"Ding dong ding dong!"

Byakuya POV

I sighed intensely as that awful morning announcement tune rang through my head. I sat up in my bed and took a quick look around my dorm room. At first, I was shocked at how terribly messy it was until I remembered how panicked I was last night. Genocider had been knocking furiously on my door and yelling at me to let her in. I-I hate that plebeian.

"Iiiiiiit's motive time! Get your asses into the gym. Now!" Monokuma's shrill voice rang through the speakers.

First the videos, then the secrets, now this? What could go wrong? Maybe the fact that it may ruin my hard-earned reputation?! I shook these crass thoughts out of my head and went to get dressed and prepared for my glamorous entrance. I checked my hair in the mirror one more time and slicked back any stray hairs.

I pushed open the gym doors and strutted into the middle of the room, all eyes on me. Was it just me, or could I hear whispers of 'egotistical ' and 'idiotic'? I shook it off and wiped the cold sweat off my face. No, Togamis never sweat, they just glow. I stared at the podium where Monokuma usually pops up for these stupid motives. In the corner of my eye, I saw Makoto biting his nails. What has he got to worry about? I rolled my eyes. It is kind of cute though... WHAT?! NO! I'M NOT GAY! Am I? W-Whatever.

"Hello, again ladybrats and gentlebrats! I bet you're all shaking in your knees about what the next amazing motive is! Well..."

Everyone in the room inhaled a collective breath of
nervousness.

"A personality swap! Puhuhuhuhu!" Monokuma chuckled and slammed his paw down on the podium.

We all stared at him, dumbfounded. Even me. But I quickly threw my mask back on. " How is that even possible? Care to explain? " Monokuma rolled his eyes (can he even do that??) and giggled. "Puhuhu. With the amount of high-tech stuff I got, I'm pretty sure anything could happen! Hahaha!"

We all looked at each other, wondering who will be swapped. Monokuma hopped off the podium and a loud scraping noise was heard from backstage. Everyone craned their necks to look what it was. Well, everyone but me. I could care less. A massive wheel appeared on the stage a few minutes later. We saw it had the same pixelated avatar on the nameplates on the wheel.

"Now, now. I'll spin this wheel twice, and whoever it lands on gets swapped! Puhuhu!
Leeeeet's give it everything we've got! Iiiiiiit's spinning time!" The bear gave it an almighty spin and we watched it go round and round and round until it started to slow and stopped on...

Me!?

I knew there was a possibility but I wasn't expecting it to actually land on me! I started to breathe heavily. Why am I so panicked? Why do I feel like I'm about to cry? I want to scream. "M-Master? A-are you o-okay?" Toko gasped. I felt hands on my shoulders and looked around to see Makoto trying to comfort me. Usually, I would have insulted him and walked off but I needed this. I needed this comfort. I tried to speak but my words were choked and then afterward the tears spilled out. They felt like acid on my face.

Makoto POV

I stared in wide-eyed shock at this blubbering mess that used to be Byakuya. I tried to comfort him and I started to speak slowly to him. "Byakuya, I need you to listen to me. Nod if you can hear me." A feeble nod. " I need you to breathe in and out, big breaths, and slowly count to 20. " After a while of this, he started to calm down. He opened his mouth to speak. "T-thanks..." He whispered. I looked at him, surprised. He never says thanks to ANYONE!

"No problem..." I said. I let go of his shoulders and he straightened up. (R u sure about that) Monokuma just laughed. "Puhuhuhuhu! The amount of despair in his eyes and voice! I want that all over again!" I was about to make a snarky remark about what he had said in defense of Byakuya, but he continued speaking. "Now for the next person! I hope they have an even bigger reaction!" We all watched in suspense as it began to slow again.

"And it is... Makoto Naegi! "
