Danganronpa: Misinterpreted Lies and Empty Promises (ON HIATUS)

Freetime - Kōi, Shīrudo, Shūchū, Yume and Sukina

After Maigo left, you could say I was a bit lost. So I decided to hang out with more people!

Kōi Yorokobi:

Kōi Yorokobi:
"What are you looking at?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"It's nothing... I just thought we could hang out and-"

At that note, he put his finger on my lips.

Kōi Yorokobi:
"I can see the desperation on your face. You really can't hide it, huh? Well, I'm nothing special, just like you... Kōi Yorokobi, the Ultimate Lucky Student. Stop asking me how I got in, I don't want to explain it any further."

He took his finger away from me and let me respond to what he said.

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Oh, okay. I won't mention it. If you are a 'lucky student', then don't you have any other defining characteristics?"

He paused for a while and thought before finally speaking.

Kōi Yorokobi:
"No. I don't even know where this place even is or why I'm here."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"You... don't know? Okay, how much do you not remember?"

Kōi Yorokobi:
"The forms you are all talking about. You signed a form, right?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Yes, we all did. Why?"

Kōi Yorokobi:
"That's the thing I don't remember. Even before then; I don't recall anything else about my past."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Come on, you must remember something! How about your parents? Do you have any siblings? Your scho-"

Kōi Yorokobi:
"Just shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

With that, he ran away from me in anger, presumably towards his room.

Shīrudo Mamoru:

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Bukiyōyaaa! How's it goinggg?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"I'm okay, I guess."

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Don't you know how not okay 'I'm okay' is? And you're not even sure!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Pleasestopanalysingmychoiceofwords!"

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Aww, okay. Instead, imma talk about myself, because I'm just that selfish and annoying!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"I'm okay with that. Just go ahead!"

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"There you go again with the 'I'm okay'. You almost sound like you're bored of me!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"N-No, I'm no-"

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Anyways! I was born to a single mother and two siblings, one a boy (that was Kōrudo), one a girl (that was Attakai). What else..? Oh! I used to watch Danganronpa 24/7 and my siblings hated me for hogging the TV. My favourite games were SDR2: Goodbye Despair and V3: Killing Harmony!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"By chance, do you have a favourite character?"

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Gundam and Kokichi. I can't choose between them! Their designs are so cool, perfect to match their personalities! This is why I have a replica of Gundam's scarf! It was part of a cosplay, but we don't speak about that. How about you?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Chiaki. Just Chiaki."

Shīrudo Mamoru:
"Oooh! She made a pretty big sacrifice in the second-to-last chapter! That is pretty memorable, to be fair. Well, bye!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"W-Wait!"

He looked at me strangely before running off to God-knows-where. I just went on with my day.

Shūchū Ima:

Shūchū Ima:
"I don't want to talk right now... The motive is killing me..."

Well, nevermind.

Yume Sutoringu:

Yume Sutoringu:
"Bukiyōya...can I talk to you?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Hm, what is it?"

Yume Sutoringu:
"Well, I've been having dreams about killing Maigo. H-How do I make them s-stop?"

Bukiyōya Hito (thinking...)
Her too, huh.

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Today, do something so incredible that you can't stop thinking about it. Then at night, you won't be thinking about the motive, and then you won't get that dream again. I honestly don't know... But that's what usually works for me."

Yume Sutoringu:
"T-Thanks... I don't know if it'll work, but I'll try my best."

Sukina Koeshin

I was just standing there, directly in the middle of the hallway, waiting for something at least a little interesting to happen. You could say that I wasn't too surprised when I saw that small figure approach me with such excitement.

Sukina Koeshin:
"Bukiyōya! Let's hang out!"

She was waving her arm in my direction as she ran.

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Uhm...sure!"

Sukina Koeshin:
"That's great! I was thinking about walking around campus and getting to know each other better. I can see a lot of potential in you!"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Thanks..."

I started walking down the corridor with Sukina, listening to her rambling about pretty much everything in existence.

Sukina Koeshin:
"I'm so sorry! Am I rambling? Perhaps you can talk more about yourself instead."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Well, there's nothing that remarkable about me... I'm just the Ultimate Klutz. The only thing that is even remotely recognisable is these two pieces of hair that will not stay down."

Sukina Koeshin:
"Have you tried hair gel or a straightener at all?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"I have, but neither work. The first one appeared when I applied for Danganronpa the first time for the 100th killing game. I didn't get in, so I applied again since I was still in the required age range for this one. That's when the other one stuck up."

Sukina Koeshin:
"Have you heard of the term 'ahoge'?"

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Yeah, a bit. It means 'idiot hair' right? But I'm not an idiot... I'm just way below average."

Sukina Koeshin (whispering to herself...):
"Why have I heard that phrase before..."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"What is it?"

Sukina Koeshin:
"Oh... it's nothing."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"Since we were just on the topic of backgrounds and weird things that happened to us, do you have anything that relates?"

Sukina Koeshin:
"Not particularly. I'm the Ultimate Peacemaker. My only job is to stop wars or arguments, that can lead to pain of any sort, from happening. Some say that I've saved thousands of lives, though I don't particularly believe that."

Bukiyōya Hito:
"You've only described your Ultimate briefly, and it's already better than any experience I've ever had! You should be proud of yourself!"

Sukina Koeshin:
"Thanks!"
