A Danganronpa Story (Book One)

Chapter Two: Opinions

Everyone was in shock about what Kyoko had stated.

"A-A r-repeating h-history?" Hina stuttered.

Kyoko didn't answer. She stood still, silent.

"H-Hey, Kirigiri-San. W-What do you mean?" Makoto asked, determined. He got up from his chair and made his way over to Kyoko, who still stood motionless. Both emotion and body movement.

Makoto softly grabbed her by her shoulders and stared at her.

"What do you mean by a repeating history?" Without receiving a reply, Makoto became more desperate. "Kirigiri-San!"

Kyoko finally looked up at him, and simply said.

"We could experience despair again."

"What? How?" Byakuya asked, still sitting in his chair. Makoto looked at him.

"That's what I'm wondering. How could this nightmare of mine mean that we could experience despair again? It makes no sense. Maybe you're mistaken? Maybe this means nothing at all."

"Makoto, isn't is strange that you now experience a nightmare you haven't experience three years ago?" Kyoko asked, now looking at the kitchen floor.

"Uh.. I-I-"

"Why do you experience this nightmare now? When we finally got over despair in the world that Junko left for us to pick up, why do you now have this nightmare? Strange, isn't it? It means Junko planned something before she died. She wanted this to happen. She might've planted this in you so you could later feel despair about the upcoming occurrence that she planned. Despair in all of us. That we finally were able to stop her despair, and bring the world hope, only to watch that hope crumble once more, crumbling our years of hardwork."

Everyone was puzzled. Yet, they understood what Kyoko was trying to tell Makoto.

Makoto bowed his head.

"I-I... I understand."

"So, what you're saying is that this random nightmare is a foreshadow? Is this the vibe that I'm feeling in this room right now?" Byakuya asked.

"Yes." Kyoko quickly, and simply answered.

Byakuya sucked in her answer.

"I see. So, when this foreshadow comes, what do we do?"

"Depends." Kyoko said. "Depends on the situation and how it starts. We might have to flee if it comes to it. If anything, Junko might've planted millions of Monobots and setted them to go off at a certain time period. I suspect that their job is to get us, and bring us to Monokuma, who plans on getting rid of us so hope will never overcome despair ever again."

"So, we're dealing with another Junko Alter Ego?" Hina asked.

"Most likely." Kyoko answered.

"Hold on guys, I might be able to use my fortune skills to tell us whether or not this might turn out bad or good-"

"Don't waste your breath Yasuhiro." Byakuya retorted. "Your skills won't help anyway. Not with a 30% chance of your fortune telling being right."

"Hey, at least it's something." Hiro said.

"Honestly, how could anyone with a not very good talent like you even be accepted to Hopes Peak in the first place?" Hina asked.

"Hey! I'm least I'm trying!" Hiro cried.

"That's enough." Kyoko said. "We don't need this room to become even more chaotic. That's what Junko wants."

Hina and Hiro looked at her then understood. She was right. They couldn't fight. Not when another fight in despair is around the corner.
