Danganronpa 2.5: The Butterfly Effect | NAGITO X READER (fem)|

Jabberwock Island

Y/N POV

First day at Hope's Peak Academy and I burst into my first class of the day.

It's empty, but I ammmm a half hour early so maybe I'll wait for the rest of the class.

I sat at a random desk and twiddled my fingers before I hear the door open again. In walks this huuuuge buff guy, this rocker chick, and some kid in a kimono.

It's the first day and I'm feeling friendly, so I walk over to the kimono kid and say, "Hi, I'm Y/N. And I'm the Ultimate (Talent). Nice to meet you!"

She looked me up and down. "More like the Ultimate Whore," she snickered as she pranced away.

My jaw was dropped, I couldn't even process how someone I don't know could be so randomly rude.

Amidst my shock, I must not have noticed the rest of the students filing in. Among them was this pale guy, kinda hiding out from the rest of the crowd as if he felt he couldn't fit in. I smiled at him so he'd feel a little more at ease.

He looked a little surprised that I acknowledged him and waved as he smiled back.

Aww

The rest of the class filed in and our moment was interrupted by some white rabbit emerging from the teacher's podium and announcing herself as Ms. Usami, our teacher.

I gazed around the room, finding everyone just about as confused as I am. We all speechlessly stared at her.

I whispered to the muscular girl next to me, "Do you see it too, or have I lost my mind?"

Dumbfounded, she responded, "I thought I was going insane... What is that?"

Is there really a talking rabbit in the room right now... that's claiming to be our teacher?? What kind of high school IS this?!

She began to talk about some field trip that our class was taking when I began to feel lightheaded. My mind increasingly felt foggy as she spoke and after a single blink, everything changed.

We're no longer in a classroom. No, not even in a school. There was sand everywhere and oceans surrounding us. We all frantically looked around, convinced we had to have been drugged. There's no other explanation. "Where the hell are we?!" I yelled out in terror. "What's happening to us?!" the mechanic-looking guy cried, falling to his knees. The crowd of us rallied in anger and confusion.

Usami quieted us all down and after a confusing and unsatisfying explanation of our school trip and our mission to collect hope fragments, she left us to figure it out.

We stood frozen in shock for a few seconds before people began complying with our instructions and collecting hope fragments from eachother.

Is this some kind of first day of class ice breaker? I just have to befriend everyone? Oh no... that means I'll have to collect a hope fragment from HER.

I stared at that blonde, kimono wearing BRAT menacingly until my gaze was broken with familiar kind eyes.

My entire demeanor changed as I looked up at him.

"Hey, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you, but you seemed like the friendliest person in class earlier. It's kinda intimidating being amongst all these Ultimates, considering I barely have a talent. It's a little embarrassing but, I'm Nagito Komaeda, the Ultimate Lucky Student."

I immediately felt empathetic towards him.

Fitting in in high school is hard enough as it is, I can only imagine how it feels to be the only person without a tangible talent.

I smiled in return, "Oh hi!! I'm (Y/N) and I'm the Ultimate (Talent). Nice to meet you! And for the record, I think luck is super cool!"

His eyes lit up with joy, "You do? No way, I could never compare to you Ultimates." He was a little flush from embarrassment. "Oh sorry! Anyways, we should meet everyone else. I'll follow your lead." He nervously blurted, getting a little more red.

I noticed his complexion, and in a weird, impulsive, kinda embarrassing attempt to make him feel better I grabbed his hand, shook it, and said "Nagito! Let's be friends!"

Both happy and shocked at the same time, he replied "I'd love to! T-Thank you!" as I dragged him towards the crowd to properly meet the others.
