Ray gently placed the note on Stevie's desk and turned to leave.

"Ray..?"

He turned back around. Crap... Stevie was awake.

"Stevie, go back to sleep-"

"No." Stevie crossed her arms.

Ray sighed, rolling his eyes slightly,"You want me to hold you or something?"

"Mhm."

Ray reluctantly got into bed beside Stevie, taking his suit jacket off as he did. Stevie latched onto him and held on surprisingly tightly. Shit... His plan was ruined! He had everything set up and everything...

"Wit even is this?" Scott looked around the library.

"I'm sure it's nothing, just props." Jess assured him, looking over a knife.

That's when Kirari popped out of nowhere, giving them both a shock.

"Hey guys, what are you-"

When Jeff looked down, they were no longer holding the knife... They'd thrown it.

"J-jeff... What did you..." Scott covered his mouth.

Jeff bent down and ripped the knife our of Kirari.

"You tell anyone about this and you're dead." Jeff spat,"Now... Help me clean this up."

"R-right.." Scott nodded slowly.

***********************************

"Stevie!"

"Teri? What do you-"

"Hug!" Stevie fell to the ground as her friend hugged her,"Now, tell me what you were thinking about."

"The killing game.." Stevie sighed,"What would've happened if I didn't stop, Ray?"

"I would've been dead for sure." Terishi shook her head.

Earlier, Ray had confessed that the night Kirari died, he was planning to kill both Terishi and Kirari... But he woke Stevie and ended up cuddling her that night instead.

Well, after that, Jeff was executed and Akira locked herself in her room... Ash still snapped and ended up killing not only Yūrei but Akira as well. Why Akira? Well, Jeff was dead and Akira was the closest thing to Jeff... It seemed like a fair trade in her eyes.

Scott took a bullet for Sancia and still lived to tell the tale whilst Dimitri now rots in a prison cell. Ray went behind Stevie's back once more and paid the officers to keep Dimitri in jail, despite Stevie's best efforts.

"I also came to ask for your help." Terishi spoke up.

"Help?" Stevie raised a brow before she heard it.

"Ray! Gimme it back!" Scott demanded.

"You can't make me, Scotty!" Ray taunted.

"Ya bastard!"

"Can you both shut up?!" Jay yelled.

Stevie sighed," I'll handle it, don't worry.."
