## History

Yui wakes up with tear streaming down her face, and she scrambles around for her glasses. She manages to take sight of a hooded figure with a bloodied pipe in their hands, they refer to as Black Cape. Yui scoots away only to touch back with a deceased girl leaning against the wall, bloodstains covering the area. The hooded figure then leaves and Yui manages to follow after finding her glasses. She then manages to find herself in a similar room, now with 2 coffins at the end. Opening them both, 2 other schoolgirls are revealed to be confined- Tsukiyo Nada & Nazuna Tōakitsu, both students of St. Anne’s Academy, an all-girls' school.

Yui then explains her motives on how she received the case and other details, and to prove her point she held out the deceased girl from earlier's ID, who was Hana Takezaki, also from the same school as the other 2 girls. They start forming a plan on how to evade the hooded figure, not before Yui asking the two on how they've managed to find themselves in the position prior. After the talk, Yui goes on ahead to find clues while the others stay behind, ordered to scream in case the culprit reveals themselves again. Walking out into the corridor she also scours various locations such as the bathrooms and other corridors, only to find that various exits and paths are blocked. She also sees a statue with the key on its neck and contemplates breaking the statue but hesitates. Instead she lifts the statue's pieces and obtains the key a safer way, returning to the coffin room again in order to free the two schoolgirls from their restraints. They then explore the rest of the building along with the victim's state.

When they try to leave the room however, it seemed that the door would not open, so Yui muses that it must be some sort of trick on how the building was designed. Time passes and they discuss the tricks and the plan, with Yui attempting to write down some info on a scrap of paper.

They talk about the details on how the murder methods were in place when they woke up, and then concluded that the trick was already in place when Yui woke up. Some more thoughts later conclude that the building is one giant scale. Since they are trapped in the room, they attempt to get out yet again only to fail a couple of times; The final attempt leading the room to shake, and the door can be opened. Yui does so and meets Salvador, with him offering them respite and they walk out of the room. Yui feels uneasy and manages to catch the hooded figure in her peripheral vision; Calling out to warn Salvador but is too late when the figure struck Salvador, with him falling to the ground.

Yui immediately sees this as an opportunity to stand her ground as she does so- The hooded figure 'Black Cape' backing off and attempting to run not before they tripped, with Yui tackling them only to be revealed as Sachi Mizuiyama, with her forcing a nail gun to her chest as an attempt to gain control of the situation. Yui asks her on why she killed Hana and the other responds on how they got into a conflict some time ago. Yui states that she's 'lost' the Duel Noir and Sachi responds on how she should solve the rest of the ones, and intent on keeping her prisoner until the time limit runs out. Sachi restrains her and attempts to keep her in line, not before some voices protrude from elsewhere, another group of 'detectives' having entered the building. Sachi attempts to ward them off but Yui warns them, with the strangers managing to knock out Sachi with a kick.

The strangers, who are the Ōu Daitōitsu University Myst'ry Research Society, then explain that they were originally at the Kareobana Academy Case along with Salvador Fukuro Yadorigi but they managed to tag along to this location.

The rest attempt to escape and re balance the scale, also finding Nazuna and Tsukiyo tending to a wounded Salvador, stating that they should get an ambulance.
