ジレンマ : 𝐊. 𝐎𝐌𝐀 (HIATUS)

𝟔 : 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐎𝐅 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒

A few days had passed since Monokuma announced the time limit. The last day was finally here, and you could see the horror in everyone's eyes. If no one died that day, well...everyone would.

You wanted out. You were tired, so tired, of being scared for your life. But you didn't want to die either. Somebody needed to kill someone, as much as you hated to admit it. And you couldn't help but think, what if that someone was you?What if you took the first blood perk and escaped from the school?

"What?" You whispered to yourself, shocked that you even thought of that.

You couldn't believe it. The thought of murder crossed your mind.

That wasn't your only time thinking about it. Throughout the two days you've been awaiting your death, the thought has crossed your mind multiple times. Hell, there'd even been times where you would catch yourself making a plan.

But what stopped you was Kokichi. You couldn't stand the thought of him looking at you like you were a murderer. Besides, you couldn't leave him in the school alone anyway.

Sitting up from your bed, you immediately rushed to the sink to splash your face with cold water. You looked in the mirror in front of the sink with disgust. You couldn't even recognize yourself anymore. Your eyebags had gotten worse, your lips were chapped, and you were slightly skinnier. Ever since you arrived, you hadn't eaten much.

But you weren't just disgusted with your physical appearance. You were disgusted with your mind, your thoughts. Just a moment ago, you were thinking about murdering someone to escape. How did you become so desperate?

You shakily did your morning routine, then walked to the dining hall. Hopefully seeing everyone's faces would get the thought of murder out of your mind.

--

You entered the dining hall, but surprisingly, not everyone was there. It was only Kaede, Shuichi, Rantaro, Ryoma, Angie, and Kirumi.

Once you opened the doors, Kaede looked at you pleadingly. "(Y/n)! Please, will you talk Ryoma out of this?"

You walked up to the group in confusion. "Talk him out of what?"

Ryoma looked up at you. "I want somebody to kill me so more people can survive. I have no reason to live anymore, but everyone else does. That's why I'm willing to give my life to you."

So much for getting your mind off of murder. They were literally talking about murder. No matter though, you still had to put your own feelings aside and deal with the matter at hand.

"Ryoma," you sighed. "Please don't think like that. Everyone has a reason to live, just as everyone deserves to life. Just stay alive, and we'll figure out another way to save everyone, okay?"

He shrugged. "If you have a better idea to stop this time limit and escape this place, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise, this is the best solution."

"Ryoma, there's no need for that." Rantaro smiled. "Because I'm going to end this game. I've already decided."

You gulped, "What's your plan?"

He smirked. "It's not about outfoxing everyone in this killing game, it's about ending the game itself."

Somehow, Kiyo entered the dining hall without catching anyone's attention. "Can you even accomplish such a feat?" He asked from behind you.
