Nope, this most certainly had to be a dream! This was way too dark to be a simple prank, not to mention expensive to run. Seriously, in what world does a two-toned teddy bear force sixteen human adults to kill each other to leave? What was this, a video game? When the carnage sisters guided Krista to her own room, which seemed to be right opposite the Infinite Knight's room, Krista made doubly sure that the door remained lock behind her before she explored her room.
Krista wasn't a patient at Axis Mundi, so she wasn't surprised to see that her room was pretty plain. The only things that were in her room were the things she remembered leaving in Herman's room whenever she would visitβ an old blanket, a few books for Herman to read, some scented candles and a record player, with a neat stack of CDs beside it on top of a small desk close to the hospital bed. Krista was glad to see that she still had Mozart, Beethoven, and Wagner to put her to sleep. Hell, there was even a cute violin stand in the corner of the room for her to use! She was sure that the stand wasn't her own, but she appreciated the thing nonetheless.
On top of the hospital bed was a gift she didn't recognise. Approaching it, Krista realised it was the gift Monokuma was talking about in Theatre Therapy. A Braille Othello board game. Krista didn't find Othello all too interesting, so she supposed that it would just collect dust in the corner of the room. As much as she would love to give the gift to someone who would appreciate it, she didn't want to imply she was going to kill them. Dream or not, Krista wasn't going to be that stupid.
Krista placed the board game, along with the pieces, on top of the desk beside her record player, forgetting about it immediately after and going right to sleep.
And when Krista woke up that following morning? It took all her willpower to not curse the bear and dolls' existence. She had woken up in her room, alright, but it meant that this nightmare was still not over with. Did that mean she really was stuck here, and this was not just in her imagination? Her stomach twisted in anxiety as she thought about her brother again. Was he alright? Did Monokuma do anything to hurt him? Krista slid out of her bed, her hands shaking as her mind raced with unpleasant thoughts.
Coffee. She needed it if she was going to have to actually deal with this shitstorm of a nightmare. Though she vowed to never touch hospital coffee again, she believed that this wasn't really Axis Mundi so it didn't really matter so much. With her E-handbook carefully placed in the pocket of her dress, and her violin carefully tucked into its case and securely strapped to her back, Krista left her room in search of a warm drink. Right outside her room was Shona, a man holding beads (she didn't question it, to each their own), and a blonde man holding a swordβ she could only hope that the thing wasn't sharpened.
After a little "exploration" of the first floorβ no, she was not already lostβ Krista found the break room. Inside was occupied by only one person, surprisingly enough. She stifled a laugh, watching from the doorway as the giant devoured his sandwich like a starved man. Taking one step inside, she spoke out loud to him. "I have the weirdest tromboner right now."
Yes, she had to make that joke. She saw the opportunity, and she took it.
