Kuro was finally awake and she was looking at us, confused. I wasn't able to reply to her. I wanted to but nothing came out of my mouth. So I guess someone else had to do it. This someone else happened to be Kira by saying "Naegi Makoto is dead.

-Wh- What ?! Said the Ultimate Scammer, in shock.

-It's what Monokuma said some minutes ago. I'm not sure if we should believe him thought, answered Kira.

-He may have told the truth, I can't know since I was asleep at that moment. But now, I'm sure he lied about the fact it'd be randomized. He clearly wants us to feel despair by killing the most hopeful of our parents. Our idol to keep going, theorized Kuro, immediately calmed down.

-The next person to get killed, if we follow your theory, would be.... Started Kibishi.

-Hajime Hinata, my father, I quickly said.

-I don't think so. It'd be too easy. I think the next one will be the parent of someone about to crack, answered the silver head."

We all looked at each other. In this room, there were only two people that I'd suspect. For one of them, Hajime Hinata still could be the answer.

"I think I'm gonna leave, I said after a long time that felt like hours.

-Do you want me to come with you ? I mean, you woke up not even an hour ago. Imagine if you pass away again ? Asked Kibishi.

-You just want to leave us, isn't it ? Guessed Kitanai.

-Of course no, I'm genuinely concerned about Nozomi ! Don't make assumptions like that" he said, embarrassed. They then started a whole argument. I decided to leave without a word. When I got in the hall, there wasn't anybody. I then wandered around and saw that the stair cases were blocked. I guess it'll get open after the first trial, like Muku told me from her dad. I happened to get in front of a gigantic red door. I tried to open it but it was locked. I wish it'll never open. If it happens, it'll mean that someone died. I stood in front of this door for minutes and sat down. I don't know how long I stayed there but it felt like an eternity. When I finally had an idea of the time, it was because I heard the horrifying voice of Monokuma coming from one of those screens put almost in every corner of this school. He was saying it was 10PM but I didn't move. When did I wake up ? I don't know but I guess it's been more than an hour that I'm here and I wasn't tired at all, if I was, I would have gone to my room. I'm not suicidal like Papa.

Again, a long time passed and I was still sitting there. Why was I doing there actually ? I don't know. I think I'm waiting for something but.... What ? What am I waiting for, nothing is gonna happen, it should be around midnight. Why would anything happen tonight ?

"Upupu... What are you doing here so late at night ?"

That voice... It wasn't Monokuma's... It was the voice of a boy. But it sounded like if there was a voice changer. Probably the case.

"I guess you're the Mastermind. Show me your face, motherfucker, I whispered loud enough so they could clearly hear me.

-I can't refuse anything from a cutie like you~ Turn your head to the the right~"

I didn't answer anything and purposely turned my head to the left. There surprisingly was nothing like I expected.

"Your other right, idiot.

-What tells me that it's not a trap.

-Me.

-I don't trust you."

They didn't answer for a moment and then violently turned my head to the right and... They actually were there... But it wasn't a face I could recognize. I was imagining any scenario after that. I could die right now, they could leave me alone, they could kidnap me, they could brainwash me but... They kissed me ! I tried to get rid of them, impossible, they were stronger than me... I wasn't expecting that at all... Me ? Ultimate Winner ? I guess all I won was my very first kiss in 18 years. But not the best since I didn't consent on it heh.

After a very long minute, they stopped and smiled at me.

"Did you like it ? Asked the person.

-No, I replied curtly.

"Why ?

-Have you ever heard of something called consent ?

-Of course I did. Except that was the price for discovering who is the Mastermind !

-I don't even know who you are...

-Oh well, I'm..... €-'-&+ #@?_( "

When they said that I couldn't hear the end of the sentence and I lost consciousness... I guess I'm going to die now... Sorry Dad... I'm going to join Papa sooner than I thought....
