{ a body has been discovered! / accepting }

     This... wasn’t supposed to happen. This wasn’t part of the PLAN. This COULDN’T happen! Komaru was the only person he could confide in, the only person he could actually trust, and now she was... Gone. He covered his mouth in shock, tears silently streaming down his face. It was almost too much to process - The blood, her expression, the absolute DESPAIR making his brain unable to think straight as a million questions stirred in his mind.

     Who had killed her? WHY? Had they found out about their plan? What was he supposed to do with the body? How would he break the news to his parents? Who was he supposed to turn to now that she was gone? Who would help him?

     Despair was usually something he enjoyed, the adrenaline rush from the pain gave him a feeling he couldn’t describe, but this time... He couldn’t manage that sick smile he usually wore when these kinds of things happened. What the fuck was he supposed to do?! He could feel anger rising above the panic and grief - He was going to find the bastard that did this and KILL THEM with his bare hands! She wasn’t the one who thought up the TRAGEDY, she didn’t deserve this at all! He was the one that should’ve-!

     Grimacing, he picked up her body, being careful as to not get too much of her blood on his clothes. He needed to put her somewhere secret - somewhere SAFE - for now. He couldn’t bury her, the desperate idea that had formed in his mind required he keep the body where he could easily access it. The two had gathered information on a certain... “Experiment”. The Kamukura project is what the school called it; a plan to create the Ultimate Ultimate, someone with every talent possible. They had planned on breaking him out and using them in their plans for the Tragedy anyways, so he may as well seek him out, even if that would be much harder on his own.

“Naegi-san?”

There was something obviously wrong with this situation here, that she had tranformed into something so fragle. There was something near, the remains of a monokuma that he didn’t bother to glance at, but he can’t help but wonder if he should detach himself from this situation.

It wasn’t his place to be a savior, to provide comfort to someone who could stand on their own two feet, but he can’t find it in himself to leave her on her own.Crouching into a kneel, he reaches out to tentatively touch her shoulder, gentle in it’s demeanor.

“I know Junko loved her Monokumas and mayhem, but this is a bit much.” The blonde observed as yet another row of the stupid robots tottered down the street, their rotund forms of black and white being a that of a perverse teddy bear.

“Yeah! It’s not often I have this, so I’m glad to try it.” He and Komaru were sitting on the bench chatting while eating some snacks among themselves.

“! Are you sure, Naegi-san? Thank you! I’ll make sure to bring some snacks you like to repay you back.”
