DanganRonpa : Amino's Despair

Ryukeshi's P.O.V

...Sakeshi, a student attending Hope's Peak High, with a discovered ultimate talent called the Ultimate Animator Student. Eventhough he had a talent like that, it was unfortunate for someone like him to be the first person to get killed...not by us but by Monokuma, the so-called principal of Hope's Peak High. It's like he said, the only way to leave this place is to kill someone without getting caught. Sounds easy to do but, how could you imagine yourself killing someone for the sake of leaving this place? That's absolutely crazy if you ask me! So...this situation is something I kind of recognize...the 16 of us are playing a game infected with the power of despair....

Right after Monokuma disappeared from the principal's office, the 15 of us started to search around Hope's Peak High for a way out. As what our leader, Levi, instructed for all of us to investigate the school and meet back in the cafeteria in 2 hours. I decided to go investigate with Darrow & Lara since they're the only ones I know. Eventhough I hate the guts of the students in the main course, I'd still show some team spirit to get out of this place. "R-Ryukeshi, what's wrong? Did something happen between you and me? (Dark Arrow)" "Oh...you don't know? As expected from a blur talented student unlike me... (Ryukeshi)" "So, it's about the courses in Hope's Peak High...Whether I'm in the main course or not, I would never hate my best friend who went to the reserve course. (Dark Arrow)" "Heh... such words spitting out your mouth is not going to change how I feel about be left useless in the reserve course! (Ryukeshi)" "Look, Ryukeshi, I know how you feel and I can't tell tha- (Dark Arrow)" "Shut up Darrow! You have no idea how much I was suffering where I could be happy, but I ended up facing despair instead! (Ryukeshi)" "Hey guys, come on, don't fight. If we want to get out of this place alive, we have to work together, okay? There's no point in fighting. (Lara)" "Yea, you're right... for once in your life.... (Dark Arrow)" "...Whatever... (Ryukeshi)" As the quarrel ended with Lara stopping us, I carried on investigating the highschool like Levi told everyone to do.

Two Hours Later...

As 2 hours passed by, I reported in the cafeteria with the rest of the students. "Good work Ryukeshi, you are on time after the search. (Levi)" "Thanks, I manage to discover whatever I could. (Ryukeshi)" "That's okay enough. We're still waiting for 3 students to be accounted for. (Levi)" I guess those 3 are Darrow, Lara & someone else..." "Oh, sorry I'm late guys, I had to hit the john before coming here. (Akuto)" "It's fine, lets now discuss about our search. Forget the other 2, they're taking too long. Anyway, Mewp & Satoshi, report. (Levi)" "Okay, we found the gymnasium & a swimming pool, but doesn't look like there was a way out from there. (Satoshi)" "Alright then. Kodoku, Nameless & Viollete, got anything to report? (Levi)" "...Yes, we found a massive safe at the front entrance of the highschool. Nameless smashed himself into it a couple of times and it doesn't seemed to be anyway of unlocking it. (Kodoku)" "That's right. Now my arm's starting to ache like crazy! (Nameless)" "Good to know. Akuto, Kokoro & Watase. You 3 got something that might help us?" "Yup, there's couple a classrooms and also a stairwell that leads to the 2nd floor. Unfortunately, the security gate is closed so there's no way of opening it without triggering a switch. (Watase)" "Oh yea, while walking to cafeteria, I found the infirmary which could be useful to us. (Akuto)" "Great! If anyone is injured, like Nameless, we could put the infirmary to good use. Me, Mochan, Manga & Asura were searching around here and found the kitchen with food & drink that restock each day has passed. As always, no way out from there. Lastly, Ryukeshi, Lara & Darrow. Got anything to share? (Levi)" Oh, it's my turn to report I guess. "Well, I found a basement and inside, there were a bunch of items that you would normally find in a tool shed. (Ryukeshi)" "A tool shed huh? Not really a good place that shows any way of getting out, that's for sure. Okay, I swear, where the heck are both Lara & Darrow?! Satoshi, go find them! (Levi)" "O-On it Levi! (Satoshi)" Geez, why does Levi need to treat Satoshi like a b*tch? Oh well, at least he's really helping us out. As minutes passed by, Satoshi hasn't returned with Lara & Darrow, which made me worried, like something's happened to them. "Hey Levi, I'm going to look for them if that's okay. (Ryukeshi)" "Whatever, make sure you return back here with the 3 of them. (Levi)" "Got it! I'll be right back! (Ryukeshi)" I dashed out of the cafeteria and went to go look for them. "Lara!.... Satoshi!.... Darrow!.... Where are you guys?! (Ryukeshi)" "Urgh..." In an open hallway, I spotted Satoshi on the ground and next to him.... were scratch marks....? Oh-no.... "Satoshi! Wake up! Satoshi! (Ryukeshi)" Oh good, he's alright, he just... fainted? Why though?.... Whilst waking up Satoshi, at the corner of my eyesight, I saw.... I saw something that I couldn't believe happening.... "Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! (Ryukeshi)" What I saw was.... Lara.... being jabbed several times deep in the stomach with sharp survivor knives.... T-This....This is.... something which I don't want to believe that it really happened.... if this what it means to kill without getting caught.... what kind of f*cked up life am I living in?....

STUDENTS LEFT: 14

"....Well, what an act the killer put on. Say, if you want to shine hope on who it is, I suggest you shouldn't be too confident on your risk...."
