The Danganronpa Team –

The young man squeezed the paper tightly in his hand. Tears of frustration welled up in his eyes, why was it happening again?

A young woman at his side tried to smile tenderly at him. She understood more than anyone this burden that weighed on the frail shoulders of her vis-à-vis.

Despite the words on this paper, all participants and actors knew that they had no choice but to bow to public pressure. They were going to be hunted even more, even more harassed if they did not attend this broadcast.

A naive hope crossed the mind of the young lady: "what if everything went well? ".The young man played with a lock of his lilac hair, tapping nervously on his chair.

"Alys, I don't want to see them again. I don't want to face them."

She looked up at the emaciated being in front of her. Nobody saw beyond this shell that he had always carried, she was often the only one to whom he dared to show himself so weak.

"The person I see in front of me is Yuki, not Kokichi. They will know how to make the difference, this time you will not be alone, you will never be alone again."

Yuki Usoya had lost all self-confidence and gained many physical and psychological traumas after participating in the fifty-third edition of this series that had caused so much suffering. 

Kokichi Oma was an emblematic character of the season, and even of the license. However, he was often misunderstood, especially by the other participants.

He had been able to count on Alys Lachen, participant of the fifty-second season under the name of Lyra Joyuu to resume a more or less normal life.Yet Yuki now had such a weak body that he had to stay in a wheelchair and his hair had lost its original shade.

"Hey, smile a little. We will overcome all this, together as we have done so far !"A smile crept across the tired young man's face.

"You are right, no one can beat the ultimate supreme leader and his sidekick the ultimate actress !"

The weeks had flown away like the leaves of the trees; all the guests were now present in this hall which reminded them of their worst nightmare. Lots of shifty looks, unsaid words, and internalized fears hung in the air.

An elegant woman with raven hair then came to meet them."Welcome everyone, thank you for accepting the invitation. I will lead you to the meeting room and explain the details of this new program in addition to announcing the participants in the first group."

She had a cold voice and constantly toyed with her red scarf, Haru and Yuki wondered even if she hadn't been part of the army by the way she was standing.The group followed her and settled in an awkward silence on the various seats of the place.

"First of all, this edition is about getting to know you. You are not necessarily from the same edition, this will be a good way to create bounds. In addition, you will be entitled to a few questions so that the public also knows more about your character."

The list of information continued to grow, but not a sound came from the mouths of the others in the room.

"Well, since there are no questions, I will move on to the list of participants for the first part.""Nagito."A small gasp of surprise came from the back of the room as the young man's fists tightened on his coat.

"Chiaki."The two looked at each other with immense compassion.

"Hajime."The trio of actors were livid, no one knew what awaited this first broadcast.

"Makoto."The young man keeps a relatively calm and cool head, but the person on his right firmly held his shoulder before jumping up hearing his character.

"Kyoko."At this stage, most had understood the dynamic that was taking shape.

"Togami."The antagonists looked at each other, the audience wanted to see animation.Only a sigh was heard, the atmosphere was already tense enough. Other names flashed by. Before ...

"Shuichi."Haru couldn't hold back his sob, Rina ran a soothing hand on his back before she knew she would hear her name."Kaede."

A ringing sounded in Yuki's ears, he couldn't hear anything anymore."And Kokichi. You will therefore be eighteen participants for the moment. We will show you your premises and tomorrow you will be taken directly to the VR room."

The woman turned her back and left, not caring whether everyone had accepted the news.And with these last words, the fifty-fourth season of Danganronpa began.
