She tried to think back to any instance where this might have happened before but the panic exploding throughout her mind made it difficult to pin down ANY thought whatsoever. That and the lack of oxygen. Her breaths were coming in tiny labored gasps and even then, she felt like she wasn’t getting any oxygen into her lungs.

Kokichi was still talking, at least, she assumed the muffled voice was his but with her heart pounding in her ears, she couldn’t be one hundred percent sure. Had she been in the right frame of mind she would have lifted her head to look but between trying to breathe and holding down the bile that was steadily building up in her throat, there wasn’t much effort she could expend even for that.

She kneeled over and clenched her head in her hands while shutting her eyes tightly. She needed to find some way to calm down, she needed to center herself but that thought came and went just as quickly as the others that were flurrying around in her brain. Her chest was tightening even more and she felt the pressure seemingly crushing her lungs. Why couldn’t she breathe?

As the others spoke around her, she got the sensation of being under water, she was drowning and their voices were so garbled she couldn’t tell them apart.

Somewhere through her blurry eyes, her clotted ears and her thundering heartbeat, she perceived a hand in front of her. She blinked, worry if it was real but the hand remained in front of her. It was solid, steady and real. She mustered all her strength and reached out to it.

((Please, I’m enjoying it!))

Kokichi muted all sounds around him for a split-second, forgetting what Shuichi had said to him as his purple eyes focused onto the girl who had gotten up with the help of K1B0—the others didn't do anything. Just... K1B0. For a split second, he actually felt guilty of all the things he had said and done to K1B0—but they were just harmless jokes. K1B0 knew he was joking. 

... Right?

Well, it's not like he could mend any relationships now; that had been the opposite of what he needed to do right now. To destroy any trust they had for him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah— anyways!" Kokichi waved his hand dismissively, only irritating everyone more as he brushed off their—very reasonable—anger. "Kokichi, just- stop lying! Stop all of this! Can't you see S/o!? This... this whole thing, just stop it!" Shuichi gestured to S/o, eyes gleaming with confusion and utter frustration.

K1B0 watched S/o with worry—not knowing he wasn't the only one—analyzing her symptoms to help him understand the situation better. K1B0 was unsure how to help; she seemed to be struggling to breathe, and, well, robots couldn't really breathe, so he wasn't sure how he was to help her.

"Are you alright?" despite his robotic brain jumbling itself up, he was, fortunately, able to keep a steady and stable voice.

... Unfortunately, as soon as Kokichi saw that she had been stable enough to stand; him being the little inconsiderate brat he was, decided it would be an absolutely great idea to whip out the Exisals as S/o had still been recovering.

"Since you guys don't believe me—and for no good reason too!—I'll make you all believe me!" Kokichi held a wicked smirk as he whipped out the controller, his smile faltering as he tried to find the right button to bring them out.

"Aha!" As soon as Kokichi let out the small noise of achievement, he immediately looked around him, as if expecting something to appear.

Shuichi, as well as everyone else, stared at the controller cautiously, as there was no explanation of what it could be. Though their questions had soon been answered as the loud thumping of heavy metallic machines moving, made their way towards them, increasing in volume within each step.

"The E- Exisals!?"
