Before she is executed, Celestia gives the key to the locker where Alter Ego is hidden to Kyoko.ĭuring their time in hiding, Alter Ego managed to decode as much data as they could from the laptop, which includes various pictures of Class 78th before the Killing School Life occurred much to the shock and confusion of the remaining students. This results in the murders of Kiyotaka and Hifumi, and later the execution of Celestia after the class trial. She takes Alter Ego and places them in another locker in the Public Bathhouse, later lying to Hifumi that Kiyotaka took Alter Ego for himself. Both Hifumi and Kiyotaka quickly develop a bitter rivalry over Alter Ego's attention.Ĭelestia Ludenberg uses Hifumi and Kiyotaka's rivalry to her advantage for her murder plot. However Alter Ego was only interested in what Hifumi shared with them because given that they were a program designed to learn and grow and seek out new informaton.

Without telling the other students, Chihiro took the laptop and began to work on it.

It is heavily implied that this is the basis for Alter Ego.Ī school laptop was discovered by the remaining students in the Library following the first execution, only to find it didn't work.
