One More Try | Danganronpa v3 x Reader

XVI. SIXTEEN

"A suicide means you've killed
the most important existence
of all: yourself."

Death was slowly creeping in and I could feel it. Me and Kaede both arm and arm walking down the hallway talking to each other. Our voices filled up the empty hallway, our voices bouncing off the walls. For some reason Kaede wanted to spend some of her free time with me without shuichi.

Shuichi came up out of breath calling for us to head to the library, so that's where we're headed now. I'm assuming this is where we find out about the secret passageway...

We walked in and shuichi's face lit up with glee. "Alright, I'll explain everything. First, take a look at the card reader."

      He demonstrated his instructions and moved the bookcase to reveal a hidden door. We learned our heads into the card reader.

      "The dust is gone!" Kaede gasped.

     "Thank god, my allergies couldnt withstand the dust in their." I wrinkled my nose.

     "Good thing.." Shuichi nodded at me. "Anyways, i checked it right after nighttime started yesterday, and the dust was there."

     "But now it's gone.." I added.

      "So that means....someone entered this door during night time?" *Smart girl*

     "That got me thinking. This may sound far-fetched, but....Perhaps Monokuma's revival is related to this door somehow." Shuichi spoon fed her some ideas. "Remember what the monokumas said?"

      they didn't say anything but close their eyes...forgot i'm not an anime character and i don't have flashbacks like they do. The class trial is going to be difficult...

       "Um... So there's a machine that can build spare monokumas?" Kaede asked.

       "That would explain why we saw Monokuma alive and well in the morning...."

       "That's what i was thinking, Y/N!" he started. "At nighttime, someone went through this door and activated the machine. And then there what monokuma told us..."

       Another flashback.... I asked them both when their eyes opened. "The timer?"

        "Mhm, the way he phrased it seemed peculiar. Why not just say 'everyone will die'?" Shuichi agreed. "He went out of his way to specify that students 'forced to participate' will die."

       Kaede mumbled "Huh? But..why?"

       "My deduction is that one of us volunteered to participate and wasn't forced."

       "That would mean that they are freed from being executed without any limits."

     Kaede sat with a dumbfounded expression on her face....i think that me and shuichi really have to feed kaede all the information we know. She asked more questions and shuichi answered her, but this was stuff ive already learned from the beginning... 'here we go again...'

       Shuichi declared proudly. "Of course, this is just what I've deduced, but it is entirely possible. That's why I didn't want to talk about this in front of everyone..."

      'Then you went ahead and told Kaede who killed Rantaro.'

    "If we told them now, they might all try to find the mastermind, and be led to murder. Which is why i can tell you guys." Kaede was sweating full bullets now. She must be thinking about someone to murder....

    We nodded and slowly exited the Library. Kaede looked back and forth between Shuichi and myself. She was hunched over and bit her nails.

     'Think nothing of it...' I turned around and ignored the blonds anxiety attack and we headed to our shared room and jumped into bed. No exchanged in words, no 'girls night out'. Nothing.

     I wasn't complaining. I wouldn't want to change up the storyline anyways.

     We headed to bed and i jolted wake in the morning to the announcement. I groaned and shoved my head under my pillow. Kaede wasn't next to me this morning.

     'She must've woken up early...' I stretched. I spotted a note that was on the table. I slowly picked up the paper and read it.

      Hey Y/N! Me and Shuichi met up early to go check out the Library early. You should go ahead and meet us there!

      She's already at the library? 'No way, something is wrong...'

I trugged on my boots and pulled my bag over my shoulders. I carefully tucked my shirt in my high waisted pants as I rushed down the steps.

    This was the day that Rantaro was killed. Instead I'm making it that someone else was going to be killed.

    I rushed past some people and headed to the library. 'Bingo! The doors open already. One of them must be dead already!'

    My feet rushed over and I slipped through the passageway. Something is wrong, where's Shuichi? Where's Kaede? Neither Rantaro or someone else we're dead on the ground....

     Click!

     A bright light blinded me. I threw my hands up to my face. I rushed over to the camera. 'Shit!'

    Click!

    'It already caught my face! Twice!" I groaned and reached towards the camera before something started to rumble. I jumped backwards.

     'I have to get out—'

     CRACK.

     I fell on the ground clutching my head. I looked up, or tried to, my whole vision was disordered. I couldn't make out anything. I focused my eyes on a blurry figure with blue hair.

   "You're not Rantaro... but you'll work."

A BODY HAD BEEN DISCOVERED!
