Danganronpa Essence of Hope

Chapter 3: Apologizing

Kokichi was now back at the foundation. He looked around trying to find Maki in hopes to apologize to her. He then found her with Tenko he walked up to them "Hey~ Harukawa-San.." He looked at her stomach and arm bandaged up remembering what he did to her. "Look.. I'm sorry for what I di-" before he was able to finish apologizing to Maki. Tenko cut him off. "Save it you degenerate. We don't want to hear you apologizing after what you done." Kokichi then spoke up to say something "But I really am sor-" Tenko cut Kokichi off again "I don't want to hear it. You don't deserve to apologize or even us to forgive after all you done!.." Maki stood quiet in all of this just watching Tenko and Kokichi arguing. She then spoke up "Tenko is right even if you did apologize we won't forgive you. It'd be better if you didn't apologize..." She said deafening Tenko. Kokichi looked at them in sorrow. He really was sorry but both of them didn't want to forgive him. Maki pulled out a small dagger in front of Kokichi."I suggest you leave us alone. It'd be better anyways." Maki said in an almost threatening tone. Kokichi then left not looking back.

Kokichi was then outside hoping that he could talk to someone. He spotted Rantaro in the distance. "Rantaro! Buddy! I haven't seen you in a while-" Kokichi said but then Rantaro interrupted Kokichi. "Look Kokichi... Maybe it's best we shouldn't talk to each other right now." Rantaro told the purpled haired boy. Kokichi was confused. He then asked Rantaro "Wha?- what do you mean?" Rantaro just point to another direction and spoke up "Just leave Kokichi.." He said in a saddened tone. Kokichi didn't want to leave so he asked again "But-" He was again cut off by Rantaro "LEAVE!.. Just.. I don't want to talk to you. so just leave." He pointed out to the other direction. Kokichi then just left not talking to Rantaro any longer.

Then a small argument broke out with Shuichi and Kokichi. Luckily no one was there with them Shuichi and Kokichi both continued until Shuichi snapped. "OUMA-KUN JUST STOP!..." Out of pure shock Kokichi stopped for a moment. A tear showed from Shuichi's eye as he spoke. "I'm sorry that i can't forgive you.. I really am. I want to believe you had good intentions as to why you let Komaeda-Senpai out of his cell. But i can't.. So please.. just stop." Shuichi was now crying. Kokichi wanted to say something but Shuichi just left him before Kokichi can say anything else to the Detective.

Kokichi hoped that Miu was somewhere hoping she can at least hear what he has to say even though they didn't have a good bond per say but he still hope Miu can forgive him. But as expected she didn't wanted to talk to him. "So you want me to forgive you? bullshit. I ain't forgiving you after what you just did you gremlin." She spat at the purplenett. Kokichi just looked down not looking at Miu. Miu looked at him and walked off but before she was completely out of his vision she spoke. "Also that top. the one that looks like Komeada-Senpai's shirt? yeah it looks stupid. You should take it off.." She said and walked off.

Kiibo was now with Kokichi and Nagito. "Ouma-kun... please.. let's just bring him back to F.F rehab and call it a day?" The robot boy said. Kokichi let Nagito behind his back. The supreme leader shook his head and told the robot. "I'm sorry I just can't do that." Kiibo was then saddened at the remark he asked again but didn't convince Kokichi to bring back Nagito. Kiibo let out a sigh and well spoke up once again. "If that is what you want then sorry for pushing you Ouma-Kun.." The robot left with Kokichi and Nagito left by themselves.

Kokichi was now just walking around still saddened from the encounter with Kiibo. He thought that if we went on a walk that would clear his mind a bit. Well it kind of work but another of his classmates were there. Kirumi turned around to see the smaller boy. "Well then.. Hello there Ouma." Kokichi was in shock he saw Kirumi here. He spoke up to answer Kirumi. "Ah... Hello Tojo." Kokichi then just stood there not really knowing what to do. Kirumi then spoke up "You know Ouma. I thought you would be able to cooperate for once. But i was a fool to think that. You're a disappointment." The maid said to the supreme leader. Kokichi just stood there as he hold back his tears. The maid walked away and so did he.
