Two chapters into Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony, the second murder yet to occur. Our mastermind? The "Ultimate Detective", Shuichi Saihara. He hated his position as mastermind, but he dealt with it. He was given one rule:

Don't let anyone figure out that you're the mastermind.

"Oh Shuichi~!" An ever familiar voice shouted out to the mastermind. The two were currently in the library, Shuichi reading a detective novel just so he could improve his detective act.

"Ouma, what do you want?" Shuichi responded, looking back at him. Shuichi knew what to expect from him, as he specially helped in creating his fake personality.

"Well I'm bored so.. You're hanging out with me now!" The gremlin said, pulling out a packet of cards from who knows where. He started shuffling them, placing them on the table.

"Ouma, can you please learn to actually ask instead of forcing people to do what you what?" Shuichi told him, putting the book away. (And without a bookmark, how dare.)

Kokichi avoided the question, and instead went straight to playing with him. "Something seems really off about Shumai.." Kokichi thought to himself while looking at Shuichis extremely expressionless face. Reminded him of a video game he played before the killing game, he made comparisons between Shuichi and Sunny due to how similar they looked. (Bonus if you know what Sunny I'm on about.)

"Aw man, I lost." Kokichi complained about after the game, despite intentionally letting him win.

"Yeah, good game." Shuichi said, putting on a smile. Even Kokichi could tell his smile was fake, and he wondered why Shuichi of everyone would lie about his emotions. Kokichi shifted over to sit next to Shuichi, leaning on him.

"O-Ouma, what are you doing?" He said, blushing. "I would push him off me.. But I'm not heartless. I don't want to be the person who caused this killing game.." Shuichi thought to himself, looking quite upset.

"Hey, what's wrong? You went from being startled to upset so quickly!" Kokichi said, almost feeling worried about him. Kokichi wrapped his arms around Shuichi, hugging him.

"Don't worry about it Ouma." Shuichi told him. Before Shuichi even got a response, he noticed that Kokichi had fallen asleep next to him. Shuichi smiled, and pulled Kokichi closer to him. "This won't last long if he's the next one killed, might as well make it last.. I'm so sorry for causing all of this Kokichi.." He thought to himself, now hugging the boy who had fallen asleep next to him. "If I can, I'll end it this early for all of us."
