Continuing from the daily life...

Kirari got the pancake batter out of the fridge and started making pancakes. She made two batches, one with chocolate chips and one without.

"This would've been much faster if someone helped." She thought grumpily.

That's when she decided to go find Stevie, she might want to help set the table. Kirari walked up to Stevie's door, hesitated and knocked.

"Stevie? Are you in there?" She called.

"No."

"Judging from the fact that you answered, I'll take that as a yes.

"Damn, you know me so well." Stevie opened the door.

"I came to ask if you wanted to help me set the table." Kirari explained.

"Of course!" Stevie nodded.

"Let's go then, I just finished with the pancakes!" Kirari smiled.

Stevie smiled, skipping out and towards the kitchen. Kirari followed her, happy to not be doing it alone.

"And... Here we are!" Stevie entered.

Jay, of course, was still asleep in their dorm with the door locked. That's when they heard a soft knock on their door. Jay peeked an eye open and made a loud snoring noise.

"Wow, I wonder if Jay is sleeping." Terishi rolled her eyes, speaking sarcastically.

Ash emerged from her room, yawning after her nice nap. She started walking down the hall to find some of her friends. She made her way down to the kitchen, hearing voices.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Ray decided to take a nap but it was extremely restless. His dreams were filled with enemy gangs taking over his gang without his command and his little sister getting hurt. Ray bolted awake with a massive headache.

"Fuck..." Ray sighed, shaking away the thoughts before getting out of bed.

"Knock knock!" He heard a familiar voice call.

"Come in." Ray replied, clutching his head.

"I'm here." Akira skipped in.

"Good for you." Ray growled.

"How was the nap?" Akira hummed, sitting on his dresser.

"Terrible." He hissed.

"Wanna tell me about it?" Akira asked.

"Not really." Ray sighed.

"Well, you can have my company." Akira shrugged.

Ray sighed, his head continuing to hurt,"We should probably head out."

"Fine." Akira nodded.

Ray entered with Akira, murmuring something about enemy gangs, a devil drool teddy bear and his mental health.

"Aaaand I'mma act like I didn't hear that." Kirari thought before speaking,"Hi Ray, Akira! Wanna help set the table as well?"

"Ooh, yes!" Akira nodded quickly.

"Do I want to? No. Will I anyway? Yes." Ray sighed, taking out plates.

Kirari began to set out plates while Ray set out the knives and forks. Kirari then put napkins on the tables as Stevie began setting out glasses. That's when Kirari opened the fridge and took out the carten of orange juice.

"Who's gonna be eating this anyway?" Ray asked.

She shrugged,"Whoever comes to breakfast."

"Me." Akira raised her hand.

"Ah." Ray sighed before turning to Kirari,"Hey, can I talk with you for a moment?"

"Sure." She nodded, walking with him to a corner.

"Look, I know you like Ash and shit- Don't deny it, just don't let it influence your actions. If she dies, I don't want you killing out of rage." Ray explained to her quietly.

"Haha, I'm the one more likely to be killed. You don't have to worry." Kirari shook her head,"If I tried to kill someone, they'd end up killing me."

"I'm just saying, keep my words in mind." Ray murmured, walking off.

"I will." Kirari nodded, turning to the others,"So, who wants food?"

"I do." Akira hummed.

"Well, there's oatmeal and pancakes." Kirari told her,"Take your pick."

"Pancakes." Akira stood up.

"Alright!" Kirari passed the plate to Akira.

"Thanks!" Akira thanked her as Stevie sat beside her.

All of a sudden, Kirari heard someone approach and turned,"Hi, Ash!"

"Oh, hey Kirari." Ash called, stepping into the room and being immediately confronted with the smell of pancakes,"Mmm, they smell good!"

"They are." Akira told her.

"You should try one." Kirari suggested as she passed the plate to Ash, blushing as their fingers made contact.

Ash blushed too, taking a pancake and biting into it,"Thank you, they're really good!"

"Thank you, Ash! I made them." Kirari practically glowed.

"Look mama, they're flirting." Akira whispered to Stevie.

Ray backed away from the group, almost gagging at them as he murmured,"Three hours still isn't enough for this horse crap."

Kirari turned red,"I HEARD THAT!"

"Good." Akira crossed her arms.

"Hold the phone. Mama?" Stevie blinked.

Ash ignored Akira's comment and smiled instead as she finished her pancake,"Well, you must have worked really hard on them!"

Kirari's face felt like the sun,"T-thank you, Ash."

Daiko then wandered in, yawning and leaning against the wall.

"Hey, Dai." Ray waved.

"'Sup, Ray." Daiko waved back.

"How are you?" Ray asked.

"The usual, tired." He shrugged,"You?"

Ash made eyes contact with Kirari but quickly looked away, face flushing.

"Oh, hey Daiko." She spoke in a friendly manner.

Daiko nodded to her in acknowledgment as he walked closer to Ray.

"Terrible." Ray deadpanned.

"I found something interesting." He leaned up to him, whispering.

Ray raised a brow, whispering back,"I wasn't planning on eating anyway so let's dip."

Daiko nodded, skipping out of the kitchen with Ray.

"So, where and what?" Ray asked.

"Well, I found this bottle. Teri told me it was alcohol and hid it but..." Daiko smirked.

"Hmm." Ray thought.

"I found it again and it's in my room." Daiko pushed open the door.

Ray walked in, inspecting the place for traps before turning to the bottle,"So what do you propose it is? Alcohol or something more sinister?"

"I say, lemme drink it and find out." Daiko shrugged.

"I say we make someone else drink it. It could be poison after all." Ray pointed out.

"Who do you suggest?" Daiko rolled his eyes,"Besides, if it's poison, we're fucked."

"If it's poison, I'll chug it." Ray grinned.

"Not if I do it first." Daiko reached for the bottle.

Ray snatched it away,"I've gotten drunk before."

"And you think I haven't?" Daiko raised a brow.

"I've got an extremely high alcohol tolerance but ok, let's do shots at a time. Do you have any glasses?" Ray gave in.

"I do." Monokuma popped up.

"Care to join us, Monokuma?" Ray offered.

"Sorry, I'm not allowed." He shook his head.

"Not suspicious at all!" Ray laughed, grabbing a cup.

"Seems fine to me." Daiko shrugged, doing the same.

Ray poured some into both of their glasses,"A toast!"

"To our freedom." Daiko nodded, downing his.

"This is strong." Ray cackled.

"The stronger the better, makes ya forget." Daiko smirked.

"Assez juste." Ray nodded.

After breakfast, Kirari had decided to go for a walk. She stopped in her tracks, hearing Ray's maniacal laughter. She poked her head into the room and found quite the scene.

"I feel like I've heard something I shouldn't have." She spoke.

Ash followed after Kirari,"Mind if I join you?"

"Sure." Kirari turned to her.

Daiko giggled,"Another!"

"Que puis-je dire, l'alcool fait de la merde." Ray shrugged.

Daiko poured himself a second drink before sliding the bottle over to Ray.

"Hey Ash, let's walk the other way." Kirari said, thinking about how long it would take the boys to sober up.

Daiko downed it as well, already reaching for the bottle. Kirari cringed, internally screaming about the fact there were two drunk people. Ray let out another drunk cackle, seemingly planning something in his drunken state.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Daiko slurred.

"Ne vous inquiétez pas." Ray shook his head.

"Ugh, those two are gonna be such a pain." Kirari complained,"Do you know how I could get a person to sober up, Ash? Or should I just use cold water?"

"I'm not that drunk, dumbass.* Ray hissed.

"Ray, she's being mean." Daiko crossed his arms.

"I'm not being mean, I'm being realistic. I was annoying when I was drunk!" Kirari quickly responded.

"You were drugged, not drunk." Ray shot back.

"Kirari, let's get out of here. You two need to snap out of it!" She raised her voice at the boys, something she never really did before.

Daiko looked down,"I won't do it again."

"I'd know about drunk people being annoying. My cousin drank a lot! How do you think I knew about the cold water?" Kirari pointed.

"Kirari, there's no point." Ash said more urgently,"Let's just go."

"Ash, don't be mad, they're not in their right mind. Well, Daiko, anyway." Kirari spoke gently.

"I don't wanna bother you two.." Daiko looked away.

"Alright, I'm going, I'm going." Kirari walked off.

Ray rolled his eyes at the two girls.

"Ray, are they mad at me?" Daiko asked him.

"I'm sorry, Daiko. I didn't mean it. It's not really your fault." Ash spoke gently before she turned and followed Kirari, leaving the two in their drunken state.

"Don't worry about it. They're just sad that they aren't cool enough to find an alcohol bottle.

"Okay.." Daiko nodded slowly.

"Yo Dai, I'mma head back to my room so I don't do anything stupid in front of people and loose my reputation." Ray informed him, sauntering back to his room.

Ray went to his own form room and fell asleep, this time was a lot less uneasy.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

"I feel kinda bad now." Kirari told Ash,"I didn't mean to be rude, I just really don't like it when people are drunk."

"Yeah, me too..." She sighed.

"Well then, shall we do something to take our minds off  it?" Kirari asked.

"Sure!" Ash agreed excitedly, happy to be doing something with Kirari,"Let's go back to the video room, that looks pretty cool!"

"Alright." Kirari nodded.

The pair headed to the video room, smiling as they entered together.

"So, we could play games here." Kirari suggested.

"I guess that's the point!" Ash laughed.

"What video games do you like?" Kirari asked.

"Um..." Ash trailed off, clearly embarrassed,"Would you judge me if I said Roblox?"

"Of course not! Do you like Gacha Life and Gacha Club?" She raised a brow.

"To be honest, I've heard of them... But never played them!" Ash admitted.

"They're really fun, you should try!" Kirari told her.

"We've got time now..." Ash started slowly, blushing a little,"Would you care to teach me?"

"Of course! So basically, you get to make characters and then you..." Kirari began explaining.

Ash listened intently as Kirari explained.

"And then in games, you can earn gems!" Kirari finished,"Phew, that was a lot."

"That sounds super fun, we should play it together!" Ash suggested.

"Sure!" Kirari nodded.

"Yay!" Ash exclaimed,"Let's go!"

Kirari headed to a computer and turned it on. Ash followed and sat down at the computer beside Kirari.

"So, what's the first boss?" She asked.

"Oh, it's not that kind of game! It might actually be a little boring to watch me play." Kirari admitted.

"Well, you could walk me through it." Ash suggested.

"First, I'm gonna make a character." Kirari made a tall girl with white eyes, light purple hair in a bun and round spectacles.

Ash watched carefully, studying each movement and decision made by Kirari. Kirari then noticed Ash looking at her and her face burned but she continued making the character.

Sancia spent all her time in the upstairs library. She hadn't bothered to come to breakfast, she was too afraid. It seemed like almost everyone had allied but she was left alone. Well, she, and a few others. The upstairs library was a lot quieter than most rooms but it still had an almost equal amount of shelves she could hide away in. Sancia longed for human interaction. She missed Koa, Alya and her family. Even though she desperately wanted to befriend the other students, her will to live and her paranoia was stronger.

"Pardon me, am I interrupting?"
