Dangan Ronpa:return to Despair Academy

Free Time and Nurses.

"And there was a room in the library that couldn't be opened."Kimiko stood at the head of the large table in the Dining Hall.We were explaining what happened during our search,including what happened with Tomoko at the meeting.

In all honesty,Kimiko did all of the explaining.Those of us who were involved with the entire escapade just watched while eating lunch.But I don't think she minded,she didn't seem like she really wanted to be interrupted.Part of her authoritive nature I suppose.

I couldn't help but notice that Satoru and Maiko were nowhere to be seen.Tomoko and Yoshio were still working on her clarinet.

"Well,what about you?"Kimiko finished up her report and looked at Takumi and his group."What did you guys find before we interrupted you?"

"Well,all we really found was the library and...this."

Takumi revealed a small bag from under the table.Its contents were stretching the bag in some places.

He dumped the bag on the table,and glass flew on my turkey sandwich.

"Oh!Sorry Shizuko!"

I just glared at him.

*so much for that.*

"What is that stuff anyway?"I asked,plotting against Takumi.

"That's,well...I think it's a laptop."Takumi picked up some of the pieces.

"Well why did you bring it here?"Kimiko asked.

"Uhh..."

"If it doesn't work then is it a very big clue?"Shoichi asked."I mean,it's not like any of us know how to fix computers."

"Well at least it's somethig."I pointed out,trying to shake the glass off my sandwich.

"We should find Satoru and Maiko."Yoichi got up and headed for the door."He is able to manipulate Maiko,and I don't like those two working together."

"Yes,I would like to talk some sense into the both of them."Akihiro followed him.

The table cleared as everyone went off to do their own things.I didnt like how things were going.We needed to work united,but the situation only proved that we still didn't know how to do that.

I carefully sifted through the metal and glass.It was true,some of the pieces resembled chips you would find in a computer.

"When did you pick that up?"Minako asked,peeking over my shoulder."I didn't notice anything like that when we were searching."

"It was in the trash can remember?Only it didn't really look like...this..."Takumi trailed off.

Minako's eyes widened.She switched her gaze from the pile of scrap to Takumi,apparently making connections that I couldn't see.

"You actually picked that thing up?!?!"Minako freaked out,backing away from the pile as fast as she could."Why?!It looked just like him!"

"I thought it would be a clue!"Takumi tried to explain holding his hands up in defense."It had his face on it so it made sense!"

"Can you guys let me in on the little secret?"I asked,looking through the laptop.

"When we found this in the trash can,it was all squeezed together to make-"

"A big Monokuma head!"Minako interrupted Takumi.

"Well,after the Tomoko incident,I wanted to go back for the head.But when I tried to pick it up it just sort of...fell apart."

"So,that Monokuma head was made of an old laptop?"Minako was still eyeing the scrap warily.

"How did you get this in the bag?There's a lot of glass in here."I reached further into the bag to try and dig the last bits.
