## History

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

Kotaro is first found sleeping in a hallway by Shinku, who wakes him up and introduces himself. Kotaro does the same, spouting facts about sleep. Kotaro would ask Shinku to ask him trivial questions, but Shinku would ask him where they are and what he knows, to which he didn't have an answer, but he did see other people in the lab. Kotaro then falls back asleep, a MonoPad falling out of his pocket, and Shinku finds he has one too.

Kotaro, along with the others, is soon called to the lecture hall. Once there, Mononeko would come out from behind the stage and inform them of the nature of the killing game; that all but one of them had committed a crime without due punishment, their imprisonment acting as rehabilitation. Kotaro leaves soon after learning this.

Later that night while all the students are in their dorms, Mononeko broadcasts the first three crimes on the monitors. Ismene's is first, and Kotaro's is second, revealing that he faked his grades and bribed prestigious schools into accepting him, buying him his talent. The last crime shown is Mint's.

#### Chapter 1

The next morning, Kotaro joins the others on a communal breakfast in the dining hall. When Ismene walks in, the group becomes hostile to her due to her crime. Kotaro attempts to change the conversation to the muffins Mint had made, but Emilia asks him about his crime, to which he starts to cry. After Ismene, Dracul and Shinku leave, Kotaro stays behind in the dining hall with the others.

The next morning, Ismene takes Kotaro to the sterilisation room and meets up with the other girls in order to get them to forgive her. They then engage in a ritual to appease a god to fulfill their wishes, forming a circle around Kotaro to use him as a sacrifice.

After the gathering, Kotaro receives a motive video depicting someone close to him taken as a hostage. After he receives said motive video, he cries in the corner of Asuga's room, traumatised by the ritual that had been performed on him. The next afternoon, Kotaro and the others are called to the lecture hall to be informed of a tea party Yui is throwing. Kotaro agrees to attend, and offers to make the food for the party with Eiichi.

The group splits up to prepare for the party, Kotaro going to the library to find cookbooks and extra ingredients. Maiko goes with him, and she takes the vanilla flavouring in the library, saying she knew of a chemical that would enhance the flavour. Kotaro goes alone back to the food court, and he and Eiichi prepare the food after Maiko drops off the vanilla. Shinku and Yui walk in soon after they start on their way to the biodome, and Kotaro and Eiichi let them know that all the food will have to be vanilla flavoured as vanilla was the only flavour available. Kotaro also mentions he's making a six-foot tall cake.

When the tea party starts, the group hears the sound of Ismene screaming, so Dracul runs off to investigate. Kotaro enters the biodome shortly after, wheeling in the giant cake he'd prepared and eating with Maiko and Yui. Soon, they all pass out. An unknown amount of time later, Kotaro and the others wake up to see Dracul's corpse sat on the cake, his eyes and intestines used as decorations. The Body Discovery announcement goes off and Ismene, Alora and Kiyoshi join the others.

Kotaro stays in the biodome during the investigation, worriedly questioning is that's what the cake has been used for, and wondering if it was his fault. During the trial, he initially blames Ismene for Dracul's murder, but he eventually votes for Maiko.
