Kokichi tried to go back to being his normal self, hiding all his pain within actions and words. He really didn't know any other way to live life. "AHAHHAHAHAH!! You figured out the murderer yet?" Monokuma joined the room. "Well too bad, Class Trial starts soon!" it said before disappearing into dust. Kaede went over and helped Shuichi, even though she's not all that good at being a detective.
"Are you just going to stand there and do nothing?" Kaito growled. "We're having a class trial soon and you're just standing there laughing?" Kokichi caught a glimpse of Shuichi look up at them and back down at his notebook.
"I-"
"Just stay there! You're not good for anything anyway." Kaito walked away, leaving Kokichi with those thoughts and insecurities. "I know." He whispered under his breath.
At that moment he felt his shirt being pulled, Shuichi had somehow managed to hear him. "Don't say that about yourself!" Shuichi started yelling. The whole room fell silent but Shuichi continued. "The words 'I'm fine' don't work on me." Shuichi's eyes starting filling with tears. Suddenly Shuichi hugged him. he buried his head into Kokichi's shoulder and Kokichi could feel tears along his back. Kokichi was frozen in shock. "Someone... actually cares?" he stuttered. It wasn't long before Kokichi felt his tears falling out. He hugged back, trying to process what was happening.
Everyone else in the room just stared. "Kokichi! Get your filthy hands on him!" Maki yelled. Neither of the two were listening though.
Shuichi pulled away, still feeling tears burning on his cheeks. He pulled Kokichi by the wrists, making Kokichi wince with the former scars. They went to the only room where there was no cameras or people.
"Now." Kokichi knew exactly what the question was about to be. "Are you comfortable to tell me yet?"
Kokichi knew he'd have to do it at some point. But before he could speak, he started coughing again. Shuichi ran to Kokichi's side, he pulled him in close, and said words that Kokichi had never heard before from anyone.
"I'm.. here." Kokichi's eyes widened before he coughed harder. Blood poured onto Shuichi's shirt.
"Saihara-chan, you have to let go... I'm.. getting blood.. on your shirt." Shuichi remained where he was, frozen. After Kokichi's coughing died down, just the slightest, Kokichi was finally able to give Shuichi an answer to the question.
He took a deep breath. "It's y-"
"CLASS TRIAL IS STARTING!!"
