Class 65The doors at the back of the courtroom blast open, and from them flies forth a pair of mechanical claws, obviously designed to grab the accused by the neck and drag them kicking and screaming to their deaths.
Sasha leaps, snatching at the one grabbing for Pedro, but to her shock, the second one grabs
her, and she can't stop the two of them from being sucked through the doorway into darkness.
Something strikes her head, and she's unconscious.

Execution Pedro Amazonia! ~(Love Love Falling from Love)~Sasha awakens to find herself sealed in what seems to be a glass box. As she straightens, she notices a small anomaly within the otherwise featureless box; a small podium with a pair of buttons on it. The buttons are labeled “Save Pedro” and “Save Family”, and underneath is a small speaker and what could possibly be a microphone. When she turns her eyes outside of her glass prison cell, she reels back in shock.
The room consists of two glass tubes and a glass box. Sasha is inside the glass box, and the floor is solid steel, but in the tubes sit a small group of people. As well, a large timer emerges from the wall, counting down from four minutes.
Pedro is in the left-most tube, looking as if he's trying to calm himself down and control his breathing. Beads of sweat occasionally roll down his face. Underneath him is an iris, obviously opening to the outside.
In the other is her slowly awakening family. Mother, Father, Little Sister... They're all there. And as her father comes awake, he looks at Sasha as if he'd never seen her before. The same iris from Pedro's tube is here as well, it's purpose as clear as day.
Today Monokuma won't be executing someone.
Sasha will.
“Gooooooooooood Morning!~” Comes Monokuma's voice. Judging from the reactions of Pedro and Sasha's family, they heard his voice as well. “Everyone! Today I'm pleased to announce that I won't be killing ANYONE! Isn't that just great?!”
“S-So we won't be killed?!” Stutters Mr. Viola. “T-then you'll let us go, right?”
“Of course you'll be killed, silly!” Comes the saccharine reply.
Mr. Viola scrabbles for his daughter and wife, gripping them tightly. “Oh god. N-Natasha, close your ears sweetie...” he says in Russian. His young daughter, probably no older than five, clings to one of his arms, tears already rolling down her face.
Pedro simply sits still, his breathing finally controlled.
“But I won't be the one who decides who dies today... Sasha Viola will!”
Natasha Viola begins to sob. Monokuma puts the sound through the speakers, letting the sound of a bawling child fill each cell. In Sasha's cell, she notices the buttons light up.
“Save Pedro”
“Save Family”
A little bit of bile rolls up her throat.
“L-listen, Lady, Ma'am, please.” Says Mr. Viola, starting to cry himself. “I don't care what happens to me, but please,
please, let my daughter live! She hasn't done anything worth this! She's only five!”
Pedro finally speaks as well. “I know you'll make the right decision, Sasha. You're the
Ultimate Hero after all... Please, don't try to save me.”
