For the purposes of the story, our current survivors are of course Kokichi, Kiibo, you, Shuichi, Miu, Kaito, Maki and Gonta. Sorry Himiko! Too many characters and I couldn't write this properly 😂

Also..... ANGST ENDING IM SORRY 😭

Third Person:

Another day presented itself to you, despite how terrible it was destined to be. A killing game isn't exactly a time for optimism, and it had been a while since the last motive was presented. You opened your eyes to your room, where you'd gotten pretty accustomed to. Ordinarily, it was fairly bland, compared to your research lab, but there was something off today. Not just with the room, but you as well; it felt like an entire field was stuck in your throat... and you wouldn't be far off. As soon as you opened your mouth, it was like a bouquet of flowers had been wedged in your windpipe - you felt them rising up your neck, and spewed petals across the bed. You weren't sure what you were experiencing, so tried to just ignore it and dismiss it as your mental state slowly deteriorating.

When trying to get dressed, your coughing just just worsened, as your heart ached. Normally, the others would tease you over the metaphorical heartache over Kokichi - somehow the only one oblivious to it. Now though, the pain was like thorns digging into your heart and piercing your lungs... You'd need to check that out later, in case it's a little more serious.

You left the room, and headed to meet everyone at breakfast as Kaito has so persistently asked of you. Everyone was there - and I do mean everyone... You looked past the others to find Monokuma and Monokubs stood on the table, as if making an announcement. You knew nothing good could come of this, but maybe they could offer an explanation as to your... flower problems.

"Monokuma was waiting for us all to turn up. I think ever— Hey, what happened to you? You look like you've just laid in a flower bed in some grandma's garden."

True, your clothes were entwined with petals, stems and the odd rose, but it still hurt coming from Kaito - who had been trying so hard to get you to join everyone for once. Everyone was now staring at you, as you awkwardly plucked the petals from your hair. It was time to show up for breakfast... You tended to stay away from the others, but whenever you did end up interacting with them, it was always a bitter exchange... unless it was Kokichi. He knew *you*, and how you acted. It was difficult to open up to him, given both your talent and his incessant lies, but eventually you did start talking with him. These talks turned into something more meaningful to you, which was strange, knowing that you'd never had a meaningful connection with anyone that wasn't some charade.

"Now we have you all here - It's time to let you know that there is a new motive in play! But... it's not from me."

Not from Monokuma? But if it was motive, wouldn't it have to be from Monokuma, or at least one of the Monokubs? Everyone looked around in confusion, considering this was some sort of alien concept to you all. You tried to cough muffled in the corner, again these weird purple flowers rising up your throat, as everyone's talking got gradually louder (and in Miu's case, more vulgar). Monokuma got increasingly frustrated until he fired a started pistol... for once he wasn't playing with an actual weapon.

"Puhuhu! One of you lucky, lucky students has contracted an illness known as Hanahaki Disease!" 

YOUR POV:

Hanahaki...? Isn't that just some weird fanfiction trope? Surely he's just saying that to mess with us, right? But... this morning, and those flowers... they can't be faked. I glanced around, and immediately looked for Kokichi - I just had to confess, get this all over with. Monokuma can't have a killing game with no motive. When I did end up catching his eye though, I immediately stopped in another coughing fit, until I'd nearly collapsed fo the floor in its amethyst beauty. I could just confess to Kokichi, get this done with... But... if what I know is correct, he's probably already thought of a fix for that - a way to make sure I can't say anything to him.
