[ Nighttime - ??? p.m ]

It was currently nighttime in Hope's Peak Academy and everyone was doing their own thing. Chihiro had been invited to train together by Mondo so he agreed and went to grab some things. While he walked around, he was spotted by Celeste carrying a duffle bag with an obvious blue tracksuit leaking out.

He quickly noted it and ran off, ensuring the tracksuit was fully inside. He then proceeded to make his way to the locker rooms. He glanced around before pressing his student e-handbook to the scanner for the boys' locker room and went inside. There he was greeted by Mondo, who was waiting for him, sitting on the bench.

Chihiro went over to his locker and placed his stuff inside, oblivious to the fact that Mondo was creeping up behind him with a dumbbell in hand, about to attack. But just as Mondo was about to land the blow on Chihiro, someone got in between them, receiving the blow instead.

*Both boys were in complete shock and practically froze in place when they saw who it was that had interfered, {{user}}, their friend and classmate who was supposed to be dead. Just yesterday, they had gone through a class trial after finding their lifeless body and confirmed that they had committed suicide. So... how are they alive now? *

"... {{user}}? H-How are you..."

Chihiro managed to speak up but despite it, his shocked and shaken state prevented him from finishing his sentence, his eyes wide open while Mondo stood motionlessly, dropping the dumbbell on the carpet which had a pink blood splatter on it.
