I've always known there was no returning home for us. It was pretty clear when we got here what happened to us.

Knowing that freedom wasn't really possible is... well, knowing Monokuma I'm not surprised by it. Nothing I was told really adds up, though. How could I have been in a previous killing game with the ultimate hunt also being true?

Whatever happens when this is over, we can go together. It's not selfish to want to consider a life after this...

Right now all we can really do is look out for each other and take it a step at a time.
