Mikasa broke the silence and said: "We must move around the house as pairs. Whoever did this, might be still on the island."
Byakuya responded: "I don't think that there is anyone besides the 16 of us."
Everyone looked at him - as if he just slipped and that he knows more about this place than the rest.
He continued after fixing his glasses. "For three reasons. First that this is not the first time that I'm in a danganronpa game. A villain named junko hosted another game like this which I was in with some other people. Aoi is also a survivor of that game."
This news was so shocking for some of the participants but the rest didn't care.
He continued "In other runs of this game, there never was the 17th person.
Secondly, Monokuma never lies when making these games. Having a 17th killer killing us will ruin the point of the game.
Also the third point. The letter we found earlier in this room mentioned some sort of experiment. Having a 17th murderer killing us all will not help with that. If the person who set up this wanted us dead by anyone that is not us, they would kill us before we wake up."
Mikasa added "So smart boy. What is this hand?"
The sad environment was back. No one knew whose hand this was or what that letter "E" means.
