You narrowed your eyes and pointed although you were certain that this person is the mastermind you didn't want it to be. In fact you were scared to even say because you grew to call this person a friend but you had to face the truth.
"Shuichi Saihara!" You announced and the whole trial room got quiet. Everyone stared at you in disbelief as if they didn't believe or rather they didn't want to believe it.
"I-Y/N you must be wrong!" K1-B0 yelled.
"Shuichi the mastermind? Say it isn't so." Miu said looking at him.
"And here I thought he was just an emo." Kokichi shrugged.
"Far from it he's the mastermind. Tell me I'm wrong." You challenged glaring at him.
"Y/N how could you accuse me?" Shuichi asked. "I thought we were friends."
"I...thought we were too but I think even Kaito had suspicions that you were the mastermind." You said.
"Shuichi! Is it...true?" K1-B0 asked.

It went quiet for a second but then a dark aura filled the room and Shuichi slowly started to laugh the more he laughed the creepier it got. Everyone took a step back as Shuichi threw his head up and had the creepiest most maniacal smile you have ever seen but you noticed a flicker in his eyes that was gone in an instant.
"Mwahahahahahahaahahaha! So I guess you weren't dumb after all!" Shuichi laughed. "I am the mastermind of this killing game!"
"What the heck?!" Miu yelled.
"Shuichi is the mastermind? Wow." Kokichi gasped.
"I can't believe this." K1-B0 said his face full of fear.
"But I'm not the Ultimate Detective have you figured out what my real ultimate talent is?" Shuichi smirked.
You started to think back to all the moments you two shared and the thing that tied it all together was that psychology book. "You aren't the Ultimate Detective you're the...Ultimate Criminal Psychologist."
"Ding ding ding we have a winner!" Shuichi announced.
"U-ultimate criminal psychologist?!" Miu gasped.

"Wow Miu you got with the enemy good job." Kokichi rolled his eyes.
"It wasn't her fault. But to think Kaede trusted you I trusted you Kaito trusted you Maki trusted you. We all trusted you! But...you're the mastermind. You made this killing game happened. If it wasn't for you everyone would still be alive!" You screamed at him and he laughed at you.
"Tsk tsk Y/N you can't blame it all on me." Shuichi said.
"Oh but I can if you didn't put us here none of this would have happened." You said.
"This game is the Ultimate Real Fiction. So how do you feel are you filled with hope or with despair?" Shuichi smirked.
"I am filled with hope! My inner voice is telling me to keep going!" K1-B0 announced. "My inner voice is telling me I need to...remedy this situation. That is why I will not give up. I will not give up hope until the very end!"
"What?" Shuichi asked confused.
"We can't give up no matter what hope is always within reach." K1-B0 confidently said.
"Hope...?" You questioned.
"If this is both real and fiction then logically it can't all be fictional." K1-B0 explained. "Even if this world is fiction even if we're fiction there must be something we can do."

"That inner voice that's the voice of the outside world they're watching this killing game. I would know what you're hearing I am the mastermind and I also wrote your plot line. From the start of the killing game you've had a unique role you're the audience surrogate." Shuichi explained.
"So what you're saying is Keeboy here is the outside world's like protagonist so they can feel like they're in the killing game?" Kokichi asked.
"Precisely." Shuichi answered. "But oh Y/N I have a gift for you." Shuichi then turned on a monitor and everyone looked to see you wearing a school uniform with no hope in your E/C eyes.
"If I get picked for Danganronpa I want to be...the Ultimate Botanist! Flowers are beautiful but also very deadly and no one really knows about that. So I could plan some really gruesome murders and win the game!" You gleefully smiled.
You didn't know what to say you were shocked that you would even say something like that you have no memory of that.

"This is so messed up!" Miu yelled.
"That's not the Y/N I know and love!" Kokichi shouted.
"So what are you going to do Y/N fight for hope or despair?" Shuichi asked. You looked at him and in his eyes you couldn't tell who he was anymore. He wasn't the same Shuichi you once knew he was just a remnant of that maybe even a demon that just looked the same as him.
"If we fight for hope the killings will never end but I can't fight for despair either." You admitted.
"What do you think we should do?" Kokichi asked.
"Even if to them this is fiction everyone wants hope but the killing game continues because we keep giving them that hope. While they get to ignore all the tragedies all the deaths that we had to suffer through! This isn't fiction to me...to us those people...my friends they are dead and gone and they will never come back! Rantaro, Kaede, Ryoma, Kirumi, Angie, Tenko, Kiyo, Himiko, Tsumugi, Gonta, Kaito and Maki they're all gone! They're all dead! They died in this sickening game while the viewers who are watching are just ignoring that as if their deaths don't matter. With this stupid game and how apparently Shuichi wrote these scripts it's safe to say the memories we got through the flashback lights those are fake. Those memories never happened. Let me ask a question before we begin the voting. If hope wins what will happen?" You questioned.
"K1-B0 and Kokichi will sacrifice themselves. I will also sacrifice myself." Shuichi answered.
"What!?" Kokichi shouted.
"What punishment will they receive?" You asked.
"Why should I tell you?" Shuichi asked.
