Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 4 Part 1

Chapter 4, Daily life

A heart of glass and an arm of steel

When I woke up, I wasn't in my room. 

I was in some kind of... School hallway. 

It was completely normal, with classrooms and lockers, and everything a school should have, but it had no windows. The walls were a murky yellow and the buzz of the ceiling lights was loud and clear. Everything looked kind of fuzzy, and I had a hard time processing anything I was seeing. I decided to walk around a bit, and eventually walked into an empty classroom. And there, I saw...

Everybody. 

Rachel: Ashlyn? 

Chloe: Ash! I was starting to think you would be the only one missing. 

Sophie: So we're all here then?

Chloe: I guess... So, now what do we do?

???: What do you mean?? You have so much to do already!

Sophie: Who-

From the back of the room, we saw someone. A girl about the same age as us, with strawberry blonde hair, a black shirt, tie, red skirt and...

Chloe: Those hair clips...

Hanako: The Monokuma hair clips! Where did you- No, who are you?

Randi: Are you the Mastermind???

???: Oh heavens no! But I'll tell you who I am! Junko Enoshima! The 54th, to be exact.

Yu Xuan: Junko... I don't think that sounds familiar...

Junko's expression changed immediately, from a cheerful and bubbly girl to a depressed sad sack. That was quick. 

Junko: Jeez... I can't believe no one knows who I am... That gives me so much despair that I could just die...

Rachel: Are you Sophie or something?

Junko's expression changed again. What's up with that?

Junko: Little ol' me? As that... Thing over there? Oh no, someone as adorable as me could never!

Sophie: That was rude.

Hanako: So what're we doing here?

Junko: Puhuhuhuhuhu! Do you not get it? But it's so obvious already!

Junko: This is your new fuckin' motive! 

Ashlyn: Motive?? Again?

Ashton: Wait, how is this a motive? We're just in this weird, fuzzy school.

Junko: Let me explain, you are all currently asleep.

Randi: What.

Sumana: So... We're dreaming?

Junko: Indeed. I see you're a smart one.

Ashlyn: So that's why this school feels so weird, it's not real.

Ashton: That still doesn't explain how this is a motive. 

Junko: You blind fucks didn't see the wristbands?

I looked down at my arm, and the was a black wristband with a word on it. The word was "Trust".

Junko: Don't go telling people your word... You people trust too easily, it'd be really despair inducing if any of you was to tell someone with ill intent...
