Control (Mastermind!Naegi)

II - Lies

Alright... I'll be the first to admit... I took a nap on the gym floor, so a few hours later, my head and neck were killing me. Fortunately, someone walked in, but they had to shake me awake. "Hey! Mooooorning, sleepy heeeead! I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader! Who are you?"

 "Huh....? Oh!" I sat up, rubbing my neck. "I'm Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Actor!"

"Oh! So your life's work is basically lies!"

"Exactly!"

"Well, that makes sense! After all, I can tell you've been doing so ever since I woke you up." I tensed. "I knew it."

"Hey, Kokichi? Look, can we meet up later? I wanna show you something!"

"Finally, an ounce of truth coming outta you! Okay, I will! Where do we meet up?"

"The library, nighttime, 2:00. Got it?"

"But that's the morning..."

"Don't question my logic."

"Okay, I got it. See ya there!"

I nodded, and paced, humming to myself. It was a familiar tune, that I love to quote. "The Distortionist," I believe...

The other imbeciles finally arrived. Monokuma appeared, and announced the killing game, along with the time limit. You moron, you were supposed to wait!!

"No way! We'll never do that!" Kaito yelled.

"Yeah!" I exclaimed, putting my acting skills to use. It may not be my actual talent, but that doesn't mean I'm not good at it! "Why are you making us do this?! What did WE ever do to you?!"

The bear flinched, but then realized I was acting. "Well, you wouldn't want to keep anyone bored, now would ya? So... Get killing! Upupupupu!!!" He vanished, and everyone was anxious, but we headed to our rooms. At 2:00, Kokichi arrived at the library.

"Hello? I'm here!"

"'Murder most foul, as in the best it is.' That would be Shakespeare, and I honestly couldn't agree more." I walked out the door behind the bookcase, but kept both open. "Come on in..." I shut the door behind us.
