I woke up in a bed but it wasn't mine. It looked more like an hospital bed and I didn't feel well because of that. Well, also maybe because my head hurt as fuck. What was this stupid idea to punch Kuro after all ? Oh wait. That's right. Anger issues duh. I hate that but I can't control it so yeah. Plus, she was so annoying about my father ! Couldn't she understand I didn't want to talk about my family ? And now, she was in the bed next to mine, bandages all over her face. I didn't punch that hard ? Did I ?

After some minutes of being awake, I heard a discussion between two people in the hall "I'm so sorry ! Please forgive me ! said a masculine voice that I couldn't identify.

-What are you apologizing for, Ranai ? asked a softer voice.

-I shouldn't have done that ! She was sorry and she didn't mean to hurt our friend !

-You saw her ? She clearly wanted to hurt Kuro. You did great by knocking her out.

-Maybe she couldn't control herself. Maybe Kuro started by insulting Nozomi or something like that....

-No one would hit someone just because they insulted them. That's common sense. 

-Not everyone is like you, Henso ! We all have different sensibilities ! We all can react in different way to this !

-You're telling me this to ME  ? One of my parents is the Ultimate Imposter ! You should know that very well, Ranai ! I know people have different personalities !

-I'm sorry to remind you but you never actually met them....

-I'm sorry to remind you but you never met your father either, my dear.

-At least, it wasn't because he didn't want me !

-Shut up ! You fucking bitch !

-Then shut up about Nozomi ! You heartless bastard !" Ranai finished before I heard him brutally walk away.

After that, Henso also left and someone else entered the room for my biggest surprise. This someone was Kibishi. He started smiling when he saw me awake but I wasn't smiling back. Why would I smile when I'm not happy ?

Since it was becoming awkward, I engaged the conversation by a simple "Hi, Kibishi.

-Hey, Nozomi, he answered with a even bigger smile.

-What do you want from me ? I asked with coldly.

-I just wanted to see if you were doing better.

-Tch... Stop lying, you were going to see Kuro, right ? Why would someone like you even care about me. Someone as dangerous as me. Someone as useless as me.

-What ? Do you really think of you as dangerous and useless ? I can tell you that it's not the case !

-How can you ? You don't even know me well.

-I'm the Ultimate Club Leader ! I have experience. And I can tell you that no one is useless.

-If I was useful, he would be alive...

-Who ?

-It's not you business.

-Okay then, I won't force you to talk about it ! 

-Thanks, Kibishi, I answered letting out a slight smile.

-You're welcome ! But don't you dare say that you are useless ever again !

-I can't promise anything." I said, amused before hearing someone running in the hall. This someone happened to enter the infirmary.

Both Kibishi and I turned our heads to see who entered the room. It was the Ultimate Model, Kitanai Saionji followed by the Ultimate Heir, Kira Soda that I didn't hear coming.

Kira started to talk quite quickly with a simple "Hello there everyone ! Kirigiri-chan is not awake yet ?

-Visibly not, but the others are." Answered Kitanai with a smile.

Neither did I or the club leader answered.

"We ruined Komaeda-chan and Owada-kun's moment ? I'm sorry ! It won't happen again, I promise !" suddenly said the blond girl at the same speed before me and the boy looked at each other, realizing what she was talking about.

I started screaming, flustered "No ! It's not what it looks like ! He was just comforting me ! I don't even know him very much !

-Oh ! So you didn't know anybody here before joining Hope's Peak Academy ? asked Kitanai.

-I knew Muku, that's all.... I answered."

Kibishi looked at me, surprised.

"Muku Fujisaki ?" he asked "Her dad is my godfather !

-Wow, impressive how we actually all are related in some way ! said Kira, kind of exited.

-Well... most of our parents met, I think. They also all lived killing games, like this one, I added.

-Oh yeah... That's right, the killing game. I can't believe someone still want to do like what Enoshima Junko did even after our parents were cured from despair ! And now, this person wants to kill them one by one if we don't do anything ! Imagining someone here dying already fills me with despair.... I hope it's just a joke or that we are in a simulation because I don' want to kill to keep my parents alive even thought I love them with all my heart ! answered the heir, almost crying.

-You need a hug, I think, said Kibishi.

-Oh ? Thank you, Owada-kun ! Kira screamed with joy , jumping in Kibishi's arms.

-You- You're welcome, Kira ! I'm happy to make people feel better ! Does anyone else here needs a hug ?

-Sorry if I disappoint you but I don't I need one, respond Kitanai.

-Don't worry ! It's actually cool that you're fine ! said the boy. And you, Nozomi ? Do ya need a hug ?

-No, imbecile, I answered, finally getting up from the bed.

-I assume you are a tsundere so it means you actually need one ! Kibishi exclaimed.

-No, I don't, dumbass.

-That's not very nice but since you're a tsundere, I don't take it so bad, it's just your nature !

-Do you even know what a tsundere is ?

-If I'm not wrong, it's a person who hides their feelings by being mean and all toward other people ! Exactly like you !

-How can you be sure I don't do that just because I find funny to insult people ?

Before he could open his mouth again, Monokuma's voice came from the monitor in the room.

"Hum hum ! Upupupupu.... I, Monokuma, the headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy has two announcements to make ! The first one is to tell that you now have the rules of this killing game in your E-Handbook ! If you didn't see them yet, they are certainly in your pocket or a place like that ! Now let's see the second announcement... Upupupupu....!"

We were waiting without a sound. I was sure it wasn't a good news. I was.... scared, I think. What could it be ? Well it was horrific when Monokuma continued.

"Oh ! There ! So........

A body has been discovered !

Within the parents !" what Monokuma add might have calmed some people down but it wasn't my case. What if Dad was the victim...?

"The first parent to die is..... Oh ! How surprising ! It's Makoto Naegi, the ex-Ultimate Lucky Student !"

We then heard a scream coming from a different room. The biggest possibility was that this scream directly came from Korosu. But I couldn't help her. I wouldn't be able to do so even thought I really wanted to. Without noticing, I started to shake while watching everyone's faces. Kibishi looked scared but he was trying to stay calm. Kira looked more angry but still afraid. She was trying to help Kitanai who was literally having a mental breakdown. The only boy in the room came closer to me and started a hug. I didn't stop him even if I was really surprised. It was comfortable in his arms. I felt a bit better but still panicked. When he decided to stop the hug, I kept him in my own arms for some reasons. I didn't understand why but my body felt warm in contact with him. All I knew is that I liked that feeling. 

Then, out of nowhere, a shy voice said "Why are you all hugging ? Did I miss something ?" This voice was Kuro Kirigiri's.
