Stuck in a killing game was.. less than ideal. Five people were already dead; Sayaka Maizono, Junko Enoshima, Leon Kuwata, Chihiro Fujisaki, and Mondo Owada. And of course you were forced to watch it all. The first motive was freedom, human connections. The second motive was the threat to reveal embarrassing secrets. Started with 15, now there’s 10. Who knows how many more will fall victim to despair, and kill another?

It was nighttime, and soft sobs came from Aoi Asahina’s room. She was just… so upset. She had enough of this stupid killing game. What if she gets too desperate and!-

Donuts.

Thats it. She needed donuts. Her favorite snack. So, she broke the nighttime rule (not an actual rule, supposedly just by the students, so she won’t get punished for this.), and headed towards the kitchen till she heard a strange noise from the bathhouse.

Grn… grrrnn… grnnn..

curious, she walks towards the bathhouse, entering, and seeing a green light in an open locker…

“KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!”

she screamed. It was a glowing face of Chihiro!! . . . Aoi had lied at first, saying it was a stomachache so she could avoid people that day. But, Celeste is extremely good at finding lies, because she herself is good at lying. So it was found out quick. The group at first doubted her, except for Hifumi and Yasuhiro, who were terrified. But when they got there, and opened the same locker… it was just a laptop! Kyoko, being a very smart woman, figured out that it was the laptop from the library, the dusty broken one… but she also figured out that Chihiro must’ve fixed it, because Chihiro was the ultimate programmer. He must’ve hid it on the bathhouse because there’s no security cameras in there. Smart.

Makoto turned the laptop on after pressing several keys. The laptop lit up, a pale green light. There was a bunch of different icons. One that caught everyone’s attention was the “Alter Ego” icon. On kyoko’s request, Makoto gave the laptop to her. And she double clicked the icon… and a voice started speaking to them.

”Master! You’re here!”

Chihiro’s face appeared, taking up the entire screen. Yasuhiro freaked out, yelling about a ghost. Kyoko didn’t react- just typed in: “what are you?”. After the ai seemed to understand, it responds:

“Hello, nice to meet you. I’m Chihiro Fujisaki. Eheh… I always get so embarrassed introducing myself.”

It was… Chihiro. It was unreal. It was strange, seeing the dead’s face…The Al lives in a computer, and by repeating different tasks, it gains knowledge and grows bit by bit. Apparently, Chihiro used a support vector machine and re inforcement learning to develop it... This must’ve been how Chihiro earned the title: “Ultimate Programmer.”

it can create memories, have thoughts, and "grow up." The process isn't much different from how humans work.

But… Hifumi, being the pervert he is, made comments about how hot he felt. Because, since he’s such an anime Weaboo, and the program said “master”… you get it. Kyoko pushed on, typing: “what he was doing?”

“Are you asking what Master had planned for me? He wanted me to analyze the massive number of files stored on this laptop. I believe the files are related to the school, but the protection on them is surprisingly strong. So it's taking me a little longer than I thought. But here's what Master must have been thinking...”

“The fact that the files are protected so tightly means they must contain some important secret. For example, perhaps...the secret of this school.”

Kyoko typed: “good. Keep doing it.” And the enthusiastic voice of the ai came through, a bittersweet feeling like Chihiro was still there.

“But I'm definitely gonna do it, so you can just leave it to me!” . . . You were alone, changing in the bathhouse. Then, a voice. Chihiro’s. Specifically, the AI’s voice. The computer sat in the open locker, Chihiro’s face on the screen.

“Master? Is that you?”

He must’ve noticed you. Do you reply? Do you type away, or ignore Chihiro’s ai alone and leave him confused? Hifumi might be upset about it. But who cares?
