Danganronpa: DISCONTINUED

Titles and Roles

Chihiro's POV
A sudden shriek echoed through the building. I turned to Aoi in a panic as her eyes widened...

It was Celestia's scream.. and Naegi was with her.

We both tried our best to sprint to their location, though Aoi helped me keep up. Once we met back up with everyone else, I was surprised to see Byakuya and Toko, or should I say Sho, making their way to us.

Once we opened the door, I only saw Makoto Naegi on the floor, holding his head as Celestia tried to comfort him in any way she could.

Byakuya: What happened? Out eith it!
Celestia: Makoto defended me.. in doing so, he was injured. Justice Robo made his way towards the physics lab..!
Byakuya: Hm. He's cornered himself then-

To my dismay, Sho suddenly sneezed and returned to Toko Fukawa, who grabbed her braids in a panic as she looked up to Byakuya for help and safety.

Aoi: Will you pick a personality already?!

Another shriek echoed through the halls, this time, it was coming from the Med bay... Hagakure!

Byakuya: Damn it all. One thing at a time! Fukawa, come with me to hunt that robot. Celestia, Naegi, you two will come with Asahina and Fujisaki to the med bay to check on Hagakure!
Toko: Y-Yes sir!
Celestia: That seems to the best course of action!

As Naegi groaned and held his head, Celestia helped him back to his feet. Though he struggled, Aoi picked him up over her shoulder with a staggering amount of ease as we all raced to the med bay.

Once we opened the door, we were welcomed to a gruesomely beaten Hagakure as he laid there, seemingly dead on the floor as even more blood surrounded him. Next to his body was yet another hammer... Justice Hammer 3.

Aoi: Did.. D-Did he pass out?
Celestia: Odds are that he's dead...

While the Celestia tried to investigate and Aoi rested Naegi for a moment, I picked up the hammer... it was Number 3...

Before any conclusion could be reached, An announcement was made by Monokuma himself...

Monokuma: Dun Dun Dun! Corpse alert, Junior detectives! You all know the deal! Investigation, then TRIAL!

As bits of confetti fell scattered the screen, the announcement was finished.. leaving Celestia as she tried to come up with evidence and clues, and Aoi while she was trying to comfort Naegi.

Celestia: Chihiro. Go to the others and tell them Hagakure is dead.
Chihiro: R-Right..!

As I ran away from the med bay and towards the physics lab, I felt a cold, sickening feeling in my stomach...

We're friends, right..? If so, why have I grown used to the feeling of a body being discovered..? Why do I now act so casual about it..?

It isn't right... None of us would have even killed each other if we just talked and set our pride aside for a moment..! No one would have to have died if we all just saw what I (YN) saw..

That regardless of money, titles, skills, or anything else, we were all trapped..

I tried to ignore these thoughts. They would only make this feeling grow and fester into something worse...

Once I finally made it into the physics lab, I bumped into Toko and stumbled back, looking up to see Toko trying to help me up.

Toko: C-Careful not to look..! Master Byakuya i-is working..
Chihiro: Why..? W-what happened?
Byakuya: Kiyotaka Ishimaru is dead. To make matters worse, the killer made his escape before we got here. Another one of these silly toy hammers have been used. But four.. Why is this not three?
Chihiro: N-Number 3 was used t-to kill Hagakure..
Byakuya: You're joking..!

We rushed back to the Med bay, but we were welcomed to the shock of Hagakure's body being nowhere to be found...

Byakuya: What!? How did this happen?
Aoi: We were in the bathroom for just a couple of minutes.. then.. then when we came back-
Celestia: This must be the killer's handiwork..
Toko: I-I'm.. so confused..
Celestia: We're going to die.. Picked off one by one until there's.. no one.. exactly like they were...
Byakuya: Why would the killer have made a get away with The corpse? Two murders with mere moments between them. And What little evidence we've had has been moved.
Aoi: What, what?! TWO murders?!
Celestia: What do you mean?
Byakuya: Kiyotaka is no longer among the living.
Aoi: NO! We-We're all gonna die here.. A-All of u-
Naegi: No..!

Naegi groaned and held his head, he stood up from the medical bed and tried his best to kneel to Aoi's height as she slumped down along the drawers of the med bay.

Naegi: T-There is.. Hope. We won't die.. not here..
Aoi: B-But..
Naegi: Thinking like that.. is.. is exactly what Monokuma wants..!

Celestia's eyes softened as Naegi, despite being injured, was doing his best to comfort his friend..

That's when a realization came to me..

Chihiro: Kiyotaka..! We j-just left him!
Byakuya: Damn it! Fukawa!
Toko: O-On it!

We all rushed and returned to the physics lab, we were all flabbergasted to see that Kiyotaka's body was also gone...

Byakuya: The bodies.. They have to be hidden somewhere!
Celestia: Why bother hiding them at all?
Toko: T-There's a maniac on the l-loose..!
Chihiro: And Robo Justice hasn't been found yet..!
Byakuya: I urge you all to think clearly! The murders have to have happened in a sequence. It's impossible one person to have carried out all this! We all must try to locate the bodies!

And so we did. We spent what felt like an hour searching, but we have had little to no luck.

However, that's when we found them... They were in what seemed to be a sort of Yoga room..

Aoi cried as Naegi did whatever he could to comfort her. Toko and I followed shortly, up until Kiyotaka's corpse began to move and struggle...

We all steadily tried to help the Hall monitor up, but he gave out a few short breathes as he panted...

Kiyotaka: Y-Ya...su..hiro..

As he drew his last breath, and his now dead form laid limp on the floor, yet another Announcement was made...

Monokuma: Okay kiddies! Stop me if you heard this one. Investigation, then Trial!

...

Everyone tried their best to come up with any evidence that could have been mustered from our combined efforts... however, with Byakuya being more snappy due to the confusion, Naegi's head injury, and Aoi's grief... it was up to Byakuya, Celestia, and... Me..

I... I'll try my best.!
