Danganropa: Still Tides

Chpater thirteen

We stared at the body. It was hard to see. We decided to all go downstairs. We took Moto by the hand and basically dragged her downstairs. I had to drag myself downstairs too.

I couldn't believe what I had saw.

We ran down to the first floor, Moto was behind us all. She was so good when it came to running. I couldn't help myself. I slowed down my own speed. I walked along side the girl.

"Hey..." I started.

"Hey." She replied.

"I promised this wouldn't happen but then I went and-" Moto cut me off.

"Promised what?" Moto asked.

"I made a promise to myself to make sure no one else god killed. And so far.. I'm breaking it... I'm breaking it badly." I slouched slightly. I continued to kick myself for not doing anything sooner.

".. it's not your fault." Moto said, "I mean, you can't stop anyone from killing anyone. You can't hold yourself up to that standard. It's ridiculous dude."

I expected a witty pun. I got nothing. She seemed genuine this time. It was nice. I still had Moto...

....

We approached the garden and found everyone crowded around Miyazato. A large bullet had hit the back of their helmet. It was disturbing.

We all didn't know where to start-

Thwack

Jimenez had kicked Miyazato's body.

Thwack thwack

"No hagas eso." Hara did his best to stop Jimenez from kicking the dead body.

"Estoy tratando de darle la vuelta." Jimenez responded. She kicked the boy again.

Thwack

Haruka soon showed up.

"I apologize for my tardiness. It had taken me a while to get up- oh my goodness." Haruka was speechless.

Miyazato's body was being kicked by Jimenez. Several boys tried to stop the girl from doing so.

"Is he..." Haruka questioned.

"Yeah... we think so." I answered.

"I knew everyone was shouting but I didn't expect... this." Haruka's voice was shaky.

We all looked at Miyazato's body. Who Jimenez had stopped kicking... for now. The boys had decided to try and turn over his corpse.

...

The screen lit up.

It was a loading screen which made the men drop his body and immediately step back.

Before long a sleepy emoticon appeared on the front of the helmet. We all took a few steps back. Cautious. Scared. Unsure of what to do right now.

Miyazato was alive??

"Woah! Don't get up too fast there, buddy." Tachibana ran to his friend's side. He seemed like he was going to cry tears of joy upon seeing him alive.

"Thank youuuuuuuuu-" Miyazato's voice was.. off? The robotic voice wasn't it's usually tone. It steadied down to a low pitched low pitched voice before shooting back up to a high note.

Tachibana looked at Miyazato. More than confused.

"You know there-" Suddenly, Tachibana let go of Miyazato, who didn't seem well enough to stand on his own. His legs were shaking and his voice was distorted. Was the machine smoking??
