Because you believed in me,
another path opened up

◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣◥◤◢◣

   It was just Mondo and I. 

   Chihiro ran off to find Kyoko--God knows what. It really was just the two of us, and it's starting to be for a while. Some days Chihiro would join us, some days actually, Yashihiro sometimes too.

   The rest, we would hang out once in a while... but sometimes you gotta enjoy hanging out with the classic friends.

   However, today wasn't one of those days. He looked upset as we looked around the body. He kept grumbling something along the lines of "I wanna get outta this depressing as shit hellhole! Get down to the beach or somethin'..."

   He was kicking things in his way, i finally lost it when he slammed the door behind us. "Dude--stop. What's wrong?"

   "Ahh, dammit! Bastard! Dammit bastard son of a bitch!"

   "Mondo? Why are you so mad?"

   "Why am I mad? Why am I mad!?" He flung his arms around, spinning in a circle. "Can't you SEE why I'm mad!? I need to get outta here! I need to get out and run wild! I'm so pissed off right now! Shit!"

   "I know how you feel, but...just don't do anything crazy, okay?" I rolled my eyes and opened the door he previously closed.

   "Crazy?! I'm not crazy!"

   "You both look and sound crazy--" I bent down to the body, there was only one thing I could really inspect--except the burn marks. There's something next to the body. It's...a key? Is it what Kyoko took from Monokuma? Nah--The key she stole was shaped like Monokuma. This isn't anything like that.

   "Hey, how about we have a one-on-one!?" Mondo suggested, angry that I was giving my attention to something else. I sighed giving Makoto the key, he inspected it himself so I could pay attention to mondo.

   "One-on-one!?"

   "Relax. It's just a bare knuckle brawl. No weapons. Whaddya say!?"

   "...What the fuck...? We're in the middle of an investigation and you wanna scrap?"

   "And? What about it? Didn't ya hear me? A bare knuckle brawl. Bare. Knuckle. Brawl!"

   Byakuya came and grabbed onto my apron, "You guys will not argue right now. I will absolutely lose it to both of you if you 'scrap'."

   "Aw man, it's going to be fine! A hand-to-hand fight! Hand to hand! Knuckle to knuckle!"

   Makoto interrupted, "H-Hold on! Friends can't fight each other!"

   "You guys are not fighting, that is final." Byakuya huffed.

   "But that's the only way I can burn off all this energy!"

   "No means no!" Byakuya dropped me off next to Celestia. "Here, babysit Y/N."

   "Do I get paid?" She smirked, but he wasn't really in the joking mood.

   "Let's get back on track, this key.. I've never seen this key before. What could it possibly go to...?"

   Makoto sighed when even the ultimate progeny had no clue where the key went or went. "So even you don't know, then?"

   "Makoto...I'm going to give you a very important task...." He turned to me, "I would say to take Y/N with you but Mondo might try to fight them, so take Mondo with you. That key might give you access to certain areas we thought were locked. The bio lab, the data center, the headmaster's room, and the dorm rooms on the 2nd floor... It's in your hands."

   The two ran off and I was left alone with Celestia, Byakuya and Yashihiro. I asked, "What do we do?"

   "We should wait for Makoto to return and try to salvage any more clues around the body." He explained.

   "I prefer not to stick my nose in a dead corpse."

   Byakuya argued back with Celestia, "We need clues don't we?"

   "I don't see you digging around."

   "Hmpt, I'm simply observing..."

   He sighed, looking around. He scanned all of us. His eyes lingered on Yoshihiro for a little too long. Before the Ultimate progeny could volunteer him to search for the body, Hiro held up a hand. "Don't even think about it. I predict futures, not search bodies."

   "I've had enough cosplaying Hu Tao, we already searched for the body." I jumped to argue with his thoughts when his eyes skipped to mine.

   I couldn't be more thankful when Makoto ran back in here with Mondo. Mondo's fists were raised when he chased after the 5'3 male. Makoto skidded to a stop, he even fell on the floor.

  "I guess sending Mondo with him wasn't the best idea--" I stifled a laugh.

   "It...appears that I was wrong." Byakuya sighed. I decided to leave the group and search for clues on my own. To be honest, the rest of the investigation system went really fast, my nerves were jumping around.

   I followed the group down the hallway and through the big red door. I calmed my breathing every few seconds. The lower and lower the elevator went, the higher my anxiety got.

   This is the end, this is the last time i'm going to ever ride down the elevator......
