All All Apologies: #08 (Ab) Normal Days is the eighth episode of the Danganronpa: The Animation. It first aired on August 22, 2013.

Summary
Makoto Naegi overhears that Sakura Ogami had been forced to become Monokuma's mole as he took her family hostage. As Makoto feels he should not jump to conclusions until he has talked to Sakura, Kyoko Kirigiri becomes annoyed with him for keeping secrets from her.

After exploring the fourth floor, containing some locked rooms that Monokuma forbids breaking into, the girls catch up with Alter Ego, who reports that Hope's Peak Academy was shut down due to a certain incident, also theorising that the school's true principal is the one pulling the strings. He also discovers another strange photo, this time of Sayaka Maizono, Celestia Ludenberg and Hifumi Yamada together.

Afterwards, Monokuma announces to everyone that Sakura is the mole, hoping to bring about another murder. As Aoi Asahina becomes angered with the mean words said about Sakura, she ends up getting into a scrape with Toko Fukawa, now in her Genocide Jack persona, leaving Sakura angered that innocent people got involved. Meanwhile, Alter Ego asks Makoto and Kyoko, who forgives Makoto for staying quiet about Sakura, to take him to somewhere where he can connect to the school network so he can find a way to help the students escape.

Despite knowing the risks involved, Makoto and Kyoko decide to respect his wishes and set him up in the hidden room from before. Later, Makoto, Kyoko and Hina discover Sakura in the recreation room, which has been locked from the inside, and break inside, only to discover she is dead. As Kyoko conducts her investigation, Hina shows her anger towards Byakuya Togami, Toko, and Yasuhiro Hagakure, feeling one of them is responsible for Sakura's death.
