Chapter 1: Hell is Other People, Part III (Daily Life)
----
*DING DONG BING BONG*
That was the same chime I heard yesterday. The announcement was different, though - mentioning the motive that he was to give us today.
Monokuma: Well, well, well, rise and shine, ursine! 7AM has officially arrived, and all rooms locked during nighttime are once again open for access! Just remember to be at the gymnasium at 9AM sharp! Anybody who misses out on the motive reveal will be treated like the insolent flea they are! Upupupu~
What I had to do was simple: get up, wash face, brush teeth, put on clothes, go to gymnasium at the time he specified to hear what that blasted bear had in store for us this time. As I locked my dorm room up for the day, a hand tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned around to face it, there she was.
Homura: Reiji?
Reiji: ...Yeah?
Homura: I'm... I'm a bit nervous.
Reiji: About who?
Homura: Sasuke. He's been... I just can't describe it-
Of course, I had my suspicions. After all, someone who proudly proclaimed to be the Ultimate Kidnapper definitely had some skeletons in their closet.
Reiji: He's acting shady again?
Homura: Yes. That's all I have to say.
After Homura walked away, time seemed to fly by in an instant. Next thing I knew, I was standing right in front of Kira with a good half an hour to go before Monokuma's presentation would start.
Kira: You're super early.
Reiji: Well, I had nothing better to do. Now we play the waiting game.
Kira: Why not speak to people-
Reiji: Any of them could be planning to kill me right now.
Kira: But you might as well try!
Reiji: There's a time and a place to speak to people. And this is not it!
Asuka: ...I think he has a point?
Kira: Asuka, friends do not kill-
Monokuma: They sure can! And they most likely will!
Kira: Huh?
I turned my head to see that Monokuma had suddenly appeared on the stage - much like when he made his debut. He tapped his foot, as if waiting for all of us to arrive. I took it upon myself to headcount: Masato was currently missing, and so was Shouko.
Well, speak of the devil and he would appear, as the paranoid fast food worker reluctantly stepped into the gymnasium just around the appointed time. And with Shouko hobbling into the gym a minute or so later, with a knee brace wrapped around the leg that was borderline shattered yesterday, that made sixteen. All of us were now accounted for.
Monokuma: Well, guess we have a full loud house! Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Chie: Kero-chan loved that, ribbit!
Sasuke: Shut the fuck up with that frog nonsense. You're not a kid-
Chie: (sniff) You made Kero-chan sad, croak...
Sasuke: And I don't care! Grow up!
Shuya: Now, now, Sasuke. Keep it civil. If she wants to act like-
Masato: Wait... you're gonna give us a motive, aren't you?
