Chapter Five | Age of Infinity

Time moves on.

Everyone stands there, discussing what they have found within the remnants of the new floor. Remnants is the appropriate word for it, for what you have found is merely what once existed. You came here, expecting a full building, but you were greeted instead by the sky that hangs over you, blocked by a grid of light that aims to be a prison for the people that remain.

What is the reason you are here? What is the reason for why everyone is here?

You watch as those still alive talk. You try to piece it together the same time they do. There is the matter of the treatment center that likely could have hosted sixteen people prior, though none of the machines are operable now. But, surely, this means they could have at one point been used.

Sixteen.

That brings everyone to the matter of the Neo Hope's Peak Academy records. There remains the fact that there was only one class listed, one of sixteen names, but not all sixteen of them are the names of the people gathered now. It speaks of a time fourteen years ago supposedly, of a world that you don't quite remember fully.

Fourteen years ago, something happened at Hope's Peak Academy to shut it down.

The class from fourteen years ago had been subjected to some kind of genetic treatment. This prevented them from aging, allowing them to be able to remain at a SHSL caliber forever. This was known as the Talent Preservation Program. They would be practically immortal, unable to die from natural causes.

However, practically does not mean completely. Fourteen of them had been kidnapped by the cult Agrippa, a cult that had hijacked the Neo Hope's Peak building, and an explosion had occurred, killing all of them except one who had managed to escape the incident.

Was it Agrippa then that had hijacked the building again and kidnapped all the students here?

The class roster from fourteen years ago has names that you recognize. They're almost all familiar names. These were people that once lived, you remind yourself.

“Izayoi Namiko was with us, wasn't she?”

How could that be? How could she exist with everyone here but be in a NHP roster from fourteen years ago? She was clearly a teenager up until the moment she died!

“The Talent Preservation Program.”

You remember what Kujou had mentioned prior to her death: that Izayoi was different from everyone here in some way, how most things wouldn't be able to kill her. That was the reason why she had to be killed in such a gruesome manner.

Perhaps without that... she wouldn't have been able to die at all. She had healed with no medical attention from that attack early on in the experience here after all.

Is she the one person who escaped then? The one person who managed to survive the incident fourteen years ago? Was she the person who went missing?

“What if she’s not the missing survivor but actually one of the two people who were never kidnapped at all?”

That's a possibility... No, you know that has to be right. The others might not know, but you know. You say that. You need them to know that.

“Why are you so sure?”

You're... not sure why you are. You don't know how to explain it. But you need them to believe you. You need them to!

Even if you can't explain it properly, it's still a definite possibility that cannot be discounted entirely. That theory opens up more possible avenues for discussions as well. If Izayoi was one of the people who never got kidnapped, then who was the other?

“The museum exhibits on the first floor probably correspond to the people from the old class, right?”

The fifteen rooms in the talent exhibition... you think back to them. They all may have been talent exhibits, but none of them matched the people here. Well, none of them except Izayoi. Hers must have been Exhibit ξ given how it even held her own voice recordings in there.

“That exhibit is weird.”

Though on the map feature on your bracelets, it was labeled as Exhibit ξ, in-person it had two doors: one door labeled ν or the other door labeled ξ. It was also twice as big as any other exhibit.

“What if that exhibit belonged to two different people?”

That... could be possible!

Was the person she shared it with then the other person who had escaped being kidnapped?

“That's not the only exhibit that's off. Look at Exhibit π.”

Exhibit π... the completely empty exhibit room.

“It's like... someone's trying to hide what it was for.”

That takes you back to the class roster from fourteen years ago. On that class roster, the names were all there, but all the talents had been blacked out entirely.

The obfuscated talent must be important somehow. You can feel it. Why else go through the effort to hide it twice in such deliberate ways?

Going through your own memory of people and everyone chipping in their own recollection of celebrities from years past, you puzzle everything together.

The one odd name out... Monroe Catrina Edna.

Who is Catrina Edna Monroe?

A foreigner if the name is anything to go by.

“If Izayoi was one of us but died still... maybe the other person who didn't get kidnapped is one of us?”

It demands a witch hunt. Is Catrina Edna Monroe a fake name? Or perhaps one of the people here among you was currently using a fake name? If Catrina is the real name, then the person must be a foreigner. This person must have a way to conceal their identity whilst here, but the talent they go by is likely true if they only took out evidence of it in the roster and the talent exhibition.

That's when your gaze is drawn to one person in particular.

“Is Rosalia van Llwewlyn actually Catrina Edna Monroe?”

It sounds a bit stupid at first. Rosalia is here as a hologram. What would be the purpose to a hologram to have a fake identity?

Yet, Rosalia replies affirmatively.

Rosalia van Llwewlyn is Catrina Edna Monroe.

She shows you herself via video call —her real corporeal form — on your bracelets. The room is shocked, and so are you. But you wonder more than that: why did she admit it so easily?

Is she the reason that you are here? She fields questions, and she reveals that because of the incident fourteen years ago, she would do anything to take back the lives of her original classmates— the lives that had been robbed by the explosion and by Agrippa. Izayoi had agreed to do it alongside her, and this has been in the planning for quite some time.

“Why aren't we in the Neo Hope's Peak records?”

Because, you find out, this class isn't a real Neo Hope's Peak class. The world feels like it has stopped for a moment, and you realize.

Were you put in this place at this time as just a means to help save the people from fourteen years ago?

How could that even be? How can the deaths of everyone here manage that? How can that stop what happened to the fourteen people fourteen years ago?

But don't you remember?

Time moves on.

You feel a sudden feeling of dread, and you press the two buttons to one of the bracelets.

00:00:03...

00:00:02...

00:00:01...

BOOM!!

The world before you explodes in a brilliant flash, and you feel reality warp and bend and collapse all around you.

Suddenly it makes sense why Rosalia admitted it so easily. She must have known that the timer would run out soon, that everyone was going to go up in the explosion too. Yet, why does she look sad that this all happened?

Hadn’t this all been a part of her so-called grand plan?

Her plan that remained fixated on the past that she would destroy the present for it. A past that would be made into a new future if things had gone properly.

Fourteen years ago. A class of students had been subjected to the Talent Preservation Program. Fourteen of them had been trapped. An explosion occurred. All but one of them died. One of them somehow escaped.

These facts are all true.

As you drift through all your memories right up until the death of everyone, you realize yet another truth:

This story isn’t finished yet.

Because you are still trapped in the infinity loop.

see u on a dark night | shoko | trial v.i

After some time, Shoko clears her throat somewhat shakily.

“I… namely investigated the laboratory. There was a whole lot of stuff in there, but namely, the most important thing there was this… serum.”

“Our AI pal confirmed the contents of it for me. Basically, it’s a serum that grants immortality. People who take it can still be killed via traditional methods, but things like old age and illness are impossible.”

“According to him, it’s a ‘serum that inspires tragedy’… whatever that means. Though that does lead me to my next theory.”

“I… admittedly don’t have much to base this off of. Or, well, I do, but not any logic behind it or reason… but I think it’s likely that we might have ingested this immortality elixir, or whatever.”

“This Neo Hope’s Peak… that’s what we all signed up here for, right? We all thought we would be students at Hope’s Peak. And here, we found that… Neo Hope’s Peak was shut down. But I don’t remember that happening.”

“Furthermore, it was discovered that they planned on using this elixir on us, anyway. So… uh.”

Shoko clears her throat.

“That’s the long of the short of it, I suppose. That I think we just… somehow forgot everything that happened, and now we’re here. Immortal. Maybe they put us here to be killed, I don’t know, since we can’t die by any other means…”

She shrugs a bit helplessly.

Little Things That Add Up || Fumi || Chapter 5 || MM Trial || Re: Rosalia

It’s always the little things that matter in the end, just like how a puzzle requires all pieces to be complete. Little things that make all the difference, little things that shouldn’t be overlooked.

To find out why they are here was the assigned objective, and for such a purpose he would put his best efforts towards. As if he hasn’t already been doing that throughout the duration of the killing game.

The rest of the group seemed to have gathered in during his investigation. So while he had planned on discussing info with the others, that wouldn’t be until his search was complete. Until Rosalia spoke up, recounting her investigations in the treatment center.

“I’ve been here in the break room for a while and found some Neo Hope’s Peak records from about 14 years ago. Apparently the class before us had taken part of some sort of program, one in order to prevent aging and preserve their talents.”

“According to the class roster I found, the number of students matches up with the number pods you found. So I think it might be safe to say that the program those 16 took part in happened there.”

He begins to tense up at the thought of them.

“There’s more I want to touch upon but for now I want to hear about what the rest have discovered.”

[undyingxiv]

The beginning of the end | Rosalia | Chapter 5 | MM Trial | ATTN: All

Investigate as they might, they eventually had to reconvene to discuss what everyone has found.

As Rosalia entered the break room, she saw that the remaining survivors were here at the moment. Now was as good as any time to ask the others about their findings - and share what she has found herself.

As she has already shown her face to her classmates, Rosalia decided to keep her helmet off - yet the armor stays. Then again, it would be a waste of time to shed her entire armor while they were supposed to investigate, no?

“Pray tell, what hath doth found in those other rooms?”

Despite everything, she still likes to speak like that, huh?

”I hath inspected the treatment center thoroughly myself. Sixteen treatment pods are the main piece of said room, though they hath seen better days for sure. Glasses were shattered and a layer of dust is covering those pods - though it does seemeth as if someone took the precaution to remove any glass shards recently.”

“While there were status screens and buttons present, none of them were functional. ‘Tis strange, given that electricity doth seem to runneth through this facility in some capacity.”

“… Also, ‘tis nothing new, but as I was inspecting the walls within, a part of it gave away and revealed that guns were stationed behind them. I cannot fathom just how many of them are here… Quite concerning, but as I said, nothing new, given how… he was punished.”

One of Rosalia’s hands was placed on top of her chest armor and she looked down solemnly. It felt like so long ago, even though they’ve been here for not even two whole weeks. Strange how time seems to flow sometimes, huh?

BREAK!! | The Beginning of the End

Hey there! It's been quite a while since one of these informational posts, hasn't it?

Regardless of if you're new to DR OC RP or if this is your fiftieth group, you might find our system for this next phase a bit different. This phase shall have a lot less structure to it than a normal group might.

First things first, investigation of the new area will be conducted via a private channel in the Discord server. Each game will have their own separate one. When investigating, say which room you wish to enter, and the moderator(s) will post a text blurb explaining what's there at a glance.

Should your character wish to examine anything further, please bold what you are investigating and ping your respective game's mod. They will try and get to you as soon as possible.

There is no formal 'Mastermind Trial' and thus there shall be no voting or even a need to return to the trial room, though everyone's characters most certainly can. However, after all the locations have been investigated, any and all IC posts will be submitted to your respective game blog much like how trials operate. This shall be your opportunity for your characters to discuss with one another why they think they've all been brought here to Neo Hope's Peak under these circumstances. Once they reach their answer, something will occur.

Posts can be submitted at any point after you feel as if your character has finished investigating.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Thank you for your continued interest in Exaivi!

Chapter 4 | Manhunt

The video fades before it switches off entirely, its end signaling Daichi's return.

“...As stated prior, the killing game has ended. Unfortunately, this does not mean you are all authorized to leave the premises.”

What? All of that only to have the rug pulled out from underneath you?

Before anyone can protest, Daichi continues.

“This is not quite the end yet. I have now been given permission to unlock a new level for you all. Take the elevator there immediately, and I shall transfer you all there. There... you should be able to find out the truth as to why you are here.”

He hesitates, but you hear the elevator doors slide open, beckoning you all in.

“I... In the event that I am unable to be able to say this later, I wish to reiterate how much I regret that this is how things turned out. This isn't how things should have gone... After all this time... And yet...”

“...Whatever catharsis you all can find, I accept the terms you choose. That... That much... No... I just hope this never happens ever again. I know I am not programmed to have express desires, but... I apologize, for time has made me selfish enough to wish for that.”

He disappears then, and you are struck by how in this stammering response, no matter how you feel about it, Daichi has sounded the closest to human he ever has.

There is a bit of strangeness to it, but you can do little else than watch as everyone still alive piles into the elevator and lifts up, whisked away to somewhere else.

When the doors open again and everyone steps out, you are greeted by a sight that shouldn't be, yet it is...

Chapter 4 | Black and White and Red All Over

(tw: blood, stabbing)

The camera focuses in on a dark alleyway. At first you think it's too dark for you to see Akemi, but upon further inspection you realize that she's not even there. Is this some sort of mistake? Or was she somehow able to escape her own execution?

The camera then zooms in on a flier taped to the side of one of the buildings in the alleyway. It appears to be a missing poster with a photograph of someone on it. No, not just anybody, it's a picture of Akemi. But what is she doing on a missing persons poster?

Something seems incredibly strange about the poster, though. The image of Akemi isn't staying still, in fact you can clearly see her banging her fists up against the poster, as if she was pounding on a glass window in front of her. But what you're looking at clearly isn't a glass window. After all, the photo itself is in black and white and Akemi would have to have been shrunk down quite a bit to fit within the frame of a photo like that. The photo doesn't look like a screen, either, so it can't be a video broadcast or a GIF. What you're looking at, as hard as it is to believe, is a moving image on paper.

After a few moments she gives up on her plan of trying to break out of the poster and instead moves completely out of frame. Now the poster just displays an empty black box where Akemi's face had once been. The camera starts panning to the right as you see a whole line of different posters plastered across the walls of the alley. You see a vague blur of movement move across one of the posters, but then it's gone. Then another moment you see it on another poster, but then gone again. As the camera zooms in on these other posters you realize that Akemi appears to be hopping from photo to photo on these posters. Most of them are advertisements or other missing persons posters. In these, it seems like she's mostly running past whatever is displayed on the posters in the background.

However, things go awry when Akemi jumps into a poster advertising an upcoming pool party. Instead of just quickly jumping in and out of this photo, instead she launches herself right into the pool featured in the photo, splashing water everywhere. With some dignity lost, she crawls up and out of the pool, now soaking wet and probably smelling strongly of chlorine. But still, she appears to have no injuries and it's just a minor distraction in the grand scheme of things.

Onwards she continues, hopping from poster to poster in her endless quest towards the right but she once again encounters another problem when she jumps into a missing dog poster. The once still image of the dog sparks to life as the large canine bursts to life, full of energy, as it begins to chase after Akemi. She tries in vain to leap out of the poster and into another one to escape the dog, but for the first time she's being followed. The dog leaps out of its own missing poster into a poster about a yard sale where it chases her across the yard, knocking over various tables full of all sorts of knick knacks that nobody would realistically even want to buy. Then they jump into a poster about an upcoming concert, where Akemi runs across the stage as she's chased by the dog.

Finally she leaps into a poster and to her surprise, the dog doesn't follow her. In fact, the dog begins running away in the opposite direction once she jumps into the new poster. At first she's confused as to why the dog stopped chasing her. But when she turns around it all becomes clear.

A dark figure looms over her brandishing a machete, and before she can do anything to stop them, they plunge the large blade right into her chest. Covered in blood, she slumps to the ground as the mysterious figure walks away laughing. The camera zooms out revealing that the poster was a wanted poster for a loose serial killer.

Akemi Kujou, the Super High School Level Editor, has been executed.

[undyingxiv]

Chapter 4 | The Hands of Time

“...Excuse me, but our time has been cut short. I apologize, but that's all we can do for goodbyes now.”

When Daichi returns, he appears to have calmed a little since his hysterics. Have you? The tumult of the trial still rings in your ears even as your holographic tour guide intervenes.

Just as you predict, the floor from underneath Akemi's feet is taken out, and she plummets into the darkness just as Ginjirou, Kiaria, and Mahiro had before her. The floor tile slides and locks back into place neatly, creating the image that the floor has always and still is whole even though you know better.

“A-As always, the video feed of Kujou-san's execution shall be played live on your bracelet. I am sure you can surmise what I shall say next, but... I promise you this is the last time I, as I exist in my current state, shall say it to everyone standing here...”

“Look away if you must, but please do not forget what death does… to truly survive is to face the reality that lies before you, lest you let this happen again.”

[undyingxiv]

Colors and Electricity || Fumi || Vierthea 4 || Re: That doesn't matter

Fumi continues to wait for Akemi’s reply to his offer. His measly attempt of an outstretched hand is left waiting. Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

“A-AKEMI KUJOU KILLED NAMIKO IZAYOI! She did it! Sh—”

Ah they were right I suppose. A bit of relief, at least until the room started to devolve, his classmates speaking out one by one. They were getting heated, for what? Fumi had to take a step back from it all, propping his head between his hands, shielding his face away from the current discussion. But he could still hear.

"Just.  Fucking. Shut up. All of you. Why can’t we be, wait no, Why can’t we at least pretend to have some decency here? Is it really that hard to ask? What time is it now? 6/7 am? It’s too early for this and will always be too early for this."

"Sort yourselves out on your own time instead of fucking exploding on each other. This is all going to end soon anyways so I don’t see the point of even starting this kind of thing now. If you wanted to go apeshitt you should’ve done so from the beginning."

He already said something like that already didn’t he?

"I absolutely hate Namiko’s guts, for my own separate reasons, and honestly she can go rot or do fucking whatever where she is now. So hearing her being called a “good person” really gets on my nerves."

The two’s animosity towards each other was an inevitable occurrence. Their world views clashed in every possible way. Which gave way to petty words and petty actions, on both sides, none of which he regretted. Even if she lived, Fumi knew that they would never meet, and fuck that too. That’s arguably the worst possible outcome.  Despite all of that.

"Still, I’m not going to say she deserved to die or that I’m glad that she’s dead. Mahiro too, hated that guy and especially what he said at the end in relation to me. Hell I’m still heated over that, but you all saw me during that trial. But did you see me behave like how you are all acting now? No. I dealt with it and let him die in peace, as you should with anyone else who died here."

"I don’t have an obligation to care for anything that any of you are saying anywhere in the school except this room, so make what you say here worth it."

"..."

"God we all need therapy."

Cooldown | Raya Lukova | Vierthea 4 | RE: Shoko

Raya pinched the bridge of her nose, going to yell again when she saw Shoko's expression. She froze, blinking a few times as the anger was sapped out of her like an open ballon. Honestly fuck this killing game for giving her the drawback of emotions. It was so much easier to just cuss people out and feel no repercussions or guilt. She took a long and slow breath, letting it out in a sigh, before staring at Shoko and propping her book up.

[ I apologised to Namiko in a private conversation. The conversation that we had where I shared my story. I know I'm not a good person, and at this point I know that I'm irredeemable. I'm not trying to play the victim, just the truth. I was born and raised from hatred, and by the time I figured out that there was the possibility that I could do something to better myself, it was too late. The only person I think could have fixed me is dead, and there's nothing that'll change that. I don't want to come across as guilt trippy with that, but it's just what I believe. Konan is dead. I'm never going to get someone like that back. ]

[ ... We had a similar past, her and I. The difference is that I didn't use that against her afterwards. I will admit that she wasn't entirely horrible, but we still can't ignore the horrible things she said, much like we can't ignore what I said either. I think we're all just kinda shitty. ]

[ in the trial, I was... trying to joke. I haven't had friends in my life and god knows I have no fucking clue how empathy, and I was trying to joke with her. Being kind to her annoyed her before, so I tried insult humour and it didn't work. ] She curled a lock of hair around her finger, visibly embarrassed at admitting her complete lack of understanding of social norms.

[ ... but you're right. I just saw the hurt I felt and didn't see the person behind it. I guess the hypocrite was me after all. I won't discredit her anymore. Thank you for acknowledging what she put me through. that's all I wanted. All I ask is that we show some respect to Akemi before she goes, just like we did for Ginjirou and Mahiro. That's all. I don't care what happens afterwards. ]

[ ... and I'm sorry. My emotions are something I can't quite put into words, but I lashed out at people instead of dealing with them healthily. I am sorry for the hurt that I've caused, and I'm sorry for exploding just now. Akemi just means a lot to me and it set something off in my head. ] She curled her tongue, going silent for a while.

[ never make me have to write seriously again honestly fuck you guys for making me have to feel guilty for doing bad things. ] Another long pause. [ this is a joke please don't take it seriously. ] She dragged her hands down her face.

"... Maybe after t-this I ca-an g-g-get like. T-Therapy. That'd-d prob-b-bably be n-nice, and S-Stella can't stop me this t-time." She gave a shaky thumbs up. "I... D-Don't ex-xpect forg-giveness, b-by the way. W-What I sa-aid was w-w-way out o-of line."

"But I'm n-not sorry-y for defending-g Akemi. She's... A g-good person."

shoko dialogues about that one dead girl she empathized with [ asmr ] | shoko | vierthea iv.i

"...really? This was all to protect Raya?"

Shoko's fists clench as she breathes in deeply, trying to center herself. She's really, really tired of being angry, of being upset. For all her life, she thought it was so much scarier to be mean than it was to be kind, that it was harder to hate than it was to be friends (unless you were making money off of it, of course).

But dammit, it's tiring when you're in an environment where nothing's working for you. She can't keep going like this, not really. 

"Nami-chan was a good person, who really wanted the best for people that she cared about. Sure, she didn't get along with a lot of people here, and a bunch of mean things were said, but..."

"You talk about her as if she didn't have any weight on her shoulders. You paint her like some mindless mean machine while you're just poor people trying to protect yourselves, that your cruel words towards her were justifiable because you have pressure on your shoulders, because you had a hard life."

"I'm sure that's true. I don't doubt that the people who are here are people who have only been able to achieve what they have because of painful things that have happened to them."

"But why... why was Nami-chan suddenly exempt from that? Because you just didn't like her? Because she didn't get along with you? Because she insulted how you look, Raya-chan? Because I said she was prettier right after you, yourself, called her, and I quote, 'a dusty crusty wh--'" 

Shoko's voice cracks, and she pauses, covering her face for a moment as she shudders before straightening her back.

"All you've done is insult everyone here and then justify it with how hurt you feel. You're so caught up in your own hurt that you don't realize what you're doing to others."

"You like to swear a lot and act better than everyone else because if you just say things like 'wow you missed the entire point', then that justifies what you've done. You say things like 'I know I'm so horrible so throw abuse at me' and then act like the victim over and over. If you would at least acknowledge how cruel you are, how what has happened to you with your interactions with others is a result of how you have treated them."

"I'm sure... Nami-chan hurt you. I don't disbelieve you. You both threw barbed words at each other, particularly in the last trial."

"But right now, Nami-chan is dead. You're alive. Akemi-chan's alive, too, if not for long. If you could just let Nami-chan rest-- was her being eaten by a damn shark so she doesn't even have a body left not enough for you?"

"You make me tired, Raya."

Eat and Choke | Raya Lukova | Vierthea 4 | RE: Rosalia

[ wow nice job literally missing the entire fucking point. so many words and so little content. ]

She clapped, a slow and sarcastic one as she glared. There was a moment of silence as she wrote before she stood her ground again.

[ damn fucking right I’m biased. am I going to be biased towards someone who has literally done nothing up until the murder or someone who made me feel insignificant and stupid…….. idk guys it’s a hard choice….. did you literally skip over the part where I said that the murder was Fucked Up and I wasn’t defending it ? because you seem to be latching onto the murder being gruesome and you…. have nothing else. literally. ]

[ tw for mention of eye trauma]

[ I’ll give you a deal, Rosalia. if you can name ONE thing other than this murder that Akemi has done to deserve literal actual death, I will gladly shove this pen right through my eye socket. im not fucking joking. name ONE thing that she has done to hurt any of you idiots until this murder. ]

[ see, notice how even after I literally told you ‘hey Namiko literally abused me and used my trauma to hurt me’, you’re still? glossing over that? you’re not talking about it? just say you don’t care and go, don’t try to make it seem like you would have cared if you had known. if Shoko wanted to just break up the fight she wouldn’t have called Namiko prettier. like my boyfriend had literally died and people were calling the person who was mocking me when I was in mourning prettier. how is that just breaking up a fight that I didn’t even start?? ]

[ mother fucker when have I ever claimed to be a good person. i know I’m an asshole. at what point have I claimed to be an angel. but i think that even i don’t deserve to be treated like that when I was trying to learn to be kinder? ]

[ let’s be real with ourselves here. if i or Akemi had died and Namiko was the culprit, none of you would have this energy besides Fumi. and don’t you fucking use him against me. ]

[ also konan literally got his head blown out by a gun and y'all didn’t have any energy for that! his head was a fucking crater. where was this speech when Mahiro was revealed as his killer? mother fucker the hypocrisy is PALPABLE. ]

[ I don’t think that it is a FUCKING BIG TASK for you to BE KIND to Akemi for FIVE MOTHER FUCKING SECONDS. she KNOWS it was fucked up, nobody here is defending the MURDER. im defending her as a person because you’re so god damn eager to forget everything she’s done for us up until this fucking point. ]

[ AND THE PERSON THAT WE WERE SO WILLING TO SACRIFICE WAS ME YOU FUCKING CLOWN. I only found out Akemi did it when I was doing the handwriting test and i was going to incriminate myself, but then your whole shit happened and we lost that opportunity. ]

She took a deep breath, calming her nerves and screwing her hands into fists. Raya slowly started to calm herself down, finally moving up one more message.

[ i don’t want her to die feeling like this. please just be kind to her. you can hurl all the abuse you want at me, god knows I deserve it with all the horrible things I’ve said. but not her. please just give her some form of comfort. please. I don’t want her to have to die feeling alone. it should have been me and I don’t want her to have to suffer anymore. ]
