Before anyone could say more, Katashi and Satchiko entered the room. Though Kazuki still looked concerned, he didn't press any further now that they were here.

"This'll be perfect." Katashi said as he sat next to Willow, Satchiko joining next to him. "There's enough space for us and much more if we have to take in any more people."

"Yay! We did a good job!" Mai exclaimed with a giggle.

"Um... Mimoto-chan..." Satchiko started, looking at the girl intently. "H-have we met before? You look really familiar...."

Nise slowly shook her head. "I-I don't think so... maybe? W-we could've passed each other before o-or something...."

Satchiko nodded. "Y-yeah, that's probably it...."

Just then Tomi entered the room with a grin. "The place is pretty secure, and there's at least thirty seven escape routes I could name! Probably more, but I only checked once." He said with a shrug.

"Tomi, don't count the top floor's windows as valid escape routes. Not everyone's as insane as you." Toki stated, and Tomi frowned.

"Hey, if you're being chased you'll take anything." Tomi pointed out with a shrug. "So, when're we gonna throw this girl out?" He asked, pointing to Nise. "She seems really useless."

"W-what?" Nise's eyes widened, and she looked terrified. "B-but...."

"Don't worry Mimoto-san, no one's throwing you out." Kazuki said in a calming tone, before turning to glare at Tomi. "I know you have a serious lack of empathy, but come on! We aren't just going to leave someone to die!"

"Boring..." Tomi muttered.

"Um, how about we all get settled in now?" I suggested before things could get any more heated.

"I like that idea. Let's choose our rooms! First come first serve!" Mai exclaimed.

~*~

Everyone had chosen their rooms and gotten all set up, and now, we were trying to think about where Michio was. Everyone was gathered around the coffee table in the middle of the living room, suggesting locations. Or more, it was just the survivors doing the thinking, as Nise, Tomi, and I didn't really know him. As I sat with the other two nearby being useless, I decided to start up a conversation.

"Hey Uyeda-kun, why aren't you in there with them?" I asked, "I mean, even if you weren't part of the game, you were part of their class before."

Tomi shrugged. "I never really talked to him, he didn't like me very much." He laughed a bit. "I don't blame him, I made it my goal to make life difficult for everyone. It was fun."

"You really are something..." I muttered, though I wasn't sure if that was really a bad something.

"Then it's gotta be that building!" Mai exclaimed, loud enough for everyone to hear. "It looks just like an evil base!"

"That would be too obvious. He wouldn't be that stupid." Toki stated, "The building's tall, stands out, it just wouldn't be practical."

"Maybe that's what he wants us to think." Kazuki pointed out. "He knows how you think, Toki-san, and that you're pretty much our leader. I could see him actually being there just for the fact that you'd think he wouldn't be."

Toki thought for a moment, before nodding. "You could be right... okay, I guess it wouldn't hurt to check it out."

"Who's gonna go?" Katashi asked, "I mean, some people should stay behind, the more of us there are the easier it'd be to separate us."

"Well, we still don't know if Mimoto's trustworthy, so I'll stay behind to keep an eye on her." Toki replied, looking over at the short girl. "Don't take it personally. We just don't know much about you yet."

Nise slowly nodded. "O-okay..."

"Anyways, I'll leave leading the mission to you, Kazuki-kun. I can always count on you." Toki continued.

"Alright." Kazuki replied with a smile. "So, who wants to come?"

"I do! I suggested it!" Mai exclaimed, raising her hand.

"Me too." Willow said, twirling a piece of dusty brown hair.

"I'll go." I spoke up, and after that it grew quiet.

"I guess that's that." Toki said, looking around at everyone. "Then Katashi, Satchiko, and Tomi can go to one of the other locations to cover more ground at the same time. Be back by dark."

I nodded, standing from my seat. Finally, we were going to take action.
