I have to change my name. I can still hear her yelling it when I close my eyes.
Get it out get it out get it out get her out get me out help me-
Air flooded my lungs when I sat up in bed and instinctively grabbed for my pocket knife resting on the bedside table, knocking the glass of water to the floor.
I sucked my teeth in frustration, tapping on the lamp and swinging my legs over the side of the bed.
After cleaning the water, I realised it was probably close enough to the morning announcement to justify simply beginning my morning routine.
My hair is so long that cleaning it is a separate task I usually do in the evening, so I decided to put it in a large bun at the top of my head and stuff it into a shower cap.
I waited patiently for the water in the shower to heat up, and when the steam fogged up the glass shower door I stepped inside.
The warm water ran down my body yet I still shivered. Not hot enough. I turned the knob as far as it would go, and the water scalded my skin. No matter how hard I concentrated on the burning heat, I still felt the drip of the wet rain down my back from that day. I hate showers. Not just because of the wet pulling me back to that day, but also because I don't like what I'm stuck with, you get it?
The morning announcement played as I turned the shower off and stepped out of the shower, mumbling about the lack of bath options.
The almost-boiling water had caused me to turn a slight red colour and had certainly done damage to my skin. While I usually shower hot, this was something else. I hadn't realised just how scalding it was.
My body felt like it was melting, corroding away. I sat down on my bed with the towel tightly wrapped around myself, my head pounding with every beat of my heart.
Everyone makes mistakes, I guess. This was just...a huge one. I passed out on my bed.
When I came to maybe an hour later, it was because someone was repeatedly pushing my doorbell. I sat up wearily and reached for my HandScout, seeing a pile of messages awaiting me.
Fuyuko: Hey, you're still in your room. Everything okay?
Akari: HELLOOOOOO are u ok LOL
Lada: fUyuko is making me type to you why are y/ou still in bedq1
Brittany: Dude what are u doing in there.
Hironari: We are beginning to consider breaking down your door. Is everything okay?
Kanesuki: UGH i'm trying to do something and stupid hironari won't let me leave PLEASE just come out so i can fucking leave
Among others. The wave of concern was a little overwhelming, so I decided to type to the group chat instead of one by one.
Chiyo: I'm okay, I just slept in a little. I suppose I was tired last night. Sorry.
Fuyuko: Well, as long as you're okay.
Akari: thank god i was considering suicide I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD
Kanesuki: yeah ok bye
Harmony: System announcement! Monokuma has called a meeting in the courtyard in the middle of the triangle!
Makena: Isn't that normally done over the speakers?
Harmony: Yeah, but I thought it would be nice to shake things up!
