Surrounded

Synopsis
Morning arrives in Akademi. Osana, Raibaru, Taro and Hanako try to survive in the cafeteria, while the Drama Club gets worried about Kokona as Ayano runs in to kill them. The courtyard gets refilled and Ava and Danielle leave some people a little treat.

Plot
In the morning-lit cafeteria, Osana stands at the vending machine, trying to get food but it swallows her coin, leaving her furious. Raibaru tries to get signal to call their parents, to no avail, but her smile is not wiped clean as she realises that their parents will know that they're all at school anyway. Osana is unconvinced and claims that if that were true, they'd be safe by now. Meanwhile, Hanako rummages through the bin for scraps of food or drink, leaving Osana disgusted. Taro lies asleep on a table.

Meanwhile, at the gym, the drama club (minus Kokona) stays in hiding, backstage. Riku is worried about Kokona, while Kizana is worried about the weapon Kokona left with, as it is the only one they have. Riku sighs, and begins to exit, then realises no-one is following him. He asks them why they aren't coming and Kizana replies, saying that if something did happen to her, it would be her own fault, leaving Riku angry. Kizana claims that the rest of the club tried to stop Kokona from going, but when asked how Kizana stopped Kokona, she claims with an apologetic expression that she simply opened the door for her. Riku yells at Kizana saying that she needs to help him find Kokona since it's partially Kizana's fault for Kokona going out alone. In defeat, Kizana sighs and follows Riku out of the gym. As they exit, Ayano spots them walking away.

Ayano sneaks in to the gym and balances on a clothing rail and peaks round a corner to spy on the rest of the Drama Club members in the gym. Tsuruzo asks Shozo and Tukuko who is next to be on lookout. Shozo defeatedly sighs, claiming it's his turn. He walks away and as he walks up the stairs, Ayano sinks behind the wall, unseen. She follows him up the stairs, carrying a knife and loudly stabs him in the chest, leaving her worried that Tukuko and Tsuruzo heard the murder. Unknown to Ayano, they don't, but they decide to look out from the stage since they have nothing better to do. Inches out of their sights, Ayano drags Shozo's body across to the scaffold above the stage. She drops his corpse on to the ground inches in front of Tsuruzo and Tukuko. Ayano looks down on them, laughing. Tsuruzo runs up one staircase while Tukuko runs up the other, trapping Ayano, leaving her in a panic. She runs to the other side of the gym, still on the upper floor, while Tukuko chases behind her and Tsuruzo sprints towards her from the other end. As they close in on her, Ayano stops and Tukuko tries to pin Ayano down, but Ayano catches her, and then Tukuko throws Ayano and herself off the railing, locked in a deathgrip, leaving a panicked Tsuruzo on the balcony. Tukuko is on top of Ayano, pinning her fist with the knife in away with one hand, and attempting to use the other to push Ayano down, but Ayano stops that hand with her free one. Ayano frees her knife and throws it up at Tsuruzo in the forehead, causing him to keel backwards and die. Ayano and Tukuko continue to fall, now next to each other but still in a deathgrip. Ayano pushes Tukuko quickly below her, then uses her body as a cushion, causing Tukuko to die and Ayano to be safe and sound.

Surprisingly, the Ancient Evil makes an announcement claiming that all items at the fountain have been restored. Ava and Danielle decide to go back to the fountain, thinking that they are not in much danger. They arrive and Ava comes up with an idea. She tells Danielle to get a bucket of water, while she picks up a bucket of bleach. Danielle says that they should drink it but Ava says that that is what everyone else will do, but they'll be oblivious to their 'special ingredient'.
