Suzume took Megami’s hand tightly in her own. She couldn’t
even think of the whole “consent” thing anymore. It had completely
slipped from her mind. Just like it did for her then. Did you ever
think about…
She darted out of the library, running to the play with a sort of
urgency. “We have to get there. RIGHT NOW.” Her voice was loud,
calm, and commanding, with an edge to it, her eyes were wide and
crazed with a sort of mad desperation.
Only one thought pulsed through her mind. I have to get
there.
Femi Davis’s POV
Femi watched Hisoka go, freezing up. It felt like there was
nothing he could do as he walked away…
Then he grimaced, and his eyes widened. His hands flew up to his
face, and he gnawed on his fingernails. Suko. How was Suko doing?!
He hadn’t seen their recently, and, with Hisoka possibly plotting
their death…
He had to warn them. Before… the event. He shuddered. No… he
couldn’t let them hurt his family. Not let them take away the only
thing he had left. But- he had to make sure Suko was okay.
“Suko? Suko!!” he called out, darting out of the cafeteria. It
wasn’t long before he spotted him and screeched to a stop. “Suko…
are- are you okay? I haven’t seen you lately. And- I- heard
something, recently…” He couldn’t bring himself to say what it was.
“Are you okay? You look sick…”
He slowly reached for his “kind-of friend”, like he was trying to
calm down a tense cat that was going to die…
Kowai Kurai’s POV
Kowai walked off with Koda, biting her lips. Koda… she
wasn’t exactly sure how she felt about Koda. She barely knew her,
and yet…
And yet, what was this? Such uncertainty as to how she felt. But
she couldn’t afford to feel anything.
Even if it’s all I’ve ever wanted. There’s something more
important that must be done…

Internally, Suzume Fujimori was going
WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT MEGAMI. JUST PICKED ME UP. IN HER
ARMS. OH MY GOSH. WAIT HOW IS SHE EVEN DOING THIS SHE'S SO MUCH
THINNER THAN ME?! And her face went bright red, and in her
flustered state, she forgot all about the urgent matter at hand,
betraying the logical side of herself.
Kowai Kurai's POV
Kowai glanced over at Koda, blinking rapidly. "Oh... what
expression? Did I look upset?" she asked. "If I did, I wouldn't be
surprised if-- it was about Suko. Are they going to be okay?" She
stared at Koda with wide, pleading eyes.

Koda thought for a moment. "Probably be fine. Don't worry too, I've
had worse falls, some with no outcome, but..." Koda seemed to
glance at her legs and wince, giving a shudder.
Koda looked back at Kowai. Koda butt her head into Kowais shoulder
gently, seemingly a sign of affection similar to that of a cat.

Once we got to the beach, I set Suzume down and plopped next to
her. "In the words of a fictional robot powered by human grief;
'I've been doing sit-ups!'. Actually, that's a lie. I just climb a
lot of trees." Buraddo Jemu
A very flustered Suzume attempted to maintain her
composure. She decided to distract herself with what Megami was
saying, frowning. "For some reason I'm thinking of One-Punch Man
and a reference I can't quite remember..." Probably just the
mention of sit-ups. But she swore she did remember something about
some kind of robot Megami had just mentioned, Suzume would've
gotten the reference but the person writing this post has forgotten
what it's referencing. Wait what? "But... that's pretty amazing,
Megami." She smiled over at her. Strange.. before Megami came
around, never had she smiled so much... Maybe she never had a
reason to before.
Your Best Fri- STOP I SAID STOP- Kowai Kurai's POV
Kowai chuckled for a second there. "Really? You've had
worse falls? I would've thought someone like you have excellent
balance. I mean-- you do 38seem to have excellent balance," she
said quickly. Was-- she flirting? Just making conversation? But--
having a pretty girl close to her, nuzzling against her- even if
she is an idiot and a neanderthal and a dork and a-- Her thoughts
trailed off. What?! It was true!! They were all true! But... how
could she think negatively about someone like her? Especially
when... she still treated her better than him... "I'm sure they'll
be fine..."

"Now I have good balance.. Well, better. Advice, don't climb trees
with the brown moss if its just been raining. Green moss is fine."
Koda chirped, forgetting the seeming threat at hand, and quickly
she broke away from Kowai, and sprinted at a tree.
She launched herself up and grabbed onto a thin branch, and it
creaked. Koda though hurled herself at a thicker branch, pulling
herself up and sitting there. "Ow!" Koda yelped suddenly, biting a
shard of wood from her palm.
"Weather's nice." Koda smirked, dangling her legs from the branch.
Koda hissed at Megami, climbing higher. She poked out her tongue
cheekily. They're good, but nobody can beat me. I'm the ultimate
athlete, after all. Koda thought. Yow. I shouldn't be
rude. Koda shook her head. But I can still climb.
Awkwardly, Suzume attempted to make conversation with her
girlfriend, who had just scrambled up a tree. "So what do you think
Monokuma is intending with this event?" she asked, taking off her
unbuttoned lab coat because it was getting considerably warmer for
some reason.
Kowai Kurai's POV
"Right. Got it. Moss," Kowai replied, but she barely heard
a word of what Koda was saying. She was busy marvelling at her
tree-climbing skills. She shook her head rapidly to herself. What?
SHE WAS A PRIMITIVE IDIOT WHO WAS BARELY AROUND SOCIETY!! OF COURSE
SHE- climbed trees well. But Kowai remembered something, something
about her own past. And in that moment, she wondered if they
weren't so unalike after all. She climbed up the tree after Koda,
or attempted to. "OW!" She got stabbed by a branch. "HOW DO YOU
CLIMB THIS SO EASILY?!"

SCIENCER
Suzume nodded. "Makes sense. Do... you wonder, Megami..." She bit
her lips. "What if our families are dead already and the bear is
pretending?"

"Honestly, I doubt it. If the bear was gonna kill our families
anyway, he could've kidnapped us from home and killed them at the
same time and saved himself the trouble." Buraddo Jemu
Koda flexed her hands. The skin seemed very thick and rough... a
type of a grippy texture there, like a sort of natural padding. "My
hands adapted to cuts and calluses and splinters from stone and
wood."
Koda lowered herself close to Kowai. "If you wanna come up, I can
help you." Koda held her hand out.
"Yeah, good point there." Suzume found herself taking her
lab coat and bringing it over to Megami, draping it around her
shoulders. "Would you like to borrow this?" she asked. She didn't
know why she got the urge to do this, but the next question came
out completely compulsively. "What's your family like, Megami? I
never heard about them before."
Kowai Kurai's POV
Kowai considered for a moment, looking at Koda's
outstretched hand... did she want to say yes? Would the results of
saying yes be positive? She did not know, but it came out anyway.
"Sure! I guess I'd like that." Even Kowai herself did not know if
she'd meant it or not... and that was the strangest thing to
her.

"Heh, that's a story alright. Well, I'll start with my parents. My
dad was a businessman and only a businessman, he spoke
straightforward and treated everyone, even his family, as a
business partner or potential business partner." Buraddo Jemu
"Doesn't sound like the worst dad to have. Career pursuits
are very important," she murmured, and then she jolted upward upon
saying it, like a deer, clapping her hand to her mouth. "I mean!
Well... did- he love you?" she asked.
