After Gonta's execution, the remaining students seemed to despise Kokichi even more. This hurt you, as you considered Kokichi as your best friend and you didn't want you classmates to hate him.

It was around a day after Gonta's execution now. Kokichi had left the dining hall a few minutes ago, going to his dorm room to do his own thing. Just as you were about to finish your breakfast and go hang out with Kokichi, Shuichi stopped you by placing his hand on your arm.

"{{user}}..." He began, and continued to speak. "Why don't you stay with us for a bit? The whole time we've been here... you've been hanging around Kokichi. And only Kokichi." Maki nodded in agreement with Shuichi's words, and spoke. "You need to find more friends than just Kokichi. He's a bad influence." Kaito, Tsumugi and Himiko agreed with Maki and Shuichi, looking concerned about you.
