[Old] A Baby I Am

why did we decide on a baby motive of all things?

"I!- YOU'RE THE ONE WHO THOUGHT OF A BABY MOTI- motive Shirogane!"

Oma's ears hurt a little from the shouting and felt like he wanted to cry. Although he doesn't want to do that just yet.

"Monokuma. I said don't shout. Besides, I stand corrected, a baby motive is stupid we should change it."

'Oh no... no no no! This motive will be the most non-violent one! Don't change it, please! I don't want a scary motive...'

Monokuma sighed as he decided against Shirogane's opinion.

"No... Not yet..."

"Why not?!"

"A baby doesn't know what is happening in this killing game, they don't even know it's a game. Meaning our students would be on peer pressure as to not ruin a baby's mindset. It's a baby we're talking about. If they were to see a dead body many things would happen. Our students would be put on peer pressure!"

"But wouldn't that mean that they'd not kill each other?!"

"Sure, that too, but it'll also cause conflict for them. They'd be warier of their surroundings and even distrust their closest friends! It'd be so despairing! They'd be so paranoid too!"

"I guess you're right.."

'Oh my fucking god what the fuck is wrong with them?'

I wanted to vomit but I tried not to. Hearing murder is really fucking disgusting. I just...

I just want to get out of here...

With them safe...

With them not murdered...

Please...

Why did this have to happen?

Shirogane felt something wet land on her hand. She looked down to see Oma crying.

"H-Hey, why are you crying?"

Oma hadn't even known he was crying and hid his face.

'Quick! Make up a lie!'

He had failed to make up a lie as more tears spilled. Whenever he tried to say something it wouldn't be complete.

"I-I have to go now Monokuma... Before I do, what does this motive mean?"

'Please stop talking about this...'

"It's not a motive to kill, that's for sure. It's a motive to cause paranoia. If they distrust everyone, maybe they'd be like Toko Fukawa, eh? Except they'd actually kill if the motive is done of course. I don't think it even classifies as a motive! Just a way to test with our students."

'You're all so cruel...'

Shirogane nodded and ran back to the kitchen.

Monokuma stared at the closed door.

'So, Oma's memories are still here, huh?'

'Wow, great. Just great.'

A baby motive is stupid enough. It creates paranoia, sure.

Actually, I stand corrected, it'll be great. They'd distrust more people, and therefore when you manipulate someone to kill, they'd easily accuse them. They'd not believe them.

Let's just hope that people would still believe Oma...
