Unfaithful

Everything Falls Apart Right Before Their Eyes

   Nagito pushes open the door at the end of the passage, leading into the cell at the end of the hall. I can't help but think life would be so much easier if Toko and Komaru were stuck in this cell but life isn't that simple of course. Besides, I don't think this cell has been used in years.

Dusting ourselves off we emerge from the cell. Nagito hooks his arm through mine, flashing me a reassuring smile. "Ready, love?"

I nod. "Let's go."

We begin making our way through the dungeon keeping our eyes out for the cell containing Toko and Komaru. It doesn't take long to find them either.

About halfway down the hall, we stumble across a cell containing a very-skinny purpled haired girl and her brunette girlfriend. Both have sunken faces and look incredibly malnourished.

"Komaru! Toko!" Sonia cries out anxiously, clutching the bars of the cell.

Komaru slowly raises her head and looks at us with a dull look in her eyes. ". . .Sonia. Why. . .you should be far away from here by now. Some guards will be by soon to make sure we're still here. . ," Tears well in her eyes, "they've been starving us, Sonia! Starving us and beating us! Toko hasn't even spoken in two days. . ."

Fury fills the entirety of the blonde princess's face. "What. Did. You. Just. Say?! They have been doing that to you, my precious friends?! Why?!"

". . .Punish us. For all of our shady deeds. And to get the location of the four of you-information that we couldn't give up if we wanted to! They think we kidnapped you all! We-. . .Sonia, why would you even come back?!"

"We had an inkling you guys weren't being treated fairly here. You should not be down here in the first place! So we are here for you two, who have done so much for me over the years. We are going to tell the truth and save you too. . .no matter the cost for us." Sonia explains slowly.

Komaru stands up abruptly, slamming her hand against the iron bars. "We can't possibly be worth that, Sonia! This is your life we're talking about here! Four lives!"

"We do not care, Komaru Naegi! None of us! It is only marriage, after all." Sonia straightens up, "Now please excuse us, and hold on a little longer; we shall now go work on releasing you two, or at least better treatment!"

With those decisive words, she spins on her heel and begins storming down the hall, not leaving the rest of a choice but to trail after her.

I'm not entirely sure how exactly it happened, but Sonia Nevermind has become the leader of sorts of our little group. She would make a fine ruler of Jabberwock-she'd probably be able to straighten all the unruly people out. But she would also be a fine heir of Hope as well. Is she first-in-line to the throne or second?

"Nagito?" I whisper, "Who's older, you or Sonia?"

"We were both born in the same year," He answers, "however my birthday comes first in April, as Sonia was born later on in October."

"So you're first in line?"

"I guess so. And you and Chiaki?"

"Oh, I was born before her."

So Sonia is second in line. But she is currently set to become Queen of Jabberwock as she is being married off to me. The people will surely love her. And Chiaki will charm the Nation of Hope for certain.

"Why do you ask?" Nagito asks as we begin the walk up to the dungeon entrance, cutely tilting his head to the side.

"Oh-I was just wondering which couple would rule where. Since Sonia is a second-in-line and I am a first, I'll be taking her back to preside over Jabberwock one day, when my parents die." I explain awkwardly.
