After a day of.. nothing really. It's nighttime.

Y/n gets ready and heads for the courtyard, Kaito and Shuichi are there, but Maki isn't. She's nervous that Maki'll not show up.

"Hey Y/n! Do you know if Maki's coming?" Kaito asks

"She said she would. I'm sure she's just on her way."

Then, Maki finally shows up.

"You're late.! Being late is the first sign of slacking! This training'll really pay off!" Kaito says

"Weren't you late to the dining hall earlier?" Maki says

"That doesn't count! Anyway! I you guys are ready, and I'm not gonna go easy on you just because you're girls!"

"What are we doing?" Shuichi asks

"Hmm.. 100 push-ups.!"

"100!? Are you kidding me?" Y/n says

"I told you I wasn't gonna go easy on you!"

"Come on Y/n, you should have a better attitude." Shuichi chuckles

"I didn't sign up for this.." Y/n mumbles.

They all get on the ground to do the push-ups.

"And don't cheat today Kaito.. I'll be counting your reps.!" Shuichi says

"No worries, I can easily do 50." He says

"I thought we were doing 100..!?" Y/n says, while getting ready to start.

She lifts her body down.. and then up again. With a large struggle.

"Argh.. One.. ow.. t-two.. three.. four.." She grunts, clearly in pain.

She looks over to Maki.

"95, 96, 97, 98.."

"Wha-!? That fast!?" Kaito exclaims

"100. I'm done." Maki stands up and brushes herself off.

Y/n just lets go and lies on the floor.

"Already.!?" Shuichi says

"A-And you're not even tired.. you must have trained before, huh?" Kaito says nervously

"Aren't you guys a little too out of breath? Y/n looks like she's dying. It's not like we pushed ourselves.." Maki gives everyone an odd look.

"I did 500 push-ups beforehand.. so.." Kaito lies

"Well, I've finished. So I'm going back to my dorm." Maki says

"Okay, we're doing training tomorrow too, so you better be there!"

Maki ignores Kaito and walks away without saying a word.

Y/n sits up and gets off the ground, out of breath.

"I don't.. think I'm too great at this.."

"That's what training is for! If you see someone weak, you help them. Teamwork is important for astronauts! Anyway, we're still in the middle of our push-ups. Let's go!"

"You're joking.. if I try do 100 push-ups we'll be here all night." Y/n sighs

"Then I guess we're saying here all night! Come on.!"

Y/n gets back down on the floor.

After a while of struggling, Shuichi and Kaito both do 100, while Y/n is on about 30.

"Come on Y/n! Work harder!" Kaito shouts

"I'm.. Urgh.. trying.."

An extremely long time later, she finally finishes.

"N-Ninety.. nine.. one.. ngh.. hundred.." She instantly breathes out and collapses onto the floor

"Well done.!" Shuichi says

"I.. don't think.. I can breathe.." She pants.

"Sure you can! Up you get."

Kaito and Shuichi help lift Y/n off the floor, she looks as if she just run across the entire country.

"Nothing a good night's sleep can't fix. See you tomorrow!" Kaito and Shuichi go back to the dorms. Y/n tiredly follows, still panting.

As soon as she gets into her dorm she just goes straight into bed. She doesn't even bother to change her clothes or take her shoes off. Well, her laceless shoes from making the lock in Maki's research lab.

—

The next morning, Y/n was planning to sleep in, but the morning announcement stated that there was something that needed to be said at the gym. Y/n, hardly awake still shows up, her entire body aching.

A lot happens, so here's a summary, as Y/n wasn't paying close attention.

There's a new motive, apparently one of the people who've died can come back from the dead, which is obviously bullshit. Angie, Himiko, Tenko, Tsumugi, Keebo and apparently Gonta are part of some 'student council' made to stop the killing. Which is probably good, but they all seem.. brainwashed. Even Tenko.

Even though all this stuff is important, Y/n is too tired to think about it, so she just goes straight back to her dorm. She doesn't do much that day, just staying in her dorm and occasionally walking around. Something.. is starting to hit her though. She feels cold and she feels on the verge of throwing up all the time. Like when you eat too much and feel sick from it, except nonstop. It sort of just.. started from a little bit of discomfort to full on pain.

Nighttime comes, even though she feels really awful, she really wants to do the training, so she shows up.

The three others are at the courtyard already.

"I almost thought you were gonna ditch us! Are you ready for more training?" Kaito says once Y/n walks up to them

"Yep, I'm ready." She smiles, and they all start.

It's the same as last time, Maki finishing at unnatural speed, while Y/n struggles to even get past 3.

She starts feeling sick again.. as if she's just waiting to throw up. She holds the plank position and starts breathing heavier.

"Y/n.? What's wrong?" Shuichi asks

Y/n doesn't say anything, she just keeps taking deep breaths and gets out of the plank position, so that she's just sitting.

Maki stops doing her push-ups and goes over to Y/n. "..Are you okay?"

"Y-Yeah.. I'm just.. tired.. I think I'm gonna go.. I'm sorry." She gets up and walks back to the dorms, looking down and covering her face.

"Huh? She only did a couple push-ups!" Kaito says

"..She's probably just worn out. I don't think she's used to exercise." Maki says, she sounds like she's trying to convince herself more.

—

Y/n didn't get a single second of sleep. She tells herself she probably caught a cold or something, and it's nothing to worry about. She does her best to hide it, of course Kaito, Shuichi and Maki ask her what happened, but she just plays it off as being tired. The 'student council' are starting to become a bit of a problem. They aren't letting people out at night anymore, and blocked the manhole leading to the underground passage. Angie decided that they were gonna use the motive to resurrect Rantaro.

That makes Y/n a little sad. Her and Rantaro were friends. From time to time she thinks about the survivor's perk, but she's mostly forgotten about it. She has the tiniest hope that it actually ends up working, and Rantaro can come back, but she knows it's not true.

After an entire day of staying in her dorm and ignoring the door, it's finally nighttime.

Someone rings the doorbell but she doesn't answer. Everything hurts, her stomach, her arms, her head. Everything.

They start banging on the door. They probably won't stop, so she gets off the bed and slowly walks over, she opens it, unsurprisingly, Maki, Shuichi and Kaito are there.

"Y/n.! You look awful.! What happened!?" Kaito says loudly.

"I.. don't know.. I think I caught something.." She rubs her eyes

"Is that why you left training last night?" Maki asks

Y/n nods. "It started as just feeling nauseous.. I was just dealing with it until yesterday it started getting really bad.. I can't even eat or sleep.."

"Why didn't you say something sooner.?" Shuichi says. "We're your friends, we can help."

"Because.. it's so embarrassing.. it's pathetic.." She sighs a little

"It's not your fault that you're sick.! You shouldn't call yourself pathetic for something you can't help, you're only pathetic if you decide to give up and not try. Rest is the cure to all problems!" Kaito says motivationally

"..Yeah.. you're right. I'll be alright.. just gotta sleep it off. Don't worry about me.. see you in the morning.." Y/n goes back into her dorm.

Then, Tenko comes asking for help. Kaito decides to stay behind and let Maki and Shuichi handle it, so they do.

A couple hours later, Y/n hears a knock on her door. She shouts to say it's unlocked, then Maki walks in.

"You should keep your door locked. Especially after what Kokichi did that one time." Maki folds her arms and stands at the end of the bed.

"I doubt I'm sleeping tonight anyway."

Maki walks over a little more. "Can I sit?"

Y/n nods.

Maki sits in bed beside Y/n. They stay silent for a little, until Maki speaks.

"Angie's going through with the ritual. She even made these scarily realistic wax figures of all the people who've died so far."

"..I'm worried for her. I think she thinks that she can do whatever she likes because of Atua. What if she ends up getting hurt?"

"If she gets hurt, she should've seen it coming her way."

"Maki.! Don't say that.."

"..Sorry."

They sit in silence for a little longer.

"Maki.. do you think one of us will be killed anytime soon?" Y/n turns to look at her

"..What do you mean?"

"Well.. in the rules it says it'll continue until there's 2 people left. What are the odds that it's us two? You know?"

"Then.. I'll make sure it's us. Just.. don't get yourself killed."

"But.. then again, do I really want to survive if I have to see all my friends die.? We'd have to watch Kaito and Shuichi be killed.."

"..We'll have each other, right? We are both going to survive.. whatever it takes." She sounds pretty scary as she says that.

"..." Y/n pauses for a second. "..Yeah. If you say so.." She dreads it. Of course she wants to live.. but seeing everyone die?

Y/n shuffles closer to Maki and says goodnight, then tries to sleep, but she doesn't sleep. Maki falls asleep eventually, but Y/n can't. Having Maki right beside her is a little comforting though.
