Fanganronpa: Epigone

Epilogue

1 Month Later

Mizuno stared at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. Her dark hair was shorter now and she made sure to get brand new green glasses once she got out of that hellhole. Although some time has passed, she still woke up each day thinking she'd still be trapped in that school. Everything that happened seemed surreal: all of their friends, the mastermind, Masaru...

Mizuno shook her head at the thought. She wouldn't let herself get all depressed over his choice but couldn't help feel betrayed. In a way, she did understand why he did it. There was a past between those two that Mizuno knew her and the others couldn't compare to.

"Are you dead in there or what?"

Mizuno turned back to the bathroom door and opened it to reveal Seto who wore a sapphire blue suit with his usual golden eye shadow. He also had on a black fedora hat and black slacks.

"We're waiting for you and you're in here daydreaming," Seto said and Mizuno rolled her eyes.

The two made their way to an elevator that would lead them to the top of the tall building they were in. Once they reached their destination they walked out into a hallway then into a room that looked like it was used for business meetings.

There were large glass windows that showed the whole city below them and a tv on the left wall. In the center there was a long table that had a pepperoni pizza displayed with black swivel chairs around it where two other people sat.

Toma wore a black duffel coat and his dark hair was still shoulder length. There was black mascara under his eyes along with a silver cross earring that hung from his ear.

Winona was wearing a sky blue off the shoulder dress with a white bow in her blonde hair. She had on white sandals and Pinku was wrapped around her neck with her own little pink bow.

"Thanks for letting us use one of your father's meeting rooms," Mizuno said to Winona.

Winona smiled brightly. "Of course!"

"In other news, the rise of 4WD.CO still has the whole city shook from the recent events..."

Mizuno turned her attention to the tv along with the others and Seto turned up the volume.

"4WD.CO is a corporation made up of the four wealthiest families who have been secretly doing business together. The corporation had created a sinister killing game involving sixteen students who were supposed to be starting their first year of college."

Mizuno gulped as the feed showed multiple grieving families. She could tell whose parents were whose as a list of names ran at the bottom of the screen: Nakayama, Neyzi, Gibbs, Isao, Hisao, Yanagi, Bhatt, Sowle, Azumi, Susumu.

The feed then switched to a man and woman dressed in matching white clothing. At the bottom the title read: The Bushida Family.

"We absolutely had no idea what the Michio family was up to," the man stated angrily, "yes we have been involved in some... things, but this... this is psychotic!"

The woman sniffled. "We would have never partaken in such a thing. Our daughter is an ultimate for Heaven's sake!"

The four survivors then watched the screen change to another couple with the name the  Nakayama family at the bottom. The man wore a police sergeant uniform and the woman wore a red pan suit.

"This is outrageous!" The man was furious. "Our daughter was murdered in that disgusting experiment and you're asking us if we had any part in it?!"

The woman only wept as the screen changed once again to the Watanabe family who claimed the same thing then lastly to the Michio family.
