«Byakuya Togami»
My legs feel weak and shaky as we stamp up the metal staircase, each step like a knife in my calf.
"We're almost there." Mukuro whispers. The deathly silence is only broken by the stamp of our feet and our ragged breathing.
Then it all stops.
We've reached the door. My hand reaches out, shaking, the other one clamped by Makoto.
"We're coming Junko." I mutter over the pounding of my head.

"Ohh, you're finally here!"
There she is. This venom pulsing through my veins, it's hate. I've never hated anyone, not even Toko, or my father, more.
"You. Let them all go." I hiss through my teeth.
"Oh, gladly." She simpers. "It's just- ooh, this despair.
I watch her fall to her knees, cloudy eyes fixed on nothing.
"It's so good!" She squeals. "I've never felt something so brilliant, so beautiful. I haven't felt anything in forever!" Junko giggles.
"Junko, please." Makoto mumbles. His eyes flick to Mukuro- she's emotionless, as usual, not even a flicker on her face.
"Ok, ok. I'll let them go. Give me a..." her fingers fly over the keyboard. "Second-!"

"I did it! Despair! Despair!" She giggles.
"Despair..."
"I'm sorry Junko. Do you want to come with us? " Makoto stammers. He... he can't feel sorry for her?
"Nah-uh! Goodbye forever! I've already caused enough despair!"
Her eyes meet mine and that's when I begin to feel truly sick.
