Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 4 Part 12

Speaker: Good morning students! It is now 7am! Get up and have a beeaautiful day!

Everyone was already there. Well, except Hanako and Sumana. As usual these days. It's a wonder we haven't already checked on them. They've got to be dead by now. Or at least one of them is, killed by the other. Sumana was probably the traitor this whole time.

She's lured Hanako into her trap.

At least we know who the culprit is.

I looked around. By everyone's expressions, they were thinking the same thing.

Chloe: Why aren't we checking on Hanako and Sumana?

Silence.

Chloe: Answer me. Why aren't we checking on them?

Sophie: Because they're probably dead. There's no point.

Chloe: Then why are we still here? Shouldn't we be going to investigate the murder, or at least find the body?

Yu Xuan: It's too dangerous. We can't risk-

Randi: ARRGGGGGGGHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Rachel: Randi what-

Randi slid down the wall, tears beginning to fall. She looked sick.

Randi: We're- I'm- I'm a terrible person... I'm not doing anything to help. I'm selfish... I don't deserve to live, I'm- I'm more than a bad person, I'm a murderer...

Ashton: Randi- Please calm down it's going to be-

Randi: SHUT UP-

Randi's words were interrupted by a kick in the face with an oxford shoe. She was thrown to the side, her thin frame sprawled across the food court floor. Slowly, she looked up at Sophie, who was glaring at her, unamused as she touched her bruised cheek and gaped when she saw blood.

Sophie: If you want to be whining cry baby, you're just dead weight. In that case, maybe when I kicked your face, I should've stepped harder.

Rachel: Hey hey, there's no need for violence-

Sophie: Right... Ashton, Ashlyn, take this bitch to the clinic and get her cleaned up or something. Or let her bleed to death, honestly I don't care.

Ashlyn: Why me-?

Sophie: Because I say so. Now go on your own accord before you'll have to go in order to survive.

I reluctantly obliged, holding onto Randi by her arm and walking her over, Ashton holding onto her other.

Randi: I'm sorry... I'm just being a coward. I know you all are feeling the same way, I had no right to act out and be so selfish.

Ashton: No, I'm sorry guys.

Ashlyn: For what?

Ashton: I'm supposed to be a detective, I'm supposed to be helpful in finding the Mastermind. Yet I've done almost nothing. And because of that, we've lost so many people. I'm sorry, I'm the reason we're all still here.

I didn't know what to say.

Randi: Don't worry, we'll get out of here.

The rest of the way down to the clinic was silent, and once we got there, we helped Randi bandage her cheek up.

Ashlyn: Right, you're all done. Let's get you to your room-

???: You guys-

I turned, recognising that smooth, kind voice we knew so well.

Ashlyn: Sumana? What're you doing here-

I reached my hand out towards her, but she yelped and stumbled back, shielding her eyes.

Sumana: STOP! Don't do that! Bad things might happen.

I brought my hand back slowly.

Ashlyn: Sumana, where's Hanako?

Sumana: She's... Dead.

My face lost all color, my eyes beginning to fog.

Ashlyn: She's... What?

Ashton: You killed her, didn't you?

Sumana: ...

Randi: You little shit.

Sumana: Randi, Randi, you can curse me all you want, but what's done is done. Surely you understand that the most.

I heard Randi mumble to herself angrily.

Randi: YOU COWARD, TRAITOR, SCUMMY LITTLE-

But Sumana already collapsed onto the floor, lost in the dream realm.

Ashton: What're we going to do?

Before I could say anything, Randi dropped onto the ground, unconscious.

Ashlyn: Randi? 

Ashton: What happened??

Ashlyn: She's... In the dream world. 

Ashton: Do you think she'll... Die?

Ashlyn: She's strong. I believe she won't. I hope she won't.
