Last Night

---

"Well then~ Puhuhuhu! It appears the Ultimates are in for another day of the super amazing High School experience! How quaint, eh? It appears the deaths of their fellow students have rattled them in more ways than one. And you know what they say- well, I sure don't! Puhuhuhu! Have fun, roleplayers. More experience is soon to come."

The Monitor switched. And a face was briefly revealed. A microphone in their hand. Monokuma's words flowing off moving lips.

Then it flickered off.

In Nakata's Dorm

But Suko didn't say anything. Just turned on their side. And they were silent for the rest of the night.

The Next Morning

"Heyyyy, Nakata!" Suko threw their pillow at her head.

All Around the School

"Puhuhhu! Good morning, students!"

The lights all went bright with furious intensity. Even the glimmering lights in the halls seared as bright as a thousand little suns. Hisoka buried his face in his blanket, hissing. Niwa cringed, but continued watching Keiki. And of course, Suko panicked and threw themself to the floor, a sickening crack piercing the air.

"Well, that was a fun awakening!" Grumbling hisses resounded around the school. "In any case, it's time for the super duper fun High School Festival! Puhuhuhu~"

"Where more murder will inevitably happen," Hisoka muttered.

"The fun will last for two days, where you will enjoy concessions and stands made by yours truly! And interspersed with your own efforts, of course. And my own, making ten super special activities for you all to use at your discretion!"

If only the psychotic bear could be excited about reasonable things all the time.

"Also, there'll be a special murder class that you can attend! Preferably, only two people should come though, puhuhuh~"

Note to self, Hisoka thought. Avoid Monokuma at all costs.

"Don't go anywhere near there," Niwa ordered Keiki.

"And that concludes today's morning announcements! Bear well, kiddins~ Puhuhuhu!" The screen flickered black.

Keiki groaned.

"Stupid Monokuma, I just wanted to slee-eeep..." They moaned. "Niwaa- I think...I have a hangover." Keiki whispered miserably.

"Comfort me and tell me how much you love me Niwa, I don't think I'll be able to survive this-..."

Niwa Atsushi

---

Tell me you love me? Niwa felt his cheeks heat up. He thought he'd been over that step in their relationship... Carefully, he scooted closer to Keiki. "Yep, I love you, Keiki."

And on that topic...

"Can I be your boyfriend?" he blurted out.

---

Keiki frowned.

"I swear you already asked me that, Niwa-face.

Or was it a dream?" They paused for a moment.

"If you can put up with a pancake-obsessed goblin like me....then sure!" Keiki grinned.

“Ooh concessions!” Nakata exclaimed. Finally something fun to do after everything that happened.

Niwa Atsushi

---

"I know I'm not the nicest or the coolest-" Niwa paused. "...Sure?"

Suko Nobu

---

"No happy! Don't sound happy!" Suko wailed from the floor. Their nose hurt something awful and they were sure they had heard a crack.

Most certainly, it was broken.

"Nooooo-" they sobbed.

---

“Uh… Are you okay?” Nakata prodded Suko with a foot

Suko immediately sank their teeth into her foot.

---

“Ow! What the hell!” Nakata jerked her foot away, “What the hell is wrong with you!?”

"You hurt my nose," Suko complained from the floor. "Your foot dies in exchange. Obviously. Hmph."

---

“How did I hurt your foot!?”

"Your face," Suko grumbled into the floor.

---

“Well that is rude and untrue!” Nakata pouted

"Maybe!" Suko said cheerfully. They pushed themself onto a sitting position and gave Nakata a dazed smile. Blood was pouring out of their distinctly crooked nose. Bruises were already blossoming. "But those words are basically my thing now! Ehehe! Rude and untrue."

They paused.

"Me."

Maji

"Looks like it's time for me to run the darts, wanna come with?"


Megami

I was gonna jump up, excited for a chance to play music for Suzume, but then I thought about it. "...Is my music good?"

"Of course." Hisoka smiled. "You're stuck with me, Maji. You better not be regretting it now."

---

Maji

"I'd never regret it, I'd give up show business before I gave up you."

Hisoka flushed. "Do you... like your 'show business' a lot?"

---

"Well... yeah. Most people think it's an ego thing, but honestly, it's more about the crowd. The idea that so many different people who are so different come together as one joyful entity... and the idea that I'm the reason... I love it. They've all got beliefs and ideas so differing and controversial it could cause a war, but all that gets forgotten, shoved aside. All else is forgotten, and suddenly they're all parts of one big being, all gasping and clapping in unison. I like to see the best in humanity, and that truly feels like the best in humanity."

"Oh." Hisoka's eyes grew distant. "Even if the people are killers? Even if they carry grief, they're still yours?" He blinked and his eyes cleared. "I think many people would be happy to hear you say that."

His smile told Maji that he was too. If only a bit. "It's good. That you are as genuine as you are." He touched his ear self-consciously.
