Shuichi's POV
It's been 2 days since our last meeting with Mr. Takashi. On that day, I had confessed my, Himiko and Maki's secret.

Ever since that moment no one had talked to each other. We rarely left our rooms. The only time we did was for food when the employees would not bring it to us and for our daily routines.

If we did cross each other, no one could look the other in the eye. How could we? We can't trust each other to not keep secrets or to not tell the secrets we shouldn't. They can't trust me because I didn't tell them everything and I can't trust them to react appropriately.

Shuichi's POV

We received the news a few hours ago that Miu will make a full recovery and will be able to see us again within the week. It is good news in general but I'm not sure how I feel about it. What if she tries committing Suicide again? We were lucky that she had some hesitation last time. If she tries again, we may not be as fortunate.

As for Kokichi, he was found unconscious by the foot of the medical wing. They say it's from stress and exhaustion but I know something is not right about that. What he was able to do that night.

Flashback:

" K-Kirumi!" Kokichi grunted

" Kokichi, I need you to calm down!" Kirumi told him.

" No! He needs to let me through!" Kokichi screamed. Kodaka looked at the scene but didn't react.

I saw Angie, drawing on a piece of paper as he eyes turned golden.

" Angie?" I asked her.

" MiraiMiraiMiraiMiraiMiraiMiraiMirai-"
( FutureFutureFutureFutureFuture) she continued to say as she drew.

" A-Angie? What are drawing?" I asked her.

Angie's eyes continued to glow and she did not stop. " ANGIE!" I screamed at her.

" I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE!" She yelled holding up a small sketch.

" Angie, what is that~" Kiyo asked her.

The sketch was a drawing of what looked like Kokichi screaming with a weird echo as the rest of us stood still.

" What is- " LET ME GO!" Kokichi screamed cutting my question short.

" I cannot do that!" Kirumi screamed at him.

" I SAID! LET ME GO!" Kokichi screamed as his eyes glowed purple. His voice echoed throughout the area.

As he screamed, it felt like time stopped. No one dared move a muscle. It was as if, we couldn't. Kokichi got up and walked past Kodaka towards Miu. When Kokichi was through the doors. We could all move again.

Flashback End
What was that? That glow, in his, Kirumi and Angie's eyes. It seemed inhuman. Angie being able to sketch out the future, Kirumi moving at superhuman mobility when Ryoma ordered her too, and Kokichi, being able to get what he wants just by ordering it.

Nothing makes sense anymore. It's like the longer we stay here, the more divided we become.

Eventually realizing that I had nothing to do, I wandered the dark halls of the studio.

As I walked by, I remembered what happened the day I had first arrived here.

Flashback

" WHERE THE HELL AM I?!" I screamed.

I try my best to sit up but I find myself strapped. Confined to nothing but a plank.

I continue to pull against the straps with my wrists and feet.

" FUCK!" I screamed starting to lose hope.

Wait. Hope? It finally dawned on me where I am.

" No... NONONONONONO!" I screamed desperately trying to escape. Not here! Anywhere but here!

" LET ME GO! PLEASE!" I begged. " I DID WHAT YOU WANTED!" I screamed.

" I PLAYED THE GAME!"
" I SURVIVED THE GAME!"
" LET ME GO!"
" PLEASE!"

Mine pleads announced to nothing. No one came. No one freed me.

I felt it again. I felt like a prisoner. A prisoner of hell.

" Haha.." " Hahaha" " HAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed like a maniac. " GUESS YOU WERE RIGHT KOKICHI!" I said to no one. " THIS IS HELL"

I continued to laugh and cry at the same time. I want freedom. I want to be free.

Then, I got a glance at what might've been hope for me. People came into the room I was locked in. However, horror-struck my face as I realized who they were.

3 people who appeared to be a tall bulky man, a short statued kid and a woman with short black hair came into the room.

They all wearing masks. I recognize that mask as I recognize my own hand. It was a mask with 2 colours on different sides. One side black, one side white. The white side had a toothless smile with a cute bear face. The black side had a more sinister appearance with a tooth filled smile and a red lightning bolt over its right eye.

I started to shake and quiver.

The talk bulky man came behind and elevated the board so I would be vertical.

" Nonononono," I said starting to fear for my life. The man pushed me along as the woman touched my chest seductively. The small one skipped like a child.

" Where are you taking me?! What do want?" I asked panicked. The continued to walk.

It felt like an eternity as they pushed me down the hallway.

Suddenly they spoke.

" Despair~ Despair~ Come on let's fee despair~"

They didn't stop. I eventually began to scream and shout.

Flashback end

At that moment I would've done anything to see them again. Now, I don't even know.
