A Melancholic Melody (Non-Despair AU Danganronpa X Male Reader)

Confronting The Demons

Y/N's POV

I...I can't deal with this anymore...I want it to end...I want the voice to go away...I'm already past that stage of my life...I don't know why I keep having these thoughts...I don't know what to do anymore...

You can't do anything. You and I are the same.

No, we're not! I'm not a monster like you!

Oh really? Tell me then...would a sane person have thoughts of hurting those who annoy them? Would a sane person resort to fighting instead of resolving a conflict peacefully? Would a sane person...be capable of hurting others without any remorse?

Just leave me alone...! You're just a figment of my imagination! You're nothing but thoughts of the past!

Keep telling yourself that...

I...I need to find a way to deal with this, and fast. I'm afraid of what I'll do otherwise...
...I have to try and keep myself in check...stop myself from...snapping.

Once I arrived home, I slowly opened the main door, and walked inside, only to...

Click!

Junko: "You're awfully late."

"O-oh, hey, Jun..."

Junko: "where have you been?"

"I-I was hanging out with a friend of mine today...th-that's it, I promise!"

Junko: "wait...why do you sound afraid?"

Crap...I can't tell Junko about my problem...she'll think I'm a monster...just like Mikan does.

"O-oh, it's just that...um...I saw a horror movie with my friend, and I had to walk home, so...yeah."

Junko: "is that so...?"

Please buy it, Junko...please...!

Junko: "...I didn't think you'd be the kind of guy to get scared of something like that, Y/N."

Phew, she bought i-

Junko: "But that doesn't explain the blood on your hands and clothes."

God damn it! I forgot about that!
...it's too late. I have to tell her now.

"...fine, Jun...I'll tell you the truth."

I walked over to her, and sighed, sitting down on a chair across from her...and to my surprise, she tied her hair into a ponytail, and put on glasses.

Junko: "alright, Y/N. Tell me what's bothering you."

"...I have a voice in my head that tells me to...hurt...people. I know I already do that, but I mean like SERIOUSLY hurt them...to the point of being on the verge of death."

Junko: "I see..."

"I tried telling Makoto about it, and he told me that it could be my old thoughts from when I used to be bullied in school..."

Junko: "your "old thoughts"...?"

"Well...back when I got bullied, I used to have these thoughts of...hurting my bullies...and even killing them so they would stop torturing me...I would imagine myself stabbing, strangulating, beating them to death...you get the point..."

Junko: "I see...continue."

"Well...when I got here to attend Hope's Peak, those thoughts...stopped. I didn't think of doing any of those things...but then when my fights began...it was all going well, until my fight with Kenji...he told me there was something "mad" inside of me...of course, I didn't believe him...but when I sparred with Nekomaru...the voice started to speak to me..."
