The exisals stood in front of us as we stood there, completely helpless. Kaede walked up to me and put one of her music note hairclips in my hand. "You have Rantaro's necklace, right?" She said. "You can have my hairclip." I covered my mouth to stifle the sobs. "Y/N, it's okay."

"ITS PUNISHMENT TIME!" Monokuma yelled as he pressed this large button that appeared in front of him. The exisals stood in front of us as Kaede got pulled up by this strange mechanism that latched around her neck.

"KAEDE!" I screamed as I tried to step forward, but the exisals stopped me. We all watch as Kaede was dropped onto a large piano, something latched around her neck. The Monokubs pulled on the rope as she began moving left and right, playing an individual note on the large piano.

I saw her face go purple from lack of oxygen and turned around. Kokichi put his hand on my shoulder, and when I looked at him, I noticed he was on the brink of tears. Real ones. I held Kaede's clip firmly in my folded hands. I heard the music stop but I was too scared to turn around. That intuition was right because the next thing I heard was... BANG.

I heard a splatter from behind me and my eyes widened. I pinched myself over and over, praying that it was a dream. I turned around and saw the blood splattered all over the room. "Shuichi!" I exclaimed when Shuichi fell to his knees. I shoved Kaede's clip in my pocket and knelt down beside him.

"Y-you're..." He began. "You're just like her... selfless." I put my hand on Shuichi's back and looked around. Half the room was crying, and the other half may as well had been. I sighed and looked up. "Why are you doing this?" Kirumi asked Monokuma.

"Well, the corpse known as Rantaro may have had a hunch." Monokuma answered. "But it's not my fault he was useless! He died before his ultimate talent was revealed." I got up, ready to attack Monokuma when someone held me back. I turned around and it was Kokichi. "I don't want to lose you, too." He told me, just loud enough for only me to hear.

Suddenly, I hear a slap from behind me. I see Shuichi on the floor and Kaito in front of him. "Clench your teeth!" Kaito yelled. "Kaito, you're supposed to say that before you hit him!" K1-B0 scolded. "Did you hear what Kaede said? She said she believed in you!" Kaito yelled. "She passed her wish onto you! What the heck's wrong with you? You didn't say a damn thing to Monokuma. You call yourself a man?"

"Kaito, that's enough." Kirumi said. I walked away. "Where are you going?" I turned to Kaito. "I wanna see Kaede's research lab again. Just to... I don't know... calm me down." I went to her research lab and sat in the chair Kaede sat in when she played "The River Flows in You". I sat on the ground, where I fell asleep to the beautiful song. "Hey Y/N." Shuichi greeted. He looked around. "Remember when you fell asleep here?" He reminisced. I nodded and looked on the CD shelf.

Shuichi reached out for a song Kaede always mentioned and put it in the CD player. We listened to it and imagined Kaede, sitting on that piano playing the song. I took out Kaede's hairclip and traced my thumb over it. "Don't worry Kaede." I whispered. "We'll get everyone outta here."
