Chapter 2 - Part 15

CHAPTER 02
When I entered the pharmacy, I immediately saw her cowering in the corner.
CHAPTER 02
Hiyoko, are you alright?
CHAPTER 02
*Sniff*...
G... Go away. Leave me alone!
Wait, I can’t just-
CHAPTER 02
Stop it! Stop talking to me!
She’s shaking... She must have seen something really bad...
I-It’s okay, Hiyoko. You can tell me what’s going on.
You’ll...you’ll feel better if you talk about it.
CHAPTER 02
*Sniff*....
...
I... I just...
...She’s actually talking?
I went into the beach house... and then...
CHAPTER 02
Before she could say anything else, a familiar sound rang through the pharmacy.
*Ding dong ding dong*
CHAPTER 02
A body has been discovered!
Please all gather at the beach house on the second island!
After a certain amount of time has passed, the “class trial” will begin!
CHAPTER 02
My heart dropped.
As the announcement closed, I stepped away from Hiyoko.
CHAPTER 02
...
She fell silent again...
CHAPTER 02
I was tentative to leave her behind, but I had no choice.
I need to go to the beach house...!
CHAPTER 02
Eh?
The door...isn’t opening?
It doesn’t feel like it’s locked. It’s almost like there’s something blocking the door?
CHAPTER 02
My nerves were spiraling out of control.
They crawled through my body, splintering in all directions, feeding on me like a virus.
It made me want to throw up... but I had to keep going.
Because... I had to face what was inside.
Bracing myself, I pushed open the door.
CHAPTER 02
...AAAAAH!!
