawa, Himiko Yumeno and Shuichi Saihara.
All Shuichi wants is a second chance to save everyone who died. To do things differently, to do thi...
Maki crossed her arms and stared at Shuichi trying to figure out what she should do. Shuichi was anxiously scratching at his arms.. something he did when he was anxious.
Trust was not a thing she gave to people easily. But.. if his story was true then..
The story had to be true. There was no other way of Shuichi knowing all that information about her.. only she knew that. Although his story was almost unbelievable.. it was still possible.
If the 'other' version of her had trusted Shuichi, he must be trustworthy.
"I guess I have no choice. If the 'other me' told you that information.. you must of proved yourself to 'her'. However, you haven't proved yourself to me." Maki scowled down at Shuichi.
Shuichi tried his best to smile. It hurt him so much that 'this' Maki didn't trust him.. that she was as cold as the last time.
All the effort he had given to being her friend was gone.. he had to re-build it all. Start again from scratch.
"What do you need it for exactly?" Maki's response was.. cold.
"Well, I..uhh.." Shuichi took a deep breath. He needed to get himself together. "I need to get a survaleince camera out of my room. I can't reach it and I can't have Monokuma monitoring seeing what I'm doing."
Maki took a moment to think. "Fine. I'm not giving it to you. I'll shoot it down myself." She walked over and carefully selected a smaller crossbow with a grapple-styled arrow ready to fire. She shot a look up-to Shuichi and strode out of her lab, Shuichi following her out. Maki placed something underneath the door then made her way quickly towards the dorms. Shuichi was trying to keep up with her but she was maintaining an exceptionally fast pace.
They walked.. well ran in Shuichi's case, to the dorms. Maki stopped outside Shuichi's door and started tapping her foot against the floor impatiently, waiting for him to unlock the door.
Shuichi fiddled with the lock but eventually managed to unlock the door which Maki entered without asking. She looked around the room and spied the camera. She took the crossbow down from her side and adjusted a few settings before aiming it at the surveillance camera. In one swift motion, she went down onto one knee and pulled the trigger, the arrow shooting straight through the middle of the camera.. destroying it. Maki then sprung up from the floor and grabbed the arrow along with the leftover camera part. She landed back on the floor swiftly and handed the camera to Shuichi.
She was about to exit the room when Shuichi thanked her. "Thanks Maki.."
She froze. Ever-since Shuichi had told her about his situation.. she had one question which she needed to ask. Maki let her arms fall down to her sides and turned back to face Shuichi. "In the last game.. did the I kill anyone?"
