The game, anyway. Not their lives, alarmingly, suddenly, unexpectedly, despite having cried otherwise. Screamed at an audience who he shared with his apathy, utter disinterest in a show that turned human lives into spectacle of fireworks.
The last thing he remembers is standing with Harukawa, Yumeno, surrounded by raindrops of shattered glass from a sky that held them captive for so, so long. The beating of his heart in his chest, still racing as he was prepared to die. The sounds of a world who demanded entertainmentโ all echoed behind the icy glasses and even colder gaze of a girlโฆ
Who was dead, crushed by the foundation of the world sheโd created, ended soโฆ anticlimactically. He remembers her corpse there, too, under a slab of rubble, nothing but blood andโ
This place was surreal enough already. Theโ idea that he could live so peacefully after everything thatโd happened. Being thrown here again makes his paranoia swell, wonder if something else is awaiting him. Itโs almost like a dream, andโ
It is a dream. Itโ canโt be anything other than a dream. Because how could it be reality, if the girl whoโd bent it, if the girl whoโd destroyed it, the girl who died in its clutches, denying it so vehemently to her very last breath is right here, before his very eyes?
โShirogane-san.โย She acts like it, too, and he narrows his eyes, instinctively stepping back. His voice is cold, laced thick with disgust.ย โWhat are you doing here? What is this? Is this another place that you and Team Danganronpa built?โ
ย ย ย ย ย Oh, well. He knew huh?
ย ย ย ย ย Well that was certainly going to make things interesting, wasnโt it? After all, she didnโt need to hold anything back now.
ย ย ย ย ย Shuuichi Saihara stands before her, one of her works, and she does have to say he turned out better than she couldโve hoped for. Then again, everyone went as she thought they would, or rather how she planned for them to go about during the killing game.
ย ย ย ย ย Even if he had started his development earlier than she thought he was going to, she canโt really complain too much. After all, everything had gone as she had hoped for.
ย ย ย ย ย Until that annoying, pain in the ass brat had decided to...
ย ย ย ย ย Saihara is oblivious to the thoughts that whirl in her head and itโs a good thing; she canโt decide whether sheโs proud of him or whether she loathes him for ending what she had worked so hard to continue and keep going.
ย ย ย ย ย โAw, is that any way to greet someone? We were friends at one point, werenโt we?โ
ย ย ย ย ย Then again, she can understand, well not quite, but she can see why heโs mad at her, and Team Danganronpa by an extent. But really, itโs show business isnโt it? After all, she knows about the contract he signed (as well as everyone else, even if Amami had protested until he was forced to so he could receive the money they promised).
ย ย ย ย ย And if he thinks he knows her, heโs oh so wrong. Besides, she knows him better than he knows himself. Both of his selves.
ย ย ย ย ย โHonestly though, Iโm just as plain confused as you about this place. Itโs not something I or Team Danganronpa built, though I doubt you believe me.โ Considering what had happened before hand he probably shouldnโt believe her.
ย ย ย ย ย โBut I guess you know what happened before we got here, hmm? How you ended everything and all that?โ
