I'm avoiding spoilers as best as I can in this post so you can read away. I just wanted to give a special archive post on one of the most dramatic and saddest episodes yet. It involves many characters and their trauma towards a recent death (the terms "death" and "her" will be the only spoiler in this post so you can read on). This is an excerpt from Episode 241, titled "Revenge" and it will be published on June 1st. I will censor out anything (with anything regarding an "x") that I find gives the answer on who the death is from.
In this scene, a girl runs towards the group (Matt, Shirley, Yessenia, Jon, Jaime, Winny, and ??? (another character censored here)) and tells them the bad news about her friend's death. This has brought the girl into stubbornness as she blames the main group that her friend died. As Matt and Shirley learn about this, Shirley blames herself for the person's death and Matt decides he cannot take anymore of his friends' deaths after he already lost so many in the story so far.
Excerpt starts:

The girl with xxx clothing headed
closer to Matt’s group. The girl’s hair covered her eyes as she ran with her
head facing down. “Hey, I think it’s Xxx!” Jaime guessed.
Shirley cheered. “OH MY GOSH!!! Did
we actually find her?! Xxx! XXX! We’re over here!”
Matt ran towards her first. “It
really is her. This is awesome! Xxx, where did you come from?” He said in
extreme joy. “I’m so glad you’re okay-…” As Xxx reached the group, she grabbed
onto Matt and she was still facing the floor. Her body was vibrating in fear.
“Xxx?” Matt changed his tone. “What is it?”
“X-X-X… She… She…!” The group
listened carefully. Xxx’s sadness turned into regret and uncontrollable anger.
“You guys… you’re all here. And you couldn’t save her! Nobody could?!” Shirley
watched in guilt as she said nothing. She was starting to understand the
situation. Matt’s eyes widened as he began to understand as well. “Xxx… is…
She’s gone! FOREVER!” She began to punch Matt softly in the chest. “She said
everything will be fine. She promised everything would be okay. But nobody was
able to save HER, of all people! And then once she disappeared, you guys decide
to show up… and… Become useless?!”
Shirley remembered when she herself
was the one who wanted come to the Elemental Challenges, so she brought along Xxx which included Xxx. “She’s… ‘gone’…?” She began to fall on
her knees as she began crying.
Jaime tried to help her stand. Matt
closed his eyes. Xxx was kneeling down as well. “Matt… They all… laughed.
Almost a thousand men laughed at her jump off the cliff… because they wanted to
find out where I was. They blamed me. They blamed me for running away, and
because of that, we’re all stuck here in this place. I couldn’t get myself to
stop them from cheering. They continued to laugh. All of them – laughing
obnoxiously as she died in front of their eyes.”
Matt’s fists were clenching.
Yessenia and Jon looked away in shame. Winny stopped petting her Changmin ball.
Jaime whispered to Shirley, “Shirley, come on, it’s alright. You can get up-…”
“No, it’s not alright! I’m the one
who actually brought Xxx into the Elemental Challenges. Because of that, she
was caught and sent into the prison and now she’s here, gone!” Jaime tried to grab her arms but she
slapped him away. “DON’T. TOUCH. ME.” She stood up and ran off.
Jaime was surprised. “Sh-Shirley…”
“Move.” Matt said to Xxx with his
monotone voice.
Jon took a step forward. “H-HEY!
That’s cold!”
Xxx looked up with her tears running
down her cheeks. “Get out of my way.” Matt said. It seemed as though his
cheerful mood while arguing with Shirley earlier had suddenly… changed into
something completely different.
??? was watching Matt leave on his
own. “Matt…”
Jon tried to grab Matt’s shoulders.
“You idio-…” Yessenia grabbed his arm. Jon turned around in frustration and
Yessenia only shook her head in disappointment. This was the signal for Jon to
not interfere. Jon turned away. “Xxx… I really liked her, damn it. I was
going to tell her once we come back to Earth that we could be together. But
now…”
Xxx crawled off to the side as the
whole group watched Matt slowly walk the same direction as where Xxx came from.
“Where are you going?” Yessenia asked. Matt ignored her. Yessenia, for once,
raised her voice at Matt, “WHERE, ARE YOU GOING?” Matt stopped and then he
simply raised his right hand up as he continued. Yessenia was surprised. Even
Matt stood up against her voice. ??? looked over at Matt and then at Yessenia
simultaneously until he decided he had to follow Matt.

Excerpt ends.
This dramatic scene will change some of the characters possibly forever or for a very long time. No more jokes for these students as they are only halfway through their high school career. Things will get worse from here on out.
