Ouma's POV:

~-~-Game~-~

Most days are weird. Either we accidentally make a perfectly good grape soda into coca-cola, or we make a pyramid of soda cans or other miscellaneous things, only for someone to have that undeniable urge to kick it at the bottom making everything fall down. Which has the appropriate response of us chasing after them wanting to beat them up, it's perfectly rational.

Those days are weird. I like that kind of weird, and I am used to that kind of weird. The normal days are just boring, I usually nap through them.

Today is a weird one. The bad kind of weird.

At first, I thought maybe this was a prank by DICE. Mainly because recently I lied saying I had bought them some snacks from the nearby store.

I left them a bar of soap.

Because Nao and Takashiro were starting to think that body spray was the same as a shower.

It is not a shower. Repeat- BODY SPRAY IS NOT A SHOWER. 

I was perfectly prepared to laugh and sit down, and wait for them to come back for me, maybe set up a few traps like they probably did to get on each others nerves as payback, they would come back for me at the end of the day anyway. It would have been a pretty regular Thursday. 

Too bad it was Sunday. Oh and that it wasn't a normal Sunday at that.

Then came in the talking bears. And the robot. That's when I started wondering if I accidentally took drugs. Or if it turns out I was all of a sudden part of some kind of anime, which would have been disappointing since I wanted to be in a detective anime like Detective Conan. That was my thoughts, either my childhood dream of becoming an anime finally came true or I was dreaming.

The hot detective that walked in made it even more likely. He was exactly my dream guy once my fourteen-year-old self realized that just maybe always thinking that one librarian was super hot meant I wasn't straight. 

The pianist who was right next to him seemed nice. But she would most likely end up being the kind to use it against you later. No one is that nice, except if they seem to also be dumb, sorry Riko,  she wasn't lying so far though. But she clearly had some kind of intelligence that put me on edge.

The person behind her was her polar opposite. Shy, he was hiding behind his hat. His clothing choice just screamed he was emo, seriously he was only wearing black ever heard of I don't know orange? Yet he didn't seem weak, not the kind that would crumble over on one insult or cry easily. No, on the contrary, his vibe seemed more like he was inspecting the area for anything that can help him. 

I grinned, he seemed like he would be fun to mess with, he reminded me of Kazue in a sense. Maybe if I was lucky, the emo boy would have some sense of humor.  While the piano girl was talking to the robot he walked over to me fumbling with his hands. "What's your name?" he asked, "do you know what's going on?" he added.

"Wow already interrogating me are you, Mr detective?" I teased, "w-what?" he asked blushing, I grinned. He was making this way too easy, "aww you've already fallen for me haven't you?" I asked. He quickly backed away from me. That was disappointing.

"I'm sorry I'm just trying to know who everyone is..." he mumbled, "I know," I told him cheerfully, "Oh, I'm just the supreme leader of an evil secret organization. That's all. I gotta say, it's pretty impressive. My organization has over 10,000 members!" I lied.

"I've never heard of an organization of that size," he told me skeptical already, so he is smart after all, "course you don't, my organization is top secret," I told him, I could feel myself grinning wider. 

"I think I would know about an organization like that-" he tried but I yawned, "are you always this boring when you're meeting someone," I asked, "w-what?" he asked, "that was a lie," I told him, "a lie?" he asked, I smiled, "oh yeah I'm a liar," I told him, "well, for now, can you stick to the truth," the detective asked, "nope," I told him, "was that a lie?" he asked, "you tell me, detective," I told him.

"Well, something seems weird" he reflected, "why?" I asked, "well on the outside we seem to be in a giant dome, it's massive and we are all trapped inside of it since no one has found any kind of exit, there are more people here as well," he told me.

A giant dome? 

"Hey, Saihara we should go" the girl called, he turned to me, "I still don't know your name," he told me, I grinned, "Kokichi Ouma, the ultimate supreme leader," I told him, "and who are you, Mr. Mysterio?" I asked.

"Oh my name is Shuichi Saihara, I'm the ultimate detective...I don't think I am though" he admitted, "ooh a detective that's cool" I told him, he shrugged as he headed away with the piano girl.

If everyone is as interesting as Shumai there then this is going to be fun.

~-~-~???~-~-~

"D-Did you love him?" he asked, I groaned as I found myself back in the room with the other one. Great its this guy again. "Aww great back to the pocket dimension" I complained.

"Y-You didn't answer..." Kokichi muttered, I crossed my arms, "he's a liar" I told him confidently, crossing my legs, "l-liar?" Kokichi asked. I nodded, bitterness overflowing me, "yup, here I am thinking he was a great detective like all those cool manga characters I grew up with, he seemed nice too but turns out he is useless" I complained.

"I thought he was nice..." Kokichi told me, he looked down embarrassed, "you wouldn't know anything," I told him, "I-I don't think he's as b-bad as you think..." he muttered. I rolled my eyes, "I was really stupid when it came to him" I admitted, "I thought he was special, I thought he was my dream guy, he even seemed to have a sense of humor he was meeting my little checklist and adding things to my checklist at the same time...so I was stupid and didn't consider him as my enemy or suspicious, that he could be my friend if we met in a different kind of situation...but I won't be fooled twice" I told him determined.

Shuichi Saihara would never trick me again, my crush on him made me blind to his flaws in the game till it was too late, but I'm not going to repeat history. I won't let you back into my good graces, I won't let you make me question myself again, I won't let you back into my heart.

"D-did you l-love him?" Kokichi asked again. I shrugged, "Don't know, don't really know what love is, to be honest?" I told him, shrugging, "I don't remember my parents enough to love them, I love DICE, but I don't think it was that type of love, for them they are like my family, didn't feel the same way about him," I told him. "Y-You love DICE as friends t-though...r-romantic l-love is different..." Kokichi told me. I shrugged, "he seemed so cool when I first met him when we hung out in between trials...I only had that much fun when I was messing with Gokuhara and Amami...but Amami died...and Gokuhara...Saihara just left me" I said. I instantly regretted it, why should he know all this personal stuff about me?

"I...I l-liked someone o-once..." Kokichi admitted, he looked off in the distance sad as he gripped his hands tightly, as if holding back tears, "I thought he loved me too..." he choked, "did he say you would always be alone? Did he trick you by playing games with you, laughing with you, making you feel like maybe just maybe you can trust him, only for him to turn his back on you and ruin everything you worked for?" I asked.

"Is he a hypocrite? Is he a liar?! Did he make you such an idiot that you thought maybe just maybe you could make him be your friend when you had to turn in your only one into a slaughterhouse?!" I screamed.

I looked down and bit my tongue. Why am I telling all this stuff to him?

"H-he used me. H-he u-used me a-along with his f-friends..." Kokichi choked, I looked up to see him crying, "s-so yeah...m-maybe I know h-how that f-feels..." he told me. I didn't know to respond.

"I...I d-don't know everything..." Kokichi admitted, "b-but...m-maybe you can t-try to trust him again" Kokichi suggested, "shut up," I told him, "t-the reason w-why you d-don't trust p-people is my f-fault..." Kokichi choked.

"I trusted h-him...I w-was stupid..." he sobbed, behind him, the door opened. I looked at him, he just got up and headed towards it, wiping his eyes, "b-but...I d-didn't turn everyone a-away..." he told me as he walked in.

I followed after him.
