noun
1. the theory and practice of dramatic composition.
hajime felt his hands tremble as he clutched at his podium. the evidence. it was all stacked against him and chiaki. but what was he meant to do? he wasn't- no- he couldn't throw her under the bus like that. everyone looked at him. voting time was coming up and he knew it.
knew it already fine, misery inside
at myself, I would laugh, fallen down behind
the boy looked around at everyone's disbelieving faces. he would be damned if he started crying. "you all... really think I'm the traitor-?" he asked, his tone showing signs of obvious betrayal and pain. the whole trial room stayed silent. a sharp pain went through his chest.
but I don't know a thing, love or losing, see?
so I threw to the side any human in me
hajime had to stay strong if anything, he knew what was going on. but he couldn't show any signs of weakness. not for the slightest second. "that's absurd! if I was the traitor, I would have given up my act by now!" he blurted out, his disbelief bubbling inside him.
"where's your proof you're not the traitor?"
his heart sank
if I live a lie of shallow words and empty replies
then what am I?
"w-what? proof?" he asked, half-stunned by the sudden question. his face turned red. he... had no proof. he heard monokuma laugh, making his stomach churn. "m-my word should be enough, shouldn't it?? we've come this far together, I refuse to believe there's even a traitor among us!"
"you sound just like nagito."
hitting walls of a stage that I couldn't break
then it stuck in my head, gotta run away
"n-no, I don't! if there really is a traitor among us then... it can't be me!" the whole room was quiet. "and whyyyyy not?" monokuma asked sarcastically, his permanent smile boring into hajime's soul. he thought for a moment. "w-well... um..."
"you are a reserve course student, aren't you?"
he was. he couldn't deny that. nagito had made that more than obvious. why wouldn't he be the traitor?
playing out like a scene, posing every lead
near the end of the show, waiting in the wing, see?
