Yasuhiro: "You two sure took your sweet time!" Hiro said with a huff.

Me and Leon had just returned from the pool. And now we were being lexured by Hiro..

It's a bit strange thought. Why was Hiro acting like a parent? He's usually pretty chill.. I mean, after the killing game, he definitely changed. It was just a bit weird for the chill, laid back Hiro to be scolding us like this.

Leon: "Come on, man, we already said sorry! Let's just continue investigating." Leon said with a huff as he rubbed the back of his head.

Hifumi: "We only have one place to explore anyway. And it's back downstairs!" Hifumi stated, reminding us of the new room that was unlocked on the main floor.

Leon: "Oh, yeah. Wasn't it a bath house?"

Yasuhiro: "Yeah, it should be."

Makoto: "Well, I guess we should get going then!"

The four of us soon ventured downstairs to the bath house. Just the mention of the bath house just reminds me of Mondo and Ishimaru's silly competition of endurance.

But then I remembered the complete change in Taka once Mondo was executed...

I shake the thought out of my head. I can't think about that right now...

-

Looking at the entrance of the bath house really gave me a lot of memories... some unpleasant, some... ugh, never mind.

Leon was the first to go inside. After our talk, he seems to have higher spirits. Good..
The rest of us follow Leon into the bath house.

Once there, we found Chihro and Sayaka, looking around. Strange... Where's Mukuro? Shouldn't she be with them? She may have wandered off to talk to Junko, maybe.. I let out a sigh as I approached the two other ultimates.

Makoto: "Hey Chihiro, Sayaka! Fancy seeing you here, huh?" I say as I let out a small chuckle.

The two of them turn around, each giving me a soft and happy smile.

Sayaka: "Hehe, what a coincidence that we run into each other while investigating!" Sayaka giggled, bringing her hand to her mouth.

She seems to be in better spirits... that makes me so relieved. I'm so glad she's doing alright...

Chihiro: "This is the last place in our investigation. We haven't found anything new.. sorry..." Chihiro sulked as tears formed in the corner of his eyes, feeling like he disappointed everyone.

Yasuhiro: "Ah, don't worry about it, dude! We haven't found much either, so don't be too hard on yourself!" Hiro said as he gave Chihiro a comforting pat on the head.

Chihiro was surprised but smiled happily as Hiro comforted him.

Sayaka sighed as she saddled up next to me.

Sayaka: "So you really haven't found anything..?" She asked, her voice filled with concern and uncertainty.

I let out a small sigh as I scratched the back of my head.

Makoto: "Well.. there was something of notice in the library, but.. other than that, we haven't found anything. But I'm sure there's something in this damn school that will lead us to freedom. Just have hope!" I say in a comforting tone as I lay my hand on Sayaka's shoulder.

Leon: "Yeah! We may be stuck right now, but I'll do everything in my power to get us all out of here!" Leon said with confidence as he pumped his fist in the air.

Me and Sayaka laugh at his determination and hopefulness. Hiro, Chihiro, and Hifumi seemed to chuckle as well.

Sayaka: "You two are right.. I shouldn't worry too much. I believe in everyone, so I should believe that we will get out of here!" Sayaka exclaimed as she raised her fist in the air alongside Leon.

Yasuhiro: "That's the spirit!" Hiro yelled in excitement as he pumped his fist in the air, joining the others.

Hifumi and Chihiro chuckled as they raised their fists in the air for the spirit of the group.

I couldn't help but smile. Knowing the others are able to give each other hope gives me peace of mind. I let out a laugh as I raised my hand up with the others. It was a nice bonding experience with them. I feel like I never could've done this before... it's honestly nice.

Chihiro: "O-oh! By the way.. have any of you seen Junko..? She went to the bathroom a little bit ago, but she hasn't returned.." Chihiro said with a hint of concern in his voice.

So, she's missing? Where could she have gone? Maybe she's at that secret passageway in the boys' bathroom now that the second floor has been unlocked... I have no clue. I don't know how Junko and Mukuro communicate.. Wait, are they even talking now? After what happened at the gym... it'd be a shocker if Mukuro is still in cahoots with Junko.

Hifumi: "Miss Enoshima? No, we haven't seen her... do you think she's alright?"

Chihiro: "I-I have no clue.. I'm a bit worried..."

Yasuhiro: "I'm sure she's alright. Maybe she wandered off somewhere and forgot to tell someone." Hiro said while he rubbed the back of his head.

Sayaka: "How about we split up to find her?"

Chihiro: "W-what if I'm just over thinking? Maybe she's fine and i-it'll be weird if we went to find her..." Chihiro started to fumbled with his hands nervously as he thought of the different possibilities that Mukuro could be in.

Leon: "Don't worry too much Chihiro! It doesn't matter what happened, it's best if we go check on her. I'm sure she would understand because of the situation we're in." Leon said as he laid a hand on Chihiro's shoulder trying to get him to relax.
