Another night has fallen upon this hellhole of a school but one student has an idea to cheer everyone up.

Jay was still in their room, they thought it was locked but Daiko somehow burst in.

"D-daiko, what the-"

"No time to explain!" He grabbed them by the wrist.

"W- Hey!" Jay tried to pull herself away.

Daiko was able to drag Jay out of their room and into the hallway, leading them to Ash's room.

"Why are we here?" Jay sighed.

"Ash hasn't been out of her room since the... Incident." Daiko told them.

Jay looked to the side, they didn't want to be thinking about that now.

"I just wanted to check if she was okay and-"

"You want me to help because?" Jay raised a brow.

Daiko was quiet before he spoke,"Well, I didn't want to go alone."

"It's Ash, she's not gonna kill you." Jay rolled their eyes,"Besides, you could've asked Stevie and it's nighttime!"

"Stevie wouldn't answer the door." Daiko crossed his arms.

Jay sighed,"I'm here now, I guess."

Daiko gave them a small smile before knocking on the door.

Ash had been laying on her bed for... God knows how long. She had been thinking about Kirari, she hadn't been back since the last time she appeared. Ash chocked it up to the fact that being solid in the realm of the living was probably very draining for the ghosts so they'd have to rest for a while.

"Y'know, there is a way to see her again, Miss Rosenberg." Monokuma hummed.

"Of course I know, MonoBear." Ash sighed,"But-"

"No, another way." He interrupted her,"You could hold a seance since you have the Ultimate Medium or use this handy dandy mirror!"

"Mirror?" Ash blinked.

Monokuma then revealed a hand-held mirror from behind his back,"It allows people to view into the spirit world! Would ya like it?"

"Of course I w-" Ash reached out for it.

"Nu-uh, you can't have it yet." Monokuma held it out of her reach,"If you want it, you're gonna have to kill somebody!"

Ash was silent. Her? K-kill someone? No... No, she couldn't! Ash's thoughts were interrupted by knocking on her door.

"We'll talk about this-" But when Ash turned back to Monokuma, he was gone,"N-nevermind."

And with that, she got up to answer the door. When she opened up, she saw Jay and Daiko stood there.

"Oh, h-hey.." She waved at them slowly.

"Phew, you're not dead." Daiko let out a sigh of relief,"How are you holding up?"

"I've... I've been worse." Ash nodded.

"Hm, well, looks like our job here's done." Jay turned sharply and walked off.

"If you need anything, just let me know." Daiko smiled.

"I will." Ash nodded, closing the door.

"Isn't that nice?" Monokuma grinned.

"Why'd you disappear on me?" Ash spun around.

"Well, they'd all think you were a traitor if they saw you casually chatting with me." Monokuma hummed,"And you're not working with the Mastermind, are you?"

"No... Not anymore." Ash shook her head.

"H-hang on, what!?" Monokuma blinked.

"I was working with him until the last murders took place." Ash crossed her arms,"Obviously you wouldn't know, he doesn't tell people his secrets often."

"But... Why you?" Monokuma blinked.

"Because I'm trustworthy, people believe me." Ash shrugged,"Everyone believes me."

Daiko had began walking back to his room but he noticed Jay hadn't, they'd headed up the stairs. Worried for what they might be doing, he slowly and cautiously followed behind them. He noticed they entered... The music room? Daiko shrugged and headed inside as well and instantly he was hit! Hit with beautiful violin music. Jay's violin music. They looked so... At peace, when playing. He couldn't help but sit down and watch their performance. After probably fifteen to thirty minutes, Jay lowered their violin and sat it back on his the stand and Daiko obviously started clapping.

Jay jumped and spun around,"Dai?!"

"Hey, Jay." He waved,"I saw you come up here and wanted to know what you were doing."

And soon enough, they were joined by another. Yūrei.

"Oh, hiya Y-" Daiko was cut off.

"I am holding a seance tomorrow afternoon at the request of Ash." They spoke calmly.

"A seance? Really?" Jay blinked.

"I am the Ultimate Medium, after all." Yūrei reminded them before turning around.

"U-uh, what time?" Daiko asked them.

"Twelve o'clock, don't be late." And with that, the mysterious student who they barely interacted with, was gone.

"You're not seriously thinking of going, are you?" Jay gave Daiko a look.

"Of course I am." Daiko shrugged,"Now come on, it's late."

Jay groaned and began walking,"I don't wanna go to the stupid seance. Spirits can appear through mirrors! I could get any mirror, look into it hard enough and find, I don't know, Crystal."

"I know, Jay. It's probably just for fun, to lighten the mood." Daiko sighed.

"So... You're Scottish as well?" Scott asked.

"Yes, Scott. I'm Scottish." Stevie chuckled softly.

"That's mega cool!" Scott patted her back,"Ain't it?"

"I'd like to agree." Stevie smiled.

"I should probably get goin' noo, I've been here fir ages." Scott laughed as he got up.

"Get a move on, you." Stevie opened the door.

"See ya tamarrah." Scott left the room.

Stevie let out a sigh of relief. Scott was a great friend and all, but he could be just... Exhausting at times. She was about to head to bed but Jeff burst in.

"Stevie! You've been in a relationship before! How do you tell someone you like them!?" They questioned, grabbing Stevie by the shoulders.

"U-uh, well, you... You tell them calmly." Stevie told them.

"O-oh, sorry. I'll... I'll do it in ten morning. Can't interrupt her night watch." Jeff chuckled and left.

"Well... That was random." Stevie thought, closing the door.

Despite all Ray did to her and Daiko... Akira still monitored the halls at night. She didn't have to, of course, that was her and Ray's thing but... It made her feel good, to know that she was still trying to be a good person.

"This is stupid, y'know." A man spoke.

His hair was white and messy. He had a pair of tattered back wings and devil horns. His body, well, what you could see of his body was covered in burns.

"Go away, Pyros."

"Why should I?" He asked,"Why can't I come see my daughter at night?"

"You're not my dad!" She shook her head.

"Just because you killed me... Does not mean I'm not your father." Pyros hummed.

"Shut up..." Akira muttered.

"Someone's going to die soon." Pyros told her,"The big man told me earlier."

"W-what!? Who?" Akira turned to Pyros but... He was gone,"B-bastard.."

And with that, Akira continued with her night watch duties.
