Overwhelming Hunger

══════ •『 ♡ 』• ══════

        You and Gundham spent the day together until it became 10 p.m. Gundham kissed your hand before going back to Strawberry House, leaving you flustered.

You went back to your room, your face a soft hue of red (ignore if you have darker skin). When you got to your room, you saw that Hiyoko was already there. Her eyes were red and puffy, indicating that she had been crying. You went over to her and sat next to her.

"What's the matter, Hiyoko?" you asked, gently stroking her hair.

"I-It's not fair...! That stupid animal overlord freak, or whatever the hell! He doesn't deserve to spend time with you! I do!" she exclaimed in frustration.

You sighed and pulled her into a hug in an attempt to soothe her.

"There, there, Hiyoko... Just because I'm spending time with Gundham doesn't mean that I've forgotten about you. I mean, I can't just spend all my time with you. I need to talk to everyone else so that we're on good terms."

Hiyoko didn't want to hear it and instead decided to cling onto you tightly. You sighed and laid down, Hiyoko coming down with you. You spent the rest of the night comforting Hiyoko.

        The next morning, you were all gathered in Grape Tower to do something that Monokuma called 'Monokuma Tai Chi.' It only made you more hungry. So hungry to the point that you felt lightheaded.

When the exercise was over, you couldn't tell what the others were talking about, and, to be completely honest, you didn't care. You wanted to go back to bed so that you wouldn't have to worry about your hunger. That's exactly what you did.

Gundham took notice of you leaving and furrowed his eyebrows. He looked away, seeming to be deep in thought.

  "A body has been discovered! Now then, after a certain amount of time has passed, the class trial will begin!"

That announcement went off the next day. You laid in bed frozen, forgetting all about your hunger. You quickly got out of bed, moving over Hiyoko, who was still half-asleep, in the process.

You darted out of your room and looked around. You finally got to Grape Tower, where Hajime, Chiaki, and Sonia were gathered. Even though it had happened three times already, it still shook you to your core. Someone was dead... Instead of blood, however, their body was surrounded by a blue liquid... Nekomaru was dead.
