"I don't remember seeing anything strange..." Axel thinks really hard about what he saw.
"...Nothing out of the ordinary during my shift." Spy calmly responds.
Vivian looks to the side, embarrassed. "S-Sorry...I'm so useless. I left during my shift, so I wouldn't know..."
Claus gives her a stern look. "You left?"
"E-Eep!"
"You'd think a bunch of ULTIMATES could perform basic guard duty..." Dennis rubs his temples in frustration. "Who was on guard duty last?"
Claus begins to respond. "That would be-" He's interrupted by a loud crunching sound. "Leanne and-" CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH. "Excuse me, but-" CRUNCH. "KNOCK IT OFF, SAM."
Sam flippantly responds. "Yeah, whatever. Can those of us who don't care be excused?"
"This is serious! What are you trying to-" CRUNCH.
Sylvia quickly turns to Sam. "Sam...I don't think it's a good idea to upset Claus. He's right about this being serious. We shouldn't be fighting each other, we should be working together..."
"...Sorry." Sam stops crunching the apple so loudly.
"Now then, if we look at the last people to-"
You stand and explain the situation.
"You...WHAT!?" Ashley looks furious.
"NYAHAHAHAAAAA!" Nekoshi pops out of the ground and jumps up on the table you're all sitting at. "So the secret's out! Tucker betrayed you all!" Nekoshi laughs once more. "And even more, he destroyed your only hope of getting out of this place!"
Vicky looks horrified. "Our...only way of getting out...!?"
"That's riiiiiight! Claus' Motive Video contained a secret to escaping to the outside world! And Tucker threw it away. But Claus didn't want to watch it anyway! Now you both look foolish! Nyahaha! I bet everyone hates you now!"
There's quite the mix of reactions toward this turn of events.
Sato stands between Dennis and Tucker. "Don't worry, Brother, I will protect you from the bad guy!"
"Tucker's not bad..." Vivian tries to defend you. "...He wanted us all to get along. That's why he did it."
"So the little son of a bitch betrayed us!? How the hell are we supposed to trust him!?" Ashley slams her folding fan on the table, splitting it into pieces in the process.

"Nekoshi is lying to us about the videos having a clue to escape, just like he did in the motive videos! You see, in my video, he said that I had planned out the next five years. However, in my manifesto, I planned out the next six years."
(That's a lie, by the way).
"Now, since I knew that misinformation was in my video, I could conclude that the rest of the videos were lies, too. And why would he lie? To get us to kill eachother! That's what he's doing right now! I made the correct desicion, and Nekoshi is trying to decieve us into turning against each other!"

Sam starts explaining the flaws in the previous plan. "If we were just going to keep them locked away under guard instead of doing anything with them, then what's the problem? We went from having nothing we were wasting time guarding to having nothing. Not that I think what Tucker did was OK, but... We should've listened to Vicky and watched them together!"
Claus responds. "You saw how that video affected Tucker. It's unlikely you would all stay calm and rational after that!"
"How are we supposed to know if we can trust Tucker anymore? If he betrayed us once, he'd do it again." Ashley looks pissed.
"Please, try to calm down, everyo-" Axel is interrupted by Ashley's shouting.
"LOOK, I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT PLANS OR CALMING DOWN OR ANYTHING! TUCKER NEEDS TO PAY FOR HIS CRIMES!"
Sam interrupts. "Hang on. Why was there a secret to escaping on Claus' video!? And he's the one who was so adamant about us not watching them!"
You explain that Nekoshi is a liar an-
"Hey! I'm not a liar! I haven't lied to you guys even once!" Nekoshi yells at Tucker obnoxiously.
"Would you be so kind as to lower your voice? Shouting at each other will get us nowhere. In fact, it's likely Nekoshi wants us to fight over matters such as this. We have to be calm and rational. If we let emotions run wild then there's a chance that..." Aki seems unable to finish that sentence.
Spy hesitates a moment before speaking. "I...Collaborated with Tucker. Apologies. We came to an agreement that the videos would only bring us all apart. While one of the videos had the secret to getting out of this place...considering the kind of...thing Nekoshi is. That secret may involve killing someone."
Nekoshi laughs at the following chaos.
Sylvia looks distraught. "Spy, you too...?"
Sato moves a bit to position himself between Dennis, Tucker, and Spy. "I'll protect you from all the bad guys!"
Axel tries to shout over everyone. "STOP ARGUING! YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE!"

"I say we take turns talking about what we think of the situation."

Spy attempts to yell over everyone. "Quiet down, everyone! Look at yourselves! This is exactly what Nekoshi wants. You are all arguing over these videos that were made with the very purpose to make us kill someone else. Don't any of you see how silly this is?"
Dennis glances around the room. "It's alright, brother." He hesitates, saying brother. Almost like it's weird to him. "They're not BAD, Sato, just foolish. Very foolish. Let this be a lesson. Never leave sparks around kindling unless your ready for a fire." He looks at Spy and you. "You've made this mess now clean it up." He promptly turns and walks out the door.
"W-Wait for me, brother!" Sato runs out of the room, chasing after Dennis. When did they get so close...?
You explain that you think everyone should take turns talking.
"Zat is not 'ow conversations work..." Amelia finally says something. It looked like she was pretty stunned by the whole situation just now.
Suddenly, Ashley seems to have a completely different demeanor. "Now, now, Tucker. I'm very disappointed in you. What you did was wrong, but I just can't bring myself to be angry with you. So no dessert tonight. And I want you to think about how you made your friends feel." She wags her finger at Tucker like a disappointed mother. This is a really weird shift.
Claus sighs and walks off, uncertain what he should even do anymore.
Now that things are a bit calmer, you notice Leanne is gone too. Actually...your room keys are gone as well. Did someone...?

"The ends justify the means, though. Now, the chance of a murder is greatly reduced without a motive, we don't have to reveal our secrets, and we don't have to spend twelvish percent of our time standing around and guarding. Ashley should be quite glad that she doesn't have to do her midnight shift, too."
Tucker suddenly has a concerned look on his face.
"Ashley...you weren't planning a murder, were you? You didn't seem to care much for the pads, and really hated the shift you were given. But then, all of a sudden, you decide to yell loudly about how I commited a crime when I did something that would only benefit you. Very suspicious..."

Sam throws his arms up in the air. "Sounds like it's settled, then. No dessert for a week. Are we done here?"
You explain your stance on the situation and how you really did everyone a favor before saying Ashley's probably planning a murder.
The air around Ashley suddenly becomes very...scary. The mom act is gone. She turns to you, smiles politely, and you suddenly feel a sharp pain in your face before stumbling backward and falling over a chair. "Fuck. You." She storms out of the room and slams the door behind her.
Well that was fun. James quickly makes his way over to you and begins checking the injury. "Hm. She hit you pretty hard. But you should be fine. Just a bruise." He helps you back up.
Spy's focus seems to be on Vicky. "Vicky? Is there anything wrong? you are being unusually quiet."
She looks at him as if snapping out of a trance. "Huh? Oh, I'm...fine. I'm fine. I just...I'm just a little tired. Maybe we should turn in for the night?"
Axel scratches his head. "...It has been pretty eventful, hasn't it?"

"Thanks, James. Yeah, we should probably go to sleep for now. Don't worry, guys. The future might seem dark, but we'll make it through. If anyone wants to air their grevances towards me because of my actions, let it rip and I will explain myself. That's about all."
Tucker heads out to his room.

"For now, I'm going to go to sleep. Today has been...eventful. as for Ashley, don't worry about her. She will eventually see that we did what we did for everyone's well being." Spy follows Tucker out.
You head back to your room, passing Sato, Dennis, and Aki on the way. As you head inside, however, you notice someone looking at all the information you have written on your walls. She freezes up as you enter and turns to look at you in surprise. It's Leanne, just as Spy suggested earlier. This...probably looks really bad. The writing on your walls looks like something akin to a madman in a jail cell and it's everyone's actions you've been observing...

"Hello, Leanne. Want to find something in my notes? I'll help you do it."

"Hello, Tucker." Leanne takes a breath and calms herself.
You ask her if you can help her find anything.
"Actually, I was just about to leave." Leanne looks to the door behind you like she wants to get out.

"Are you sure? You can ivestigate more, if you like. I know you detective types like looking around. Oh, you can keep my key as long as you lock my door, too. It will be a good trust-building exercise."

Leanne doesn't respond. She simply makes her way over to the door. You step out of her way and allow her to leave. It seems she chose to keep your room key. You won't have a way to lock your door tonight...
*BING BONG DING DONG*
"Greetings, Hope's Peak Academy! It's your lovely headmaster, Nekoshi, here! It is now 10:00 PM, which means it is night time! The Dining Hall and the Pool will now be closed, so don't think about doing anything, you delinquents!"
It's night time now. What should you do?

Write more notes. Check the cans to see if anyone moved them. See if Leanne locked the door.

You add to your wall notes and look at the cans you hid under the bed. They seem untouched. Leanne was probably so focused on your writing that she didn't notice.
You check the door. Yep, locked. But uh...how are you going to get out in the morning? Ah well. A question for later, you suppose.
