(3rd Person's POV)

"Zzzzzz....Zzzzzzz..."

...

...

...

DING, DONG!

"Nng...huh?" Sora lazily opened her eyes, snapped out of her sleep. "Was that...the doorbell?"

Getting out of bed, Sora sluggishly trudged to the door and opened it to see...

"..."

"Kiri...? Whaddya want now?" Sora inquired as she yawned. "This is the second time you've bothered me while I was sleepin'..."

Kyoko rolled her eyes before folding her arms. "I'll be waiting for you in the dressing room... See you there..."

Without another word, she disappeared into the depths of the darkened hallway. Sora's eye twitched. She waked her up for that?

 But still, what she said...the dressing room? She knows that we're not exactly supposed to go out at night, but...

I may as well just go...

"This better be important..."

---

"Sorry for asking you to meet with me so late." Kyoko said as she and Sora were now in the dressing room. "Especially since you're not really a morning person..."

Sora sighed as she ruffled her hair. "...It's fine. By now, I'm used to people waking me up at bad times..."

"...Indeed." Kyoko would then turn her face straight to Sora. "Well then, let me get straight to the point."

"This is somethin' ya can't talk about with the surveillance camera's, right? Does this mean it has somethin' to do with that thing you stole?" Sora guessed.

"..."

"Monokuma said that someone stole somethin' from him. Did you...?"

Kyoko nodded. "That's right..."

"What was it, then?" Sora inquired curiously.

"I stole this..." Kyoko held the item out from her hand.

"Is that...a key?" Sora tilted her head. The key was shaped like Monokuma. Probably the only key of its kind... "Where did ya even get this?"

"From the headmaster's room." Kyoko told her.

"The headmaster's room?" Sora folded her arms. "But that thing is sealed tighter than Togami's butt! How did you..."

"The lock was broken."

"...Hm?"

"It was Ogami. She did it for us..." Kyoko said.

"Huh? But...why?" Sora asked.

"Remember what she said in her note? "I'm not going to just lay down and die. I will fight you...""

"So...Ogami really broke into the headmaster's room?"

"That's right. So that we could uncover whatever secrets might lay hidden within..."

"She did all that...just to help us?"

She violated the school regulations to help the students. She'd already decided to die, so her last act was to defy the rules of this place...

"I noticed the room was open after the class trial was over yesterday. But if I'd just strolled into the room, Monokuma would have noticed right away." Kyoko said. "You may not know this, but before I talked to you, I went to Naegi and used him as a decoy. I asked him to meet in the data center in order for him to draw Monokuma's attention. I took that opportunity to sneak into the headmaster's room. And as a result, I found this key."
