Hopeful Blacksmith (Danganronpa 1 x OC)

Chapter 39: Her Dream, They Appear...

A/N: THIS IS PURELY TO HURT ME (AND MAYBE YOU SJDJSJ) AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THIS! LET'S GO!!!

I woke up slowly, finding myself in a in a blank white room with a few pillows on the ground. I sat down on one of them and looked down myself...

Is this a dream..? I wonder if G's plan is going well? If this is a dream, can I fly?

I willed myself to try and fly, but nothing happened.

Bummer...

It was quiet for a while, until I heard footsteps...

-- SAYAKA MAIZONO --

I turned and saw... Sayaka. She stood a distance away from me, her blue hair swaying slowly in a wind that I couldn't feel but was clearly there. I stood up, my legs shaking as I walked up to her.

"S-Sayaka..?", I whispered.

"Mhm... sorry I left you alone, Kuno.", her voice sounded more angelic than before. Her smile seemed so sad. My eyes started watering as I hugged her. When she held me back, I began sobbing my eyes out. She was soothing me slowly, humming to calm me down and assuring me things were okay.

"I-I'm sorry..!", I hiccupped.

"You did nothing wrong, Kuno. Don't be sorry... Besides, it was my fault, I was the one who planned the first murder... And I even planned on framing Makoto... I'm such a horrible person...", Sayaka muttered with a shaky breathe. 

"... You were desperate, and you didn't know it would cost all our lives... Still pretty shitty though...", I sniffled with a sad smile. Sayaka chuckled with the same smile.

"You were always the honest one."

"... Are you real? Or is this just a dream?"

"I don't know, but I do know that I'm glad I could see you one last time...", I looked up at Sayaka and she seemed so calm, no pain nor suffering.

"Do you... remember how you died?"

"Yeah, I do... I wish I didn't, but it's what I get for being so selfish..."

"Have you seen... Um, L-Leon?", Sayaka's smile strained slightly, but she nodded. "Did you guys talk?"

"... There isn't much else to do other than talk. He... was really guilty, Kuno, but angry at the same time. Said everyone ganged up on him, that it was my fault... He kept crying so hard... I didn't know what to do. He killed me, but I was going to kill him."

"Did he tell you how he died?"

"Yeah... It sounded painful."

"I... didn't want him or anyone to suffer, Sayaka, I swear!", I said with more tears rolling down my face.

"No one did, I'm sure. You guys didn't choose the punishment, you had to go along anyways... with that sick Monokuma."

"I'm still stuck there, but I might have found a hidden ally. They might get us out."

"I hope so, for your safety... Hey, can you... tell Makoto that I'm sorry?"

"... Of course. But, just for the record, he probably forgave you already. You know how he is.", I chuckled.

"Heh... I have to go soon."

"... I want you to stay for longer."

"I can't.", Sayaka held my face gently and kissed my forehead as her image slowly started to fade, her touch feeling colder and fleeting by the second. "I'm rooting for you... I'll make a song for you, from the other side. I'll sing it for you, but hopefully not too soon... Hehe."
