The food court was silent as people slowly minced on their food. I honestly have no idea how people just get over a murder by just sleeping and the first thing they do in the morning is just eat as if nothing even happened. It confuses me.

Anyway, I walk into the food court and get death stares all around. Except from Gundham and Nagito, however some of those stares were also directed at Nagito. I assumed that everyone still held a grudge against him from acting psychopathic in the first trial, and they probably picked up a distaste to me as I felt more empathy for Nagito locked up than the literal killings.

Smiling, I walked over to Nagito, only to be pushed from behind and end up chest first on the floor. Alarmed, Nagito stood up and helped me up, and together we faced my attacker. No betting on who the perpetrator was, it was Hiyoko. She's an absolute bitch to everyone, it's like she enjoys it like a bloody sociopath.

Grinning behind me, her arms were resting on her hips as she glared down at me. Which was weird actually since she is really short, but I was still kinda bent over so it looked like she was taller. Maybe she has some sort of superiority complex when it comes to height.

She lent forward and gave a sort of baby face to me.
'Aww, is little y/n feeling fragile?'
I blinked. I had no idea what she was on about.
Smiling, I replied.
'Hey Hiyoko, feeling fragile because you don't have your little husky to fraternise you anymore?' I mimicked her face and leant down to her level, spite and venom lacing my every word. Her face contorted into the portrait of anger and hatred. Consumed by anger, she pulled back her fist and punched me in the face.

I felt the world spin before me momentarily before regaining my balance. How dare she.
I ran to her, and promptly punched her in her smug little face as hard as I could, before backing away and turning to Nagito, the picture of guilt etched across my face. After all, I was the victim, right?
I quickly gauged the reactions from the other people in the room before looking back over my shoulder at Hiyoko.
Blood dripped through her fingers and onto the floor. I'm assuming she had a broken nose.

To her utmost annoyance, I giggled at her pathetic expression and with tears in her eyes she sprinted away.

Now, I know I am the Ultimate Hope, but I will not take any shit from people, I promise you that.

The others didn't seem to get that, even after I explained. They assumed I was preying on 'poor little hiyoko' which they wouldn't assume if they weren't completely blind.

I sighed loudly and said.
'I hope you all have a good day.'
And left.

I heard footsteps behind me as I raced out of the room. I didn't care. The pure embarrassment I just felt was agonising. I felt stupid that I even hurt Hiyoko out of my anger, and now everyone seems to think I'm lying about my Ultimate. I slowed my pace and turned to the person following me. It was Nagito.

'Hey y/n, want to hang out with me?'

Listen to me! Follow the sound of my voice! Y/N! Y/N! I BELIEVE IN YOU!

I didn't socialise with anyone else for the rest of the day, and woke up the next morning feeling revitalised. I feel like I saw a completely different side of Komaeda and it was fun to hang out with, but I need to face the consequences of my actions.

Worryingly for me, I felt less..happy. This might sound weird but I don't feel right. I don't feel like me.. I feel like someone has taken a chunk of my personality and thrown it out the window.

Annoyingly and now feeling downtrodden, I wandered into the hall. A few people greeted me, but I ignored them before looking at what they were crowding around, and stepped back, startled.
Akane was on the floor crying, Nagito was being overly nasty and Ibuki was standing in place almost reminiscent of a soldier.

I felt like I was going to cry with her. This feels so hopeless. I feel like a nobody in a situation full of somebodies and I have no idea what I'm doing here.

Suddenly, everyone jolted back, and I quickly stepped on a table to see over the river of heads, however that wasn't necessary as Monokuma dragged me forwards and into the circle, along with Akane, Nagito and Ibuki.

With a jaunt, Monokuma finally spoke.

'Akane, Y/N, Nagito and Ibuki are all affected by different strands of a very contagious disease called 'by me' THE DESPAIR DISEASE!'
