Danganronpa 4-Despair Loop

11

Yuma bolts awake, sitting in her bed. She pushes her covers aside, getting up painfully. As she opens her door, the events of the past couple of days hit her. She grabs onto the wall, steadying herself.

"Kayden..." Yuma tears up, pushing herself from the wall and walking toward the door. She yanks on the handle, expecting it to be locked, and the door flies open. She stumbles forward a bit, ultimately catching herself on the opposite door from hers, which coincidentally opened as well. She falls, only to be caught by someone's sturdy-feeling arms.

"Woah! I guess you're up! We've all been really worried about you!" Yuma looks up, half expecting a guy, even with the voice, and sees Miana. "Any reason why you just... fell in here? Need anything?" She smiles, helping Yuma up onto her feet.

"N-no... I'm good..." Yuma brushes herself off. "I just accidentally fell in here... Hey, why do you have your room unlocked anyways? We are in a murder school, ya know." Miana smiles at this.

"I like it open. If Yuki needs anything, she can just come in." Miana puts a hand on Yuma's shoulder, looking like she wants to open up. "I... never mind." Miana withdraws her hand.

"Never mind?" Yuma asks. Miana shakes her head, her brown hair covering even more of her face then it normally does. Yuma walks closer to her, still unsteady.

"Could you help me then? I-i mean... I'm not exactly stable right now, and judging how you caught me, you're probably the strongest one here... even though you don't look like it." Yuma smiles, and Miana smiles back and puts her arm around her shoulder, Yuma doing the same. They both walk out, though slowly, as Yuma keeps on falling. Soon enough, they both step inside of the cafeteria, where most everyone was waiting.

"You're awake! How are you feeling?" Nao almost runs over to her, but is stopped by Ayane.

"Nao, calm down." Ayane smiles, and calmly walks toward her, Nao follows.

"As good as you'd expect me to feel with what happened yesterday..." Yuma leans more on Miana, who doesn't seem to mind. Yuma looks around to see who was there and who was missing. "Yuki... Koko... Just those two arent here?"

"Nope. They went to check out the new floor." Naoto says.

"New floor?" Yuma inquires.

"Yeah. I don't know why we entrusted that big of a task to those two bitches, but we did." Izumi says, clearly annoyed with that decision.

"I-Izumi! W-what did I s-say about calling people n-names!" Sayuri elbows her slightly.

"To not. But they are, nobody's denying it, not even Miana. She knows-" Izumi rambles on, but is ultimately stopped by a voice coming from the hallway.

"Shut up." Yuki steps into the cafeteria, followed by Koko. "Oh hey Yuma." Yuki nods in Yumas direction.

"Hey Yuki.... Hey Koko..." She smiles weakly.

"And she's all depressed. Wonderful." Yuki rolls her eyes. Miana helps Yuma onto the ground, then walks over and kicks Yuki with full force. Yuki doesn't even flinch as she glares at Miana. They begin quickly exchanging conversation in Greek as they normally do. Nao walks over to Yuma and hugs her tightly, surprising Yuma.

"W-what?"

"It hurts to lose someone you love." Nao keeps on hugging her, while Yuma starts to hug her back.

"So, you wanna hear what we found, or not...?" Koko avoids Yuma's gaze, and looks around. Nao lets go, and Yuma stands up.

"Koko... what happened at the end of the trial? Why were you acting like that?" Yuma takes a step closer, while Koko takes a step back.
