Chapter Text
Shuichi sat at the very edge of his bed, his right foot repeatedly tapping against the cold tile floor. Eyes wide and darting about, he nervously fixed his gaze on the alarm clock across the room. He had been staring at it for the past hour, and it read 11:40. By this time, he was certain a few of his friends had already been called out and taken away in the transport vans at this point. His eyes glanced over to the suitcase by the door. It had been brought to him by a nurse only an hour ago, packed with his minute possessions. He had nothing left to do except wait for a doctor or nurse to come get him from his room.
Shuichi had been so excited- he’d been looking forward to finally leaving this claustrophobic, off-white hellhole and seeing everyone again for the first time in forever. So he just couldn’t understand why he was so scared. He could FEEL his heartbeat palpitating in his fingertips, sweat pooling in the palms of his hands, he was a nervous wreck. Shuichi couldn’t understand- why was he so nervous all of a sudden? C’mon on, I mean- it’s not like he was about to be reunited with the same people whose faces, corpses, and screams of pain and pleading had been haunting his nightmares for the better part of the last two and a half months-! …Oh wait.
Shuichi groaned loudly, rubbing his temples in an attempt to soothe his ever-increasing headache. It was as though his head was about to burst- although maybe that would be a preferable alternative to facing the same people he condemned to death or was unable to save.
*DING!*
The sudden ding of his phone startled Shuichi for a brief moment. But it was quickly replaced by a sense of relief. Finally, a distraction from his overwhelming thoughts. He unlocked his phone and opened his messages, a hopeful expectation in his eyes as he waited to see who had texted him.

ultimate survivor? HA!: i swear to god man…
theosexual: It makes sense tho!
theosexual: Rantarou died first and instantly, so he didn't have a slow and painful death and never had to bear witness to an execution! He was also only around for the first motive meaning he didn't get to bear the anguish of the video motive, see the outside world, OR go through the final trial like some of the others did! :D
big fella: That's probably a good thing
big fella: Gonta wouldn't want Amami-kun to go through all the very bad things from the killing game
onii-channn~~: I mean, that is true
onii-channn~~: But he also went through TWO killing games, remember that
ultimate survivor? HA!: eh, i don't remember anything from season 52 so i'm not really bothered by it
fingering master: That's good I guess

lightly seasoned: I should have you flayed and slow roasted.
onii-channn~~: ngl himiko does seem like the type of person to read those wattpad books where y/n who obviously isn't like other girls gets sold off to either a family of hot vampires, the band one direction, or harry styles by their abusive mother
