Danganronpa X Reader

No matter the Cost...

"What the hell is this...!?", you exclaimed.

"Th-This can't be real, right? It has to be fake, right!?", Hina said

"Yeah, no way it's real. Haha...no way", Leon said

"I can't t-take it anymore... I c-can't take this anymore! Let me out of here please!", Toko shouted

Judging by everyone's reactions, everyone had saw what the motive was on their monitor. But even in this situation, *she* was still calm...

"I see... So this is what he meant by motive. He wants to fuel our desire to leave so that we're more likely to start killing each other", Kyoko said

"It is the classic 'prisoner's dilemma'", Celeste said

"...Huh"?

"Let me use an example. Imagine two countries are on the brink of war. But both countries want peace, and each commits to scaling back their forces as a sign of good faith. But there's a chance that one country may betray the other, so each country fears lowering their guard. The result is that neither scales back their forces, and they both end up betraying each other. In other words, the fear of invisible treachery becomes the greatest enemy of stability".

"That kinda sounds l-like us right now... Everyone says they'll work together, but in our hearts we're afraid someone might betray us...", Toko said

"Don't put those awful thoughts in our head! That's exactly what they *want* us to do!", Taka said

"You can say that, but maybe you're thinking that once everyone drops their guard, you can just...", Leon said

"What"!?

"Okay that's enough! This is exactly what Monokuma or whoever's behind this, wants. They *want* us to fight like this! Don't you see?", you said

"Yeah, you're right. We all need to calm down...", Chihiro agreed

"Okay, then. Maybe we should start by all just...talking", Junko said. "Maybe if we all just talk about what we saw, that'll help get everything out of our system. Besides, I think we're all super curious, right"?

"Hey, Sayaka...", Makoto started

"..."

"What was in you video, Sayaka"?

"What's wr-wrong? Just hurry up and t-tell us...", Toko said

"..."

"Sayaka"?

Makoto then gently placed his hand on Sayaka's shoulder.

"...Stop it!", she exclaimed. She then pushed Makoto's hand away and suddenly ran off.

"Sayaka!?", Hina said

"Let her go", Byakuya said

"I-I can't do that! I have to go make sure she's okay!", Makoto said

"I h-hate romantic comedies like this. I don't care what h-happens to her, personally...", Toko commented

"That's because you're totally thoughtless!", Junko yelled

"I'm...really worried", Hina said

"Then why don't you go do whatever you think you have to? We don't all have to stick around together, right? Speaking of which, I have my own things to take care of. Goodbye", Celeste said as she walked out of the room.

After a while, everyone then decided to go their separate ways. Well...except for you and a few people. You wanted to watch the video over again to see if anything felt off. You then pressed the replay button and the video started to play again. Even though it still hurt to watch the video, you wanted to make sure that whatever happened in the video was true. You fast-forward to the part where the suspicious men came into the room. You paused the video to see if you could see any of their faces...but sadly, all of them had masks on. Feeling defeated, you fast-forwarded to where the room was all bloody. You didn't see this at first but...you could your mother's body in the corner of the screen. It wasn't her whole body, but just her head to her shoulders were visible. It shocked you at first but you took a closer look at her and that's when you realized that...she didn't die from gunshots but instead...
