Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

Not Alone

Despite my speech, nobody has really been feeling any better. Kiyotaka and Hagakure weren't as loud and excitable as they once were. They now just spoke normally and what surprised me most was that now.. Kiyotaka began to loose track of time. He began to grow later and later with every morning. Hagakure seemed to have been more focused on his crystal ball and began to make even more desperate predictions.

Toko didn't seem to shifted by the deaths. Though, its possible that she was just hiding whatever her feelings are below the surface. I have taken notice that she has the tendency to often lie or tell half truths so I can't be sure. Celestia didn't seem remotely phased, which surprised me. Seeing as how she offered herself to be (YN)'s "Queen", I'd expect her to be at least.. a little shaken up about it. Whenever I ask her about it, she would always sniffle and wipe her eyes and talk about how dreadful it was... unaware that I saw past her lies.

I was also surprised to see that Byakyua Togami himself was affected by his death. So much so, that he kept a chess game out and kept it as it was for their 8th and final game. Out of what I assume to be respect, he never moved any of the pieces. Not a single one. I even caught him and Kiri on separate occasions stand in front of his dorm and pay their respects to him..

Kiri even kept his digital notebook and studied any kind of information it had. She seemed determined to try and find more information on (YN). Needless to say, I helped her in anyway I could. Whether it be something like helping her interpret whatever the information may be, all the way to bringing food to her room. She did anything she could to make sure I was comfortable. She even let me hangout with her in her own dorm.

I did have to explain to everyone that it really wasn't to do anything with her. However, no one really believed me. It didn't help that Kiri didn't exactly disagree either...

Chihiro seemed absolutely crushed by time. With the fact that (YN) was bleeding as much as he had, coupled with the fact that we can't track him, Chihiro wasn't exactly in the best shape. His hair began to slowly grow less groomed as it normally would be, and his eyes now had bags and dark rings around them to symbolize a lack of sleep... He would refuse to leave his room and instead, he would focus on his laptop to do whatever he could to find a way to see if (YN) was alive.

As much as it hurt me to say it, We really didn't have any logical reason to believe he was alive.. but we couldn't give up.

Even now, I was doing my routine check up on Chihiro. I knocked on the door and opened the door. As I walked in, I raised a bag of fruits and placed it on the table next to where Chihiro was currently working. I glanced at the trash can and was relieved to see that he had been eating.. thank goodness.

Naegi: Today I got you some apples, some grapes, and Kiri told me to get you some water. Any progress?
Chihiro: A lot... Go ahead and grab Kyoko and Byakyua.. I'll inform you all on what's new today...

I nodded and left the dorm room to run and get Byakyua and Kiri. As I ran pass (YN)'s door, I paused and stared at his name plate... I liked his last name at least..

Naegi: I'm... I'm sure we will find you buddy.. just hang in there..

I ran to Byakyua's door and knocked on it. As he opened the door, he adjusted his glassed and looked down upon me.

Byakyua: Naegi?
Naegi: Chihiro found something that he wanted us to see. I'm not sure what it is, but it's important.
Byakyua: Hm. Very well. I'll be there as soon as I can.

I nodded as Byakyua closed the door. After a brief moment, He left his room and locked it after, knocking on Toko's door. The knock seemed to be a message of some sort, seeing as how Toko came out from her own room and put a book down as she locked her own door.
