A Sleeper's Destination

Prologue

A/n: This is all written from Kokichi's perspective.

I ran away from the rather large building, it's height intimidating. Though, that's not what made me the most weary and resentful of the building. It was the logo, the rather large one at that. However, while I was running, I failed to notice someone in front of me. Well, I hadn't notice until I crashed into them. The two of us stumbled, and fell to the ground. I groaned, a mild headache coming on. Pushing myself off against, whatever I was on, I looked down to see what I was actually on-top of. My eyes widened in surprise from what I saw.

A girl looked up a me, with bright and piercing yellow eyes. Her hair was a snowy white, and sprawled out around her. By the looks of it, her hair was normally straight, and would probably go to just bellow her shoulders. Her bangs were styled the same way, only they were just above her eyes. A comically over sized black hoodie was what the girl wore. Only the hoodie had bear ears, and the pocket was a dark grey. Light grey sweatpants covered the girl's legs, bright yellow sneakers were on the girl's feet. She seemed mildly surprise, before she gave me an amused smile.

"Mind getting off of me?" She inquired. Her voice was honeyed. It sounded gentle, and had an undeniable kindness behind it. Ignoring this, I scrambled off of her in a panic. She laughed as if I hadn't just ran into her. After getting up, I stepped back, away from her, cautiously. However, she didn't seem to have the same view of the situation as I did. Instead, she got up and stretched, a yawn leaving her lips.

"I-I'm sorry, I hadn't been paying attention to where I was walking." I stuttered out an apology. The girl before me just raised an amused brow. Her posture was completely relaxed, not tense at all. She had put her arms in her hoodie's pocket. There wasn't any sign that the girl was closed off to a conversation. Though she did look a little tired. Her pale skin making the bags under her eyes a little obvious.

"I could say the same for myself, if I had been paying attention this wouldn't have happened." The girl denied my words. She also muttered something else under her breath, but I couldn't actually hear her say anything else. "Why were you in such a hurry anyway?" The girl added. I bit my lip and looked behind me, and the looming building. Although I had gotten some distance, I was still closer than I wanted to be. "Ah, the Team Danganronpa building." She sighed, I glanced back at her. Shuffling anxiously, I awaited her judgement. After most learn that I don't actually like Danganronpa, they don't tend to have the best reactions. Actually, they have the opposite of a good reaction. Most exclaim, how could I possibly not like the show? The effects from the Ultimate Tragedy still very clear and prominent. The girl looked annoyed, but it didn't appear to be directed to me at all. "I'm not a fan of the show either. Honestly, I find it disgusting. I'm assuming that's why you were running anyway, unless I interrupted your action's wrong." The girl stated. Her eyes eyed me patiently. Her tone, that had been warm and kind before, had turned cold just from the mentioned show. Her eyes seemed to look right through me, accessing my reaction. It made me feel small, and vulnerable, not to mention guilty.

"N-No you're right. I can't stand the show either." I responded truthfully. Swallowing, I couldn't help but feel disgusted with myself. When I actually manage to find someone that also dislikes the show, it has to be right after I just auditioned for the damn thing?! However, the girl didn't seem like she could actually sense my silent regret. In fact her eyes softened, and she gave me a gentle smile. Which honestly just made me feel even more guilty.

"Yeah, it can get extremely gruesome." She winced, just from the thought of it. Shaking her head, as if to dismiss the thought, she continued to smile. "Anyways, I need to get going. I promised someone I would meet up with them later today." The girl informed me, with a lazy wave of her hand. After words, she began to walk off. I watched her curiously, she passed the looming building with no hesitation. I didn't hear any lies in her words, but I had watched just to make sure. Biting my lip, taking one more glance at the building, I moved on. Instead, I started making my way home. To the orphanage.
