Chương 18: ...What do I do now..?
"So basically, some.. man.. put a flesh bud into my forehead. I wasn't myself. But now I guess I have to thank this kid for saving me." - Fugo said.
"Kid? I'm eighteen. Anywho, first my own friend and now.. this. GREAT! Fantastic, actually." - I said, facepalming.
"Do you know who did this to them and me?" - Fugo asked me.
"My dad. Dadsuki Brando. And I need to go to the Literature Club to tell my friends about this. They also have whatever we just used to fight."
"They're also stand users?" - Narancia asked, confused.
"Yeah, that! It's almost time for the clubroom activities anyway."
"So what's your plan? I'm assuming your club is in a school, and we're not exactly in uniforms."
I looked at them and realized that only students get uniforms. But either way, the clubroom activities happen when only janitors are around.
"We'll just have to sneak in. And if anybody asks, you three are part of the Literature Club."
Fugo then saw they had no choice, they followed me into the school and we hurried into the clubroom.
"I'M SORRY I'M LATE, MONI– Huh..? Where is Monika?" - I opened the door, but only saw Sayori leading the club activities, with Yuri, Lily and Atsui inside.
"I don't know.. I haven't heard from her in a while.." - Atsui replied, looking back at me.
I guess a common worry between me and Atsui is now Monika.. I looked at the others and they shrugged.
I knew something was off.. I mean, I remember me and Monika spent time together in the past, she can't just be gone. I looked at Fugo and said: "I'll be back in a few, I need to take care of something alone."
"W-What- What do you mean "alone"? You can't just run off on your own, you might do something stupid." - Fugo lectured me.
"Trust me, or don't! I honestly just want to do what I need to do now." - As I said that, I went out of the clubroom and sprinted to Monika's house. I stopped at her gate. I jumped to the balcony of her room on the first floor and opened the window.
"Just as I suspected, her stuff is still here.. Is she missing..?" - I thought to myself.
I got in and closed the window, looking at the photo we took when we were still dating. I sighed and started exploring her house for clues.
"Good thing Atsui isn't here.." - I thought, while going into the living room.
For a moment, I heard static and I looked at my own body, noticing I wasn't glitching this time..
That sound came from the basement..
I walked over to the door to her basement and tried to open it but it was locked. Expected to be honest.. Someone like her wouldn't leave her things unattended even while she's missing. I took one of my hairpins and tried to unlock the door.
*....Click*
I opened the door, and went downstairs. I wasn't particularly a fan of the atmosphere.. Static and glitching was always a sign of a corrupted file, and my past proves that my guard should never be down.
As I finally arrived downstairs, the first thing I noticed as I arrived downstairs, a giant monitor and some machines. The monitor was giving sound and image, so I turned to it, it was somehow broadcasting the void and what was happening in it..
"M-MONIKA!?" - I said, taken aback.
She was glitching and the void must have corrupted her file. I'm not sure how long she'd been there. She was facing the window of the classroom but suddenly turned to the monitor.
"N-Natsuki?.. How did you get in there?! You're able to see me..?" - Monika started wondering.
Thousands of questions flew in my mind but I snapped out of it and held onto the desk, asking: "Who put you in there?! What the hell happened?"
"....Killer.Chr did this. It was all his doing. I can't get out with my keyboard, I tried before."
"H-He did this..? Do you know where I can find him..?!"
"….."
There was a moment of silence, while we looked at each other. I knew she had to know something.. I wasn't going crazy, she was real and talking to me.
"Yeah.. He goes by the name "Seth".. That's all I know from the recordings.."
I looked at her in shock.
"N..No.. That- That can't be right.. I mean, Seth.. I met him at the park.. Was he.. was monitoring me without me knowing about it..?" - I thought to myself.
"Th-Thanks.. That's really all I need to know." - I answered.
Suddenly, the live broadcast of the void ended and I heard a voice behind me.
"Don't. Move." - It was Seth's voice.
RTTC came out on instinct as I replied: "You can't kill me now. You know that, right?"
He smirked.
"But you also are aware of the fact that, even if you know my true identity, you won't be able to do anything about it. I will still monitor you, you will have to pretend to get along with me. Otherwise, your friends will assume you're going insane." - He said, near my ear.
RTTC tried to reach for his neck but his stand's tentacles prevented me from doing so as he said: "Stubbornness.. You're just like your father."
"You bet I am. Where the hell is he?! I know he's not dead, he's too prideful and too damn stubborn to let anyone kill him."
"You guys are playing hide and seek now. You're the seeker. Good luck."
