⚠️[TRIGGER WARNING: BREAKDOWNS, PANIC ATTACKS, MENTION OF KILLING]⚠️

[3rd person-Mina]

Mina woke up in a dimly lighted classroom. She was sitting on a desk and it seemed like she was in a classroom, but nobody else was there and the windows were covered by steel plates and screwed on by golden screws. She brushed her black bangs out of her eyes and looked around before finally having a proper reaction.

A scream erupted from Mina's mouth and she fell out of her chair. She frantically ran to the door and checked the knob to see if it was locked. The door wouldn't budge and she started bashing her body against the door.

She felt herself starting to shake and her breathing became heavy. She tried banging on the door in hopes somebody else would hear her. After a while she finally gave up and slumped to the ground.

A few seconds pass and she decided to look around. She looked in the desks empty spaces and finally went up to what she assumed was the teacher's desk.  She pulls hard on the drawer connected to the desk and finds a rusty key laying inside.

Swiftly, she picks up the key and dashes towards the door. The door unlocks with a click and she roughly pushes the door open.

Outside, Mina finds herself in a hallway. It seemed to be a normal school to her but the windows were boarded up like the ones in the classroom she woke up in.

Distant voices catch her attention and she walks around the halls to find the source of the sound. She walks around the halls and finds stairs. The only problem is that it's fenced up restricting her from entering.

Mina continues walking until she finds herself walking towards two doors where she assumes the voices are. The chatter gets louder as she approaches the door and finally, opens it.

[Ayane]

Ayane opens her eyes and finds herself in a room. She rubs her eyes and tries squinting to get a better look at the room she's in. At first she assumes she fell asleep during class but then she remembers that she had walked onto the school campus of Hopes Peak and then she blacked out.

Panic finally rushes into her system as tears swell up into her eyes and she starts shaking uncontrollably. Soon, the storm hits and she starts sobbing and screaming for help. Her body is frozen in place besides the fact that she's shaking. After seconds pass she falls onto her knees and grips her body. The sounds of sobs get louder each minute and her breakdown gets worse.

Finally, she stops crying and she falls into a fetal position. All Ayane feels is numbness. She was about to fall asleep until she looked over to the door leading to the outside of the room.

She quickly gets up and runs over to the door. She opens the door and starts walking out. Her surroundings seem to be an ordinary school.

Ayane hears footsteps and out of panic she speeds towards a locker. The lockers had no locks luckily and she fit into the locker with ease.

Her breathing becomes quicker as the footsteps approach. She takes a small peek through the small lines allowing her to see what was outside. She saw a flash of black and blue and quickly ducked back down.

After a few minutes pass she slowly creeps out of the blue locker and scans both sides of the hallway. Nobody seemed to be near her so she got up and ran out, trying to find an exit.

Ayane dashed through the halls for what stemmed like hours. Turns out she was running in circles for 15 minutes. There was no exit in sight and all the windows were boarded shut.

Soon she had heard voices talking not so far away. She didn't know if she should head towards it or not. She decided to walk towards it and if they were in a room she would eavesdrop on their conversation.

A few minutes later and she had found the source of the sound. She gently pressed herself against the door where the voices were heard on the other side. All of the conversations were people introducing eachother and everybody sounding confused.

Ayane assumed they were in the same situation as her but she didn't want to talk to them. That is until she heard a familiar voice.

That voice was her older twin sister, Mina. Once she heard her introducing herself she bathed into the room and looked around trying to find her.

Mina was talking to a short girl with short black hair. The girl was shorter than her which was a surprise to Ayane. She contemplates whether she should walk over to them or not. A few moments later she decides to walk towards Mina and to hide behind her.

[Emma]

Emma wakes up in a dark classroom. She was sitting at a desk and had just woken up from passing out. She had no recollection of falling asleep in a classroom.

Her initial reaction was confusion until she looked around. Her body was filled with panic and she screamed and fainted.

She fell to the ground and laid there. About 20 minutes later she felt herself regain consciousness. Her body was pressed against the navy blue carpeted floor and she was confused on where she was.

She remembers how she fainted and she frantically looked for an exit. Emma moves her pink bangs out of her eyes and starts running to the door in the room. She desperately opened the door and ran outside, not scanning her surroundings.

All that was on her mind was escaping this place. The windows were covered so she couldn't break out of the school.

Then she heard talking. The sounds of people conversing. It wasn't one voice. It wasn't two. It was more than three. At first she thought she was just hearing things until the talking continued.

Her body was filled with the same shock she felt in the classroom and she fell over and screamed. Her voice echoed and bounced off the walls of the school and she ran away from the voices, tripping in the process.

[Lily]

Lily woke up in a classroom. Usually, people would be confused and scared. But not her. She instead calmly got up and went to the door. Most people would try finding an exit, but not Lily. She wanted to know more about where she was. She then remembered she got accepted into hopes peak. It was easy for her and she only accepted their offer because she heard a lot of people were there.

Her eyes scanned closely around the school and she sucked in every piece of information she could get. Her brain was like a sponge and she wanted to know more.

Then, she heard footsteps. The were quick and it seemed she wasn't alone. Of course she went to investigate. She was quicker than the person she was chasing and quickly caught up to them.

She grabbed their arm and made them turn to look at her. They screamed and tried escaping her grip. Lily stood in her spot and asked them "At you okay?"

Soon the person started screaming even louder and asking for help. The stranger started sobbing and Lily assumed they were crying.

Minutes pass until the other person speaks up. "A-are y-you gonna k-kill me?!"

"What no"

"w-what are you gonna do to me?"

"What's your name."

"E... Wait who are you?! Y-you didn't answer my question!"

"I'm not gonna hurt you just tell me your name I wasn't asking a question I was commanding you."

"You c-cant just command somebody to tell you their name!"

"Why not?"

"..."

"Exactly. So what's your name?"

"Em...ma..."

"Okay."

Lily lets go of the other girl and walks off before stopping. "Let's go find other people." She said, staring into Emma's soul. "W-well I heard people talking but I don't want to go talk to them, what if they hurt us?!"

"I can beat them."

"There's more than one person, no you can't!"

"Yes I can, where are they?"

"B-but-"

"Where are they?"

"..."

"Where are they where are they where they?"

"Okay! Okay! F-follow me... I'm not going to talk to them though!"

"Fine. But I don't have any info on you so I'm gonna have to find you again."

Emma stares at the brown haired girl with a scared look until she takes a deep breath and walks towards where she remembers the voices are.

About 10 minutes later the two arrive at two doors. Voices are heard from the other side and Lily opens the door in excitement. That is until everybody looks at her. She looks around and counts 13 other people. 13 people to collect information on. 13 people to meet.
