Danganronpa 4-Despair Loop

"Why'd you stop?" Koko says, scrutinizing the wall.

"I had Izumi and Sayuri build this..." Yuma pushes on the wall, and it opens. "Its a rest area hidden so nobody but us can find it."

"...W-why would you...?" Koko walks in looking around. Yuma takes a step in, closes the door and walks closer to Koko.

"I did that because I know you don't really want to dance, you're here because of peer pressure. So we're here without being here." Yuma smiles at her after she says those words.

"Th-thank you..." Yuma leans in and kisses her forehead.

"No problem!" Koko takes a sip from her drink.

"...You sure you don't want anything alcoholic? This is pretty good..." Koko asks.

"You know, I'll get my own. I'll be back!" Yuma waves and walks out of the room. She walks back into the party finding almost everyone completely drunk out of their minds. Almost everyone.

"Oh hey Yuma, welcome back!" Izumi waves.

"What... what happened here?" Yuma looks around.

"People getting drunk." Ayane smiles and takes another drink from her glass.

"Yeah, I see that..." Sayuri is crying in the corner, Nao trying to comfort her. Chinatsu has stolen Naoto's suit coat and is wearing it while dancing with him.

"So, you finally want something alcoholic?" Izumi asks.

"Yeah. Whatever Koko had, I'll have that." Yuma sits down as Izumi turns to make the drink. "What are you having Ayane? And how are you not drunk...?" Yuma looks at her.

"I asked Izumi to make her strongest drink, so that's what I'm having. And for the drunk question, my body's weird. It's the same with caffeine. My body basically treats it as waste and doesn't give me the kick or reaction. So, I can drink and not feel a thing! Not that I normally drink, but still." Ayane smiles her normal smile.
"Oh, that's... wow." Yuma says, astonished. Izumi passes a drink over to Yuma, who takes it and walks back to the room with Koko. After partying for several more hours, everyone goes back to their dorms, everyone except Ayane absolutely drunk.

"Goodnight Koko!" Yuma says drunkenly and waves. Koko waves back, smiling a bit. YUma watches Koko leave, then with fumbly hands, unlocks her door. Yuma stumbles into her dorm, grabbing a hold of the side of her bed to steady her.

"This... this might've been a bad idea..." Yuma falls down, giggling slightly. She closes her eyes and falls into a deep sleep.

"Heya kids! It's that time of day! It's moooorning time! Get your sorry butts out of bed!" Yuma groggily wipes her eyes. She puts her hands to her head, which is throbbing.

"Definitely a bad idea... I gotta remind Koko to never let me drink again..." Yuma shakes her head slightly, walking out of her dorm. Careful to lock her door behind her, she walks down the hall. Looking around, she sees Naoto steadying Chinatsu, who is still shaky.

"Hey, hey. You should probably rest." He says to her. Chinatsu shakes her head.

"No... it's fine." She continues to walk with Naoto's arm around her. Yuma walks behind them, smiling a bit. All of them walk into the cafeteria. Koko, Sayuri, Izumi, and Ayane are all already there. Yuma walks over to Koko and sits down next to her.

"Good morning!" Yuma smiles and hugs her.

"...Good morning Yuma." Koko smiles, but hides it behind her hair. Nao walks in and Sayuri perks up slightly, just enough for Yuma to notice.

"Heya Sayu~chan, how are you?" Nao walks over to Sayuri, smiling.

"I-I'm good... still a little hungover... H-how are y-you?" Sayuri smiles as well.

"I'm good! I got a lot of good practice last night!" Nao says, twirls, and sits down next to Sayuri. Everyone sits down and talks for a while, smiling about good memories and bad things that happened last night.

"Wait... where's Yuki?" Koko looks around.

"Aw, am I not enough?" Yuma playfully nudges Koko and makes an overexaggerated sad face.

"Well, she's normally here at this time... so I was just asking..." Koko says, booping Yumas nose.

"She's probably with Miana somewhere, want me to go find them?" Yuma stands up.

"Yeah. I'll help." Koko stands up as well.

"All right. You go look in the workshop and I'll look in both of their dorms." Koko nods, and the two of them split up. Yuma walks back down the hall toward Yuki's dorm. She continues to walk until Yuki's door is right in front of her. She knocks twice, and after waiting and not getting an answer, she rings the bell. Again, she was met with silence, so she figures they must be in Miana's dorm or in the workshop. She walks down the hall a bit more, turning to the dorm right across from her own, and knocks. When she knocks this time, the door opens a bit.

"Hey Yuki? Miana? Are you in..." She opens the door completely and trails off when she notices what's going on.

"I didn't find her in the workshop, are they in the dorms Yuma?" Yuma turns her head at Kokos' voice.

"Yeah! Mianas dorm!" Yuma shouts back.

"Alright." Kokos' voice got louder. Koko walks in as well and...
