The spotlight shines upon this life and death performance

"Gooooood morning everyone! It is now 7am and so night-time is officially over. Let's greet this beautiful day with enthusiasm!" Monokuma's childish tone woke me from my slumber. I slowly rose from my bed with a yawn and rubbed my pale purple eyes. Upon leaving my room I came face to face with the Ultimate Wrestler. His broad frame made me look even smaller in comparison. I felt quite intimidated by him. He gazed down at me with piercing eyes which made me sweat nervously. He leaned closer to me with a stern look on his face. After a few awkward moments he let out a monstrous laugh.

"Ha ha ha, I like you kid normally people have run for the hills by now! What's your name?!" his voice was so loud it hurt my eardrums. He slapped my back and laughed again.

"I'm Okarine Hasagarwa." My response was nervous sounding. So people normally run do they?

"Hasagarwa-san..." he muttered to himself and nodded. "Okay I got it. I bet you want to know who I am, don't you?" he wore a huge grin on his face and gazed down at me once again. He took a deep breath then exhaled. "My name is Bukuro Taizi, the Ultimate wrestler! Ha ha ha!" He posed triumphantly with his hands placed firmly on his hips. "What talents do you possess Hasagarwa-san?"

"Well I'm quite good in kendo but my Ultimate talent is in archery."

"Archery and kendo, they are both equally difficult sports to master..." Bukuro began muttering to himself again. "I admire your determination that brought you the title of Ultimate Archer, Okarine Hasagarwa." He slapped my back again. Is this his idea of making friends? "Anyway we should be making our way to the dining area." He signalled towards the dining area at the end of the hall. "I came to tell the others that we were gathering for breakfast, it was Shinomiya's idea for everyone to familiarise themselves with one another."

"Okay, I guess we'll meet again in a bit." I waved to Bukuro as I left for the dining area.

When I reached the dining room there was only three other people present, Yuki Tairu, Naski Shinomiya and Kazuya Asagiri. I seated myself at one of the tables. Kazuya bounced over to me and a massive smile spread across her face.

"How's it going? Kazuya's name is Kazuya Asagiri and she is the Ultimate Drummer!" her voice was full of energy and enthusiastic. She looked like a fun person with lots of personality.

"It's going fine thanks. I'm Okarine Hasagarwa, the Ultimate Archer." I answered back with enthusiasm but I couldn't compete with Kazuya.

"Ah! You're an archer that's like so rocking!" her eyes sparkled as she shuffled closer.

"Well your talent is awesome too; I've never met a drummer before." I smiled back. "It's great that some people are so kind and approachable." Kazuya put her hands over her face as she tried to hide her blush.

"Darn it, why did you have to be so cute!" she shook her head while it was still buried in her hands. Everything she did was so dramatic and brimming with a contagious hyperactive energy.

Me and Kazuya spent some time together before everyone else showed up and grew closer.

After some discussion we all decided to make an official breakfast meeting for each morning in order to discuss any worries, discoveries and get to know one another.

When the meeting had concluded I went back to my room. There was still plenty of time left in the day so I decided to go find someone to talk to. I stepped out in to the hall and began searching. It didn't take long to see Yuki Tairu stood nervously near one the classrooms so I approached her.

"Are you okay Tairu-san?" my tone expressed concern.

She jolted and spun around, her face was full of fear. "Please don't hurt me..."
