[Action]

[ She watched Makoto Naegi die, the squelch of flesh and viscera, the crunch of bone, the dull thump...thump...thump of the machine that mashed him to a pulp. All the evidence pointed to the fact that he was dead, yet she found herself wishing it wasn't true. In spite of all her efforts to keep emotions from clouding her judgement, the guilt of letting her ambitions come before the life of another gnawed at her mind enough for false hope to creep in.

Maybe he lived.

After all, his body fell into the trash room below. It was unlikely that it would have been cleaned up and whisked away elsewhere. If she could see it, she could confirm that he was dead, once and for all. She might also uncover some clues behind the mastermind who had set the trap with her in mind.

She concealed herself in a garbage bag and had her classmates drop her down the trash chute. The fall was longer than expected.

The death was instantaneous. Or it should have been, were it not for the fact she had woken up in yet another school. After giving herself a minute to adjust, her best course of action was to get a lay of the land and gather as much information as she could.

[ You might have felt a pair of eyes watching you in the public areas today, the slightest glimpse of a girl, pale and willowy, wandering in the shadows, or in some corner just within earshot. She observes but never approaches, maintaining a neutral expression regardless of what's going on around her and walking away as soon as anyone makes a step in her general direction.

Maybe she wasn't watching you after all. Maybe she's a ghost. Can something more ghostly exist in a town of dead souls? It is a mystery.

After a few hours of reconnaissance/creeping, she's slipped into the library to peruse the science stacks. With a wall at one end, there's only one way in and out. She's mindful of that opening, keeping an eye on it, just in case someone feels inclined to corner her and confront her.

I'm not contradicting myself, you're just making some huge difficult deal outta this! [ Groooan. ] It's just that you try to keep up the shit you enjoy doing despite all the weird shit that happens, that's what "living" here's all about!

... Depends on what you'd call "common".

[ It's not too great of a topic, especially not after how much he freaked out last time. It's why he looks a little more like a sulky little kid, shoving his hands into the pockets of his pants. ]

It's happened more than once before, but it's not like it's happening all the time.

If it'd rain somedays even if it doesn't most of the time, would you call that "unusual" too? It's just like any other thing here.

[ Now that's a lie, but it's not for any malicious reason - he just doesn't want to seem uncool (even though.. they all already know just how uncool he is..) by admitting he was scared to death. ]
