Where am I?

I'm in a white room... that's if you could call it a room. There wasn't any walls or even a floor. I seem to just be standing on... air...

'Hey Hajime'

My eyes widen at the voice. I turn my head around and see... him...

'Nagito!' I shout, running towards him and throwing myself into his arms, 'What happened? Where am I? Are we dead?'

Nagito wraps his arms around me. 'No... we aren't dead, but we're not alive... not yet anyway.'

'Huh?'

'None of it was real. Monokuma, the killing game... It was all just a simulation.'

'So that means... everyone is alive?'

He smiles sadly. 'Yeah... but they're all in a coma. They will wake up, but I don't know when...'

'So... if I wake up, I might be stuck without you for years?'

'Yeah...'

Tears form in my eyes. 'I can't... I can't do this... I can't lose you again...'

'You can,' Nagito says, looking me in the eyes, 'It's nearly over... You'll see me again soon...'

'No!' I shout, but it was too late. Nagito had already vanished.

'You'll see me again soon... '

I take a deep breath. No matter what, I will see him again. No matter what.

I open my eyes.
