Chapter 6: Come, Sweet Death, Part I (Deadly Life)
----
I must have woke up in a cold sweat, in the middle of the night, and rushed into my own personal bathroom to wash my face and try and clear my thoughts. But I just so happened to have looked into my reflection and I saw not myself, but Mamoru. Clearly I was seeing things, hearing things even. After all, Mamoru was gone; Shuya beat him to death with the Shogun Yamato shield. But here I was, speaking to him as if he was still alive.
Mamoru: Hey, Reiji.
Reiji: ...
Mamoru: I never said anything about a "promise", didn't I? You just assumed that Homura's safety was what I wanted.
Reiji: Ye-yeah. I sure did.
Mamoru: Well tough luck. I'm dead. She's dead. They're all dead.
Reiji: (sigh) I know.
Mamoru: Do you think Asuka hates you now? After you got her best friend killed?
Reiji: ...Maybe. Maybe not.
Mamoru: And do you think it all boils down to Sasuke being an utter asshole?
Reiji: I think so. I don't trust him. Nobody does after what he did. He denied all involvement with that lounge singer, when Shuya looked the other way-
Mamoru: The guy who caved my chest in?!
Reiji: Yeah.
Mamoru: And you're saying that he had something to do with it?
Reiji: Of course.
Mamoru: Wow, just wow. Hope you have fun with your life, Reiji.
And just like that, I was staring into my own eyes again. I still felt as tired as I was, so it was back to bed for me.

*DING DONG BING BONG*
The morning alarm woke up me once more. I just went through the motions now - went to bathroom, washed myself, dried myself, put on clothes for the day. I was just like clockwork, because I didn't care anymore.
We all sat separately from Sasuke. After what he did, we were entirely justified.
Sasuke: (whispering) Listen, Reiji. Ultimates - we are like gods. I can do whatever the fuck I want. So can you.
Reiji: No way.
Sasuke: What are you, a chicken?
Reiji: Shut the hell up, Sasuke, you're not one to talk!
Sasuke: Goddamnit, Reiji, it's in our nature to act as though we are above-
*DING DONG BING BONG*
The intercom blared to life. It was his voice, I'm sure of it.
Monokuma: Attention all students! Forgot to tell you, but if you're hearing this, all of you are expected to attend a special meeting in my office!
A "special meeting"? Whatever he had planned for us, it wasn't good.
Monokuma: Be here within ten minutes flat, or I assure you, it will get messy! Now chop chop!
Reiji: ...Should we even listen?
Sasuke: Nah, we all know better than to piss him off.
Chie: Uhhh...
Asuka: I don't like this-
Sasuke: Then get a move on, then!
Ukyo: Fine, if you say so.
