"WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP IT'S SEVEN IN THE MORNING SO YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!" Ressa yelled over the monitors. And then, it quickly shut off.
I sighed, getting up out of bed. I quickly got myself ready, taking a shower before getting changed into a fresh pair of clothes. And then, I left the room and headed to the kitchen.
-Free Time-
I quickly ate breakfast, before looking for someone to talk with. I noticed someone sitting by themselves. They started to stand up, so I quickly approached them.
"Oh, uh... hey Hirano..." Imamura said, staring at me blankly.
Should I hang out with Imamura Mitsuri? -Yes- -No-
"Oh... I was gonna talk with Taguchi... but I guess I'll hang out with you." She replied.
Imamura and I sat down at the table and had a little chat. It was kind of strange talking with her, since she was the only other girl here now. I shook the thought away.
I think Imamura and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Imamura a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Imamura a Ocean Crystal Ball.
"Um, how thoughtful of you? But I do have a question. Does this have any animal products in it?" She replied. She stared at me for a moment. "Hey, how did you grow up?"
"H- huh? W- what do you mean?" I replied.
"Like, how did you grow up? Where did you live? What kind of place did you live in? How many siblings did you have? How was your childhood? That kind of stuff." She responded.
"Oh, um..." I began. "I- I was more of a middle class citizen. Maybe a bit more on the lower side of it all. We didn't make rent a lot until... uh..." I paused for a moment. "Till my mom died in child birth... a- and we got a lot of life insurance from it..."
"Oh... I'm sorry..." Imamura said.
"O- oh, it's fine. I- I've accepted it. A- and it wasn't the worst thing I went through." I replied. She raised an eyebrow at me. "Um, I was just bullied a lot, that's all. What about you? How was your childhood?" Imamura stared blankly at me for a long moment.
"Well... I was pretty much homeless." She replied. She paused for a moment. "I lived in a concrete building that wasn't finished with a bunch of other homeless people. It was kind of a little community. But we did go hungry a lot..."
"O- oh, I'm so sorry for you." I replied.
"You know... you don't have to be." She responded.
"What do you mean?" I said.
"Well, I believe you can do anything with enough hard work. I worked hard to make sure I got out of that place. And that's why I'm working hard to change a lot of things that are wrong with this world. I wanna make this planet a safe space for every single man, woman, and child. No matter their race, beliefs or background." Imamura said. "There are a lot of people who refuse to see what's wrong. They treat others with disrespect for no good reason and ruin their lives. Those people don't deserve good things. They have to fix themselves before they get ANY good Karma." I stared at her for a moment.
"Is that why you hate Tengan?" I asked. She gave me a blank stare. "Are you... glad she died?" She stared at me for a long moment.
"No one... is perfect..." Imamura said. "I've had to learnt that over the years. And I know I'm not perfect. I'm very very far from being perfect. I'm not a good person. No matter how hard I may try to care about others, and look at people with pure sympathy, but I can't help but be angry with them for their beliefs and morals. I can't help but wish they were dead. I can't help but be glad they're not living anymore..." she paused. "I wish I wasn't glad. But I couldn't help but feel like she deserved it." Imamura paused again. "Fuck, I don't want to think about this, can we talk about something else? I'd rather not have my mind be plagued with that bullshit."
Imamura and I chatted for a little while longer, before I left to talk to someone else.
I wandered around, before finding someone to talk to. I waved to them, and approached.
"Hey Hirano! How's your morning been?" Kawata asked.
Should I hang out with Kawata Satoru? -Yes- -No-
"Oh, okay. Um, I'd love to try and look for a way out of this place." Kawata replied.
Kawata and I went around the wall outside, trying to find a way to get out of there. I ended up getting shocked by the electricity. Kawata was really worried about me for awhile. We gave up a little while later, and went to the grass and sat down.
I think Kawata and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Kawata a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Kawata a giant cat pillow.
"Oh thanks so much Hirano! You're such a great friend." Kawata paused for a moment. "Hey Hirano, do you think I would look good in a hat?"
"Oh, uh, yeah, I think so. Why are you asking?" I asked.
"Well, I was thinking that we haven't really worn anything different this entire time. All our clothes are repeating and all of our hairstyles have stayed the same. I just feel like we should try and branch out a bit. And I thought that maybe a hat would be good to help make things look different." Kawata said. I smiled.
"Well, I think you'd look nice in anything." I replied. Kawata smiled at me.
"Really? You think so?" Kawata replied. I nodded. He laughed a bit.
"So if I showed up in a giant banana costume, I'd still look good?" He responded. I giggled, nodding. "Oh come on! You can't say that it wouldn't be weird!" I chuckled.
"Well, it would be weird, but it wouldn't change whether or not you're attractive." I said. Kawata smiled, happily nodding. "You know, I dressed up as a banana for Halloween when I was younger."
"Wow, really? How old were you!?" Kawata laughed.
"I was really young at the time. Probably four or five." I giggled. I paused, looking at Kawata's face. He was staring at the ground, an upset look in his eyes. "What's wrong Kawata?"
"Oh, it's just..." he paused, an upset smile on his face. "I don't... think I've ever celebrated Halloween before..." I stared at him for a moment.
"W- well, if we get out of here, how about we celebrate Halloween together?" I said. Kawata looked at me, almost surprised, before his eyes softened. Tears began to fall down his face, as he wiped them away.
"Yeah. Yeah, I think I'd like that." He replied.
Kawata and I chatted for a little while longer, before I stood up and waved goodbye to him.
I wandered over to the lobby. I noticed someone behind the fountain in the center. I walked over, and tapped them on the shoulder.
"Ssshhhhhhhhh! I'm hiding from Kajiwara!" Sugai said.
Should I hang out with Sugai Tatsuo? -Yes- -No-
"Hmmm... yeah! That will be a good alibi, heh heh heh... alright! Let's go to the ultimate labs!" Suagi said.
Sugai and I headed to the Ultimate Labs. Sugai went around and looked at every weapon, Suagi commenting on how easily he could use it. He told me that he was the next killer, even though no one had died yet. It was kind of weird talking to Sugai about death, but I chatted with him about it because I didn't want him to think about killing me.
I think Sugai and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Sugai a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Sugai a Rubber Chicken.
"Oooooo yes, this will do nicely for my evil plans..." Suagi laughed. "So Hirano, I'm curious, are you in a relationship?"
"H- huh? What!? Why are you asking that!?" I replied.
"I find it really interesting that people would ever be interested in smooching another person. Especially high schoolers! There's a lot of drama there! And if you can't tell, this is my favorite form of entertainment." Sugai laughed.
"U- um, I uh, don't?" I replied.
"HA HA HA HIRANO ISN'T IN A RELATIONSHIP!!!" Sugai laughed. I stared at him for a moment.
"Are you?" I responded. Sugai immediately lost his smile, and stared at me blankly.
"Man, you cut me deep Hirano. You cut me deep." Sugai said. He paused for a moment. "Well, I will have one. Or, at least that's what my parents said."
"Well, I mean of course you'll find someone who loves you. That's inevitable." I replied, smiling at him. Suddenly, he let out a manic cackle.
"BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! No no no! That's not what I mean!" He laughed. "No, I'm talking about something called an arranged marriage."
"An... arranged marriage?" I responded, staring at him with wide eyes. Sugai chuckled.
"Do you not know what it is? Really? Everyone goes through it!" Sugai said, almost sounding astonished. "Your parents find someone and make them marry you, and then you live the rest of your life with this person and have little children and make lot of money. Otherwise, what's your purpose? 'You're not successful if you don't live in a big mansion with fancy lights and fancy cars and fancy fancy fancy things!' 'Remember son, time is money and money is time!' 'Your net worth must be bigger than your foolishness!'" He said, doing a voice and acting as if he was scolding me. "'Your wife will be beautiful, your wife will be submissive, and your wife will be very very rich! Don't ever think of your life any different! After all, you wouldn't want to disappoint the Tatsuo name!'" He made his voice sounded more mocking, and deeper, almost making it clear who he was trying to pretend to be. I stared at him, with horror in my eyes.
"S- Sugai, no... a- are you-" I began.
"You know Hirano, you're really smart. Probably smarter than anyone else I've ever known." Sugai said, interrupting me before I could finish my question. "I think people take smarts for granted. Because one day, you'll live in a big mansion and be very very rich! Just like me!" Sugai chuckled. "And you'll fulfill your life's purpose. You've already shown you're smart enough to not even think about being in a relationship, because inevitably you'll have them RIPPED AWAY FROM YOU!!! And you'll NEVER see them again! And you'll find someone very rich and marry them instead! And the cycle goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round! And you'll fit in like a perfect little cog even if you try not to be! That's very smart of you Hirano!" Sugai laughed again, the faintest being upset in his voice. "You stop all dreams before they can corrupt your perfect little mind! Like mine! Man, I must be very very very stupid, huh?"
"Sugai, n- no! That's not-" I began.
"No but it is Hirano! I'm very dumb and you're very smart! I should be smart like you! Yeah! I'll get out of this place and I'll finally be able to tell my birth guardians that I understand and fall right into place! Thank you so much for this advice Hirano." Sugai said, a bright smile on his face. I stared at him in horror, as he began to skip off. "Oh! And remember Hirano!" He cleared his throat, turning back to me. "'Dreams are for children!'" He said, wagging his finger back and forth with a deep, mocking voice. He giggled to himself, before skipping off.
I stared as he wandered away. I hadn't expected to be lectured... or learn such sad things. I began to walk away, but quickly bumped into someone.
"Ah! I'm so sorry Hirano! Are you okay!?" Otani called out, as he caught me before I fell.
Should I hang out with Otani Katsu? -Yes- -No-
"Oh, I'd love to do something with you! Well, how about we head to the library for a bit?"
Otani and I went to the library, and picked out some books. We chatted for awhile, as we looked at them.
I think Otani and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Otani a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Otani a china plate set.
"That's so generous of you Hirano! I'll treasure it as long as I live!" Otani said, smiling happily. Otani stared down at the book, happiness radiating from him. I paused for a moment, staring at him.
"Hey... Otani..?" I started. Otani looked to me.c a bright grin on his face.
"What is it Hirano?" He asked. I took a deep breath.
"I've... seen that you're really good at stopping people like Taguchi and Yamazaki from..." I didn't continue with my thought, seeing that Otani had already understood what I was asking, his face turning blank.
"Well..." he began, looking off into the distance. "Do you remember when Taguchi said that his skill was understanding everything about other people?" He asked. I nodded. "Well, my mother, when I was very young, decided that it was a very good skill to be able to discern things about others. For example, after I opened up my bakery, I could tell what a person wanted as soon as they walked into the room. It's very strange though, being able to look at a person and understand things they don't want others to know." Otani paused. "I don't have any malicious intent. If I could unlearn this talent, I would certainly do it. I want to connect with others who can't connect with me. It's almost like a curse."
"D- does... that mean you know everything about me!? A- are you going to tell everyone!?" I said, my eyes going wide as my heart began to beat faster. Otani looked over at me, almost sorrowfully but sympathetically.
"Hirano..." Otani began. "I can't understand everything just by looking at a person. People are more complex than a checklist of characteristics. And I would never want to reveal anything personal about anyone." He stared at me for a moment, before sighing and chuckling to himself. "Believe it or not, lots of people don't understand that others have feelings. They assume they're mindless drones who could never have emotions. A secret is mostly what the core of these emotions is. If you rip away someone's heart, they cannot live. A secret is the heart of a human beings feelings. There are other factors, of course, but these are the basics. I would never want to rip out anyone's heart." Otani explained. He smiled. "And, I don't know everything. I know that someone may have something hidden, but I can't know exactly what. If I could know everything, we'd probably be out of here by now." He laughed. He paused for a moment, before resting a hand on my head. "I want you to know, that whatever your secret is, it is valid and it is important. And if I ever find out what it is, I will never reveal it." He said, a bright smile on his face. "I promise." The warm energy had built up so strongly, I couldn't help but grin in return. And suddenly, I found myself hugging Otani.
"Thank you..." I said. We sat there in a serene quiet scene, letting ourselves reminisce in the peaceful circumstances we found ourselves in. Until, the monitor turned on.
"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Ressa! THAT WAS FRENCH FOR MY NAME IS RESSA, OR I AM CALLED RESSA. I'm just here to officially notify you all that it's now ten pm! Get your big fat cabooses to SLEEP! Au revoir losers!" Ressa announced, before disappearing.
I sighed, getting up from my seat. I waved goodbye to Otani, and left the library. I paused as I passed by the cafeteria. I peaked my head through the little window, noticing Yamazaki and Arima inside. I quickly moved away. I shouldn't be eavesdropping.
I shoved any thoughts of it out of my mind, and headed to my room. I entered, quickly getting changed. I brushed my teeth, and headed to sleep. Hopefully, tomorrow would be a good day.
-
I woke up to the morning announcement once again, and headed to the cafeteria. Otani gave me something to eat, which I quickly scarfed down, before heading to the lobby. There, I noticed someone by themselves.
"Oh! Hello Hirano. Say, have you seen Sugai? I'm afraid he's run off and I can't find him." Kajiwara said.
Should I hang out with Kajiwara Hotaka? -Yes- -No-
"Yes, I think taking a moment to rest myself from the constant chaos of the little gremlin will do me good. Please come with me to the hospital." He said.
Kajiwara and I headed to the hospital, where we sat in the lobby peacefully sitting on the couches in silence.
Despite the silence, I think Kajiwara and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Kajiwara a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Kajiwara a kid leash backpack.
"This will be quite accommodating for me. I'll have to return your gratitude at a later date." Kajiwara said. "Hirano, I need to ask you for your opinion."
"O- oh, what do you need to ask?" I replied.
"Do you think I change how I treat Sugai?" Kajiwara asked.
"H- huh? What do you mean?" I responded.
"Well, you see, I feel that my current style of discipline is not very constructive, and I'm worried that I'm creating a fearful connection between Sugai and I, and I'd rather not cause anyone disdain or discomfort." Kajiwara explained. I smiled at him, sympathetically.
"You... really care about him... don't you?" I asked. He stared at me for a moment.
"It's strange to admit, but I do. If I am to be entirely honest, I didn't think I would ever be able to form a family for myself. My past actions could never let me find myself a way to settle down. I find that Sugai is almost like a son to me. Don't get me wrong, Sugai is merely a friend, but it was a strange thing to admit to myself. I feel as if I lack any kind of personal connection on this level with anyone else." He explained. I smiled, and nodded.
"So you're a family man, I presume?" I replied, giggling to myself. Kajiwara stared blankly at me, before suddenly bursting into a calm laughter.
"Oh my, I wasn't expecting you to say that." He replied, tears of joy falling down his face into his mask. I stared at him for a moment.
"I don't... think I've ever heard you laugh." I said. Kajiwara pulled out a handkerchief, and began to wipe the tears from his eyes.
"Well, I don't think I've ever had the opportunity. Not for a very long time." He replied. "Oh, and to answer your question..." he paused. "I'm not quite sure. I've never had a connection with a family member after the incident, which I already explained to you." I nodded.
"Hey, um, Kajiwara." I said. He looked at me, a sense of patience overcoming me. I smiled. "I- I'm not sure about the whole thing with Sugai. Sugai is really rebellious, and I think he's really hard to deal with. B- but I also don't know if the right approach with him is discipline. I'd try both discipline and reward, and see how he deals with both." Kajiwara nodded.
"Thank you for your wisdom Hirano. It is greatly appreciated." He replied.
We chatted for a little while longer, before I said goodbye and went on my way. I stopped by the fountain.
"Oh, h- hi Hirano..." Arima said.
Should I hang out with Arima Iwoa? -Yes- -No-
"Um..." Arima started, looking at the floor in shame. "Sure... that's... f- fine with me..."
Arima and I headed to the kitchen, where we got ourselves some pastries.
I think Arima and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Arima a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Arima an MP3 Player.
"I- I'm sorry... y- you want me to have this? I- is that even okay? I- it's so nice! I- I wouldn't want to t- take it from you..." Arima said. Arima and I sat in silence for awhile. I began to open my mouth, before suddenly being cut off. "H- hey... Hirano..?"
"What is it?" I replied. Arima stared at the ground for a bit.
"S- sorry, it's a r- really stupid question..." Arima responded.
"You can ask me anyway." I said. Arima paused for a moment.
"D- do..." Arima began. "Do you think I- I'm the reason Miyazaki died?"
"H- huh? Why are you even asking that!?" I replied.
"I mean... i- if I'd never agreed to help T- Tengan... if I- I'd gone to that room first... I- IF I'D BEEN SMARTER, I- IF I'D BEEN THERE, SHE'D STILL BE ALIVE RIGHT!? I- IT'S MY FAULT! GOD WHY AM I SUCH AN IDIOT!?!?" Arima sobbed. I grabbed him by the shoulders.
"Arima! You are not the reason why she's dead!" I replied. "It's all Ressa's fault. If he wasn't here, then we'd all still be alive." Arima shook his head.
"Th- that doesn't excuse what I did! A- and then I tried to kill everyone else!" Arima began to hyperventilate. "O- oh go... I- I'm a murderer! I- I should've died! I- I deserve to die! I- I should finally be useful for something and-"
"Arima." I said. He looked up at me, tears in his eyes. "We really care about you, you know that?" I replied. His eyes went wide.
"W- what... are you talking about?" He replied.
"I don't care about all that stuff. I'm glad that you're still alive. I don't care if you killed Miyazaki, or if you tried to kill everyone here, all I care about is that you're you. I care that you're still around, even if you're not the same person you were at the start of this killing game. I'm just glad you're still alive." I responded. He shook his head back and forth.
"I'm a horrible person! And th- that's not the point Hirano! I- I shouldn't even be alive right now! H- how have I s- survived this long!? I- I should've died a long time ago! I- I should've died, not Furuya! I- I should've died, not Sazama! Not Shishido! Not Morita! Not Naito, or Tengan, or Miyazaki! Me! I- I should be dead! N- not them!" Arima called out. I paused for a moment.
"Hey... Arima..." I started. "You know... I... shouldn't have survived either..." I replied, tears falling down my face. Arima's eyes went wide.
"O- oh no, now I've made things worse! I- I'm so sorry... I- I shouldn't have said a- anything Hirano... I- I'll leave you be-" Arima began. I shook my head back and forth.
"Arima..." I began. "You know... I should've been dead before I even came to Yuutsumi..." I said, groping onto my skirt, with tears falling down my face. "A- and the fact I'm even here... i- is a miracle. I should've been a target from day one. I'm small. And weak. A- and frail." I sniffled. "B- but..." I held one hand to my heart. "The fact... I'm lucky enough to be here... is is a miracle. I- I should've died day one... b- but I'm still here. And you are too! And between you and me, I think you had a lot more potential to survive than me." Arima stared at me for a moment.
"That's not true Hirano." He replied.
"H- huh?" I responded. Arima sighed.
"You're a lot smarter than me Hirano. I know I'm stupid, but I can tell when people are smarter than me. Sure, maybe I take risks a lot easier than you, but you're smart enough not to do that! I know that you're smart enough to survive. I'm not. Don't say you should've died. Maybe you're not the strongest person here, but you've got a lot of strength in different categories. If anyone is going to make it out of here, it's you." Arima explained. I stared at him for a moment. "O- oh, and, here's this to wipe away your tears." He said, pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket and handing it to me. I began to wipe the tears from my eyes.
"Hey, Arima." I began. He stared at me in response. "I don't think you stuttered as much when you spoke." Arima smiled.
"Y- yeah... I guess I didn't." Arima said, a bright grin on his face. Before his expression became a bit upset. He mumbled something I couldn't hear.
"Here, you can have it back." I replied.
"O- oh, no, keep it. I- I won't need it soon..." he responded. I stared at him for a moment. What did he mean?
Arima and I talked for a little while longer, before I got up and waved goodbye. I walked around for a little while, before running into someone. They jumped back, acting defensive.
"..." Taguchi remained silent.
Should I hang out with Taguchi Masahiko? -Yes- -No-
"..." he responded with silence. I guess that's a yes?
Taguchi and I walked around outside for a little while. We didn't say a word, Taguchi's only interaction with me being an intense side eye.
Despite the tension, I think Taguchi and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Taguchi a present? -Yes- -No-
I gave Taguchi a lock puzzle box.
"..." Taguchi didn't react. I could hear Taguchi mumbling something, but I couldn't quite make it out. But he was repeating it over and over again. I listened in, finally being able to tell what he was saying. "They're going to kill me..." he said on repeat.
"Taguchi..?" I said. Taguchi's head flung around, a tense glare meeting my face. I stared, a bit uncomfortably. "Are... you okay?"
"..." his gaze was undeterred, as sweat began to roll down his face. "FUCK!" He blurted, before covering his mouth and shutting himself up, before turning away.
"N- no one's going to hurt you. I promise." I replied. He spun right around, an insanely angry glare on his face.
"YOU'RE LYING!!! EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET ME!!! YOU ALL WANT ME DEAD!!! YOU'RE CONSPIRING TO KILL ME!!!" He yelled. I stared at him for a moment, before nervously laughing.
"I haven't done any of that. A- and I'm pretty sure everyone else wouldn't do that either. We're all your friends." I replied. Taguchi almost laughed, but regained his composure.
"What... in the hell... gave you that impression?" He asked.
"W- well, no one deserves to be singled out. And I think the only reason you're not in the group is because you don't try to join us..." I replied. Sweat was running down his face, as he glared at me.
"Oh god, is that what you think? I've been trying to this whole time! But because my damn talent is apart of that STUPID PROGRAM, that makes ME THE BAD GUY!!! The only person who's tried to understand was Imamura! And I'm not even sure if she even really cares!" Taguchi complained. I stared at him for a moment.
"Well, if you didn't antagonize yourself so much, maybe we wouldn't care." I replied. Taguchi's face went pale, as he began to hyperventilate.
"Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck fuck FUCK!!!" He yelled out, stumbling back.
"A- are you okay!?" I replied.
"Y- YOU'RE HERE TO KILL ME AREN'T YOU!? YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE A KNIFE AND STABE ME AREN'T YOU!?" He declared, grabbing onto his head and pulling his hair in anguish.
"W- what? N- no, Taguchi I'm-" I began. And suddenly, he fell to the floor on his knees, screaming out, before getting up and sprinting away. I stared, completely taken aback, unable to comprehend what just happened.
"What the fuck is his problem?" Yamazaki said, catching me off guard.
Should I hang out with Yamazaki Kazuki? -Yes- -No-
"That wasn't an invitation to hang out with me." He snapped back.
Yamazaki and I sat down on the grass and just listened to the silence. I could notice Yamazaki examining me, but I didn't pay it any mind. I just stared up at the night sky.
I think Yamazaki and I grew closer today.
Would you like to give Yamazaki a present? -Yes- -No-
"..." Yamazaki stared at me, almost offended but didn't say anything. "Hirano... I have a question."
"U- um, what is it?" I replied. Yamazaki rolled his eyes.
"Do you feel guilty about any of the deaths?" He responded, my eyes going wide. I wasn't expecting that kind of question.
"I..." I started, before closing my mouth. I felt guilty about them all. I could've saved Furuya. I could've stopped Sazama. I could've prevented the party in the boys room. I could've comforted Morita. I could've helped Naito. Stopped Tengan. And prevented Miyazaki's situation all together. There's a lot of things I could've done. But... "I do feel guilty... I- I could've helped save them all. If I'd been better... I- I could've stopped their deaths..." I began, tears in my eyes. Yamazaki began to open his mouth to speak. "But... there's no way I could've known. There's no way that anyone could've known. Maybe there's a chance but in a moment we can't make such split decisions if we're busy trying to forget. Trying to cope. I don't blame anyone for not helping, because these situations have effected all of us. And we can't expect ourselves to be able to save everyone. That'll just make us go crazy." I explained, smiling at Yamazaki, who stared at me with shock on his face. "...what about you? Do you feel guilty?" Yamazaki closed his mouth, and turned his head with a scoff.
"I envy you..." he replied.
"H- huh? Why? I- Is it something I said?" I responded. He sighed, shaking his head.
"I envy that you can even think like that." He said. I paused, before smiling.
"Well, you can think like me as well! There's nothing stopping you." I replied. He rolled his eyes.
"The world isn't that simple." He responded.
"Well, I know that." I giggled. "But you can at least give it a try?" Yamazaki glared for a moment, before turning away.
"Whatever..." he replied. Suddenly, the monitor turned on.
"GO TO SLEEP!!!" Ressa shouted, before it shut off. I stared for a moment, almost surprised by the sudden outburst.
"Um, I'll talk to you later Yamazaki." I laughed nervously, standing up. Yamazaki rolled his eyes.
"Whatever you say..." he replied, before I waved goodbye and walked away.
I headed to my room, and opened the door, heading inside. I quickly got changed, and jumped into bed. Two days had already passed. And now there were only five days until we'd have to replay this horrible game. I felt sweat begin to roll down my face, as I pulled the covers over me and place my glasses on the night stand. I closed my eyes, trying to make myself rest. We... we'd escape by then... right?
