Your POV:

    My eyes were were widened at the scene before me. Angie was dead before me, a pool of blood where her corpse was. An occult like ambiance filled the room as effigies were hung up to make an eerie scene.
I felt like I was going to throw up there and now. Experiencing this was terrible. Seeing how Ryoma was before getting eaten by piranhas was more gruesome, but this was also very shocking.
I knew she tried to kill me. I know she wanted to use me as a sacrifice. Despite that, why did I want to bring her back.
That was an easy answer. I wanted to escape this wretched place with everyone. That determination would tear through all of the negatives of the situation. Determination that brought me to try my hardest to forgive her. I wanted to believe in her. Hopefully bringing her back would do the same as it did for Kirumi. That's what I was hoping.

*ding dong, dong ding*

Hearing the sound coming from the monitor, I looked up at it upon instinct. Was I really used to this. Was I really used to hearing that wretched announcement every time people discovered someone's death?
A display of three Monokubs popped up. They were all holding drinks that they always have when they appear on screen. Monophanie looked like she was going to be sick.
"...A-BODY-HAS-BEEN-DISCOVERED," Monodam explained, "EVERYONE-PLEASE-ASSEMBLE-AT-THE-ULTIMATE-ART-LAB."
    Monophanie then puked on the spotted couch they always sit on while doing these broadcasts. It was green this time. Monotaro took note of the green pile of puke. It was strange on why this bear was doing so. It always was strange how these small robotic bears acted in times like this. I wondered why I was even still looking at the broadcast. Something bad happened, and those damn Monokubs always broadcasted pointless things, while Monokuma broadcasted the deaths to everyone else.
    Monotaro then explained that Monophanie's green puke was an omen of bad luck and disaster. With that, the monitor turned off leaving the people in the room in shock.
    I was shaking slightly as my attention went back to Angie who was dead on the floor. I didn't want to believe another student murdered. This wasn't my goal at all. My goal was to get everyone out of here, alive and well. I couldn't do that if I decided not to bring Angie back.
    I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Rantaro there. He smiled at me lightly, but then his face went serious. He nodded at me, and I understood what he meant.
    Rantaro was hurt by what Angie did. He showed that emotion when he snapped at Angie back yesterday. He had a reason to be upset. He had a reason for me not to bring her back. He understood this very well, yet he still gave me the sign to do so. To help her.
    Soon enough, everyone piled into the room to take a look at what happened to Angie. The student council members seemed to be shocked that their leader laid dead in front of them. I felt bad, but soon enough she would be back. I just needed an excuse to be alone with the body. I needed to pay my respects to her even though I knew what I was planning.
"So that Atua my guide her soul to the gates of heaven..." Keebo muttered, looking down.
"Atua...please take care of Angie!" Gonta exclaimed as tears fell down his face.
Tenko was silent, tears in her eyes. I knew Tenko didn't mean anything about what she said about Angie the day prior to this one. She may have said that she wished Angie was dead in her way, but she didn't mean it. Someone could say that they want someone dead for some reason, but when it happens, they realize that they didn't mean what they said.
"H-Hey... Why did it end up like this?" Tsumugi asked, fear in her eyes, "didn't Angie...have Atua with her?"
"Clearly she didn't," Maki replied, "she faced karma for what she did to (y/n)," Maki explained.
"Angie did have Atua!" Gonta exclaimed, "Even though she almost kill friend... Atua stick by Angie no matter what!"
Himiko looked down in response to what Gonta said. I knew Himiko was close with Angie. Even with Angie introducing her to Atua, they were still close. They would always hang out with each other. This was probably hitting Himiko hard.
Himiko was probably feeling close to what I did when Rantaro wound up dead. It was shocking and despair inducing. It was like I lost everything at that moment. That's how Himiko was feeling and I knew exactly what it felt like.
"We don't have time to be talking about this!" Kaito exclaimed, "instead of talking about Atua—"
"Yeah! We gotta talk about which one of us is the culprit, and win this killing game!" Kokichi exclaimed, interrupting Kaito.
Kokichi seemed very excited about this. He always acted like this when a body was discovered. I had no idea if he was lying or not. It still concerned me that he was acting like this, all of us shocked and upset. It seemed like he knew something like this was going to happen, yet he acts carefree and happy about it.
"W-Wait, this...is part of the killing game?" Mine asked nervously.
"What else could it be?" Maki asked in response, biting her thumbnail, "the fact that Angie's dead can only mean one thing... One of us killed her."
"B-But...why would someone do such awful thing!?" Gonta asked.
"Is that really what happened...?" Tsumugi asked in response.
I was slightly confused to what she meant. Only one of us could've done it, and I was going to reverse what this person did at all costs. That was what I wanted to do.
    Shuichi seemed confused at what Tsumugi said. None of us knew what she mean by her phrasing. None of us knew what she was hinting at.
    "It's possible the culprit who killed Angie wasn't one of us, but—" Tsumugi said before...
    The cheerful catchphrase of the colorful robotic bears entered the room, making cascades of color around everyone. They were here, and I don't think anyone wanted them to be here.
    The three bears popped up out of nowhere like Monokuma, but we knew they were coming from the loud catchphrase they did. The first thing that happened when the bears showed up was Monophanie puking a large amount onto the floor. Just like in the body discovery announcement, the puke was green. It was gross to me.
    There was also glitter surrounding the vomit as well which concerned me slightly. I couldn't help but groan in annoyance to their arrival.
    Monotaro mentioned that this was a vomit soaked entrance. He basically thought it was creative for some reason. He also mentioned that her puke was green as well. He said that it was an ominous sign. I had no idea why he even thought that though.
Monophanie then asked why a murder would happen. She was sweating profusely as she was saying this. She called out Monodam because he wanted everyone to get along.
She was right about that. I didn't know if it was some sort of lie or not, but it seemed like they were trying to get us to get along. I wanted to get along with everyone, but not with the help of those cursed bears.
Monodam then told his sister and brother that overcoming this would get us closer. I wasn't sure if it would get us closer. What would most likely happen is that it would make us more suspicious of each other. It would make us not want to believe in each other until we break down and turn into emotionless people who have seen friends die.
I wasn't going to let that happen. I wasn't going to let any more people suffer. Monodam was then asking if bonds got closer during the class trial.
That answer was also a no for me because I'm a class trial, we are constantly suspecting someone for committing a crime. How can we get closer with people under those circumstances. It didn't make any sense on why those damn cubs were thinking that this would be the way to get us to bond... it's torture.
"MURDERS-ARE-NECESSARY-TO-BRING-EVERYONE-CLOSER-TOGETHER," Monodam stated.
I felt my eyes widen slightly at what was said. I felt something deep in my soul crack. I was feeling myself snap from that line. That wasn't true... I couldn't take them saying that this was true.
"YOU ARE WRONG!" I shouted, "MURDERS DON'T BRING ANYONE CLOSER TOGETHER! ALL THEY CAUSE IS PAIN AND MISERY FOR EVERYONE AS WELL AS SUSPICION FOR FINDING THE GUILTY! DO YOU THINK WE WANT THIS!? DO YOU THINK WE'RE ALL OKAY WITH THIS!? WE AREN'T!"
I was breathing heavily as I felt the wear and tear of screaming like that. I haven't snapped like that since when Rantaro was supposedly dead. I didn't want to snap at everyone, but I couldn't take what was being said by those robotic bears anymore.
The room was silent from my outburst. The only thing heard in the room was my breathing. The commotion stopped for what seemed like hours. Everyone was looking at me with shock in their eyes, because I barely snapped at anyone like that.
Monodam nervously explained that he was conducting a "friendly" class trial. He was still going on about this even after I screamed bloody murder to him about what he said. There was no escaping the class trial either way. I had to face it even though in the future, it'd be pointless. Soon enough, Angie would be back, smiling with Himiko and the rest of her friends.
We were handed a Monokuma File by Monotaro. We also got Monophanie's opinion. She said we should stop the killing and dying. She was probably the most levelheaded Monokub. She said that dying is lame. I didn't agree with her on it being lame. Death was sad no matter what.
    Living was more of the rage to Monophanie. It was true because everyone wants to live a happy life. It's only natural to want something like that.
    After Monophanie said that line, she let out another stream of green puke. I could feel myself grow nauseous just from watching her. That combined with seeing Angie's body made this worse for me. This was going to be bad luck according to the Monokubs, and after that, they left.
    "As there is no use complaining, we are better off beginning our investigation..." Kiyo explained, "so everyone... We all know what we need to do, yes?"
    "Yep. I mean, by the second true murder, we should all be pretty used to dead bodies," Kokichi explained.
    I felt myself grow nauseous when Kokichi said that. He was too happy about this, and he was assuming that we would be used to these horrible things that we've seen. I wasn't used to it. I would never be used to it. The only reason I was doing this was to get everyone out alive. For that to happen... I need to be alone with Angie... or at least with people I can trust.
    "N-Not Gonta! No way Gonta ever get used to this!" Gonta exclaimed.
    "Trust me, you don't want to get used to this... No one should get used to this..." Maki explained with a slight glare.
    "Nee-heehee..." Kokichi laughed, "that's nice and all, but it seems pretty insincere coming from an assassin."
    'Uh oh...' I thought.
    Maki glared at Kokichi as a response to what he said. She was obviously angry with him for what he said about her.
Keebo recommended that we should investigate. We had no choice, but I at least wanted to get everyone out of the room so I could 'give Angie my respect". I needed to do this.
"Hey guys... do you mind if you all leave for a few minutes. I want to say goodbye to Angie alone..." I muttered.
"(y/n), I'm staying with you," Rantaro told me.
"So will I," Shuichi replied, "I have to give my respects to Angie as well."
"You guys do whatever. I'm going to investigate," Kokichi told us, "but (y/n), don't take too long. I don't want anything weird happening while anyone is alone."
I felt my blood go cold when he said that. A chill went up my spine in response. What did he know? Did he know about the gene? Was he trying to suspect me? I felt slightly lightheaded at the mention of that. It was terrifying. It was like he was looking through me. This made me realize that Kokichi knew a lot more than he let on. To the point that it was creepy to me. I needed to find a way to get him to drop the subject.
With a burst of determination, I hid the terrified expression that would've soon made its way onto my face. I kept the same expression, and I decided to try and reassure him.
"Why would anything weird happen?" I asked, "I think it's this killing game messing with your head. Please don't strain yourself too much, Kokichi."
Everyone was leaving the room as I said that. Everyone was leaving aside from the people who said they'd stay. Kokichi was silent for a moment, giving a carefree smile. Was that really what that was?
"I won't strain myself too much, (y/n)," Kokichi replied, "by the way, you do know I can tell a lie from the truth, right? You should be wary of that."
With that, Kokichi walked away, leaving me a shocked mess. I was uncomfortable. Did he actually know what was going on? The worst part about this was the fact that I didn't know if he was the mastermind or not. If he was the mastermind and he found out, I would defiantly be killed. That feeling started to weigh on me from gloom and fear. I needed to start this now though.

Kokichi's POV:

I was making my way to the first floor with a bunch of thoughts going through my mind. My goal was to make it to my safe haven, which was the secret room in the library. It was a shame that Rantaro found out in the beginning about that because of the hint I had to leave him. But that wasn't the only thing making my blood boil.
"How dare he... he's taking what's mine away from me!" I exclaimed to myself as I made my way to the route I had to go to get to my area, "I will kill him... I will kill him as many times as I need to... but that won't be enough for me."
I made it to the first floor as quickly as I could as more and more thoughts filled my head. I made my way to the boys bathroom where I could go into the storage closet and go to the secret room where I could watch everyone. They'd just think I'd be investigating, and they don't care enough about me to look for me. I still couldn't get that bastard out of my head.
"Killing him won't be enough for me," I said, a dark tone starting to fill my voice, "I will make him suffer. I'll torture him until he breaks. So many things I can do to him. I want his death to be slow and painful, just like how it felt when he was swooping my possession off of her feet. He will feel it all..."
I had a dark look in my eyes as I said this. I was going to make that boy suffer. Maybe if they got out, I'd track down his sisters and kill them all. That would also be perfect revenge for me. He would lose everything he cared about in this world. I was going to make sure that happened.
I entered the room that was supposed to be a secret room. I smirked uncontrollably as I walked up to the Motherkuma robot in the room.
"Give birth to a Monokuma. It's time that we get things rolling. I think that this case will get more and more complicated," I told the robot, "I don't think those stupid cubs can handle it."
"Yes, I will do so," the Motherkuma robot replied.
Soon enough, another Monokuma popped up, no bald spots on his fur. I smiled at this.
"Monokuma, you know what to do," I told him, "don't pop up until it's cued by your so called Kids."
"Alright!" The bear exclaimed, "you can count on me Mr. Mastermind."
I rolled my eyes at him in response to that. I looked over at the cameras where I could see everyone investigate. I noticed that Monodam had Monokid locked somewhere for the bullying that he's done.
That didn't matter to me. What mattered was my beloved. I traced my eyes across the cameras before finding the one for the Ultimate Artist Lab.
I saw her standing with Shuichi and that damn Rantaro. I balled my hands into fists as they shook from anger. After a few seconds, they calmed down.
"You'll be mine soon enough, (y/n)," I said with a crazy tone, "if everything goes according to plan that is."
As I looked at the camera, I noticed something. Shuichi has a weird look in his eyes. I think I was finally starting to get to him. Suddenly, he lunged onto Rantaro, his hands going around his neck. I could feel myself get excited about this.
I could feel my eyes go wide as the camera screen suddenly turned to static.
"What the hell is going on?' I thought.

Your POV:

    I was going to cry on Angie to save her. I had the device ready to turn on, but then something  happened. Shuichi suddenly lunged at Rantaro, both of them toppling over onto the ground. This was shocking to me. Why was Shuichi doing this. He couldn't hurt anyone. I turned on the device so nothing bad could happen outside of what was going on in this room. 
    I ran over to where the two were, noticing that Shuichi was trying to put his hands around Rantaro's neck.
    "Shuichi! What are you doing!? Stop this now!" I shouted.
    "I... I can't take it anymore. I can't take people dying and then suddenly they're alright. It happened with Rantaro and Kirumi. What is going on!?" Shuichi explained in response, tears in his eyes, "what ever happened, it couldn't save Ryoma..."
    My eyes widened slightly. They then softened. I needed to calm Shuichi down. Then I'd tell him what was going on.
    "Shuichi, I'll tell you everything, but first you need to calm down," I explained, "you probably won't believe what I have to say right now either."
Shuichi wasn't letting Rantaro go despite what I said. I had to take charge. I had to do something. I still had no idea what was even getting into Shuichi. He's helped us so much during class trials. If he was serious about helping Kaede, why was he suddenly attacking someone.
I ran at Shuichi, wrapping my arms around his waist and trying to pull him off Rantaro.
"Shuichi, just let go!" I exclaimed, "you believe in Kaede, right? If you believe her, then why are you trying to attack someone? It makes no sense!"
Shuichi's eyes seemed to widen in response to that. Tears filled his eyes as he let go of Rantaro. I knew that Shuichi was hurt over what was going on. He must've been confused as well. People were dying and coming back because of me, and he didn't even get to know that.
"I thought... since Rantaro was the first one to supposedly be dead and then come back, I thought he was the mastermind..." Shuichi explained.
"Rantaro is not the mastermind," I replied nervously, "if he was, he wouldn't have saved me when Angie tried to drown me."
Shuichi looked slightly shocked about that. It was like he forgot what I was explaining yesterday when Angie was still alive. I smiled lightly at Shuichi and rubbed his shoulder in a soothing way.
"I knew you were curious about what's been going on. You probably put on quite a show for the mastermind though," I explained with a sigh, "well, Shuichi... I owe you an explanation."
I wanted to give Shuichi the truth. I told both Kaede and him that Kaede wasn't the culprit. They probably questioned how I knew that despite being told by Rantaro.
"I know I told you and Kaede that she wasn't the culprit, and I was unfair of me to say that without explaining why," I explained with a sigh, "that's why I'm going to tell you the truth, as silly as it may sound. It will explain certain events and why I acted the way I did."
Shuichi seemed confused at what I was saying. It was understandable. I linked myself to certain things, causing someone to be brought back. I wanted to at least give Shuichi the truth. Rantaro slowly got up from the ground and walked next to me.
"Let's just get the explanation over with. I don't exactly blame him for acting the way he did," Rantaro explained.
I nodded nervously. I mean Shuichi had his reasons for suspecting Rantaro. It made sense even though we cleared most of the suspicion. Knowing what happened, I felt like I knew who the mastermind was... just because of what he told me before he left the room.
"So this goes all the way back to after the first trial," I explained, "Rantaro was dead, but suddenly he was alive again. I was curious on what was going on, so I had Miu give me a device that blocks out noise and camera signals in a room as long as it's turned on. After gathering this device, Rantaro and I decided to head to the library to see if anything could be found on what had just happened."
"Were you guys able to find anything?" Shuichi asked in response.
"Yes we were," I replied nervously.
I felt my hands start to shake. I was nervous to even tell Shuichi. He probably wouldn't believe what I said. It was scary to tell someone who wasn't actually brought back. It was terrifying to know that there was a chance that they'd call you crazy for trying to tell the truth, even if that truth was weird and seemingly impossible.
"Rantaro found an old looking book that seemed to have no cover..." I explained nervously, "that book had many supernatural and legendary powers. They were things that you wouldn't expect to exist, but they did. One of the certain things in the book was a rare gene called "Tears of Life". One person every century had this power, and it could bring back any person who is intact."
"Do you think this so called gene was used?" Shuichi asked nervously, "I mean it does sound crazy, but it links with what's happened so far. Ryoma wasn't intact when we found his body because of the piranhas eating his body. If someone at this school had this said power, it would make sense on why it worked on everyone aside from Ryoma."
Shuichi was smart in my eyes. He was observant in that case. He got that right. I would've brought Ryoma back if I could, but since his body wasn't intact... I couldn't do it.
"So who has it?" Shuichi asked.
"W-Well...." I stuttered, "it's me.."
Shuichi's eyes widened in response to that. He seemed very shocked about it.
"So that's why you knew Kaede didn't try and kill Rantaro! That's why you were so upset!" Shuichi exclaimed.
"Yeah..." I muttered nervously, "Rantaro even gave himself a paper cut and had me heal him to prove it..."
    "So you're the one who's been trying to ensure that everyone survives this..." Shuichi muttered.
    "Yes... that's my goal..." I replied with determination in my eyes.
In truth, that was my goal. Now the detective knew the truth, after so much had happened. I'm sure he knew he couldn't tell anyone... because if he did... I'd most likely die...

Hello all! This is the new update with some twists! I hope you all enjoy it! Ciao!- CRUSIFIXdroid
