The next morning we ate peacefully, deciding to go investigate...Until Genocider came by, like a jump scare, startling us all with her perversions.
I went with Celeste to the 3rd floor, and soon, we found a recreation room, so she started teaching me card games and other gambling tricks.
I was starting to get better and better at this, until Naegi and Monokuma came by.

Godamn Monokuma said there won't be anymore up to date magazine issues.
But the way he said it...And the way Celeste is acting...
I have a bad feeling.
Please don't make it be true...

Ahem, nevermind that.
She even taught me how to play Othello, and I taught her how to play Chess, since she only knew of Shogi and Go.
And we started learning how to play pool too!
This camera is truly a piece of Heaven!

After that, we went around and found an Art room! It looked sooo amazing, my eyes were sparkling in delight! (Except for the Monokuma statues).
But there was something that caught my attention...A certain picture...
I picked it up and Celeste came behind me, looking over my shoulder.

Me: Wh-What...?
Celeste: Is this really a picture?
Me: S-Seems so?
Celeste: But how could the Mastermind edit it like this?

I quickly hid the picture in my skirt pocket and dragged Celeste to the bathroom, one of the only places without cameras.

Me: Polaroids cannot be edited or photoshopped in this state. There must be something else...
Celeste: The picture makes us think that we've been here before and had a normal school life with the others.
Me: *takes out the picture* If it's true...It's obvious why we're friends now too, huh?
Celeste: *smiles* We are just meant to be, that's all. No matter which life we are living, we are still going to meet and be friends.
Me: Certainly...What do you think about the theory that...We had our memories erased?
Celeste: That would surely justify the picture.
Me: How did the Mastermind do it? Did we do something?
Celeste: I somehow doubt we had a part in the memory wipe. However, it is a plausible thesis.
Me: The first time we met...Or saw everything after waking up...Did you feel...Anything familiar?
Celeste: *nods* It was just a weird gut feeling, so I thought nothing of it. But now that you mention it, it must be of importance.

I let out a frustrated growl, ruffling my hair aggressively, trying to remember, when I hear Celeste's angelic laugh.

Me: Wh-What?
Celeste: You're just adorable. I can safely say that you're a rank B.
Me: *excited* I-I am worthy?!
Celeste: If you aren't, then nobody else is.

With a seductive smile, she raised my chin with her finger, and got close to my face.

Celeste: You're the only one I'd ever need.
Me: You're the only one for me.
Celeste: Perfect~.
Me: Have you ever had a dream? Like...A lifetime ultimate goal that you've always wanted to achieve? Just so I know what to start doing once we get out of here.
Celeste: *chuckles* Promise to keep it a secret?
Me: Of course!
Celeste: I've always wanted to live in my own European castle, surrounded by a bunch of vampire butlers doing everything I told them to.
Me: You're a princess, so it's only natural to want to be treated as such. I would make sure to treat you like that.
Celeste: I would need you by my side. When we get out of here, will you join me?
Me: Certainly! I'd be honoured to!
Celeste: Great! It's settled then.

After our little eye contact promise, we inspected the other rooms, like the Physics lab, where we found an air purifier for...Some reason.
What's in here that could be fatal, but this thing is saving us?
Or what is outside that could get inside and kill us all?
A gas, but what gas?
And Monokuma mentioned it being made by the Ultimate Physicist, who died during the tragedy.
But what tragedy?
Is this tragedy the reason Hope's Peak is like this?
Just what happened out there that fucked up our world?

-----

In the cafeteria, Hiro gave away Byakuya's location to Genocider, who's a total Yandere.
Then, we went over what we found out during the investigation, which was futile as always.
Also, Naegi told us of a picture he too found in the Art room, with Mondo, Leon and Chihiro, laughing.
I and Celeste shared a glance, then listen to the others' talking.
About how the picture couldn't be taken at the moment, because we witnessed everyone's death.
However, Celeste told everyone the picture was forged. Clearly, she doesn't want anyone else to know.
Moreover, she called Hina out for her lying,and said what gave her away.
Well, she's a terrible liar anyways. And she gave herself away.

And, she confessed how she saw , last night, a ghost , after midnight, while going to the cafeteria, that turned out to be a a laptop that Chihiro tempered with.
Leaving us with a very welcomed Alter Ego AI, in one of the lockers in the sauna room.
Bless you, briliant kid.
And Celeste mocked Hina for mistaking the laptop light for a ghost.
And Yamada was having perverse fantasy.

I took the laptop in my lap, staying on the bench and started typing rapidly, until it started glowing. Clicking on the Alter Ego icon, Chihiro's A.E face appeared, talking to us.

A.E: *smiling* Master! You're here!
Hiro: I-It's a ghost! Buddha and sweet baby Jesus, save me!
Kyouko: Calm down. It's not a ghost.
Me: Shhhh. What are you?
A.E: Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Fujisaki Chihiro. Eheh...I always get so embarrassed introducing myself.
Nargi: Th-That voice...The tone and everything...
Me: Mhm...So I finally see an A.E. again.
Kyouko: You've seen an Alter Ego program before?
Me: *nods* My brother...I remember him coming home once and he showed me his work's new achievement. It was absolutely brilliant. But when did he manage to do such a complex program in such a short time, with a malfunctioning device?
Kyouko: It's how he earned his Ultimate title after all. The AI lives in the computer and by repeating different tasks, it gains knowledge and grows bit by bit. Chihiro used a support vector machine and reinforcement learning to develop it.
Me: No wonder he eventually came with a breakthrough in A.I. design. It's mind-blowing.
Naegi: What?
Kyouko: Put it simply, it's a learning method for computers.
Hifumi: Just google it if you wanna know.
Me: With no wifi and a possible tyrant finding out? Retard.
Kyouko: If this AI continues to grow, it will become more than just a piece of software to help people.
Me: Let's find out more. How much do you know about what's going on?
AI: Master only gave me a general idea...But I do know that things have become very grave. He found himself caught up with this without warning.
Me: Why are you here?
AI: Are you asking what Master planned for me? Well...He wanted me to analyze the massive number of files stores on this laptop. I believe the files are related to the school, but the protection on them is surprisingly strong. So it's taking me a little longer than I thought. But here's what Master must have been thinking...The fact that the files are protected so tightly means they must contain some important secrets. For example, perhaps...the secret of this school.
Naegi: *gasps* !
Me: How much longer until everything's unlocked?
AI: Umm...It's gonna be a while. But I'm definitely gonna do it, so you can just leave it to me!
Kyouko: So because of how long it would take, he designed Alter Ego to handle the workload.
Me: At least he didn't get discovered. If the Mastermind would have found out about this, he might have jeopardized Chihiro's attempt to save us.
Celeste: Smart. It also means that the work remains uninterrupted, even after his death.
Me: Keep it up. But be careful not to let the Mastermind notice you.
AI: Don't worry. I've got a secret plan all ready, just in case. Actually, I can see what's going on using built-in webcam, so if anyone suspicious shows up, I'll just scream for help real loud!
Naegi: It's a pretty...Basic plan, I have to say.
Celeste: It's fine during the day, but nighttime is a concern...
Me: I'll keep my door open at night, then. The soundproof rooms won't be a problem then.
Kyouko: I shall do the same, just in case. Our rooms are the closest to the bath house anyways. There's no way either of us can miss Alter Ego yelling.
Hiro: B-But...If you leave your door open all night, then...
Kyouko: There's a chance one of us may become a victim, I know. We're not as weak as you might think.
Me: Like we'd go down without a fight. I may have weak legs, but I can still defend myself.
AI: Umm...Would you mind if I asked a few questions? I haven't seen Master for a while. When you got here, I thought it was him, But...Is Master...?
Me: ...Chihiro is dead. Mondo killed him.
AI: I see...To be honest, I knew all along. I knew the chances that Master would survive this situation were very low. So...I was prepared for this moment...
Me: I'm sorry...I'll come back later.
AI: Yes, please do! It's a promise, okay?
Me: Definitely. See you later.
AI: Bye bye!

Then, Hiro talked about talking about finding internet connection, but the idea was too risky. So we left the room, with everyone having different feelings about this whole ordeal.
But just as we left the sauna, Hina shouted in joy, and Monokuma came and interrogated us. These guys suck at lying, and Monokuma started talking about perverse things, flustering some of the weaklings.
Thankfully, Celeste saved us by saying that us ,girls, were planning an All-Girls day at the bath house. She's amazing~♡.
So we ended up going to the bath house.

I know I'm embarrassed about this, despite all of us being girls, but hey, it's the first time I actually have interactions with people my age.
Most of the time, I and Celeste enjoyed the the water with nice glass of red wine.
It was probably the most relaxing thing I've ever done in my life.
But that couldn't last for too long, 'cause Monokuma came over and asked for uis to go to the gym, to provide us with yet another motive.

When we got there, Byakuya and Fukawa were already there.
A certain blond was beyond pissed for making him wait.

Togami: To be kept waiting by the likes of you. Rest assured, if we had access to firearms, you'd all be dead.
Me: That's be an explosive performance.
Naegi: Togami? Did you get here early?
Togami: Did you forget how to walk? Is that why you're late? It's simple-right foot, left foot. Right foot...
Celeste: *giggles* The same as always, I see. Her, on the other hand...
Hiro: Oh, she's back to her Debbie Downer self, huh?
Togami: I heard what sounded like a sneeze, and she was back to her old self.
Hifumi: So now she goes from manic to depressive whenever she sneezes? Seems kinda late to add that into the mix.
Toko: Why does e-everyone keep making fun of me...? I hope you all win the l-lottery and get hit by a b-bus.
Me: *laughs* I wouldn't mind that.
Hina: So, when you wanna say something mean, then you can talk, huh?
Sakura: Anyways, looks like it's here.
Kyouko: Which means...
Me: Great.

The new motive was money. A BUNCH of money. 10 million dollars.
Wonder who would give in to greed.
I...Somehow feel that I know the answer.
Togami and Celeste said it's a small sum, and the others sweat dropped to the idea of killing for money.
And after Monokuma left, we tried to reassure each other.
There doesn't seem to be a problem...But...
Damn.
Hope my bad feeling isn't gonna come true.

The next day, I and Kyouko found Yamada was busy with the laptop. And we had to make a rule about it, so nobody would interfere.

What can I even do today?
When I got out of my room to eat, Kyouko spotted me and dragged me to the bath house, where Makoto and a hyper, white haired Taka were, next to the Laptop.

Me: What the hell is going on?
Taka: *hugging me* I have been reborn with the help of my Bro! I'm a new me!
Me: Y-You're crushing m-me...
Naegi: *drags Taka away* E-Excuse him. He saw Oowada through the laptop, thanks to Chihiro, so he uh...Became like this.
Kyouko: Don't go around doing whatever you feel like. It caused problems. And not just for me. For everyone.
Naegi: S-Sorry.
Me: Then get out of here. ASAP.
Naegi: O-Okay
Me: So troublesome...

Yamada did it again, the next day. Fantasising about the laptop and just...
Urgh.
No.
No more.
And now Taka is obsessed over the laptop too.
Could these guys be even more troublesome?

Also, Togami and Genocider came for breakfast together.

Togami: Don't bother asking why we arrived at the same time. The answer should be obvious.
Syo: I'll give you a hint. *blushes* I'm wearing red lingerie today!
Me: *spits out my cocoa* What the fuck?
Hina: I-I don't think anyone wanted to know.
Syo: Hold on a second! You...!
Me: Me...?
Syo: What's your top level, like 70-50-70? Like a flat plan, y'know? The hell are you trying to impress looking like that, with no shapes or curves at all? Clearly, not Byakuya-sama, right?!
Me: *sweat drops* You're...Freaking me out...
Sakura: If you lay a finger on Raven...I will show you no mercy!
Me: Th-Thanks, Sakura-chan. But really...I'm fine with myself, so you can't make me feel bad. Jokes on you, jelly.
Celeste: So what do you want? Surely you're not here to join us for breakfast.
Togami: *sits in front of me* Of course not. I came here to hear a story.
Me: Will you ask me nicely?
Togami: I'm surprised not even you bothered to tell me yet.
Me: *sighs* Sorry, but not here.
Togami: Why not?
Me: *glances at the camera* Too crowded.
Hiro: Up till now you haven't given a crap about anything and now you're all concerned? I don't buy it.
Togami: I've just made a decision. When we get out of here, I'm going to feed your body to the vultures.
Me: And I'd more than gladly contribute to others' well being *drags him out* How about we take a bath together? I'm wearing black lingerie. So much better.
Syo: WHAAAAAT NOW?!
--
Me: Okay...
Togami: What was that all about?
Me: If the Mastermind found out...Let's just say, we might be on the right track to get out of here. Or at least find out about the School.
Togami: Why did you keep it a secret then?
Me: Wasn't really a secret but...Since this room is one of the only ones without cameras...And since Hifumi already had problems with this place, well...We can't be spotted and...
Togami: You guys went here like fools way to many times and now you are worried of getting suspicious?
Me: ...Positive. It's pretty annoying when most of the people are retards. I'm sorry for not telling you.
Togami: It's not like you had time. You've been spending time with that gambler girl all this time.
Me: Have I been neglecting you? I apologize.
Togami: Tsk. So where is it?
Me: Here. Let's not touch it or anything. It's working on getting past any security barriers to find out about the school secrets.
Togami: Alter Ego...Huh.
Me: It's amazing.
Togami: If you're as compassionate about others as you claim to be, don't forget about others.
Me: . . . I'm sorry.

-

During, we gathered at the bath house.
The reason?
THE LAPTOP HAS BEEN STOLEN.
Shit.
And neither Yamada or Taka took it.
Kyouko was in the laundry room and I was with Byakuya in the Library.
Monokuma wasn't either.
So...Who else...?
Celeste?
And Byakuya blames everyone except for me and Kyouko as being traitors
And Yamada and Taka are pleading to get A.E. back.

The next morning, I and Kyouko, Naegi, Sakura and Hina waited for everyone at breakfast but...Everyone else was missing.
This smells of murder. Or plot.
So we decided to split up and find the others.
Since I was the slowest, Hina decided to come with me to the 3rd floor.
But when we went to the Rec room, Hina yelled, which made Makoto come.
In the Rec room, there was a hurt Celeste.
In a panic, I rushed over to her and started pampering her with attention, trying to make sure she's okay. Something isn't right and I know it.
I'll find out when we're alone.

Please don't make my suspicions come true.
