Aside from the already decrepit state of the sixth floor, there doesn't seem to be anything unusual happening. The students find themselves left curiously... alone. No motives, no murders, no Monobear, it appears. Have they done it? Have they survived long enough that the bear and presumably its master have gotten bored and moved on? Or are they just hanging by a thread, waiting for the other shoe to drop...
With a sound like buckling metal, and an almost painful sounding groan, there comes an almighty crash from the top of the building, audible even from the first floor. With really nothing else to do, the students ascend to the sixth floor to investigate...
"WHAT IS THIS?!"
Popping up from nowhere (as usual), Monobear lets out a yell of indignant rage. The water is now starting to come up to the student's knees, which means that the bear is almost up to his arms in it. He splashes around irritably.
"Those bastards are still messing with my building!! You'd think after some chlorine gas and machine gun fire they'd get the message, but no, they just have to go and mess with my beautiful mall! I'll rip them to shre--"
As he says this, another hole cracks open above him, dumping a brand new waterfall on his head.
*glubglubglubglubglub*
Monobear momentarily silenced by the ceiling's ernest attempt at drowning him, the students ears catch something odd. Is that a... music box tune? It doesn't appear to be coming from downstairs, or any of them, or any of the shops. In fact, it's coming from the hole above them. It's out of their reach, and the water is pouring down from all sides, blocking their view, but they can hear it, an old and familiar tune -Â London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down...
"Geh!! I've HAD IT! FIRE ALL TORPEDOES! LAUNCH EVERY ZIG! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S COPYRIGHTED!! I'LL KILL 'EM!"
He wades off through the water shouting and swearing, eventually disappearing. Within a few minutes, the water starts to slow from above, eventually coming to a dripping stop. It drains from around their feet, cascading down the stairs. Should any of them go to try the taps now, they may find themselves disappointed. The water appears to have been shut off at the mains. Uh-oh. Hope you're not too thirsty.

The mall-goers’ IDs ping as a new section is added to their screens.
Victim:Â Inoue Daisuke
Time of Death:Â 8:15pm
Time of Discovery:Â 8:35pm
Location:Â Arcade
Cause of Death:Â Punctured lungs, multiple organ failure.
State of Body: Daisuke is propped up against the Rhythm Madness 4: Horror on the Dancefloor machine in the arcade. His body shows signs of being beaten up, along with blood from his mouth, multiple stab wounds, broken bones, and he is also missing a shoe.
State of Crime Scene:Â All the machines in the arcade are functioning accordingly. Blood has dripped and sprayed messily around where the body lies.
The evening is drawing in, though there's still about an hour and a half left to go until the stores close. Sayuri, like the proactive protagonist she is, is walking about and passes by the arcade with her book of the moment, and glances up at the flashing lights within.Â
There's something sticking out from around the corner of one of the machines. A foot? A bare foot, no less. With sudden dread, the bookseller approaches to check on the owner, but quickly finds herself much too late.
The alarm goes off. Wait, what?
"Following a brief period of investigation, we will commence our trial!"
She looks around for anyone else. She is alone, and staring down at the lifeless body of...
Inoue Daisuke, propped up against one of the rhythm game machines. Seems like whoever did this has a twisted sense of humour... but who?

Who knows how long it's been since the blackout. But then, all of a sudden, the ground begins to rumble. The lights flicker -- on, off, on, off, on -- and stay lit. And a moment later, everything goes silent.
A familiar voice comes over the intercoms, while the screens by the information kiosk and mounted around the floors light up. Just as if this had been like old times.
...
"Ehh... this is a security announcement. Now that the lights are back on, all mall-goers should report to the information kiosk immediately. Anyone who fails to comply with this wish will be eliminated."
Damn. Maybe the lights should've stayed off. But you figure it's best to not dilly-dally. You hurry to the information kiosk, where Monobear stands waiting.
"Hey there, idiots! I'm glad we finally shed some light on this despairing situation just in time for the motive. And the blackout, for the record, was totally planned! Ahaha..."
Yet he doesn't sound too certain about that.He clears his throat.
"Anyway, I have a special surprise for you all. Because I'm sure you miss your loser friends, I've decided to make a deal with you! If you get away with killing, you'll be able to bring one of your friends back to life."
Murmurs spread throughout the crowd. This can't be legitimate, can it? He's probably messing around yet again.
Monobear cackles.
"Ahahaha! Don't think I'm serious? Well, here's your proof!"
A golden retriever races out from behind the bend. His tail is wiggling and his tongue is flopping and he looks very much alive.
"Good boy, Biscuit! See, and here you thought the pet detective's little sidekick was dead. But nope, here he is. And if that's not enough proof, then what is?"
The bear's grin grows. He giggles and does a little spin before racing out. He leaves parting words with you, though:
"Get killing!"
You look over at Biscuit, who's staring happily at you all. What, are you supposed to take care of him now? Well, good thing there's a pet store.
It happens slowly and then all at once. When the lights flicker initially, you might not think much of it. After all, maybe someone's fiddling with the electronics store. Yet when it flickers again, you may begin to worry. But by then it's too late.
The world around you turns pitch black. No doubt you and those around you all freeze, waiting for Monobear to come over the intercom. And finally, he does. The intercom seems to be working, luckily, even though the power is clearly out.
"Ehh? Testing, testing. Upupupupu! Oh, good. This still seems to be in working order."
The bear clears his throat.
"And this means I have a chance to ask you: how did you manage this one, you idiots? There aren't even any power boxes around here. So 'fess up: who did this and why?"
All's quiet. You can't move and you're too afraid to speak. What... so this isn't one of his tricks?
Monobear sighs.
"Alright, alright. I'll see if the emergency lights still work. And you all better be looking for a solution soon too, because who wants to live n the dark forever?"
A moment later, small red security lights illuminate the area around you. They cast everything in an eerie red glow. Well, at least it's better than pitch black.
You wonder if he was serious about the whole 'searching for a way to turn the lights back on' thing, because if so, you have your work cut out for you.
