He couldn't sleep. Thoughts were racing through his head.

This feeling wasn't a good thing.. he hadn't ever really felt this way about anyone before. Ah! Not like this feeling was anything at all!! Kokichi slammed his fists into his bed. "I've known him for one day! How could I have these feelings for someone I basically just met?! No! These feelings are nothing!" Kokichi buried his head in his hands.

He took deep breaths.

"AARRGHH!" He let out a scream but continued to burry his head in his palms, "I HATE THIS!"

...........

Shuichi raised his head up at the faint sound of someone yelling something. He could make out what it was they were saying but someone defiantly said something.

Shuichi had resorted to sitting on the floor. He hadn't got any rest because he was fixed on sorting out the motive videos.

He had paired a few people with motives but he couldn't figure out what to do with Ryoma's, Maki's, Kokichi's.. or his own motive video.

So far.. he had this.

He didn't know who's motive to give himself.

He didn't know who to give Kokichi's motive video to.

He didn't know what to do with Maki's.

and he defiantly couldn't give Ryoma his own video.

Based on last time, Kaito was accepting about Maki's talent.. maybe he could give him her motive video? No. That would mean that Kaito would have Kokichi's motive video which couldn't happen..

maybe Kaito could have Ryoma's video. Shuichi could warn him and make him promise not to exchange the video, no matter what. Yes, that could work.

Ryoma could have Maki's.. he wouldn't judge Maki for being an assassin. That could work.

He couldn't give Kokichi his own motive video.. which would mean...

"..."

Shuichi stared down at the only option left.

"I have to give K-Kokichi my.. my motive video." Shuichi stuttered, "I-It's the only.. its the only option.."

He completed the list.

He put his pen down. "This should prevent the murders.."

He looked around his room, slightly paranoid that someone could be listening. He needed to get the motive videos to the rest of the students before someone found them. How was he going to get the motive videos to them? He couldn't get into their rooms..

wait.

Shuichi stood up from the floor and started to quietly call out, "Monomi!"

The room was silent for a few seconds before a cheery voice piped up. "Hello! Did you need me for something?"

Shuichi took a relieved sigh. "Could you deliver these? It would be really helpful."

Monomi looked up to where Shuichi was pointing. "The tablet things? Yes I can do that! Who do I know who they are meant for??"

Shuichi picked up the list and handed it to her, "This shows who they are meant for and who gets them."

Monomi smiled, "I'm on it!" then picked up the motive videos, stacking them like jenga blocks, and waddled out the room. Shuichi got up to close the door after her but he heard a voice call out to him. "Shuichi!"

Shuichi was slightly alarmed to hear the voice.. it was after the evening announcement after all. He walked to the door and peered out of it, looking for the person who had called his name. He scanned his head around the dorm rooms but he couldn't see any one. He reached out to close the door but a hand caught it.

Shuichi instinctively jerked back from the door as he wasn't suspecting someone to grab it. After getting himself together, he opened the door fully to expose who was standing there.

Kokichi Ouma was standing there.

"What are you doing?.."

"I couldn't sleep, I keep thinking someone's going to kill me when I'm asleep." The liar moaned, dragging his hand down his face dramatically, trying to emphasise his 'tiredness'.

"Why are you here?.."

The liar looked pretty taken back, "I thought it was obvious! Ughhh! You're awake, I'm awake, let's hang out or something!"

Shuichi blinked his eyes, "Hang out?.. It's like 12:30.."

"It's 1:30am BUT come on! Let's walk around or something. I'm kind of restless." Kokichi smiled falsely.

Shuichi was considering his offer, he was still dressed in his uniform.. he was also restless.. plus, maybe he could find out more about him if he went?

What was there to loose?

"Give me a few seconds.." Shuichi instructed before fetching his door key from his bedside. He opened the door and exited the room, locking it after him.

Kokichi was still surprised that Shuichi actually agreed to go with him.. it was a complete long shot, but somehow, it worked, "Follow me!"

Kokichi started to walk off somewhere and Shuichi had no other choice but to follow him. Eventhough Kokichi attempted to walk ahead, Shuichi caught up with him easily due to his superior height. "Hey!"

"What?" Shuichi asked, smirking slightly.

"Stop walking so quick!" Kokichi exclaimed, weirdly starting to become out of breath.

Shuichi slowed down his pace and let out a little chuckle for a reason he could really explain..

wait.. that was the first time he had laughed since the killing game began again. It felt somewhat nice to laugh again, "It's not my fault if you can't keep up." Shuichi joked back, which was unlike his usual self, letting out another laugh.

Kokichi was shocked at the new side of the serious boys' personality. Maybe he was more relaxed now as everyone else wasn't there with them?

Kokichi took a sudden left without telling Shuichi, making him nearly walk into a wall. Kokichi turned around to see where the detective had gone, "Come on! Keep up."

Kokichi raced up a staircase and Shuichi swiftly followed on behind him. When Shuichi reached the top of the staircase, he was taken away by the unexpected view.

Kokichi pointed towards the railings and lent against them. He turned to Shuichi and gestured for him to join him. Shuichi started to anxiously walk towards the railings and eventually joined Kokichi, gazing at the beautiful view.

"For being trapped here, a view like this is pretty nice.." Shuichi smiled, transfixed on the view, not focusing on anything else.

Kokichi turned his head to look at Shuichi's face, "Yeah, it really is beautiful isn't it?"

Shuichi turned to face him and Kokichi instantly went back to facing forwards. "Did you say something?"

"Nope."
