Just Kill Me • Nagito Komaeda

Nagito's POV:

She's... Ultimate Despair? But, she was nothing like Junko, not in the slightest! It had to be some mistake, or a lie! We should know this by now, Monokuma is just a liar, trying to get a reaction out of us and he—

"Nagito... it's alright. I am part of Ultimate Despair... I'm sorry."

Nobody could even speak. It was like I'd been hit with a bus, resuscitated just to be whacked by a baseball bat until my skull caved in... If she's anything like Junko, I can't just let her live in this world. Junko Enoshima was killed by someone else, and I didn't even get to see it for myself.. I didn't get to see the one person I hated, the very thing I live to destroy, die. Nows my chance to finally use this hope to crush this despair...

But why was I hesitating? I always thought, that when this day finally came I would be much more carefree about it all. I thought I would just drive a knife into the despair's heart and twist until it couldn't bleed out any more blood... but this despair, she was also my hope.

"P-please, Nagito... Don't do this, you don't have to kill me!"

Y/N POV:

It felt pathetic, self-deprecating, to be begging for my life like this to the one I love... to have to try defending myself against him. And there he was, holding a gun and aiming just between my eyes, Monokuma just sitting and watching it all unfold... sick bastard. Just watching us all suffer like this, even me, Ultimate Despair, who he claimed to be so devoted to!

All anyone could also was sit and watch, as Nagito was told of my secrets. Monokuma wanted to use him to execute me, for killing someone.. For taking Akane's life. It wasn't my choice, it was that damn Despair Disease.. it made us all so terrible things, unforgivable things. Now, everyone was forced to watch me and Nagito, my pleading for my life.

"Y/N, why didn't you tell me? I could've just stayed away, we never had to be together! Now it's complicated things... I have to kill you, I have no other choice left."

I didn't tell him, because it was obvious after the first trial just how fixated he was on hope, which was the total opposite of me. All I could do was bring despair into the world, as Junko taught me to do... as Junko willed me to do.

"Why did you become Ultimate Despair?"

Nagito's POV:

I never thought I'd get to stare despair in the face - and especially not in her face. Tears began rolling down, as she began to fold over. I lowered the gun, and just knelt down next to her, holding her tightly.

"I.. I never had any choice, Nagito... I was just a kid, I didn't know any better. She was like a sister to me, teaching me everything I know about the world and... all it's cruelty.."

Y/N FLASHBACK TIME

"Hey, it's alright, little girl, we're gonna be very gentle.. with you and your friend here.."

"He was terrifying... and ny friend, she faced the worst of it all, but I carried it all with me, and still do. The things they did to us... we were just kids, Nagito! Me and Kotoko... we were best friends until it all started."

"Big Sis Junko, what can I do? My dad and his friends... I can't do anything to stop them. I'm just a weak child... I can't stop all of it. I don't want gentle, anything but that!"

"And just like that, it was as though she knew my triggers. Junko knew exactly what to say to break me, how to use me... until she died, that is. But by that time, I was capable of carrying around despair on my own, and drowning every person I met in it. When I arrived here, I just wanted a clean slate... I had no idea I would meet you... and that things would turn out like this."

"Just kill 'em! You may be a kid, but that doesn't mean you can't go against the adults! And you too. Kotoko, you can fight them off. Make 'em bleed like there's no tomorrow! Spread your despair among them, and share the pain they've brought you! And all the while, Big Sis Junko Enoshima will protect you, my little Despair Girls."

The whole story was horrifying, based on the subtle hints at what she'd been through... the look on her face was entirely devoid of hope. Having to take all that abuse, and for Junko to weaponise it... add it to the list of reasons why I hate her.

"I remember Kotoko. I don't want to think about it, but I was a servant to her and other kids who were under Junko's influence, even after her death... Monaca, their leader, she used to use that same word to set her off. It was a form of manipulation - you don't need to feel afraid anymore."

I meant back and threw the gun across the room; I didn't care what Monokuma would do to me, but I was not performing this execution. Just looking at her face filled with despair was enough to say she has died, at least, on the inside. It was hard to just talk about *my* experience with Kotoko, so I can't possibly imagine how Y/N was feeling.

"Nagito... if you don't kill me, he'll just go after you instead. I want you to shoot me."

"I can't do that, not to you." I got up and began walking out of the room, praying that I didn't have to do this, that the door was unlocked.

"What the hell..." a red laser beam was targeted on my head - I followed until I saw it's source.. a Monokuma with an AK-47. Not as creative as I'd have liked, if I were to die today.

"Nagito, just kill me, please... I want to know true despair..."

"You don't *want* despair, Y/N. You've grown up to think you need it, that you deserve it."

I sprinted back towards her, and held her close, trying to dry her crying eyes. I'd never seen her like this - defenseless, with no way out...

"Kill me. That's all you have to do. Pull the trigger and you can walk on out of here. Don't worry about me.. I'm going to be okay. I want you to kill me, but before you do I just wanted to tell you that I lov-"

The bullet fired from its cylinder, traveling smooth as light and faster than sound. I didn't have any time to stop it, and I'd already pulled the trigger as she was about to say her last words: I didn't mean to.. I didn't think I'd even fired the gun.

Now there she was, sort of inside out, her eyes filled with hope, but her lips in a never ending despair. It was strange to think a girl I'd loved to be this way, corrupted by such despair. It's a shame, really, that it happened to her. But I didn't have a choice - I will eliminate every last one of the Ultimate Despair, even at the risk of the one I love... I should've known, known to not let my guard down...
