"[Y/n] darling, you'd help me right? I'd share the money with you."

Does she think I'm stupid?

I'm currently stood with Celestia in her dorm room. I no longer dare let anyone catch a glimpse of my room except for Byakuya.

Celestia fell for the money motive. It's a shame really, these blackeneds never do make it out in the end do they? And she wants me as an accomplice, probably to do her dirty work.

In case you missed it she's setting up Grease Ball into killing Taka and then killing him in order to become the blackened. Why she wants my help I don't know? Perhaps she thinks I'm stupid, and will pin the blame on me and give herself an alibi. There are perks to seeming clueless in this game, but it's not my fault that I'm just so bored.

"[Y/n], you'd do it right? After all we've been through..."

You dropped me at the snap of a finger...

"Yes fine I'll help you, how do we split the money and how much do I have to do."

Don't you even worry, I know what I'm doing. I will be making it out of this next round alive. And don't you dare think for a second I may actually cheat. I play fair.

Celestia explains the plan in detail. I won't explain her explanation in detail though as my memory serves all I can bother to remember. Basically I'm assisting her kill Hifumi since she's too much of a princess to do it herself- I mean, not that that's a bad thing. I love her to bits.

She discusses timings and whatnot when monokuma announces nighttime.

"Tonight [y/n]... you dont sleep."

Oh yeah it's tonight by the way, seems I may have forgotten to mention that.

"Goodnight Celeste."

I leave the room and go to my own dorm to prepare. I enter the surveillance room and watch the cameras, overseeing Kiyotaka's inevitable death, and wait for Celeste to leave her own room. I could actually stick to her timings but I'd rather not get places early, it might be.... suspicious.

A few minutes pass and my eyes perk to see celestia leave her room. I too make my way out of my dorm, knife in belt. I didnt think I'd be an active participant in a murder here. I must say, it's very thrilling in comparison to watching the games drag on.

I allow Celestia to meet with Hifumi and discuss that the murder was carried out only to here the horrific squelches and yelps of pain which was a sign that I was to jump in and help.

I step into the room, knife in hand but it trembles. Yamada was already looking pretty rough.

"I honestly don't think you need my help- AGH!"

I immediately wince and fall over myself onto the floor. I could feel the slash across my stomach pulsing. I curl myself up to apply pressure to myself, numbing the pain.

Celestia gasps and I hear a clank of metal hit the floor. She stomps on him with her heal then kicks him aside, even though he doesn't move much.

She crouches down next to me and turns me over to see the wound.

"Hifumi still had a blade on him [y/n]"

"I need to get you to the nurses office quickly! Before you fall asleep."

I can't lie I didn't not see that attack coming.

"Celeste... make sure he's dead first."

"He's dead. Come on get up."

Monokuma pops up out of nowhere.

"Puhuhu [y/n] what happened to you?! You should not be playing this late at night girls! Come on miss ludenberg, off to bed you go, I'll deal with miss bartender over here."

I struggle to speak as the slash across my stomach makes me feel like my vocal cords are removed. It feels like my insides have been gutted.

Monokuma drags me along the floor and down the stairs to the infirmary where I fall asleep without any clue what will be happening, and that has never happened to me before.

---

There's severe banging on the door.
Oh my God who could it be this time?

I try to ignore it and just fall back asleep but it just gets louder and louder and louder and louder and louder and louder and I get up.

I groan as I get up from my bed and open my door. There's no one stood outside my dorm. Just as I'm about to shut the door a pair of scissors is launched at me-

And I wake up in the infirmary. The world around my is blurry and i can't even lift my head. I can't feel my legs, my arms, my hands, my torso. I feel empty. My brain feels foggy as I try to focus on remotely anything at the moment.

However one thing I do see in my cloudy view, in the corner of my peripheral vision. He's here. Why is he here?

"Are you awake yet?"

He said coldly and impatiently.

I don't say anything. I don't feel I have it in me. So I just allow myself to stare in front of myself and wait to regain some stability.
