I Can't Talk :(

Shuichi's just about fed up with this room by now. At first, he was kinda okay with it. At least he wasn't trapped in a killing game anymore. But still, he wanted to see if everyone was okay. But no~ you need to rest because you haven't walked in like, I don't know, a month? Shuichi sighed, falling back into the bed. I need to make sure people are okay, and... I need to apologize. He remembered what he said. He had no clue how Kokichi could have felt about that comment, but he just wanted to apologize. In the heat of the moment, he'd said something he regretted quite a lot. Is Kokichi even alive? He wondered. He wicned slightly, staring at the white ceiling. Considering the circumstances of Kokichi's death... there was a chance he wouldn't be the same.

There was a knock on his door. Shuichi sat up, tilting his head slightly. His heart beat sped up, realizing what this could mean. If it had been a Danganronpa Staff Member, they would have just came in. But, this person knocked. "Come in!" Shuichi called out.

The door opened, and in walked someone Shuichi never expected to see again.

Kaede Akamatsu.

(A/N I really jebaited you there, didn't I?)

"K-Kaede!" Shuichi stuttered.

Kaede ran up to him, shaking her head. There was a fearful expression on her face. "We can reconvene later, there's an issue!"

Shuichi quickly stood up, panic filling him. "What?! What's wrong?!"

Kaede bit her lip, shaking her head again. "It's hard to explain, but you need to come with me!" Kaede grabbed Shuichi's hand, dragging him down the hall. He hadn't seen if before, and was immediately lost. Thankfully, Kaede was there to guide him. She came to a stop in front of a door, her face scrunching up with worry. "This is... Kokichi's room...."

"Kokichi?" Shuichi asked. He thought for a moment, before his eyes widened. "What's wrong?"

Kaede winced. "We don't know. I just... I just hoped that maybe you could get the answer out of him? He refuses to talk to anyone."

Shuichi nodded, grabbing the handle of the door. "Okay, I'll go look." Kaede nodded, staying outside of the room. He entered, closing the door behind him.

"Kokichi?" Shuichi questioned. Kokichi looked away from the window in the room, grinning at Shuichi. He gave him a quick wave, but still remained silent. That's... odd. He'd usually call me a name or something by this point.... Shuichi walked towards him, finding a small chair to sit in. Kokichi shifted over, getting a little closer to his face. "Kokichi, what's wrong? Kaede came to my room and dragged me over in a hurry... I'm worried about you."

Kokichi tilted his head, before he sighed. He swung his legs over the side of the bed, sitting up properly. He tapped his lip, thinking for a moment, before he smiled. He then pointed to himself. "Kokichi...?" Shuichi didn't really understand what Kokichi was doing. Kokichi frowned, pointing at himself again. Shuichi tilted his head, thinking for a moment. "'You'...?"

Kokichi smiled, nodding his head. He then made an X sign with his arms. Shuichi thought for a moment. "'Dont'?" Kokichi shook his head, reiterating the X sign again. "'Won't?" Kokichi sighed, making a C with one of his hands. "'Can't?" Kokichi grinned again, nodding.

He then opened his mouth, making a gesture as if something was coming from his mouth. Shuichi's eyes widened. "You can't talk?!"

Kokichi nodded, giving Shuichi a thumbs up. He made one of his hands flat, smaking his other hand down on it. "This is because of the hydraulic press, isn't it?" Kokichi opened his mouth to say something, but caught himself, sighing. Shuichi frowned. It must suck for him. He used to talk so much.... Kokichi huffed, kicking the side of the bed. Yeah, he's upset. "Do you not have any paper or anything? Something to write on?" Kokichi shook his head, a slightly mad expression on his face. Shuichi frowned. "I'll see what I can do." Kokichi blinked, a little surprised at that response. "There is something I'd like to say to you, but... I'll leave that until we don't have to play 20-dimensional chess for you to tell me three words." Kokichi snorted, in which SHuichi smiled. I guess it won't be too bad....
