Breathe in, breathe out, when you're forced to fight for your lives against your friends, that's all you can do.
Breathe in, breathe out.
We all walked up to the podiums as the pressure of death made us sink far into fear.
The fear of dying with no escape.
I looked to my left trying to focus on Kaede, she seemed more nervous than I was.
Breathe in breathe out.
I looked to my right to see Kokichi excited, not out of character I suppose, but then there was Kiibo, he didn't seem nervous, atleast to me he didn't. He was composed yet  still had an uneasy vibe.
As the trial began we all knew what had to be done.. but how? How will a group of teenagers find a cold blooded killer?..
The trial continued as Kaede continued arguing with our classmates, but there was something off. Something wasn't sitting right with me, until I realized.. It's not true no, it couldn't be true. But the truth was coming into light, Kaede. She..
.
.
She killed Rantaro..
She'd never do such a thing, she was as sweet as honey and as gentle as a mother holding her young.. The trial escalated, I knew the truth but I couldn't find myself speaking, I was shocked, lost in thought.. 
.
.
" Shuichi.. "
I snapped out of my thoughts and looked up, seeing Kaede look at me, right in the eyes..
" Shuichi, you know.. Don't you?"
My heart stopped, all I could feel was bitter fear and sadness.. 
The whole rest of the trial was a blur, it happened so quickly.. We started by walking up to the podiums.. now look at us, about to vote for the blackened, why her? It could've been anyone else, so why her?..
The voting began as Kaede had tears streaming down her face.. but she looked so proud. I hate this, I hate this game..
" IT'S PUNISHMENT TIMEEE " said Monokuma as he grabbed his hammer and pushed that horrible button.
.
.
.
.
It was horrible, after 6 hours of agonizing torture she died from being hung and was crushed along with a monokub who I can't remember.. She was dead, and it was my fault, I sent her off to her doom, if only I..
.
BAM
.
I was shocked, the boy with purple hair, Kaito I believe, just hit me in the face, I touch the spot and hiss in pain, it was right on my cheek..
