Stevie hummed as she washed dishes, dinner had just passed and she was alone in the kitchen.

After discussing what they found, the pool, the library, the letter... Stevie had decided to calm everything down by cooking for everyone! Kira had helped her make a pizza with Monoyagi joining in every now and again to throw on more cheese or try to add pineapple slices.

The pizza was served without incident and that brought Stevie to now, washing the dishes by herself. Although Stevie felt warm as she closed her eyes and thought about those happy memories, like she wasn't trapped in a Killing Game.

Stevie opened her eyes and looked around... A pitch black room... What was going on?

Why haven't you stopped this yet? Why haven't you freed them yet?

"W-what?" Stevie blinked,"Who's there?!"

Who? Aw, Stevie, you know me! Haven't you missed me?

Stevie shuddered as the voice echoed in her head. She'd had... Bad thoughts before but it had been years since she'd been in a situation anything like this.

You. You're weak. You're next. They always pick off the weak ones first Stevie. First little Dawn and now you. You're going to die.

"No! Nobody's going to kill anyone anymore!" Stevie quickly shook her head,"We're all going to escape together!"

The dark room filled with laughter.

Is that what you believe Stevie? How naive. You're never going to escape. You'll be trapped here forever.

"People will come looking for us." Stevie pointed.

Oh Stevie... Who would come looking for you? Tell me, who cares? You can't think that little boyfriend of yours will help.

Stevie fell silent, she had no response for the voice. Hang on...

"Wait, I don't have a boyfriend." Stevie shook her head.

Sure, nothing was official but you liked that boy. He found you. You trusted him. Where is he now?

"J-just leave me alone!" Stevie covered her ears.

"Stevie?"

Stevie quickly looked up... She was in the kitchen again, a shattered plate at her feet. She must've dropped it.

"Jeez, you scared me."

Stevie looked to her side. Teri. She was relieved at the sight of her best friend.

"Now, what happened?" Teri asked, rubbed her arm,"I came in to check on you since Monoyagi came to my dorm saying you hadn't moved and you were muttering-"

"Wait, slow down... Monoyagi?" Stevie blinked.

"Yes, me!" Monoyagi tugged on Steve's skirt,"I lock up the kitchen at night, remember? I tried to get you to leave since you've been washing dishes forever and I thought you were broken so I got Masky."

Terishi rolled her eyes at Monoyagi's nickname,"Well, there's only one thing to so now."

"What?" Stevie asked her.

Teri scooped up Stevie and began walking. With no time to object, Stevie was being carried back to her dorm and being thrown onto her bed.

"Teri!" Stevie held her head, landing on the bed.

Stevie, of course, tried to protest but Teri ignored her. Instead, her friend threw blankets and pillows at her. Stevie was soon overwhelmed and curled into the cozy nest Teri had created.

Teri removed her shoes and sat beside Stevie on the bed, rubbing her back,"You can talk to me Stevie, remember?"

Stevie nodded slowly before being jumped on by Monoyagi.

"What the-"

"Feel better!" Monoyagi yelled.

"Why is it so attached to you?" Teri questioner.

"I want a mama.' Monoyagi clung to Stevie,"This is my mama."

Stevie sighed softly as she tried drifting off to sleep. She... Surprisingly didn't mind this. She was used to being a caregiver, after all.
