Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 4 Part 5

Sophie was persuasive. 

Sumana was dragged to her room by her arm. She didn't resist. She didn't seem to have the energy for that.

We threw her into her room and Sophie told us to tie the robotic arm to a chair, which we did. Sumana still sat defeated on the floor.

Sophie: We'll leave her here for now. 

Ashton: Sophie, I really think we shouldn't be doing this. 

Rachel: How about we untie her? This just feels so wrong-

Suddenly, we heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the room. The door pushed open and we saw Hanako and Chloe standing in the doorway.

Hanako: Hey!

Chloe: What're you guys doing???

Sophie: Protecting ourselves.

Hanako: Are you... Tying her up???

Sophie: What does it look like?

Chloe: No- What?? You can't tie her up! No.

Sophie: Well I've already done it, so I can.

Hanako: Untie her! Right now!

Ashlyn: Guys maybe we should...

Sophie: No. I think we should leave.

Chloe: No, we need to get her out of here! This is just cruel man.

Sumana: It's okay.

Hanako: What do you mean??? You're tied up like a dog.

Sumana: No, I'll be okay. You don't need to help me. 

Chloe: Really? How about tonight? Who's going to see the Team Danganronpa guy? 

Ashton: Why don't we... Draw straws?

Sophie: Good idea. Go to the food court and get some straws. Whoever pulls the shortone does it.

Hanako: What if we can't trust the person? Like it's Sophie or something.

Sophie: I could just not pull.

Ashton: Alright then. Let's leave the room first.

Chloe: But Sumana-

Sumana: I'll be fine, trust me.

Chloe: If you say so...

We walked out of the room, leaving Sumana tied up inside. Sophie used Sumana's key to lock the door behind her.

Ashton: I'll go grab the straws.

After a while, Ashton came back with a few straws in his hand.

Ashton: Take one each. Whoever gets the short one has to go.

Everyone drew a straw except for Sophie.

Rachel: I got it.

Ashton: The straw?

Rachel: Yea.

Chloe: Well you're the ultimate lucky student so I'm not surprised.

Rachel: How is this lucky? I didn't even want to go in the first place. 

Yu Xuan: Well the most we can do right now is go with it. It's only fair.

Hanako: Maybe you all just shouldn't have tied Sumana up and this would all be fine.

Rachel: Okay okay, don't start fighting again I'll go. 

Sophie: Great. It's about 6pm right now, we can go do our own thing before meeting up at the food court at 9.30pm.
