This week hasn't been good for a lot of you. Between the trial last weekend and strange dreams plaguing your sleep, the incident involving Yosuke on Monday, and the fact that apparently your captors are incentivizing you to kill one another, tensions have been high and spirits have been low overall.

Worst of all, you're still trapped here.

Friday morning dawns like the rest of the week before it; the clock chimes, the doors to the kitchen unlock, and there's a heavy silence that's settled over the building. However, it seems apparent that today isn't going to be just another day almost from the start, at least for some of you.

Namely, the floor is wet in one of the dormitory hallways.

The floors are wooden in here, so there's a good amount of it in the hall, seeing as it hasn't really soaked into anything properly; that said, it's just wet and spreading, not totally flooded or anything. It's the hall between rooms 21-25 that's currently the concern.

You might want to see what's going on. And do try to avoid stepping in it unless you're wearing shoes.

[Feeling her heart pounding, she moves forward immediately, both to see who it is and to take their pulse.]

Don't everyone come rushing in here.

[She says, hoping someone else can actually stop them.]

They're submerged. I can move them out of the water, but I don't know how to get it out of their lungs if they've swallowed too much.

[In case, you know, they aren't super dead.]

I do.

[Not that she...thinks it's incredibly relevant. She'll help move them out if needed, though.]

Please stay back, everyone.

[He's not exactly big enough to physically block people, but he will be trying to make sure people don't all crowd into the bathroom.]

Is it, like, blondie?

[Translation: "can I steal the stuff in this room or do we have bigger problems?"

She wasn't about to try and shove herself into that bathroom with everyone.]

...at least wait until we've looked everything over in here.

[He's really not cool with stealing tbh, but it's not like he can do much about it so go nuts, Tabby.]

[The person's face is still visible, given that their head isn't under the water; it's tipped back, leaned up against the edge of the tub, eyes closed. They're unmoving, not stirring any as they're approached, and they don't appear to be breathing; it may be difficult to tell that at first, because they're still fully clothed under the water, but enough of their mouth is under that if they were still alive, some sort of instinctive reflex or another would be kicking in to ensure they don't inhale and drown themselves.

Her long blonde hair is billowing out gently in the water around her body; that said, you might not want to reach into the water. The toaster from the kitchen seems to have been knocked in with her; it's still plugged in, and even if the appliance has long since shorted out, you might not want to try to touch her while there's still a connection to an active current. (Somebody please stop poor Adelina.)

Either way, there's only one conclusion to be drawn here.

Chitoge Kirisaki is dead.]

[SHIT]

Don't - ! [Susan grabs Adelina's shoulder to pull her back, hard.]

[Bless you, Susan.

She looks bewildered for a moment, glancing towards the woman as she's pulled away. It at least distracts her from how awful that is.]

Susan&mdash?

Don't touch the water. It's electrified.

[Well, maybe the thing is shorted out, but that doesn't make it safe. If the cord looks safe enough to touch, Susan will pull it out of the wall. It's insulated, so unless there's wires exposed it should be fine.]

[Oh.]

...Thank you. I didn't realize.

[Something belatedly occurs to her:]

Don't [bleeped for your sanity by the Beyond Corp.©]

touch anything if the toaster is in there! [Because those two things have to be related.] We don't need two dead bodies.

[ two-- ]

Chitoge? N-no, is she--?

[ ...because Rin is absolutely barring that door, which is probably a good thing! ]

[Hi, she's right there with you, Alex--]

Is she...dead...?

Don't come in here.

[Not really a direct answer, but definitely a answer.]

[Weiss is just going to find her way out of the conga line and approach Alex and Sayaka.]

Y-yeah. She is.

Don't worry about it, Alex. [Look, Tabby used a real name. That's how you know she's serious.] Go, like. Go make breakfast or something, you don't need to be here.

[ She's not going to go in but- her face darkens. ]

You don't have to treat me like a little kid. [ The shaking in her voice, however...

She'd just told Chitoge not to be reckless. This... ]

...that only occurred to you just now?

Do I look like a smart person? If you're, like, so smart why didn't you say anything?

I just got here.

[ .........oh.

Oh, well. ...She'd yell that Chitoge's dead but this is her room, there's no big point to it, she's gonna be the only one in here so—Aligula's just gonna glare at the toaster and then at her body before she shuffles to one of the walls to lean against.

Ugggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. ]

[Oh god. She slams her eyes shut.]

W- she- anyone from before electric, keep back!

[...Dammit.

If she had just fallen into the water, maybe they could have done something. But with the toaster......]
