Prologue: Welcome to Despair - Part six {SPOILERS FOR TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC}

{THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR TRIGGER HAPPY HAVOC! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!}

Still filled with uneasy dread, I did what the announcement said and went to the gym. And I saw what was waiting for us there...

(Y/N): "Oh. It really does look like an entrance ceremony..."

Loki: "See? Told ya! It's totally normal entrance ceremony stuff."

Loki was right. But in a way, that just emphasized how completely *not* normal all of us were.

♪ Music cuts out. ♪

???: "Hey there, howdy, hello! Is everyone here? Good! Then let's get things rolling!"

Katie: "Huh? A teddy bear?"

Monokuma: "I'm not a teddy bear! I...am...Monokuma! And I am this school's headmaster!"

It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. Right before my eyes, it was... What I was seeing was... It was...utterly incomprehensible.

Monokuma: "Nice to meet you all!"

Such a bright voice and carefree attitude was completely out of place. And all that anxiety I'd been carrying with me suddenly transformed into outright fear.

Luna: "Wh--? Waaaaaah! That teddy bear can talk!"

Eclipse: "Calm down! I'm sure there's just a speaker inside it."

Monokuma: "I told you already, I'm not a teddy bear..."

Monokuma: "I'm Monokuma! And I'm your headmaster!"

Luna: "Waaaaah! It moved!"

Akira: "Seriously man, calm down! It's prolly just a remote control toy or somethin'."

Monokuma: "How dare you compare me to a child's plaything! You've cut me deep. Deeper than the Mariana Trench..."

Monokuma: "My remote control system is so complex, even the folks at NASA can't recreate or even comprehend it!

Monokuma: "Ah, but don't make me say stuff that might destroy NASA's dreams. I just couldn't BEAR that!"

Akari: "'Bear' that? Really? You are...unfortunate."

Monokuma: "Now then, moving on! We really must hurry and get started..."

Coral: "Giving up already? No other stupid bear puns?"

Monokuma: "Quiet down now, quiet down. Ah, okay, so...!"

Lilith: "He has abandoned the gag..."

Monokuma: "Everyone stand at attention and bow! And...good morning!"

Eclipse: "Good morning!!!"

Jade: Y-You don't have to s-say it back...

Monokuma: "Now then, let us commence with a most noteworthy and memorable entrance ceremony! First, let's talk a bit about what your school life here will be like. Now, ah, make no mistake--you few students, so full of potential, represent the hope of the world. And to protect such splendid hope..."

Monokuma: "...you will all live a communal life together solely within the confines of this school. Everyone will live in harmony together, and adhere to the rules and regulations of the school."

Huh...?

Monokuma: "Ah, now then...regarding the end date for this communal life..."

Monokuma: "There isn't one! In other words, you'll all be here until the day you die! Such is the school life you've been assigned."
