Final Danganronpa 4: Another Despair

Chapter 1 - Re:To Survive (Daily Life)

Contrary to popular belief, I didn't wake up with a hangover. In fact, I felt nice and refreshed! Ready to start the day...in this new killing game. Well, that was a killjoy. First things first, I decided to check the school rules in my handbook in case they were different from my game.

*SCHOOL REGULATIONS*

#1: Students may reside only within the school. Leaving campus is an unacceptable use of time.

#2: "Nighttime" is from 10pm to 7am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.

#3: Sleeping anywhere other than the dormitory will be seen as sleeping in class and punished accordingly.

#4: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore Hope's Peak Academy at your discretion.

#5: Violence against Headmaster Monokuma is strictly prohibited.

#6: Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered.

#7: Once a murder takes place, a class trial will begin shortly thereafter. Participation is mandatory for all surviving students.

#8: If the blackened is exposed during the trial, they alone will be executed. If the blackened is not exposed, the remaining students will be executed.

#9: The Body Discovery Announcement will play as soon as three or more spotless students discover a body for the first time.

#10: Destruction of any property, including security cameras, without permission is expressly prohibited.

#11: Monokuma will never directly commit a murder.

#12: Please do not damage your student handbooks. They cost a lot, you know!

#13: Students who violate these rules will be immediately executed.

#14: There is no time limit for the Killing School Homecoming.

#15: In the case of multiple blackeneds in quick succession, only the killer of the first body discovered is recognized.

#16: No more than two victims per blackened. We don't want a complete massacre!

#17: In the case of multiple attackers on one victim, the one who dealt the last blow becomes the blackened.

#18: Loaning your handbook to another student is prohibited.

#19: Additional school regulations may be added when necessary.

I sighed, recognizing most of the rules on the list. I put away my handbook and got up from my bed.

Nikei Yomiuri: "I should probably go find the others."

Leaving the vodka on my bedside table, I left my room and headed into the hallway. But that's when I ran into...

Kyoko Kirigiri: "Oh, you're alive. That's good."

Nikei Yomiuri: "Did you think that I died when I left the gym? I just went to get some alcohol and went to sleep!"

Kyoko Kirigiri: "That might be a little too much information."

Nikei Yomiuri: "Too much information? But did I not make my intentions clear before I left the gym?"

Kyoko Kirigiri: "...Drinking aside, it looks like you haven't been up to anything. You missed a lot."

Nikei Yomiuri: "Well, would you mind catching me up? I've already looked at the rules."
