Chapter 3: My Enemy's Enemy, Part I (Daily Life)

*DING DONG BING BONG*
Monokuma: So, you're still alive to hear me? Great! The sun's risen outside, for your consideration. Not that it matters, considering that most of you probably won't live long enough to see another sunrise, but whatever. Anyways, as a consolidation for what happened last night, I've allowed access into some new previously off-limits areas. Have fun exploring, ya bastards! Upupupu~
It was gearing up to be just another day. I went through all the motions, but it was after I had fully prepared myself that things went all topsy-turvy. I opened the door only to hear a commotion coming from Mayu's room down the hall. Naturally, I had to perform a wellness check, if only out of sheer obligation.
Reiji: What the hell is going on- oh. Oh.
I saw that Mayu was curled up on her bed, flailing and screaming and crying. Nanae was trying, emphasis on trying, to calm her down, but I could tell that her attempts were failing.
Mayu: ...and I feel like I'm trapped! Trapped in this filthy school, filthy body, filthy life! Sometimes I wonder if I'm just a millstone, dragging everyone down to the abyss with me!
Nanae: No. No way you're like that. I... We won't let anything happen to you. I promise you that.
Mayu: Really? You promise? I can't even engage in what I love the most without seeing their eyes in the eyes! And when I do, I want to rip off my own skin - just to be free again!
Nanae: Rei... Reiji?
Reiji: Yes?
Nanae: Call for help! She's clearly not well!
There was no need for that. One by one, the rest of the group filed out of their own rooms, to see me standing in front of Mayu's room witnessing her panic attack. Most of them appeared to be seeing the situation as horrific as it was. Well, except Chie. She seemed more concerned with her bag than anything else.
Chie: Kero-chan! You're smelling as fresh as flowers, ribbit!
Sasuke: Usagi died yesterday, Mayu's having a mental breakdown, and you're more concerned with your bag?!
Chie: Of course, that was in the past, croak!
Shouko: You do know that Mayu needs our help, don't you?
Chie: Oh. Now I see. Silly me, croak.
Sasuke: Just shut up with "ribbit" this and "croak" that! You're not a kid!
Nanae: Well what about Mayu?!
Mayu: (quietly) ...I'm a disgusting little whore... That's what they think I am... That's what they still think... Those boys...
Shouko: Somebody's gotta stay with her!
Tetsuo: I will-
Shouko: No fucking way! We know you're Sparkling Justice!
Iori: And for that reason, you're not fit to serve as a babysitter! What if a baby stole a cookie, what would you do? Snap their neck?
Tetsuo: ...
Shouko: Exactly. You're getting put under watch.
Homura: I guess we are attracting attention.
Sasuke: Obviously, considering that all of us and-
Monokuma: What's all this happening in the dorms?
Sasuke: Heh. Well speak of the devil.
It was him. I could recognise him by voice alone. He was waddling down the hall now, glancing towards all of us, crowded together.
