No, i can't just rest like that. I gotta check on Sayaka Maizoni update. I wake myself up late in the night.
I unlock my bedroom's door, and found something i didn't expect. It was Sayaka, standing in front of Makoto's door. I rush to her before she rang the doorbell.
"Sayaka." I summoned her.
"Abu?!" She replied. Her face looks frustated, i guess my plan to vaccinate her by telling about the condition if her idol-mates didn't work well.
"Give me, the knife."
"What're you talking about?!" Her face turn pale.
"I knew what you did in the kitchen. Give, it, to, me." I continue.
"It- it was for self defense!" She replied. She pulls out the knife in a quick pace, then swungs it to me.
I dodged it, but then she thrust it into my chest. In a fast reflex, i cathed the knife and bled my own hands, piercing trough my gloves. But my grip is firm enough that she couldn't pull the knife. I bodied her with a push and stealed the knife from her. She takes few step back in fear.
"P- please don't kill me!" She looks terrified. I exhaled a breath.
"I won't. I am just making sure no murder will happen. Tonight or tomorrow." I slowly head back to my bedroom.
Leaving Sayaka alone in the dormitory hall, i confident the problem has been solved.

Ding dong bing bong.
"Morning everyone! Nighttine has over and now it is 7 AM! Let's greet a beautiful day!" Monokuma's announcement. Just like how he usually does every morning.
This morning. Like any same day in the bunker. I put on a good dress i always wear since i arriving here. A black suit with a tie. And black shoes and black pants, and a pair of new glove (?). Matching with my dark skin colour, not because of my race but because of constant radiation with minimum shelter.
I open my door and went to the dining hall. But before i do, i stole a gaze on Sayaka and Makoto's doorsign, it's not swapped. Like it has to be. Meaning last night, no murder has occured.
I came to the dining hall and i got welcomed. Milk and bread for breakfast today. And some of orange peels on top of one of the dining table.
"Abu! You're late!" Sayaka warned me. Good, she's alive.
"I am really sorry it was my fault." I apologize to them.
"Look at Makoto, he's the ultimate earliest!" Taka glazed him.
"Huh?! Is it awful to be late?" Toko challenged.
"I didn't overslept! It was bermuda triangle to blame!" Yasuhiro, not celeste, explained why he was late too.
"Wait, aren't we still missing people?" Kirotaka questioned.
"Yeah, Byakuya and Leon hasn't came yet." Hina answered. Her face showing care and worry.
"Huh? Is there something happened?" Byakuya finally arrived.
"Did he forget our breakfast promise?" Hifumi also looks worried.
"We- we need to go! We have to find him!" Sayaka initiated. Her face expression looks worried.
That goddamn girl!
We rushed outside. All of us, searching for Leon. I know where should we go, of course we have to look at Makoto's room. Shouldn't we?
"Dormitory. We must search dormitory first!" I initiated.
"Nighttime, related to sleep." I continue.
"He might still sleeping!" Makoto replied.
We checked the dormitory and try to get inside. But the door was locked.
"Look. He is just sleeping." Byakuya, in his everyday nonchalant posture.
"I guess so." Makoto nodded.
"No, we still have to find him!" I replied. Makoto seems a bit annoyed, but he agreed.
"Let's search the whole school and dormitory." I continue.
"No, let's just search the school area." Makoto replied aggresively.
"But, Nighttime only related to dormitory. There is no way he went to school at midnight." Kirotaka countered.
"Using that mindset, if something happened to Leon, the ones who did something bad to him won't make sure he is easy to find. Let's search the school first." Makoto rebuttled.
"That's... a nice take." Byakuya replied.
Except, Kyoko. She stay still. Then, she approached me.
"You seem so worried, Abu. You have something you know, right?" I quickly nodded.
"We must split. Me and Kyoko will search the dormitory. You guys search other area." I said.
"But do not violate the privacy of our bedroom." Makoto replied to me. This is suspicious.
"Guys! Give me all your dormitory's bedroom key!" I announced. Everyone looks surprised. But they gave us the key, Makot9 also did. With hesitation.
"Mr.Makoto, why you are making sure we avoid searching the dormitory? Especially the bedroom?" Kyoko questioned Makoto. He looks very anxious and take few steps backward.
"Well, let's take the bet, then." Without warning, she just went to Makoto's bedroom.
"No. You look like some kind of information
"It should have been locked." I told her. She nodded and unlock the bedroom's door. And when she turn the doorknob of the bedroom's door, she went inside directly.
And when we went inside, Makoto followed us behind. It looks very clean, but, me and Kyoko smelled surely some kind of weird scent.
As we went inside,i turn my eyeball to the side of the edge. Sayaka's gaze secretly stealing stare to us.
"Why there is a smell of... let's search everywhere." Kyoko initiated. We went onto searching the entire room.
I about to open the bathroom door with the trick i knew from the game. But i stopped, just before i open it. I act like i don't know how to open the bathroom door.
"This is locked!" I shouted. I turn on Kyoko, she's gone with Makoto. Kyoko, you should help me!
I tought Kyoko is betraying me. I guess it's just my overthinking.
I come out of the bedroom and saw others coming. Makoto, in a panic expression, and others. Then i lead them again inside.
As we arrived, Makoto told us that his bedroom's bathroom is locked and he could never open it.
"Makoto, let me borrow your toolkit." I said to him. He look hesitated. But finally, he went onto his wardrobe and give me his box. Why the toolkit box looks like it has been used before?
After minutes of work, i successfully opened the door. I frozen. Kyoko goes insidr, frozen. Sakura goes inside, also frozen.
It took us a second to realise we all were screaming. What I saw dug its way through my eyes and buried itself in my brain.
"Leon?!?!"
