We walked into the cafeteria to see something that shocked everybody, for once, even me. It was Sakura fighting Monokuma. It was weird, they were talking about something like betrayal, and all the other students. I didn't really care about that, until I heard something else.
"Traitor"
Turns out Sakura was a traitor, who basically sold all of us out. This broke Aoi's heart. They were best friends, so I can't blame her for being distraught. In fact I knew exactly how she felt. It felt awful, like what this game was all about...despair. I clenched my fists, whoever was the mastermind probably knew this was going to happen, they're probably relishing the despair that Aoi is right now. Whoever the mastermind is, I'm going to find out.
The deal Monokuma said was if somebody didn't die, everyone but Sakura would die and she'd survive. While he said this, I noticed Byakuya glaring at me. How much does he want me dead? I can't answer that, I just know he wants me dead. He still thinks I'm the mastermind behind all this. Ah well.
I wondered what we could be able to do, nobody here now seemed that much like a killer, even Byakuya wanting to kill me was more of an assumption....that night I was walking down the hallway, just thinking, I knew someone was walking behind me. I looked behind me to see Togami.
I could tell he was holding something, I'm just not sure what it was at the time, but I assumed it was a knife. "Hello Togami" I said calmly. I didn't expect any type of conversation, I just wanted him to know I knew he was there. "Be quiet you filthy mastermind" he mumbled. I sighed....and heard footsteps again. But they were running. They were running towards me.
I ran as fast I could to get away from Byakuya, I promised Kyodai I wasn't gonna die, and I intend to keep that promise. I wasn't going to die, especially not to some snobby kid like Togami. I ran into Mondo's room and locked the door, waiting for Togami to just leave. He banged on my door, as I yelled at him to stop. I may hate Togami, but he's way more sensible than this. The worst part is I have no proof to say I'm not the mastermind. I look a lot like a mastermind, and it seems like I magically got revived again, even if I was in a "coma".
Togami finally left, thank god. I felt like I should open the door to check, but that would probably be stupid. I was honestly quite tired, but I refused to sleep. I spent the entire night trying to find out who the mastermind was, Makoto seemed like a suspect to be the mastermind, maybe Aoi? I wasn't sure, so I looked at the people who were dead. I know it sounds stupid to think a dead person was behind all of this. But I needed to consider everyone.
[•The next day•]
We were looking for Sakura, just for her to turn up dead, dried blood in her hair and on her face. Although she was smiling in death, like she wanted to do this. We looked at the note next to her dead body, sending Aoi into tears (as if she wasn't crying enough) I honestly felt bad for her. I know losing a friend is hard. Especially in the hell of a "game". She started shouting at all of us, even blaming herself for Sakura's death. I sighed, Byakuya looked annoyed. Makoto looked distressed, Kyoko was thinking as always, Toko was freaking out, and so was Yasuhiro.
I walked up to Aoi and looked at her, she was crying her eyes out basically. Nobody else was going to comfort her, and at least 2 people cared about me when Mondo died. (That being Yasuhiro and Makoto) I hugged her, as she started crying into my chest. I felt bad for her, she was able to know Sakura for longer, and she was already crushed learning Sakura was the traitor. So seeing her best friend dead was just too much for her I suppose.
She let go of me after a good 4 minutes of her sobbing. "Thank you Kiyotaka." She said with a sad smile on her face. "It's completely fine Asahina, for now we must try to figure out the mastermind!" I replied, filled with determination.
(Wait...determination? FRISK WHERE YOU AT- ok back to the story lmao)
She nodded, obviously agreeing with me. I saw Kyoko put Sakura's note in her pocket, I assume she was looking for clues, she really is the smartest out of all of us. Which gets me wondering about what her Ultimate is. I shrugged it off, for now.
(Lol I'm back. I kind of hate trial 6 of Danganronpa 1 so let's just skip to when Junko was revealed,,, yeah Ik I'm lazy)
The person behind all this, the mastermind, but most importantly, the reason Mondo is dead. Junko Enoshima, the ultimate despair. I thought nobody was worse than my grandfather, but here was Junko, a huge smile plastered on her disgusting face. I've never hated somebody more.
She killed her sister all because she was bored. The reason she did all this was to cause despair. She explained all of this to us, I couldn't help but feel my blood boiling as I gritted my teeth. "THAT'S BULLSHIT! YOU PUT ALL OF US THROUGH THIS HELL JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF FETISH WITH FUCKING DESPAIR?!" I yelled out angrily. I rarely curse, but she angered me, she disgusted me. Her smile only grew wider and wider. "You really are full with anger and despair Ishimaru!" She chuckled. I balled up my fists, it felt like I was seeing red from how infuriated I was.
"Taka! Calm down! I'm angry too but-" Makoto tried to say but I cut him off. "NO! I HAD TO SEE MY BEST FRIEND DIE! I COULD HAVE GONE WITH HIM BUT I JUST HAD TO SURVIVE! SOMEONE ALMOST TRIED TO FUCKING KILL ME! AND TO KNOW THAT BITCH DID IT BECAUSE SHE LIKES "DeSpAiR" PISSES ME OFF!" I screamed at him while pointing at Junko. Makoto sighed.
"Ishimaru I'm as angry as you are...Sakura is dead, and it turns out she was the traitor as well...b-but we can't lose hope!" Asahina said to me, more confident than ever. But there was one word that stuck out to me. Hope. The opposite of despair. That word...despair. The reason Mondo was killed. The reason so many people are dead right now. But...hope... it's the only reason we're alive. The only reason we aren't bleeding on some cold floor.
HOPE
We all voted for Junko. Why the hell wouldn't we?! Seeing her execution, it was brutal, but she has that smile. Like she could do this all day. That smile will be in my nightmares...I shuddered. We were finally allowed into the outside world. A smile on my face. It was for you Mondo. I only survived...for you...
