Doki Doki Literature Club: Afterstory

Chapter 73: Papa, Can You Hear Me?

Monika, I'm sorry. It's not my fault you're finally the center of attention.

Well, the LEAST you could do is make me... um... do something good, I dunno!

But stuff like abuse and being hurt gets all the views on Wattpad and WorldStar and YouTube. I mean, look at Doki Doki Exit Music!

Do you really think abuse is the right word to use?

Well... Wattpad's full of stories about abuse. WorldStar's always got something considered abuse on it {thank BlasphamousHD for his vids on them} and YouTubers like Ronald McOnePunch have covered Doki Doki Exit Music, which is all about Natsuki's fucking piece of shit dad.

...morbid, yet fair point.

See?

I mean; *exhale* what's the catch here?

Catch?

As in, the big mysterious twist?

Sayori.

...you monster.

I know I am. Stop stating the obvious. You'll make me blush.

And here I was, thinking I was the center of attention~.

Shut it, or you'll be next.

5:09 P.M. Monika's POV

After waking up, I get a serious migraine, and I hold my head, tears rolling down my eyes, and Yuri instantly wakes up before tapping my shoulder softly.

"Monika? Are you OK?" Yuri whispers.

I don't move, because I can't.

"I... don't... know." I respond slowly, and Yuri steps off of the bed before reaching her hand under my legs and onto my back.

"Let's get you up." Yuri whispers, and she slowly picks me up, making me wince a bit when she gets halfway, and she looks to me.

"What?" Yuri asks.

"...a little to the left." I order, and she follows, making the migraine go away before I nod slightly, and her demigoddess eyes catch this, making her slowly pick me up bridal style, and I slowly reach my arms around her neck to avoid making my brain quake again, and Yuri smiles.

"Don't worry. If you need a doctor, I'll get one." Yuri explains before bending down and kissing my forehead, the coldness of her lips on my scalding forehead sending shivers down my spine.

"Can you use code?" Yuri asks.

"I don't want to test it." I whisper.

Yuri nods as she slowly turns around, and I shift a bit closer to her, making Yuri hold me closer herself as she walks out of the door slowly, and as soon as she sets me on the couch downstairs, I hear rapid footsteps coming down the stairs followed by Yuri shushing them, and the footsteps instantly stop. The footsteps get soft and slow as it shows to be Natsuki and Sayori, and they look at me with worry.

"Is she gonna be OK?" Natsuki asks, and I look at them, smiling weakly.

"What even happened to her?" Sayori asks.

"...m-migraine..." I mutter, and Sayori sits next to me, putting her hands in mine.

"Don't worry, Monika. I'll be right here the entire time. I-- no, we love you, Monika. We owe you so much. This is our redemption to you." Sayori explains before she kisses my cheek, and I smile at them before tearing up, and Natsuki rushes over to the other side of me while Yuri sits in front of me.
