Dangan Ronpa:return to Despair Academy

The Madness

Everything was silent.For the first time in my life,I was in a situation where I was unable to think.Unable to process anything at all.It was like being suffocated.I was unsure of everything.I saw glimpses of a man with glasses,a girl wearing bandages on her arms and legs was giggling to herself...people with bear heads were everywhere.

For a moment I thought I was waking up.I still couldn't think.Green lights that appeared just underneath my closed eyelids.But before I could open them I slipped back into the recesses of my mind.

Suddenly,I wasn't in that place anymore.I was just surrounded by darkness.I could think once more and tried to discern what had happened.

I had thought I was murdered.I really thought that I was killed in the killing game.

Now everyone is going to discover my body and have to solve the mystery of who killed me...I should have left a hint of some sort!Done something to give them an easier time!

In reality I was not dead.Just bleeding on the floor of my dorm.But all I had known was that someone hit me in the temple with a long hard object.

A pipe?Where would they have gotten one though?And what are they going to do with my computer?Do they know about what's on it?Does that mean it was Takumi?!He was the only one that I told about it!

I was already trying to solve my murder in my head.Force of habit I suppose.But it wasn't until a while later that I wondered,Wait,shouldn't I have passed on now?To heaven or hell?So why am thinking right now?

I was regaining consciousness,and my heart leapt.I wasn't dead!

I could see blurry shapes all around me.They were talking to each other.I couldn't make out what they were saying yet.It was as if I were hearing things through a layer of bubble wrap.They sounded distorted and unnatural.

I felt the pain like a ton of bricks.My temple was burning and pulsing under a layer of gauze and bandages.

That's gonna leave a bump.

"Hey she's coming to!"

"Sh-Sh-Sh-Shizuko!!!"

"Give the girl room to breath."

I groaned in pain and realized I was laying in one of the infirmary beds.Surrounding me were Yoshio,Minako,Tomoko and Igao.There were other people talking in the room,but those were the only ones I could see.

"Shizuko do you feel okay?!"Minako asked.She was pale like a ghost.

Thinking about it...we were supposed to meet for breakfast...I asked her to gather everyone...so she's probably the one who found me...

I moaned in pain.Thinking hurt.

"I think that answers your question."Igao answered curtly.

That's not in his characterization...

"You gave us a heart attack Shizuko!"Yoshio was grinning in relief.

"Yeah!Shizuko's not allowed to clock out till the work hours are over!"I heard Maikos voice from somewhere.

So many voices...it hurts my ears...

I must have looked like I was ready to pass out again,because Takumi's voice sounded worried."Hey,we should get her some ice!"

I tried to groan a response.

"Thanks....Tacomi....."

"Huh?"Takumi sounded less worried and more confused.I heard a female gasp.
