Danganronpa: A Meaning of Meaning.

Chapter 2: Deadly life: Fool me twice.

Oh no..

No no no.....

Not again!

As the five of us looked at the corpse below us, we all froze up as we took the time to process that this happened.

Again...

Someone here killed Tsurugi.

B-but why!?

N-no one here has shown any kind of struggle or rage about anything, really?

Or did I just not notice it happening?

O-oh God....

I should've been more aware....if I was...maybe this wouldn't have happened...

"S-shouldn't the body discovery announcement play right about now!?" Erika asked.

And just like that, the unfortunately familiar sound of ringing soon appeared.

It rang throughout the room, and I think the entire building.

"A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! Please make sure to check your Kumophones to see where the location is. Just like before, you will all have time to investigate before we will commence the next class trial! Have fun, UKUKUKUKU!" The voice of Monokumo soon followed the ringing. Essentially taunting us after our most recent loss.

"You kids like that? Yeah I spent all night working on that announcement....oh we're still recording? Shi-" the spider said before it finally stopped talking.

We soon heard footsteps appear from outside the door. It was Sena, and Naoki who had gotten here from the library.

"Oh." Naoki said, speechless as he saw the body in front of him, while Sena went to do her...thing.

"I don't think all that chanting is going to solve anything, dear." Erika said to the exorcist as she urged her to back off from the corpse.

"B-but-"

"If you truly want peace for his soul, we can start by finding out who killed him." She said sternly to the brunette which caused her to relent in what she was doing.

"Good. We can talk about this later, if you want." Erika said to her as we soon heard more footsteps come upstairs.

"Holy-" Tsubasa said as he covered his mouth as everyone from the acting show appeared, and saw the body.

It seems with the death, everyone has their old talents back, judging from Umeko having her hair back up. Even if they never really lost it from what I can tell.

"Seriously...what the hell is wrong with you people..." Nijiko said as she turned to everyone in the room.

"Like, what do you mean!?" Urara said, sounding annoyed at her.

"One of you killed him, so why don't you fess up, already?" She said.

"Seriously? The person who literally sneaked out thinks we're like, more suspicious!?" Urara said, sounding even more annoyed. "Is your brain as small as your height?"

"Alright, bitc-"

"Okay, okay." Iona suddenly stepped in between the two of them. "I know we're now not trusting of each other, but I'm just saying, can we please make a temporary truce to make sure we don't have another murder?" Iona said.

"I quite agree with that. Just like how last time moping around didn't solve anything, if we want to solve this case, we must be ready to work together to investigate. That's horror movie rule number 1." Erika said which caused the two girls to stop their bickering.
