Danganronpa: ocem

Chapter 5 Part 1

What is my purpose?

I must have been put on this earth for a reason. 

It couldn't have been this. 

Is this it?

What if this is it?

What if this is the head space?

Since I was small, he's always been there. He existed twice, one big and one small, but in a way they both gave me the same comfort.  

What did he exist for? What did they exist for, both of them?

...

...

...

I was sitting on that metal chair, stained with my own blood. He stood behind me, hiding from the cameras. He shouldn't have been there.

???: Do you understand who you are? Do you remember yourself?

He said.

???: Who? Who am I? 

???: Do you know?

???: I don't remember, but it feels different than before. 

???: What did they do to you?

???: I'm not sure. Something.

???: ...

???: I'm scared. 

???: Don't be. This is our time. I found a way to finally escape. 

???: Why must I?

???: They can't keep us here forever. 

I didn't understand at that point in time, that I had been the one to save his life. I had simply forgotten everything that had happened. 

???: Can you control it?

???: No, I'm already dead. Why do we have to escape?

???: Don't you want to? 

???: A little. 

???: If we stay, we die. Is that what you want?

Those were his last words to me.

The sharp sound of heels crackling on pavement echoed through the hall. They were headed towards my cell. 

I looked behind and he had gone.

My mother approached me. The other he stood next to her, glaring at me as if he no longer knew who I was. 

I wish he knew how much I tried to remember him and his words. The words he said to me. 

That one day I would leave my little head space. 

I would finally see the world. 

That is what the other he said.
