He was waiting for Kaito to return to the hangar. He had to keep watch around it, make sure no one else came by. They couldn’t risk getting caught with this plan- it was risky enough as is.
They needed another body for the plan to actually work. Someone needed to go into the press, and Kaito refused to Kokichi’s original plan. So this- this was what they came up with instead.
It was risky. Going out to get someone else’s body was almost too risky. But that’s just something they had to take a chance on- and it was better than both of them dying, right?
If it failed, Monokuma shouldn’t be able to do anything to them. He shouldn’t even be able to do anything to the others for voting wrong either- especially because the person who was going to be in the hydraulic press died in a previous case. The true blackened was already found. All that mattered was if the mastermind didn’t know. That’s the goal here- to give an unfair trial and (hopefully) put an end to the killing game.
It was stressful, waiting for Kaito to get back. What if he got caught? What if he took too long, and time ran out?
It was like a weight was lifted when Kokichi saw him return- walking up to the doors of the hangar.
“Well, took you long enough! We’re on a tight schedule you know!”
