Danganronpa THH: Resurgence

Chapter 4: Your Words, Not Mine

The first rays of the morning sun begin to filter through the window, they illuminate the once-dark and shadowy corners of your room. The light dances playfully across the walls and ceiling, casting a warm and inviting glow that beckons you to start your day. The gentle warmth of the sun's rays on your skin fills you with a sense of renewed energy.

You rub your eyes and sit up from your bed, looking around the room. It's a mess, but you always tell yourself that you will clean it tomorrow. You never do.

Footsteps rapidly approach and you see your siblings peek their heads through the door before rushing at you.

"Yo, (F/N), get your ass up. The successor is going to be picked today!" Akihito, your little brother, shouts. His bright orange eyes look at you and his clean-shaven blue hair moves with the draft in the room.

"Successor?"

"Inquiry: What is the next successor? Explanation: 'Father' will choose the next head of the family," Reina, your sister, says. Her calm orange analyzing eyes look at you carefully as her disheveled hair black hair falls slightly at her waist. "Prediction: You will most likely be chosen."

"How could your dumbass forget the succession?" Akihito laughs. "It is hard to believe that you are even a candidate."

"I think I will pass on being the successor. So, I am just going to lie in bed."

"Don't be like that." Toji, your older brother, walks in and sits on your bed. He towers over everyone in the room, his black hair and grey eyes look intimidating, but hides a soft expression."You're a smart guy, (F/N). I just wish you put your talents to use. That's why I think you should become head and not our other 'siblings.'"

"Ah, yes, if only our father wasn't too busy whoring around all day we would not have so many siblings. Too bad our mother is not here anymore."

"Hey, for what it is worth I am glad to be your guy's older brother. It is us against the world out here."

"Suggestion: Hug?" Reina opens her arms and looks at her brothers expectantly.

Toji with his large arms pulls everyone together in a bear hug, practically squeezing the life force of them.

"Agh, this is too much!" Akihito yells.

"Emotion: Regret."

"You're overbearing."

Toji smiles and lets go of them, sympathetically bowing his head. "Ah, I am sorry, I guess I went overboard."

"You think?! I am going to need a new fucking back!" Akihito smiles. "But I enjoyed it though. It's nice to be with you guys!"

"At ease....I feel."

"But, listen (F/N) I will not force you to do anything but please....become our hope. Your mind is something special, you know? You can reorganize this clan and make the world a better place. And, you don't have to do it alone. You'll always have us on your side."

"Yeah! I'll always be there to support your dumbass!"

"Reina....loves her brothers..."

"Ugh, you guys are so lame."

"Then I guess we're your lame siblings."

"...that's fine..."

"So you'll do it?"

"I don't know, Mister Former Ultimate Motivator."

"Aha, that was a long time ago. No need to call me that." Toji flashes a smile. "I am just your older brother."
