Is this where I'll be staying for the foreseeable future? Oh, that's right. I should check the bathroom one more time before I go to bed. Alright, lets open it up.

Rattle Rattle

"It's no use. It really is locked." I said.

Monokuma came out of nowhere.

"Bzzt! Wrong! Not locked!" Monokuma said.

"Holy crap!" I yelped.

"Jeez, talk about an overreaction. It's like you just saw a ghost or somethin'! Like...some kind of...robot bear...ghost." Monokuma said.

"Wh-What are you doing here!?" I asked.

"Y/N L/N, this is super duper majorly bad! So bad it's almost magical! Ultra magical awful awful attack! In point of fact, I acknowledge that the bathroom in your room has a problem with the doorframe!" Monokuma explained.

"Wait, so the reason it won't open isn't because it's locked? The door just...doesn't fit?" I asked.

"Didn't you see the notice? What, can't you read? The bathrooms in the boys' rooms don't have locks! I mean, a lock on a boys bathroom is kinda pointless don't you think? Well, it's not that it's pointless, I guess. But I'm no expert on the birds and the bees and all that. Anyway, there's a little trick to opening this particular ill-fitting door. And that's what I'm here to teach you! Okay, ready? So you just gotta turn the doorknob, then lift up while you pull! Go ahead, give it a try!" Monokuma explained.

"Turn the door knob, And lift the door up while I pull..." I mumbled. When I did that, the door opened without a problem.

"Puhuhu...see? It opened right up! Isn't that crazy though? Your doors the only one that doesn't fit quite right! You're supposed to be lucky, right? But looks like you're not lucky at all! Anyway, I suddenly don't feel like being here anymore. Bye!" Monokuma said. Leaving.

"H-Hey! Wait!" I said. ...Dammit.

Ding dong, bing bong

"Mm, ahem, this is a school announcement. It is now 10pm. As such, it is officially nighttime. Soon the doors to the dining hall will be locked, and entry at that point is strictly prohibited. Okay then...sweet dreams, everyone! Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite..." Monokuma said.

Looks like it's nighttime. We all promised we wouldn't leave our rooms now.

"All I can do now is try and get some sleep..."

While still mumbling to myself, I collapsed into bed. My eyes closed almost immediately. It's not that I was ready for bed, exactly. I was just utterly exhausted. It was as if I'd spent an entire day staring at a Tv watching movies. Or like some kind of illusion where I'd been tossed into a made up fantastical world.

"Yeah, that feels about right...There's no way to just accept the situation we've suddenly been dropped into. " I said to myself.

So this is how the curtain closed on my first day at Hopes Peak Academy. Soon enough, I was Asleep. Would it be too much to hope that when I woke up, I'd realize it was all a dream? It's kind of lame as far as endings go, but I'd be fine with that. Actually, that's be the best...

...


"In any normal school, Mr. Monokuma would be a kind teacher. But when I think about What's coming up...I'm just so full of pride and joy. Our Ceremony earlier today was absolutely splendid. Thank you all very much. Remember that you're all students of Hope's Peak Academy, and strive to refine your ideals. I swear to you, I will send you all off into a new tomorrow!"
