Your POV:

"Ryoma... welcome back..." I told him.

    Ryoma, who was once dead was back in this world, his body and soul both unfazed. It was a shock to me that this actually worked. I felt very happy about what the results were.
    I looked over at where Ryoma was standing, and I noticed that he was looking at himself with a look of confusion on his face. He was probably wondering what he was doing here, alive once again, not showing any signs of the death he experienced, and what came after that.
    "Why am I alive? I watched that stupid motive video that told me that I had no one who cared about me in life..." Ryoma explained in a deep voice, "I wanted to die, and I got it. Why am I here?"
    I looked down in response to what Ryoma was saying. I knew that his whole life, no one cared for him. He didn't see anything useful about his life at this point. He was so miserable with the thought that no one wanted to care for him. I know I cared.
    It was my job to explain everything to him. The device Miu made me was on, getting rid of the signals any cameras could have. I owed it to him to explain everything.
    "Ryoma... after you were dead, your body discovery was a part of a horrifying act..." I explained, "your body was dumped into a tank with piranhas that mutilated your body... it was probably the most horrible thing I've ever seen."
    "Why are you bringing that type of thing up?" Ryoma asked in response, "it's not like I was alive to experience the pain of what you just described."
    "I know..." I muttered in response, "I felt so useless at that point. I have a rare gene that could bring people back to life. Only people who are intact though."
    I paused for a moment, a sad look on my face. It was really hard for me to explain this and not cry about it. I had to keep going.
    "I couldn't do anything to save you even though I wanted to..." I explained, "I wanted to show you that you have a purpose. We care about you. I wanted to give you a reason to live..."
    Ryoma seemed genuinely shocked about what I said. I was sure that he was used to people abandoning him, and not caring about his struggles. He was like me in a sense. He was like a past me.
    "If that's the case, how did you bring me back?" Ryoma asked.
    "We did a ritual... but I added a step," I explained, "and it worked..."
    "Ryoma... (y/n) constantly beat herself up over not being able to save you until now," Rantaro explained, "she cares about everyone here. She wants to see us all escape together. She would never leave you out of that."
    I looked over at Rantaro when he said that. A smile formed on my face. He was defiantly right about that. He knew me like an open book.
    I looked back at Ryoma, who was taking in what was just said. He was shocked. It felt as if he was thinking that I was the one person who never gave up on him.
    Tears formed in Ryoma's eyes from what I saw. I had no idea if they were tears of joy or tears of sorrow. Seeing someone like him cry made me want to cry as well. It was like a domino effect.
    "(y/n)... you are the first person in awhile who wouldn't give up on me," Ryoma explained as he wiped his eyes, "I was gone, and yet, you still never gave up on me. I don't deserve such kindness, but... I thank you for it."
    When Ryoma said this, I felt tears form in my eyes. There was a small smile on my face as tears flowed down from my cheeks, dripping off into nothing. I felt happy... I felt happy that I was able to save someone who seemed to have no chance at being saved.
    "I just wanted to give you a purpose..." I said as the tears continued flowing, "you deserve so much more than what life has given you thus far. I wanted to make sure that you would be alive to see the day where we escape this wretched place forever."
    "I feel like I have a purpose..." Ryoma explained, "people like you... people like Kaede. People who care about others even if it can hurt them... they will never give up on trying to make that person feel special. You definitely are making me feel special right now..."
    "That's good," Rantaro told Ryoma, "realizing the reality of what people think, and changing your mindset if only a little is he first step. You should focus on yourself and make sure you keep the progress."
    "So it's kinda like training, huh?" Ryoma asked, "but instead of training my body, I'm training my mind to see better things about myself."
    "Exactly!" I piped up, "Shuichi, Maki, Kaito, and I have been training ourselves to be stronger, as well as see the amazing things in ourselves. You should join!"
    "I think that sounds like a great idea..." Ryoma replied, "now... I want to know everything that's happened for whatever amount of time I was gone."
    I owed this to him as well. I explained how Kirumi was found guilty as well as the fact that I saved her. I told him about Angie trying to kill me by forging a suicide note as well as trying to drown me in the pool.
    I also had to explain that Angie was found dead, and I brought her back too. Having her alibi for what happened during the time period led me to confront Kiyo. I told him that this didn't end well because he held me hostage, as well as him being the cause of the cut on my neck. The small cut that was caused by confronting someone who was about to make a huge mistake, for himself and the others around him.
I also had to tell him that the others decided to keep him tied up in Ryoma's Ultimate Lab, specifically in the bathroom of his lab. This was to keep him from getting into more trouble.
His reaction for the information I was telling him was calm. It slightly reminded me of how Rantaro copes with stressful events that have happened to us before. He stayed calm and he tried to make the situation less worrying for other people.
Making the situation less worrisome was the major difference between Rantaro and Ryoma. Ryoma typically would just stay silent and speak his mind about it, getting straight to the point.
Another theory popped up on my head. Ryoma could be hiding how shocked he was about this whole situation. It was easily very plausible. Normally others will keep emotions to themselves so others wouldn't worry about them. That was how I tried to cope with stress.
I patiently waited for Ryoma's response on the matter. I wanted him to be truthful with me about everything he felt when I was telling him all of this. As far as I could remember, I tried giving the best detailed explanations I could. It was the least I could do for someone who was just brought back to life.
"So that's all that happened, huh?" Ryoma questioned, "you all seem to have gone through a lot considering what's happened. I'm just glad no one got hurt."
"Ahem!" I exclaimed.
With a slightly irritated look on my face, I pointed to the bandages wrapped around my neck to keep the wound from bleeding. It seemed that Ryoma forgot that I didn't come from that situation unscathed.
"Ryoma, I didn't come out uninjured..." I explained, "this was the price I had to pay for being brave and confronting the enemy."
"I guess that's one way to put it..." Ryoma replied, "sorry for forgetting that you had a small cut from Kiyo. It kinda slipped my mind..."
"It's alright," I replied with a smile, "aside from having this small cut, I'm still okay! I'm not dead yet!"
Ryoma snickered slightly as he shoved his hands into the pockets on his uniform. He still had his candy cigarette in his mouth. He seemed to be turning towards the door.
"That's a good thing," Ryoma explained, "you are the hope that is guiding everyone closer and closer to freedom. If you die now, all of that hope will turn into despair. It seemed that I succumbed to it, but now I feel like I'm full of hope again. Make sure to stay safe."
Ryoma waved at me as he walked over to my dorm room exit. It seemed like he was about to leave the room and go back to his dorm.
"I'm going to get some shut-eye," Ryoma said, "I'll see you both in the morning."
    With that said, Ryoma left the room silently, leaving Rantaro and I in complete shock. Ryoma not only told me that I was someone that everyone here cared about, but he also told us that he was finding himself full of hope again. That thought made me happy.
    I considered what happened tonight to be a complete success. It wasn't just a success on bringing Ryoma back to life, but it was also a success on his self esteem. I was very happy that I was able to get Ryoma to see how much everyone cared about him. My only hope was if Kirumi saw him, she'd apologize to him for what she did.
    "That was an amazing thing he said, wasn't it?" Rantaro asked me.
    I nodded in response to his question. It seemed like the last things I heard him say was about how he wanted to be like us, but he couldn't. How he couldn't find a purpose to live like what most of us had. Even before Rantaro's situation where Ryoma tried to give his life before the time limit was over.
    In that time in the past, it seemed like there was nothing we could do to get him to change his mind, and that was causing Ryoma to suffer in silence. Despite all of that, now he can finally start getting better. He could finally see that he has a purpose in life. That was all I wanted.
    "It is amazing, Rantaro," I told him, "Ryoma was once someone who lost all meaning to life, but now he's getting it back... I'm happy about that."
    "It's all because of what you did, (y/n)," Rantaro told me as he sat next to me, "it's true what he said. You give everyone hope to keep on moving forward, even to those here who have done something wrong. You always give them a second chance."
    "I know," I laughed nervously in response, "everyone makes mistakes that they will regret in the future. Everyone knows what will happen if a murder takes place. That's what causes them to learn..."
    "True, but what if the mastermind finds you out. Would you ever give whoever that person is another chance?" Rantaro asked me.
    "It depends..." I muttered in response, "if they want to change their ways... then yes... if they want to stay the way they are and keep on hurting other people, then no..."
    "I'm just going to say this now..." Rantaro muttered, "there are some people out there who don't deserve to be forgiven."
    When Rantaro said that, I felt a chill go up my spine. He was right about that. Not everyone deserved forgiveness, but I still wanted to try to prove that wrong. I was defiantly naive in that state of mind because I was too forgiving. Angie tried to kill me, and I gave her a second chance. Kiyo tried fo kill me, and I wanted him to stay alive too.
"I know that..." I explained in response, "but even if some people seem like they don't deserve to be forgive, I'll try to prove that wrong... no matter what it takes to do so."
Rantaro seemed to chuckle lightly and smile at what I said. It seemed to me that Rantaro anticipated this reaction from me. Rantaro knew me and my mannerisms... I wouldn't even be surprised if he suspected this.
"I had a feeling you'd say something like that," Rantaro said, chuckling lightly, "I guess that's what makes you so endearing to me... the fact that you don't give up on others. It reminds me of the feelings I have when I want to search for my sisters."
"I guess we are similar in the sense of not wanting to give up," I explained with a smile, "I don't want to give up on seeing the good in others, and you don't want to give up on your family... I wish I had a good family..."
Rantaro seemed shocked at what I said. This made me think of the time that I told him about what happened in my life. Under the pavilion, looking at the night sky, after my confidence was broken by Kokichi because Kaede and I kept on encouraging them to fight through that tunnel.
    That's when a lot of emotions were set loose from my being. A voice stopped telling me I was useless soon after that happened. After I spilled what happened in my life to him.
    Rantaro wrapped his arms around me with a sad look on his face. I knew he wanted me to have a better life. I hugged him back with a sad smile on my face.
    "I know you never had a good family life..." Rantaro told me, "people who abandon the things they should care about shouldn't have the right to be called a family."
"I understand what you're saying..." I muttered in response, "but despite that.. I can't hate my father or my mother. They brought me into this world, and I could never hate them for that..."
"The love only driven by the fact that they made you..." Rantaro muttered, "I know that is one thing that makes them deserve at least a little bit of love from you."
Rantaro gripped me tighter as he said that. I was surprised because Rantaro doesn't normally show how strong he could be.
"Even though that may be the case... I want to give you a family that will love you..." Rantaro told me, "once we escape here, I will take you to my home, and my family will welcome you with open arms... that's a promise I can keep."
I smiled lightly at that. Just the thought of having a good mother or father was always thought about. What it'd be like... how I would feel. I closed my eyes as I enjoyed the warmth Rantaro gave me.
"I'd really enjoy that..." I muttered, "I hope that day comes soon.."
"It will... I promise," Rantaro told me in response.
    I smiled lightly after he said that. It made me feel like I had a chance to be happy and to experience the things in life that I've never had. It was very nice.
    "Rantaro... can you stay in here with me for the night?" I asked nervously.
    Rantaro seemed to stiffen up slightly, a blush appearing on his face. It seemed like he wasn't expecting my question at all.
    "Rantaro, are you alright?" I asked.
    "Yeah, I'm fine," Rantaro replied, "I'll gladly stay with you."
    I smiled lightly as I tucked myself into the bed. Rantaro covered himself up as well, wrapping his arms around me. Soon after that, I fell asleep.
    The next morning, the morning announcement played. I noticed something was up just by seeing it. The bald Monokuma wasn't on the screen anymore. It confused me.
Rantaro woke up as well, seeming as confused as I was. It was really strange.
"Where's Monokuma?" I asked nervously.
"I have no idea," Rantaro replied, "we should head to the dining hall though..."
I nodded nervously in response. I walked into the bathroom with a spare uniform. I got changed in there, changing the bandages around my neck as well. I brushed out my (h/l) hair, and I smiled at the results.
"Okay, I'm ready—Rantaro?" I asked.
He wasn't in my dorm room any more. I was very confused at this. I wondered why he left, and a plausible idea popped in my head.
'He must be getting changed in his dorm...' I thought.
I let out a sigh as I walked out of the dorm room.
"Boo!"someone yelled, causing me to jump up and scream out in shock.
I looked over to my left to see the person who startled me. It was the prankster of the group, Kokichi Oma. He was rolling on the ground, laughing hysterically.
"Oh my god! Your reaction was priceless!" Kokichi exclaimed in pure laughter.
I was breathing heavily as I tried to calm my nerves down. The nerve of Kokichi sometimes...
"What the hell Kokichi!?" I exclaimed, "you gave me a heart attack!"
"That's kinda the point!" Kokichi laughed, "nee-hee-hee it's funny!"
"Kokichi, you know it's rude to prank someone early in the morning," Rantaro's voice said, cutting through Kokichi's laugh.
I looked behind me to see Rantaro running his hand through his damp sage hair. I blushed lightly seeing him.
"You know I love messing with others," Kokichi whined.
"That may be true, but most people don't like to be messed with," Rantaro replied with a slight glare on his face.
"Ugh... fine... Rantaro you are such a buzzkill," Kokichi muttered, "I'll see you in the dining hall."
With that, Kokichi walked away, sulking because Rantaro called him out on his actions. I sighed lightly, my heartbeat finally calming down.
"Thanks, Rantaro..." I muttered nervously.
"It's no problem," Rantaro replied, "we should get going now."
    I nodded nervously in response. Ryoma was going to be there. This would be the first time that everyone would be gathered together in awhile. The only person who wouldn't be there was Kiyo, because everyone wanted to keep an eye on him.
    Rantaro and I started walking to the outdoor entrance to the dining hall. It was a shortcut to get there sooner. Once we got in there, I noticed that everyone was in shock. Everyone was surrounding someone, and I knew who it was.
    "Puhuhuhu! What's going on here!?" I heard a familiar, overly cheerful voice exclaim.
    I knew who that voice was. It was the voice of that damned monochromatic bear.
    'Monokuma...' I thought.

Chapter four has started! I thought it would be nice to give Ryoma an emotional moment. So Monokuma is back, but obviously in a different way than you thought.  Chapter three had a different ending, so now here is chapter four! Predictions can now be taken! So make a fan art prediction of chapter 4! What do you think will happen?

Well that's all for now! Ciao!- CRUSIFIXdroid
