Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 4 Part 24

Ashlyn: ...

Chloe: That was different.

Rachel: Are you kidding me? That was painful, more than everyone else's.

Hanako: Really? I thought Tan Liang's was the most brutal.

Yu Xuan: Guys, we really shouldn't be comparing executions, right? I mean people died, it's not a thing to compare.

Ashlyn: Right. It's happened so many times I think I forgot.

Sophie: What did you guys think? As good as usual? A bit too much? Too little?

The room went silent.

Rachel: Where's K?

Sophie just paused for a second, then burst out laughing.

Sophie: K? Well she's dead. I thought you all knew that?

Ashlyn: What? We just saw her! She killed Randi! She dropped boiling water on her and then threw her in a shredder!

Sophie: Oh, that girl? She was nothing but an AI! She didnt actually exist, you can't bring back the dead! It was just to make Randi feel more and be more willing to give the execution a go.

Ashton: Wait, an AI? You're joking.

Sophie: No, you assfat, I'm not. Ask Monokuma.

Monokuma: Puhuhuhu! That K was indeed an AI! Isn't that just so wonderfully despairful?

Yu Xuan: No it's just sad, are you fucking kidding me?

Sophie: He really isn't, but the trial is over now! Yipee! Are you guys ready for chapter 5?!

There was silence again. And I knew everyone was thinking the same thing.

Hanako: ARGHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE. NO, NO WE'RE FUCKING NOT. WE'RE DONE WITH THIS STUPID GAME AND WE JUST WANT TO LEAVE. IT'S NOT EVEN NEW ANYMORE IT'S JUST SAD AND BORING, AND I'M SO TIRED OF IT. MOTIVE, MURDER, INVESTIGATION, TRIAL, EXECUTION, IT NEVER CHANGES. IT'S HAPPENED FOUR TIMES FOR GOD'S SAKE. DON'T YOU WANT IT TO BE FUN? SORRY SOPHIE, BUT THIS IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM FUN. AND SOMEONE JUST DIED AGAIN, A PRECIOUS LIFE HAS BEEN WASTED. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? ARE YOU?

Hanako grabbed Sophie by the collar and shook her as hard as she could. Sophie didn't even flinch.

Hanako: ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?

She punched Sophie in the jaw.

Hanako: FUCK YOU SOPHIE.

She punched her again.

Hanako: FUCK THIS KILLING GAME.

And again.

Hanako: FUCK MONOKUMA.

And again.

Hanako: FUCK EVERYTHING.

She let go of the ultimate programmer and allowed her to drop onto the floor. Sophie didn't say anything, she wore a blank expression, feeling the huge bruise on her cheek.

Sophie: Not the first time this has happened.

We all looked at Hanako for what to do next, but she had snapped back to reality.

Hanako: Oh god, Sophie- I'm so sorry- I'm so sorry...

Sophie just laughed. Her regular laugh.

Sophie: Don't sweat it. And hey, by punching the living hell out of me, you've now made the game more interesting.

Hanako: Wait that's not what I was trying to do-
