Danganronpa: A Meaning of Meaning.

Chapter 2: Daily Life(II): Lack of Conviction

Asumi's quite the confident person. Nothing seemingly gets to her, and she stays herself all the way through.

....Wonder how I can be like her.

At least, that's what I should be like, right?

Hm...

Let's start with...

Right...the message Asumi sent me...

- - . . - / -- . / .. -. / -- -.-- / .-.. .- -... / - --- -. .. --. .... - .-.-.-

....I have no idea what this is meant to be.

Sighing as I left Erika's lab, I noticed the other opened lab on the first floor. The one that I assumed was Mitsukuni's.

Previously, we had left it alone due to his request but considering he's not here well...

It's probably fine for me to go check out what's inside it.

Approaching the lab, I could still hear the loud noises of someone(Hikaru) talking away to someone else inside the room.

.... it'd be pretty awkward if I just went in, huh?

I'd definitely be interrupting their conversation.

....

Taking a step backwards, I decided to leave, and go back to the dorms or somewhere else but before I could do so...

I tripped again.

This time, backwards.

With a loud thud, my body came crashing down to the door, opening it, and making me land on my back as I unintentionally entered the lab.

.....

Kill me now...

"Reirei?" I got back on my feet, and could see Iona, and Hikaru sitting together while watching a television screen. Looks like they were talking together before I went in.

What do I do now...
-Stay, and talk
>Leave awkwardly.

"I-I'm sorry for interrupting whatever you two were doing, I-I'll go leave now-" As I got up to run in embarrassment, I felt someone grab my hand.

"You're just in time!" Hikaru said as he dragged me to the couch which he, and Iona were sitting on.

"Ooh! Handholding. Very lewd you two." Iona said with a chuckle as Hikaru seated me next to him.

I could now get a good look at the lab. It was a large brightly colored place with a bunch of... puppets all around the room.

There was a couch in the middle of the room which I was sitting on, and in front of it was a small TV, and a record player alongside several Video tapes lined up in a shelf near us.

"What's...happening..." I asked as I sat on the couch, and looking at the TV to see it being playing a video of sorts featuring...

Kaniska, and Antho?

"This is Mitsukuni's show! The bug life of Antho, and Kaniska!" Hikaru exclaimed loudly at me in a fanboying way. "We're watching season 16!"

16 seasons? That's a lot.

"W-wha-"

"I've been watching this show since I was a kid, and well-" Hikaru said loudly once more before suddenly stopping himself. "I mean...ahem. I used to watch this show as a kid, and uhm...I thought to watch it again now that I'm older?"
