Your POV:

    After the new form of training Kaito had us do, I had returned to my dorm. Learning more about Maki during that time, now knowing why she hated using swords. How we found out about the mission she botched from a katana...
    I was exhausted for some reason. My gut was telling me that I should try getting as much rest as I could, and I didn't know why. It was like I was more mentally exhausted than I have been for awhile. Maybe it was because I was keeping part of what was stressing me out on the inside.
    I knew that I should be venting my concerns, but it wasn't like it mattered right now. I was happier than I was when I was younger, so I should just be happier that things were starting to look up. Even though I was blamed for the meteorites... the world ending... I wasn't being blamed like that anymore. I was in a relationship.
    Those were the thoughts that were on my mind as I fell asleep after spending time with Shuichi, Kaito, Maki and Ryoma, however.... I seemed to lose track of time. I only intended to sleep for a small portion of the day. I wasn't intending to sleep throughout the whole day.
    When I opened my eyes, I could see the darkness that only showed itself when it was nighttime. I rubbed my eyes slightly to get the sleep out of it, and honestly, I didn't process what time it actually was. After a few moments, I realized that it wasn't the afternoon anymore. It was borderline evening or nighttime.
    'Did I really sleep for an entire day!?' I thought with a genuinely shocked expression on my face, 'R-Rantaro didn't even come to wake me up! Did he not want to disturb me or someth—'
    Before I could finish my internal panic, I was brought out of it by the sound of my doorbell ringing. Since it was nighttime, I figured that it would be Kaito or Maki coming to my dorm room to see what was up. It seemed that I even slept through the nighttime announcement, so I had no idea how long past the announcement I slept through.
    'Is Kaito and Maki here to fetch me for training...?' I thought, 'I mean that does make sense since it's nighttime now...'
    With a small sigh, I walked over to the door that led out of my dorm room. It was obviously self explanatory, considering it was the only door that led to the quote on quote lobby of the dormitory. I was expecting to see Kaito or Maki, because it was time for nighttime training. I knew I needed to head out in order to train.
    I opened the door with an apologetic look, expecting to see Kaito or Maki, but that isn't what happened at all. When I opened the door, there was no sign of Maki or Kaito. Instead of one of them, I saw Miu standing there.
    Miu had an impatient look on her face, accompanied with her hand placed on her hip. She looked really pissed at me for some reason, and it filled me with a dreadful feeling of anxiety.
    "It's about fuckin' time you opened the door!" Miu shouted, "were you jacking off in there or what!?"
    It was now obvious to me that she was angry that I wasn't at the door right away. She always assumed that something lewd was going on when no one answered right away. In my case right now, she assumed that I was 'jacking off'.
I couldn't help but feel slightly offended by that, but the fact was... Miu was Miu, and I couldn't change that. I honestly didn't know why she talked that way, but I knew it was her personality. I knew very well that I wasn't doing anything inappropriate, so I felt like I would voice that to her.
"I wasn't doing anything inappropriate..." I told her, " I was sleeping..."
"Heeeee!" Miu exclaimed in response, "you shouldn't be using that tone with your savior!"
'What does she mean by that...?' I thought, 'I know she mentioned something about saving us, but I don't even know what she did... why is she even here this late...?'
I was honestly wondering what she was here for. I was pretty sure it was something about what she was foreshadowing earlier, but my mind was completely blank. I guess the only way I could find out what was going on is if I asked her.
"So, what are you doing here this late?" I asked.
"I figured me and the twins could swing by and pay your virgin ass a visit!" Miu exclaimed in response, "so, have you and Craptaro had sex yet!? If so I defiantly want to know the details!"
"No I haven't!" I replied with an angry tone, "and even if something like that did happen, why do you think it's your business!?"
"Heeeee!" Miu exclaimed in response, "y-you can't blame me for being curious!"
I let out a small sigh in response to that. Sometimes, I didn't even understand why Miu said stuff like this. I had to just stay patient with her. She was here for a reason, and I wanted to know why.
"Let me ask again..." I muttered, "what brings you here this late...?"
"What brings me here this late?" Miu asked in response, seemingly taunting me with it, "ch-cheer up! Thanks to me, you get to leave this confusing place!"
When Miu said that, my eyes widened from shock. From what she was saying, it was telling me there was a way to escape. If that was true, then that would be amazing. I didn't know what she meant by escaping, but I knew I had the right to ask.
"We can escape?" I asked in response.
"Just come to the computer room on the fourth floor of the academy!" Miu exclaimed in response, "but there's no rush, so if you wanna let Craptaro fuck the shit outta you, you got time. Bring the used condoms afterwards! I wanna see them!"
    Before I could say anything in response to that, Miu left. She didn't seem to sound that serious about what she was saying. As much as I was upset that she was asking about my love life as well as making assumptions about what I was doing, I couldn't just ignore what she was saying. And, in any case, a relationship wasn't just about sex. If I decided to do anything like that with Rantaro, it would be in the future, when I am comfortable with it.
    I shook my head lightly to get my mind back on top of what was going on. Miu told me to go to the computer lab on the fourth floor. I was guessing that I wasn't the only one being invited. If Miu was being accurate with that she was saying about escaping, chances were she invited everyone else too.
    "I should probably head to the computer lab then..." I muttered to myself.
    I knew that even if Miu didn't sound serious, she probably was. With that thought in my mind, I made my way to the door of my dormitory. I opened the door, and I was met with an all too familiar face.
    "Hey, (y/n)," Rantaro spoke, "did Miu come by your dorm room too?"
    When Rantaro told me that, I realized that what I was thinking before was correct. It looked to me like that Miu didn't just pay my dorm a visit. She probably visited the dorms of the others as well, Rantaro being proof of that.
    "Yeah, she did..." I muttered, "Miu wanted me to go to the computer lab on the fourth floor, and she wouldn't stop making inappropriate comments about us..."
Rantaro seemed to let out a sigh from frustration. As he let out his sigh, he seemed to ruffle his hair slightly. It was almost as if he wasn't surprised about what Miu was saying.
"Yeah, I know," Rantaro told me, his voice sounding slightly irritated, "she tried hounding me for information about our nonexistent sex life..."
"Yeah... she even told me that I had time to do stuff like that with you..." I muttered, "I'm not even ready for that sort of thing, so I don't get why she's so adamant on getting information about that."
Rantaro seemed to think for a moment in response to that. He seemed to be thinking long and hard for an answer to my words. He let out a small sigh.
"I honestly don't know," Rantaro replied, "Miu is Miu, and we all know that she is the one who prefers to be on top..."
"Yeah, I agree," I replied before giving a small chuckle, "nice using your same joke from awhile back."
Rantaro seemed to chuckle lightly in response to that. I didn't know if it was because that I remembered what he told me when we first decided to hang out. It was kinda obvious that Miu always would want to be the person on top. It was her character, as well as it being a dirty joke.
    "I didn't know you remembered that, (y/n)," Rantaro laughed, "but I'm pretty happy about that nonetheless."
    "I think I have a pretty good memory," I laughed, "I guess you can say that's my character."
    Rantaro smiled lightly at me before bringing his hand up to my head, ruffling my hair with a small smile. He chuckled as he did this, and whenever I heard his laugh or chuckle, I was already trapped, hook line and sinker.
    "I wouldn't have it any other way," Rantaro replied, bringing his hand away from my head, "in any case, we should head over to the fourth floor computer lab. The reason I stopped by was because I wanted to walk with you."
    "I'm glad you did," I replied, "I'm still kinda nervous about going to the fourth floor. I'd rather walk with you, so I can grab your hand if I'm scared."
    Rantaro smiled lightly in response to that. He grabbed my hand, causing a blush to sprout onto my face. I knew he was overjoyed to hear me say that, but it was the truth. Being alone... it wasn't fun, but my life was showing a lot more light ever since I met him. I knew that I was still head over heels for him, and that would never dissipate for as long as I was alive.
    "Alright, princess, I shall be your knight in shining armor," Rantaro joked, "if you feel scared, I will keep you safe, so don't worry."
    I nodded in response to his words with a small giggle. With that said, hand in hand, we made our way to the fourth floor computer lab. I knew now that everyone got the same message, so I was sure that everyone would be there by the time we got up there.
    Those thoughts were fresh in my mind as we entered the school, heading to the dreaded fourth floor. The place where my life was almost taken to me by Kiyo.
    That reminded me. Kiyo didn't get the message that everyone else did. He couldn't have... I was guessing since he was in Ryoma's lab, his hands tied together, he wouldn't be invited by Miu so he couldn't try to kill anyone again. I knew that where Kiyo was, he couldn't try to kill me again. That thought filled me with relief, but also empathy... sorrow...
    I knew what it was like to be alone... not having anyone. I knew that I was still facing PTSD from what happened, but I couldn't help but empathize with him. I wondered if it was wrong of me to do that. I knew that Kiyo killed for his sister... I knew that the attempt on my life was partially because of that. I still couldn't help but empathize with him being alone, and I didn't know if that was right or wrong.
    As I was in thought, I didn't realize that we were already on the second floor. Rantaro and I both seemed to be silent as we walked, both deep in thought. I noticed this as soon I realized that we were on the second floor. I realized that we were not just getting closer to the fourth floor, but we were getting closer to the Ryoma's lab where Kiyo was tied up in.
    I felt myself grasp Rantaro's hand a little tighter than I normally would from the anxiety forming. I was nervous about everything. Having Rantaro next to me really did help me out. I was hoping that I was helping him out by bring with him too.
    Rantaro stopped as soon as he felt my hand tighten around his. Since Rantaro stopped, I decided I would too, so now... we were just standing in the middle of the second floor area of the school. Rantaro was silent for a few moments before...
    Rantaro seemed to smile lightly at me before rubbing the top of my head with the hand that wasn't holding mine. In response to that, I couldn't help but smile lightly.
    "Everything is going to be okay, princess," Rantaro told me, "like I said, I will protect you from anything that tries to hurt you."
    "I know," I replied, "I can't help it but be nervous though."
    "I know, but try to just take deep breaths when we are up on the third and fourth floor," Rantaro told me in response to that, "I believe in you. You can do this. I will be there with you, so you don't have to worry."
    I nodded lightly in response to that. Soon enough, we started walking again, soon making it to the staircase that led to the third floor. Once we got up there, I just stared at the ground as I tried to keep calm. I knew I could do this. I needed to get past everything that happened.
    I may have been almost killed, but the fact was, everyone else was safe. That was all I could hope for. Needed to just let myself relax. I let out a sigh as I felt myself zone out as we walked to the staircase that led to the fourth floor. We were almost there. I knew this, so there shouldn't have been anything to worry about.
    Soon enough we made to the fourth floor, making our way to the computer lab. I remembered what happened when I found the lab. It was all in the use of the hammer and force. I remembered that I managed to get a gash in my cheek from the glass. I realized that there was still trace of the cut on my face. I giggled to myself when I remembered how Rantaro reacted when I cut my cheek. Him being the usually laid back type telling me to be more careful. I found it adorable that he worried about me that much.
    Even if I wanted to think back on each moment we had, I needed to stay focused. We entered the computer lab on the fourth floor moments later. Everyone was in the computer lab, it seemingly being more crowded. There was only one person missing, and that was Kiyo. It was for obvious reasons why he wasn't here and I knew that. Looking around the computer lab, I noticed something strange.
When I first saw the computer lab, there looked to be less chairs than the number of people here, but now there seemed to be the exact number of chairs for everyone.
This caused me to think of a certain fact. Since the first time I saw this lab, there were only ten chairs... that led me to believe that there was supposed to be ten people left alive when this area was unlocked. That's all it could mean. I was guessing that all of us weren't supposed to make it this far, so that's why more of these devices were messily scattered around the massive computer.
In any case, Miu did visit everyone's dorm. That's why everyone aside from Kiyo was here, and I didn't think I was the only one who realized that fact. I'm sure everyone else knew what was going on. It would be pretty obvious once many people started entering the room one after another.
"As I suspected...everyone aside from Kiyo was brought here," Shuichi explained.
"Yeah... I expected that Kiyo wouldn't be trusted to join as well..." I muttered with a small sigh.
"Pooichi, don't act all depressed just cuz you didn't get to spend any alone time with me!" Miu exclaimed, giving a thumbs down, "and (y/n)! Don't act all sad cuz Craptaro didn't get to rail the fuck outta you!"
Almost instantly, Rantaro and I seemed to tense up in response to Miu's words. Now Rantaro seemed to know the type of things Miu was saying that classified as lewd. The worst thing about this was that she screamed it to the rooftops. Everyone could hear what she was saying, and it didn't settle well with me.
"Why don't you shut the hell up you ugly cum dumpster!" Kokichi exclaimed before Rantaro and I could say anything, "nee-hee-hee~ no one wants to listen to your dirty whore words. So why don't you just keep your fucking mouth shut and tell everyone why you gathered them here."
"Heeee!" Miu exclaimed in response, "d-don't get c-cocky Kokichi. Y-You all s-should be grateful to me!"
"Why should we be grateful for a trashy skank whore?" Kokichi asked in response, "nee-hee-hee, that was just a lie. Go on, explain!"
"Even if she doesn't explain, there's no way that we wouldn't want to show up when we were told that there's a chance to escape," Tsumugi explained.
    "But I still think it smells fishy," Himiko muttered.
    "I agree! I think it's fishy that someone on par with a degenerate male would even tell us that there was a way to escape!" Tenko exclaimed.
    "Really?" Kokichi seemed to ask in response to that, "why is it fishy? Don't you all have a feeling something fun is gonna happen instead?"
    'Why is he talking like that...?' I thought.
    I was always worried when Kokichi seemed to twist the mood in the room by just one or two sentences. I felt like he always arrived to events like these to cause chaos for everyone else. The way he acted to Miu, starting drama. I didn't know what was a lie or the truth from his words anymore. That's why he was such an enigma.
    Kaito seemed to mention the fact that Kokichi seemed to show up for stuff like this. He proceeded to say that he had him figured out. Kokichi seemed to just shrug his words off, saying that the key mutual friendship was understanding each other.
    I found myself slightly confused in response to that. I knew that Kaito didn't consider Kokichi as friend. I wanted to be friends with everyone, but I knew that other people didn't feel the same way about each other. Kokichi and Kaito's mannerisms towards each other were definite proof about that. The same thing could be said about Kokichi and Miu.
    There was one thought I'm the back of my mind though. That was what this method of escape was. Miu never gave any details on the matter when she came to visit my lab. All she did was beat around the bush by making inappropriate comments about Rantaro and my relationship.
    In any case, I wondered who was going to be the first to speak up about what Miu wanted to do to get us out of here. I wanted to at least speak up and ask Miu a question before she would have to tell us what she was planning.
    "So Miu... does your plan fully exclude Kiyo because of what he tried doing?" I asked.
    "It actually looks like one of you shitheads know what's going on!" Miu exclaimed with a slight smirk, "that's right (y/n)! Kiyo is excluded from our escape because that creepy shitshow tried to kill (y/n) and Angie! I'm not having this shit for what my plan is!"
    I didn't know whether to feel offended or proud from what Miu replied to my question with. I didn't know whether to feel offended that she referred to us as "shitheads" or to feel happy that she actually said something nice about me aside from insulting me.
    Miu never really said anything nice about others unless it was beneficial to her. I knew that very well about Miu. She even went as far to give very bad nicknames to people, including Rantaro and Shuichi. In any case, with everyone knowing that Kiyo was excluded, we could now ask what Miu's plan was.
"...So, what's this *way* for getting out of here?" Maki asked.
"Is there really a way?" Keebo asked in response.
"Nyahahaha!" Angie exclaimed, "Atua tells me that there is a way to escape! That is why Miu has gathered us here!"
"Duh-doy!" Of course there is! I don't want to be backed up by some petty-ass god!" Miu exclaimed, "plus, geniuses like me never make mistakes!"
"Miu, that didn't answer Maki's question," Kaede told her, "how are we going to escape?"
"We're goin' to another world!" Miu exclaimed, "a world with no killing games, no Monokuma, and no Kiyo!"
'Another world...?' I thought in response to Miu's words.
I was wondering what Miu meant by that. Another world... I honestly didn't even know if that was possible at this point. I couldn't get my mind wrapped around it. We were in a computer lab, so I had a feeling that this had something to do with the large computer, but aside from that... I was clueless.
"*Another world*?" Shuichi asked in response, "and also I get why Kiyo wasn't invited, but we have Kirumi and Kaede who were convicted in previous cases that were somehow false."
"Oh...you wanna know? Huh? Do ya?" Miu asked, "well Kaeidiot and Kirumi had actual motivation, and they proved themselves to be trusted. Kiyo, I don't fuckin' know. That creep show can stay locked up in Ryoma's lab! As for your first question, I'll tell ya if you bow to me! On your knees! Now!"
"Huh? Why...?" Tsumugi asked.
"Hehe... When Shuichi and Kaede bowed to me... it sorta awoke somethin' in me..." Miu explained with a blush on her face, "now hurry the fuck up and bow to me, you masochistic shits!"
I honestly didn't know what to think about all of this. Miu was certainly an interesting character. She always made sexual references just for the heck of it, and she never was truly serious about anything.
As someone who wanted to believe in everyone like Kaito, I wanted to hear what Miu's plan was. Even if I did want to bow down to her. The only thing I ever recalled on the matter was during Rantaro's *case*, she Miu did mention that Kaede and Shuichi begged her to make the cameras for them.
If Miu was acting so cocky about her plan, she should just tell everyone what she meant. If she wanted us to comply, she should be the one who tells us everything it's just how it was. And that's just what happened.
"...Hm?" Kokichi asked, "shouldn't you be the one bowing down to us?"
What I didn't know however, was the fact that this whole situation would turn into something a lot worse. The sense of a brewing malice, slowly steeping until it was almost over-bearable was coming for everyone.
Everyone being gathered in the computer lab never realized a malice was coming soon. In the form of not only Karma... but betrayal as well.
