In the sense that when Tsumugi brings up getting your nails done, you have a choice whether to take her up on the offer which is phrased as "Do you want to leave? Yes/No" So you can easily take the "no" answer as being "no, I don't want to leave, I want this scene to continue" when it actually means "Do you want to leave with Tsumugi to get your nails done?" And thus picking No screws you out of the scene.

Oh! I thought you mean the nail painting scene itself. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

TODAY'S GONNA BE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY!!!






MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!



As you can see, Monokid has had a little too much honey.

He was really, really happy about Daddy's return.

*hic!* Now let's play darts! Monodam can be the dartboard! And let's go bowling...Monodam can be the ball!

...

By the way...which announcement were we making?

...The nighttime announcement.

What, it's already that late? Then we should go to bed soon!

Zzzzzzzzzzz...





NO MUSIC



At this rate, the time limit will expire before we know it...



Because I want to see everyone's smiles just a little longer... I want to spend time with them, laughing and talking like normal teenagers. So...I won't give up.



MUSIC: Mr. Monokuma's Lesson V3



First, you gotta give her a present. Ladies can't resist presents. But you can't give her any present. It's gotta be a present suited to her tastes. And it's gotta be a handmade present, too. So it looks like you put thought into it. For example, the kinda lady who's into strong men would love a handmade...pro wrestling group. She'll love bein' surrounded by macho dudes, and you'll make money off the wrestlers, too! If enough wrestlers get popular, then it might be good to host a big event. And after they're done beating up each other, they can fight other pro wrestling groups! Just give it a shot, and I'm positive you'll win her heart!





Day 4.

MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!



Zzzzzzz...

This is an official announcement from the Ultimate Academy.

It's 8 am! Time to wake up! Let's have a wonderful killing school semester today!

Zzzzzzz...

Geez, Monokid really drank too much honey... How long is he gonna keep sleeping?

...

Oh, by the way...Father's time limit expires at 10 pm. tomorrow night!





NO MUSIC



Shuichi is gambling on that, which means we have to watch the library while time is running out. Shouldn't we start preparing then? I'm getting worried...



Oh, Shuichi? Perfect timing...

MUSIC: Beautiful Lie





But as soon as I answered the door...

MUSIC: Mr. Monokuma's Lesson V3



Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!

Hmph... It hurts my heart to be screamed at by a young girl.

...But it hurts so good all the same.



Ahh, I figured I'd come let you know that some of the research labs are open.

You mean the Ultimate Research Labs? Those classrooms tailored to our 16 talents...?

Uh-huh. Your lab is finally all set up, so you can go in whenever you want.



A murderous melody? What are you even talking about?

So, um...are you gonna invite me inside for tea or what?

No, of course not!

NO MUSIC



Geez...that was super annoying...



God! How annoying!

MUSIC: Rise of the Ultimates





MUSIC: Cool Morning



Oh, Shuichi! Sorry, just ignore what I said!

I wanted to talk to you too, Shuichi... I was wondering if we needed anything for the plan.



Weren't we planning on hiding inside the library and keeping watch from there?

If we did that, we risk the mastermind running into us. It's safer to watch from further away.

We also need hard evidence to convince everyone of the mastermind's identity...



Cameras?

I found some cameras and security sensors in the warehouse. With some modification, we could combine the two...



If we set up a few in the library, we can capture proof of the mastermind. And we don't have to be in the library for this to work, so we are less likely to get caught.



Ah, well...I don't know how...



Oh, yeah. That's true.

But, she's...pretty intimidating, so I'm having trouble talking to her by myself.



I saw Miu heading to the dining hall. I think she'll still be there...

Ah, but, we should be careful about what we tell her... She might be..."it."



As in...Miu might be the mastermind? Hm, I doubt it, but...

Well, if that's what you think...

MUSIC: Beautiful Lie



Kaede... I'm sorry...for asking you to do this.

Don't worry about it. I promised I would help you out. Come on, let's head to the dining hall.







Heya, good morning. Where are you two off to?

Well, ah...



Yeah.

Well, I won't stick my nose in it! I decided to believe in you guys.



After all, you said we were all going to get out of here together.

After I heard you say that, I had no choice but to put all my money on you and Shuichi!

Kaito...



And if I do try to do something crazy, Shuichi will stop me.

Ah, yeah... Of course.

Haha! You guys make a good duo!



I already decided to believe in you guys. I won't butt in, so don't worry.







Ah, good morning. Your timing is impeccable. I have something I wish to ask you both.

Huh? What is it, Keebo?



Um, well...it doesn't seem like an exit...

What do you think is on the other side of this wall?



Whoa—!?

K-Kokichi!?



Robots have jet packs or whatever under their feet, right?

...



...No, I don't.

...Have a dick?

Wh-What are you talking about!?



...then you could've flown over the wall and called for help!

...

Geeeez! You're just a huge disappointment, Keebo!



...

K-Keebo?



I...don't like sci-fi functions like flight.

But aren't you already pretty sci-fi?



...

Um...it might be better to leave them alone...





Oh, it's you...and Shuichi too, huh? You guys are always together.

Whaaat? We're not *always* together...



I-Is that right...?

Well, it's not a bad thing. You can't protect yourself when you're alone.

Huh?



But everyone's safe and nothing all that bad has happened.

Of course! No one would do that!

Hmph...I said it before, but...



What...?

I understand that you want to believe in everyone, but...



What do you mean by that?

Who knows...? I've talked too much.



That's the situation. The best thing to do is live life with confidence.

That's all I can say.



Don't forget it...





Morning, Rantaro.

Good morning, Rantaro... Ah, actually, may I ask you a question?

Hm? What's up?



No, well, it's not... It's nothing bad.

Haha, I know, I'm just teasing. What's up, Shuichi?

...



Oh, yeah! I wanted to know about that too!

...



But...

Look, like I told you before, I was just a little confused. Not being able to remember my own talent is...stressing me out.



...

I understand. Sorry if it seemed like I was interrogating you.

No, no... I'm sorry that I'm not much help. Well then, I'll see you later.



Hey, Shuichi... Do you think Rantaro is really just confused?

I don't know, but...



Yeah... We should be focusing on exposing the mastermind.







Good morning... Kaede, Shuichi...Have you come for breakfast? If so...



Hm? But I'd feel bad if I made her serve me.

I had the same thought, so I declined... But it seemed to only make her more restless.



I see...Kirumi really likes taking care of people.

Kehehe... It's not something you can describe in such simple language. Her devotion to her duties as a maid is extremely impressive.



This, too, is beautiful... Rationality, poise, even in the face of certain, looming death... Kehehe... It is exactly as I surmised. I can bear witness to the beauty of humanity here...



You hear his laugh here, and it sounds like helium being let out of a balloon.

U-Um...



I will watch your beauty until the very end...





...Morning.

Huh...? Is she in a bad mood?

Isn't she always?



Wh-What? Why...?

...Because Miu's there.

Miu?



Since her research lab opened, she's been pretty excited to tinker with her machines...

Hm, I can totally see Miu bragging to Maki about that...



...And what about you?

No, not yet...



...I see.





I think Miu was bragging about her lab being open. But I don't think that would bother Maki since she seems so level-headed.

...I guess she heard something that she really did not want to hear.







Seems like she's alone...





Well, if it isn't flat-chested Kaede. What do you and your pathetic tits want?

...I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.



Y—Yeah. Actually, there's something that we want you to make... We found cameras and security sensors in the warehouse, and, ah...



As in, it would automatically take a picture if the motion sensor detects something?

The hell you gonna use that for?



Y-Yeah, exactly that. Please, Miu... We need your help to get everyone out of here.

Ah, okay. I get it now.



What?

You plebs got a lotta nerve askin' ME for a favor!

Were you grubs in a past life? Is that why you don't understand basic human courtesy?



Hah-hahaha!

...Without thinking, my body moved on its own...

MUSIC: Heartless Journey

AUDIO: Bowing Down



Heeeeeee!

I really want to get out of here with everyone! And to do that, I need your help! So...please! I'm begging you!

SHUICHI: K-Kaede!



I'm begging you, too. We could really use your help, Miu. Please...

Wh-What the hell...? Quit bowing to me...



I'm gonna stay like this until you say you'll do it, Miu! I'll do it for however long it takes!

Wh-Who the hell uses bowing as a threat? ...F-Fine, I'll do it... Okay?

What!? Really!?



Heeee!

Thank you, I owe you! Even after we escape, I'll owe you forever and ever and ever!



My research lab in the garden just opened up, so... I...I was already thinkin' about...checkin' it out...



Oh! Sorry, I was just so happy.

But...are your hands always this clammy?

Heeee!

MUSIC: Beautiful Lie



I'll be waiting in my research lab in the garden!



Thank god... I'm glad we managed to convince her.

Let's go to the warehouse to get the cameras and sensors right away.

We'll be taking care of that next time.

MUSIC: Beautiful Lie





She seems like the kind of girl to change her mind suddenly...







I'll go get them. You can wait here.

Oh, are you sure?







But we won't be attending classes here. We're getting out of this place!





It doesn't matter, though. Because we're getting out of this place.





But we haven't had a single P.E. class yet, so I'm not sure if we'll ever use this.











I picked one up to see if it was as heavy as it looked...and it was. The athletes who have to hurl these things are pretty impressive...



Oh, Shuichi. Done already?

Yeah, I've got the cameras. I think three should be enough.



That's all they had. But they work, it should be fine. There's also photo developing solution here, so we don't have to worry about that.

Well, if you're fine with them...

Yeah... Three cameras should be okay.



When this sensor picks up movement...



We should get three of these as well...

As huge as this warehouse is, I didn't expect it to have security sensors in stock.



I only have my music sheets and a spare vest, so there's still lots of room inside.

Alright... Let's go talk to Miu.

As I took the three disposable cameras from Shuichi—

NO MUSIC



MUSIC: Heaven of Almost Hell

...Will these cameras really work? Even if we take pictures of the mastermind and persuade everyone...



The mastermind could just smirk and order the Exisals to attack everyone.

Can we really protect everyone with this plan? Will we really be able to escape this place?



Shuichi was already at the door of the warehouse, waiting for me.

...Oh, sorry!

I shoved the things I was holding into my backpack, and ran after him.

MUSIC: Beautiful Lie





Oh, you mean the large building in the garden at the bottom of the stairs...

Hm... Up until now, our research labs have just been normal classrooms...

All one of them.

Well...that seems alright, doesn't it?







Huh? Did we promise to meet up?

No, nobody promise... Gonta thought, everyone come here again. Like yesterday morning and morning before that.



Oh I see... So no one met up in here this morning.

Does this mean everyone wants to go their separate ways?



Kirumi make Gonta breakfast... Then she leave to clean dormitory.

She's cleaning our rooms? Has she been doing that since we came to this place?



Sorry, I can't right now...



No, that's not it! I promised to meet up with Miu, that's all!

Oh! Sorry! Gonta act selfish...





Gonta stay here little longer. Maybe someone else come.







Morning. What are you doing?

It's nothing all that important. I'm just checking something.

Checking something?



It just plain stands out. It makes you curious, right?

Actually...I was a little curious about that too.



It bothers me when there's blank squares on the map, so I walk into every trap at least once.

Ah...what are you talking about?

Oh, sorry. I was talking about games.



It's just the nature of mappers. Rather, it's more of a curse.

O-Oh...

That's why I can't leave stuff like this alone. It'd make me feel just plain awful.

I know that feeling well.

Umm, I wonder what this thing's even for...











I couldn't sleep well last night... It took all my courage just to use the bathroom... But I guess people can overcome their fears when they're really forced to...

So she was holding it in...





Huh? What's going on?

Angie is trying to brainwash me and Himiko with her Atua nonsense!



Wha-Wha-Wha!? Are you saying...Himiko...of all people... ...believes in Atua over magic!?

Well...both are hard to believe.



It's just...strange to me that Angie isn't afraid of tomorrow's time limit...

Nyahaha! Because Atua has already welcomed me into His kingdom!



Huh? You don't believe, Tenko?

The only thing I believe in is Aikido!



I'm a mage... I don't need to learn any priest spells.

I see, I see! Well, I suppose that's okay for now.



And the nonbelievers always come around eventually...

Cuz Atua is always with me! Nyahahaha! How divine!





Nor will Himiko, either!



That's your reason?

Himiko! You should believe in Aikido over Atua!

That's a pain too...



By the way, about our talk yesterday... Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!







I saw Miu run over there earlier. She was all sweaty and had a total creeper smile.







Right after I knocked, the door violently swung open.



Oh, looks like she's back to normal.



O-Okay, it's just these, but...

I took out the three cameras from my backpack and handed them to Miu.



Are disposable cameras too difficult to modify for you?

Huh!? Do you ask bird-watchers if they know how to gawk at dumbass birds!?



Ah, here are the security sensors...



I was thinking...the camera could be triggered by the security sensor. As in, if the sensor detects movement, the receiver goes off and the shutter activates. That's how I'd like it to work, if possible.



What are you gonna use that for?

I'm going to set it up on the moving bookcase. That way, we can keep watch from anywhere as long as we have the receiver with us. If someone moves the bookcase, the receiver will let us know, right?



Oh, I see.



Nothing.

I wrote down the details here...



And a third camera that will trigger the sensor receiver as it automatically takes a photo.

...How soon do you need these?







Did she just reveal some of her kinks to us...?



...

...Kaede, what's wrong?



...What?

Honestly...when I first met you, I didn't think you would be that reliable...



Ah...yeah.

NO MUSIC





I need to make sure I don't forget to do anything important.



Next time, we hang out with your other favorite character!

TODAY'S GONNA BE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY!!!


MUSIC: Becoming Friends

Alright, time to have some fun with our boy Kokichi, right after we check in with everyone else.



May I help you...?

The kitchen is stocked with ingredients, so I can prepare satisfying meals for everyone.



Oh yeah, your lab opened up, right?

I wonder if I'll ever find my lab... If that happens, I'll know my talent...

...Tsumugi just asked me if I can perform a "rocket punch." Why does everyone automatically assume that robots have a rocket punch function!? I don't have a violent function like that!

I heard that yours and Miu's labs were unlocked? I'm sure mine's next! I'm looking forward to seeing it!

What's up, Kaede? Did you wanna talk to me?



Actually, let's check out that lab.





Alright! Let's go in!





Whoa! A grand piano!

Smiling, I ran toward it and lifted the cover. Beneath it, a clean row of black-and-white keys smiled back at me. I haven't touched a piano in a couple days, but it feels like it's been forever since I played.







The works of minor and major composers from various eras and countries are all here.





Looks like I can use it to play the CDs on the wall.





I was concerned at first...but someone has clearly been taking good care of it.



...Others not gather for morning breakfast. They...really not united?

...Where are we, anyway? You'd think an eyesore like the End Wall would be all over the news or something...

But I had never even heard of it. You hadn't either, right?

Nyeeeh... ... ... I'm tired...from talking to Tenko...

Himiko seems tired...

Kaede, you don't look so good! You're thinking way too much!

This is the perfect time to take a break! Wanna exercise with me?

Monokuma said he wanted us to play his killing game no matter what... But what good does that do him? What's his goal?



So I shouldn't bother her right now.



Miu is...how should I say this...? A complicated person. It really helped that you were with me, Kaede.

That big wall... What if it's keeping us safe from the titans...?





But we can enter the courtyard already... Is the barbed wire just for decoration?



No thanks!

...Just kidding!











But if you think something like this would make me happy, you got another thing coming!

...Just kidding. Thank you.



Whatever, I just felt like it. If you don't want to spend time with me, just say so.

What!? Why would I do thaaaat!?



...Kidding! That was a lie!

His sound bite says "You mad?" :smug:

Geez...



Hey, don't take that tone with me. After all... ...it's your fault I'm mean to you.



Because...you've forgotten about me.

Huh? Forgotten!?



Are you lying again?

... ...No.

Huh...?

I wish I was...but even I'm not that good at lying.

Ah-haha... I may be an evil supreme leader, but even my lies have standards.

Kokichi seems pretty serious about this... H-Have we actually met each other before?

O-Okay, then if you're not lying, can you help me jog my memory so I can remember?

Like, where we met or what was going on when we met... Stuff like that.

W-Wait a minute! I don't remember ever meeting you...

So you did forget! You completely wiped me out of your memories! How could you be so heartless...? I'm so...devastated...

Is Kokichi genuinely sad...? Have I really forgotten about him!?

I-I'm so sorry! Can you help me jog my memory so I can remember you?

Like, where we met or what was going on when we met... Stuff like that.

Are you thinking of someone else?

There's no way I'd mistake the Ultimate Pianist for anyone else. Only Gonta would make such a major mistake... No, not even Gonta's that dense!

I guess that's true... Then, can you help me jog my memory so I can remember? Like, where we met or what was going on when we met... Stuff like that.



...under hostile circumstances similar to this.

Huh?



With your piano skills, you managed to raise enough money to fund my escape...



Th-There is no freaking way any of that is true...



Yup, it sure was! We met each other here!



Geez...

Yeah... This is the sort of prank a kid who wants attention would pull.



Hey, Kokichi... Some things are just best left unsaid. You know what I mean?



...











...At this rate, the time limit will expire before we know it. We must take action somehow...

We're all just doing whatever we want... Is everyone...really okay with getting annihilated like this?

Hmmmm, I feel like cloistering myself away right now. Atua's not feeling lively, either.

It seems as though someone will take action soon. What are you going to do? I cannot imagine that you will stay idle...



The time limit is nighttime tomorrow... I wonder...what we should do...

There's only one day until the time limit...

Don't worry, I'm not panicking. I'm an astronaut, after all!



... There's a whole day left... but I'm starting to get nervous.

What would...true gentleman do in time like this?

The time limit is tomorrow night... Maybe...we should kill the robot?

That's just a joke...right?

The time limit's gonna expire soon... Which means... In their desperation, these degenerate males will snap and go on a rampage! It's my time to shine! I'll keep a close eye on these degenerates!

I feel like Tenko would be the one to go on a rampage...



The time limit will expire soon... Who will make the first move...? Anything can happen now...

...Hey. Your research lab is open, right? Can you...show me?



Ah! Time's going by way too fast! It's just like right before a con!





I wonder what Monokuma is gonna do? Will he end it...or just start a new one...?



Relax! I'm not gonna die anytime soon! Nee-heehee...











Well, not as good as mine. I'll surprise you with a gift one of these days, Kaede!



I already have a bad feeling about whatever this "favor" is...

Don't gimme that face! I wouldn't ask you to do something crazy, like kill someone!



Oh, soooorry! I know I said I wouldn't say anything, but that was a lie, too!

...



My talent?

Yup! Will you, the Ultimate Pianist, work with me after we escape? Oh, but...you'd work with me once you've become the former Ultimate Pianist.



After you graduate high school, you'll probably go on to represent Japan as a pianist, right? If that happens, you'll be flying all over the world for concert tours and stuff, right?



Why? I know you could do it! And you'd be so popular, too!



Wh-What the——?

As a famous pianist, you'd be able to enter any country without arousing suspicion, yeah? You'd probably meet important figures from different countries, too! It'd be amazing!



But I just know that'll happen, okay? So, Kaede...let's make a deal. Join my organization, and together we'll do as we please to all the stupid plebs in this world. Let's sit on top of the world and look down on everyone else...



...

The Ultimate Supreme Leader and the Ultimate Pianist joining forces sounds pretty sweet, huh?



Huh?

You claim to be the supreme leader of some evil organization... But that's just a lie, isn't it? I mean, does this organization of yours even exist?



But you've fallen for my lies plenty of times. Why are you so certain this is another lie?

Why...? Because it's common sense. There's no way your evil organization exists, and it's crazy to think you're some supreme leader.



So many words that mean "common sense”... but who decides which one is right? Why are you so sure that your idea of common sense is the right one?

Huh...?



I'm the real deal, hand—picked by the government. What does your common sense think about that?

That's true, but...



It's funny... Is your common sense really so similar to everyone else's common sense? Is what you believe to be right based on your common sense also right for everyone else?



Uh-ohhh! Kaede yelled at me!

A-Anyway, the Ultimate Initiative should've given you the title of Ultimate Liar!

Nee-heehee... Maybe it should have! I am a liar, after all!

AUDIO: Kokichi Free Time #1



You can keep thinking like that, but don't come crying back to me when things don't go your way.



Maaan, what a shame.

He didn't sound too upset about that... How far is he willing to go just to mess with people?

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.


Kind of metagaming here, but unless that scene auto-updates the dialog to match how many deaths there have been that doesn't bode well for Kokichi's chances in the first trial.

We can only hope

(seriously, this thread is making it very clear that this prick is a much-loved character for some reason, so I presume he gets a Nagito out or dies real early. Either way what a little oval office, it's whether he kills someone or gets offed by someone sick of his poo poo)

Played this one as well, so I'm looking forward to seeing how people react to what's coming up.

Though I wonder, as a question for those reading through this blind, who they think will end up being the first victim? This series does like throwing a few curveballs when it comes to who checks out first, after all.

I'd share who I thought it would be when I played through, but I don't want to risk spoiling anything. So I might wait for the inevitable murder before sharing my thoughts. Then again, it's possible that they'll catch the mastermind in the first act, or the time limit runs out and everyone dies, but I wouldn't put my bets on it.

Yeah, that was my read. Especially when you consider that the chronic liar said he wasn't going to die, and the fact that it's easier to write "you'll be killed" than to have dialogue adjust itself on the fly.

Unless of course the writers knew I'd think that way and did it to gently caress with people like me :tinfoil:

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard for them to replace "first" with "next" in all future instances of that conversation...

Blind reader here, and I have absolutely no idea what's going on or who's going to die. Maybe that island-worshipping girl, since she's apparently not that popular? That would be metagaming though - just from the game I have no clue beyond what Insertnamehere31 said about Kokichi.

TODAY'S GONNA BE A GOOD MOTHERFUCKIN' DAY!!!






MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!



Monokid sways queasily from side to side.

It is now 10 pm. For one 0' you bastards, this might be your last nighttime ever.

Don't do something violent to start the killing game. You can make it one more night.



...Oh! I get it now! I totally get it! It's crystal clear to me now! I understand everything! ...See, look at your face.



That's a crazy face. ...Hehehehehe! Hahahahahaha!



...



NO MUSIC





No, it won't be our last nighttime ever... Just our last night in this horrible place. Tomorrow night...I'm getting out of this place with everyone else.



...

MUSIC: Mr. Monokuma's Lesson V3





I blame the parents! They haven't properly taught them the true meaning of "thank you"! It's very important to express gratitude to someone who has done something for you. It will make that person feel happy, and they might do something special for you later. In other words, "thank you" isn't just about conveying gratitude... ...it also conveys the expectation of a favor in the future. So the more you say "thank you,” the more you can use the people around you. So always say "thank you" to people, and make them do lots of stuff for your benefit!





Day 5.

MUSIC: Rise and Shine, Ursine!



Now Monokid's shaking like a jackhammer and steaming out the ears.

This is an official announcement from the Ultimate Academy. Wake up, bastards. It's 8 am.

Oooh, today's the day the time limit expires. My heart is pounding with excitement.

Don't worry! Even if you end up in hell, at least you can be proud that you didn't do the killing game!

You're just assumin' they're gonna go to hell?



How am I supposed to transcribe this? Jeez.

Hey, Monokid... Why don't we go over there and drink some more honey, okay?

...







Even then...I barely slept the whole night. I slapped my cheeks and leaped out of bed.



MUSIC: Beautiful Lie





......

NO MUSIC



Two more ding dongs pop up onscreen.



...



MUSIC: Beautiful Lie



Geez! Finally, you came out! You had me nervous for a second!

Ah, sorry! I was just...going to the bathroom.



Yeah, right...



Ah, sorry to keep you waiting... Let's go to Miu's lab.







Maybe...you wanna pray to Atua with me?

Wh-What!? You shouldn't be giving up so easily!

Nyahahaha! True, true.



Huh? What are you talking about?

Atua has spoken... In such dire times, why won't they stop fighting?



Ummmm, they're fighting in the dining hall. Atua is really bummed out about it.

Fighting...in the dining hall?



...Okay. I'll go get the cameras.



The classroom by the stairs to the basement... Okay, got it.



Okie-dokie, we'll stop it together.

Who's fighting who though? And why?





Y-Yeah, I am! If you know about the fight, why aren't you stopping—

Why should I? Something's finally happened to break up all the boring tedium.

Boring!?



The time limit ends at 10 pm. tonight! It's just around the corner! If people feel like they need to take action to survive...who are you to stop them, Kaede?

...





So...go stop them! I believe in you!

That's...definitely a lie!



So...put an end to their fighting! I believe in you!





...Yeah, Angie told me. Stay out of it.

I can't just stay out of it!



Huh...?

Because it could start the killing game?



...Right.



Footstep sounds.





MUSIC: Nightmare in the Locker







I...really don't know what to do, Kaede. Ryoma started talking crazy...



So that more people can survive. ...Even if it's just one more.





The last time I saw them, they looked like they were arguing.













Kaede, listen to him...





Don't you get it? If time runs out like this, we'll all get annihilated, y'know?



What!? Now, hold on a minute!

NO MUSIC



MUSIC: Wonderful Story

Ryoma! What are you saying!?

You don't get that either? I'm saying that I'll give you guys my life.

I...don't have a reason to live anymore.



N-No way! We promised we'd all get out of here together!

Hmph, I hoped it'd end that way. That's why I waited so long to bring this up. But we've just been waiting for the deadline without doing anything to change it.



N-No...it's not idealism—



Whoever murders me gets to leave without a trial. Everyone else survives the time limit... After that, the person who gets to escape can go for help and rescue everyone else.



U—Um...well... ...

What should I do? Maybe if I share Shuichi's plan with him, Ryoma will change his mind—



Hm?

There's no need for that, because I'm going to end this game.



You're...going to end this game?

It's not about outfoxing everyone in this killing game, it's about ending the game itself.



Can you...even accomplish such a feat?

I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't think I could.

And how will you end it? You understand that the time limit expires tonight, yes?



What do you mean?

Just what I said. I'm going to end this game...



Unnecessary...?

Hmph, when you put it like that, it seems like I still have a ways to go.



Do what you want. Whether you guys live or die is up to you.





Anyway, Rantaro... Were you serious when you said you knew a way to end this game?

...Not sure.

What?



Okie-dokie... Then Angie will pray for your strategy's success, Rantaro.



Haha, now that's a threat. Well, I'll do my best to live up to your expectations, hm?

I guess...I *have* to do my best.





I suspect he only said that to defuse the situation and stop Ryoma. I mean, ending this game...?

Nyhahahaha, you don't know that!



Rantaro's hidden talent... ...

I want to know what it is, but we don't have much time left. I can't worry about that now.



I don't have time to worry about things I don't understand... I just need to do what I can. Or else...l won't be able to protect everyone.



MUSIC: Beautiful Lie





Nyahahaha! But I'm not scared cuz I've got Atua with me!





Your beauty...as you all accept that the end is upon you.





My desire is to fulfill the desires of others, so I shall comply with everyone's final decision.







Yeah, about that... Ryoma and Rantaro got into a fight...

F-Fight!? Where!? Gonta go stop them!

No, it's fine now, so you don't need to worry about it.



Don't worry about it. If Angie hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it either.

O-Okay...!



How about you eat breakfast with them?

Really? Then Gonta also go to dining hall!





Morning...

Hey, so earlier, I saw Shuichi...

Huh? Wh-What?



O-Oh...you don't say...

I wonder what he was doing in there so early in the morning...

I don't think that anything happened, but in a life-or-death situation like this...



The sound bite is "Do you want to try?"

Um, I don't think so...

Yeah, you're right...now's not the time for that. The time limit's up tonight anyway.



Ah...how should I spend the last day of my life?







Ah, it's alright. I just got here too.

How did it go? Did Miu finish the cameras?

She must have been working all night. She was even too tired to make fun of me...



Two cameras that will take a picture when the sensor detects movement...



Of course, they're turned off right now, so they aren't taking any pictures...

Since they're disposable cameras, we'll have to manually wind the film, right?



So once they're set up, they'll take pictures every time the sensor is triggered?

She also modified them so that they'll be completely silent, to not attract attention.

They're completely silent... This is perfect.



And do these cameras have flashes?

Yeah, they still have flashes on them, but I switched them off. They shouldn't be a problem.



Yeah, I'll be careful.



Alright, I'll tell you a little bit about this classroom before we set up in the library.

Huh? Tell me about this classroom?



That's fine, but why this classroom?

Because we can see anyone who goes down to the basement. With the door open a little...

AUDIO: Invitation to the Underground



Oh yeah, you're right! We can keep a lookout for anyone who goes down to the basement!



One more reason?





It's connected to the library in the basement. You'll recognize the smell immediately.

The smell?

After Shuichi told me that, I leaned in closer to the vent—



It's probably a vent to control the humidity in the library.





Then again, everything about this school is odd...

This vent is the other reason I chose this specific classroom to keep watch.



I don't think I could fit through there... Well, maybe I could but it'd be tough.

Well, I guess this is the perfect spot to keep a lookout.

Anyway, it's time. We should set up the cameras now...



I'm getting nervous... Ngh, my heart is racing.

Next time, the trap springs.

Oh good, camera flashes that we must make sure are turned off!!

Rantaro thinks killing himself will help, Ryoma thinks everyone will live if he gets killed, I guess the rules of the previous games aren't all there so far. If it's never been said that everyone else dies if the killer escapes, it's a fair idea.

I wanna know Rantaro's deal and Ryoma is an interesting character so far so I wonder where this goes. Betting Kokichi offs Gonta before any plan goes down.

Ryoma is making his predecessor gonk characters look like trash.

Or, uh, more like trash, I guess.

I hope he continues to be on the level and doesn't turn into a perverted weirdo down the line or something.
