After being shot at by a carnage sister at her doorstep, Krista had hoped that was the last time she would have to see anybody β or thing β for the rest of the day. She let out a tired yawn and looked at the gift in her hand: hair ties. But it was all too vague: wouldn't anyone qualify for this gift? She eyed the board game for Aleecia still on her desk beside the bed. Why couldn't she get an obvious gift this time round as well?
Krista pulled out her handbook, scrolling through the list of infinites to remind herself of those that were around that could make use of such a gift. Most of the guys were out on the basis of their hair being just too short to tie up, but the image Krista thought of as she imagined someone as proper as Cyrus or
"snazzy" as Davis with a ridiculous looking
man bun made her giggle. Looking through the list of infinites, it appeared that the most suitable candidate to receive this gift was likely Caora. Who else would rock the darker colours, it would definitely be that cutie.
With that decided upon, Krista closed her eyes once more, intending to catch up on some well-deserved sleepβ
βI-I'm sorry that took so long.βThe monitor in her room flickered on and the sight of a carnage sister β the sad one, made Krista jolt up in her bed. She didn't feel as tired anymore as she listened to Killgood, who had taken over for Nariko, explain the prize for a special someone to be allowed to make a single phone call to anyone they desired, regardless of whether they knew them. Krista's mouth widened into a grin. She could call her brother! She could finally see if he was okay!
She slid out of bed, gift in her hand. The idea that it could've been a trap by Monokuma never crossed her mind. In fact, she
wished she could get that ticket.
...She regretted her wish immediately.
Krista arrived at the casino on her own, just after Shaun and Caora. Whilst still waiting for the others to arrive, Krista quickly slid beside the trap, barely suppressing her squee at how ridiculously
cute he was, before presenting her gift to the boy. To her surprise, Caora had Krista's gift as well. She gave the boy a grateful hug just as the last infinite arrived at the casino room.
Nariko then rolled the giant wheel, the object spinning until it was her chip that was chosen by the wheel of fate. Krista barely had a chance to celebrate before the true meaning behind her win was revealed. She had won the motive. She could only call her brother once someone is killed. She regretted her wish
so much. She knew she couldn't just
kill someone, but Krista wasn't sure about anybody else. Killgood just made her the target of seventeen people. Krista would've thrown her handbook at the two-toned bastard if she could be certain that doing so wouldn't trigger her immediate death.
The violinist remained quiet, twisting her fingers and avoiding the gaze of others except one. She made eye contact (accidental, on her part) with one of the newer infinites. Whilst she couldn't remember a name after her brief scan of the list of infinites earlier that day, she did remember that he was an officer. The officer began speaking in an authoritative tone, leaving no room to argue as he suggested to guard the handbook at all times β did that mean she was getting her own bodyguard?
"Mr Visser is right. We can't let this opportunity slip by us, but it doesn't mean we have to kill anybody for it. All we have to do is just look around, the telephone has got to be somewhere." Lucas piped in, nodding at the officer.
"But the bear said that the telephone will only appear after a trial," she finally spoke.
"And loaning my handbook out is not an option, I have no intention of dying anytime soon. I'm not against having two people guard the handbook but..." Krista gave everyone a look.
"I'll be honest. I want to talk to my brother. I need to know if he's okay. I'm sure some of you have someone out there you want to know is okay as well... which is why I promise I will not hurt anyone or let someone die on my watch." Krista then looked at Mondatta last, feeling the metallic hand on her shoulder.
"Alright." She turned back to the infinites.
"To honour what Mr Officer just said, does anyone wanna join Mr Mondatta and I at the library?"
