Danganronpa: Despair to Prodigy's

Murder #1

(Bell POV)

I was alone in my room. It was right after I saw all my friends tragically die right before my eyes in the motive video.

'Welf, Lily, Mikoto, Haruhime...' 

As I was lost in thought I heard a knock on my door.

"Ah..."

I quickly got up and opened it, it was Hestia.

"Hey, Bell," Her voice sounded happy despite just being shown the video...She's really amazing.

"Hey," I tried to respond with a smile as best as possible. "Take a seat,"

I sat on my bed and she sat on the chair at my desk

"...You're worried about whoever you saw in the video right?" 

"..." I didn't answer but it should have been obvious enough

"You gotta believe that they're ok. If you don't do that then no one will make it through...So just believe,"

I looked at her eyes and she seemed to be just believing, nothing more nothing less.

'That right...I have to believe they're ok,'

"Thanks, Hestia, I feel a lot better now,"

"Hehe! No problem!"

Then there was another knock on the door, I went over to it and answered. It was Horikita.

"We're meeting in the cafeteria for a meeting. Your presence would be appreciated,"

She then closed the door and walked away. I stood up and Hestia followed. I opened the door and saw that Horikita was now heading back to the cafeteria, I also then heard yelling.

I ran over and saw Shinobu grabbing Kyoko's shirt.

"YOU THINK THAT JUST DOING NOTHING WILL HELP?!" Shinobu screamed

"It won't help but what else will we do? Tell me what plan you have," 

I looked around and everyone was there except Ayanokoji. 

"That's enough," Horikita said "Settle down and let's properly discuss this. I want to make sure that everyone is still clear, that killing is still unforgivable regardless of what you see. Am I understood?" 

"...You can't seriously be that cold-hearted right?" Naruto intervened "I mean, even though I understand that we can't really do anything you can't just tell us that doing nothing is the plan. At least give us something,"

"What would you want then? I believe that by waiting, hopefully, the upper floors will open. That way we can hopefully collect more information. Waiting longer will also give others more of a chance for a large-scale savior mission. We know that whoever Monokuma is, is powerful but if we wait we can at least expect some sort of rescue," Horikita countered

"I think that while waiting is going to be the best option I can't trust the others with this. I think everyone else can feel as I feel as well," Rias said 

Everyone then eyed each other suspiciously. Some people had someone they could trust though. Issei and Rias were close together, as were Hestia and I. Emilia and Subaru were also looking like close friends too. Kyoko was alone right now though, I wonder where Ayanokoji was?

"I understand your concerns. That is why belief is important in this situation," Horikita then eyed Emilia, the ultimate believer hoping she could do something.

"Ah...umm..." Suddenly being put on the spot she was a bit sheepish but then she stood up. "I know this is a lot. But let's just stick with our buddies and then slowly start to earn each other's trust back. And if you can't trust your buddies then just feel free to join them back once you feel comfortable,"
