20| The Mole Hidding In Our Midst

Naegi's Pov.

I was outside the gym doors watching Ohgami-san fighting against Monokuma, I can't seem to grasp the situation between them.

"How dare you defy me, this wasn't part of the deal!"

"I stand by my decision, no more regretting! No more groveling! No more looking back! I will face you."

"Is that so? Have you forgotten that I still got those hostages."

What does Monokuma mean about the deal and hostages...wait—so Ohgami-san is the mole?!

I shrugged the thought as I stopped eavesdropping and started to walk, I could feel my throat perched as I was craving for nothing but water.

'Maybe I should get some water.' I thought as I walked up to the kitchen, as I reached there, I saw a familiar person grabbing a snack.

"Hey Misaki-san, are you grabbing a midnight snack?" I was referring to the fried dumplings on her plate that she was holding.

"No, this is Celes' favourite food."

"A-Are you offering food to the decease? They're corpse aren't here."

"I'm putting this inside her room, she really loved these fried dumplings."

"I see... so your finally used to it now, Misaki-san, your composed that the others died, hence you didn't cried."

*Crash*

The plate of food fell on the ground as it shattered, leaving fragments of silver on the ground. I couldn't see her eyes because it was being covered by her bangs, horror filed her face.

"Composed? Use to it?"

"Misaki-san...?"

She grabbed collar, leaving the shattered plate on the ground be forgotten as she faced me, sorry filled her emerald orbs.

"Our friends died in front of our eyes, this pain... no one can get used to it! But, I didn't want to hinder anyone so I pretended that I was okay—"

Tears streamed down her cheeks as it dropped on the cemented floor, she was shaking, barely gripping on my collar... that's when I realised how insensitive I was now.

"The feeling that I felt when Celes died, it's so... painful! Do you call this as composed? Used to it?" She continued to grief at Celes-san's death as she continued to weep on the floor.

I'm an idiot, I didn't paid attention to her feelings... I didn't understand her. So I punched my cheek making her eyes widened as my butt crashed the ground.

"Naegi? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry about me." I said as I slowly stood up and faced her with my clear eyes.

"Anyways, I'm sorry Misaki-san. I was inconsiderate... so I'll make a promise to you."

"P-Promise?"

"I won't die! I won't make you sad! I will live through the end—you better do the same and don't leave me."

"Yeah... I wouldn't die and leave you."

She wiped her tears in the corner of her eyes and then she looked up to me and smiled weakly.

>>The Next Day>>

The 3rd floor opened for us as we started investigating, I stared at Ohgami-san for a while, and then broke contact as I started walking.
