Rebirth (Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc X OC)

Chapter 49: Crossing A Line

...

...

...

It was as if time had stopped.

Like... time had completely stopped.

Everyone wasn't moving, wasn't breathing, wasn't making a peep...

As, they all gazed at the picture that fell out of my pocket.

Makoto: Sayaka... w-what is this...?

Sayaka: Erm... uhh...

"This was... really bad."

"Really, really, REALLY bad!"

Instinctively, I try to grab the picture and hide it, but I accidentally did it with my right hand...

And, an unimaginable spike of pain rushed through my right arm.

Sayaka: AHH!

Clenching my wrist in pain, I then look to see Genocide Jill crouch over me. She then tilts her head and examines the picture on the ground...

Before letting out a loose cackle.

Genocide Jill: Kyeehahahaha! Oh my oh my oh MY! You have a LOT of explaining to do, Ms. Idol!

"I... really do, huh?"

I then look up to see all of the questioning glances from the students in the dining hall.

Makoto: S-Sayaka...

I then look to see Hina slowly get up from the ground and looked at Junko walking over. She then crouches down and grabs the picture.

Junko: Huh... that's interesting... This was just like when Apollo and I found a picture back then...

She then looks up from the picture to glare at me.

Junko: Where... where did you find this? And why are YOU in the picture!?

Sayaka: I-I... I-I...!

Junko: Spit it out already! You're raising a LOT of suspicions right now!

I really wanted to...

But... I couldn't.

I was panicking. I was at a loss for words.

Sayaka: ...

Junko: Wait... wait wait wait...

She glances at the picture and glances back at me.

Junko: D-Don't tell me... S-Sayaka...!?

Sayaka: W-What...? 

Junko: Don't tell me... YOU'RE the mastermind!?

Everyone there gasped in shock as the bold claim hung in the air.

Sayaka: N-No! W-What makes you think that!?
