It's a lie! You know,
because I'm a liar...

   Tsumugi grinned at Shuichi, before pointing to me, "Danganronpa characters only live in the Danganronpa setting. Just ask Y/N."

Don't mess up this time, Y/N. "What are you talking about?"

"H-Huh?!"

I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyebrows at Tsumugi. She trembled, "I don't remember any of that? I know I'm living and breathing. No way we could be fictional characters in some stupid game."

"...You're lying! You totally know! You remember completely!" She argued with me.

"Doesn't ring a bell."

Monokumas claws sharpened, "This class trial will go on forever and ever!"

"We have to figure out how to beat the stupid bear!" The music dropped and completely switched tracks. 'Nonstop Debate'. Monokuma went on a little tantrum to start the ball rolling on our bolted up anger, he stopped abruptly when nobody chimed in. "Hey! Why aren't you doing anything?!"

"I'm... abandoning this game. I won't play your game anymore, Monokuma." Shuichi calmly stated.

"Start the vote." Rantaro shrugged his shoulders.

"S-Start the vote?!"

"Did I stutter?"

"I won't let you abandon this game." Tsumugi pushed her glasses turther up her face, "I definitely won't let you!"

"Yeah! I still need you guys to keep playing the game!"

Hangman's Gambit START!

A controller placed itself into my hands, the controller stick moved like crazy, as if it were tempting me to move the cursor and use it to figure out whatever puzzle was there... No. I didn't move the controller at all and it disintegrated into thin air.

"Hey.... what are you doing?!" Tsumugi cried.

"Let's have more fun with the game! Lets have lots and lots of fun with Danganronpa!" Monokuma yelled as the control popped up in my hands. Like last time, I didn't move the controls. "Do the class trial right! Or the audience is gonna get bored!" again and again the bear threw the stupid controller in my hands, i left him on read each time.

I threw the controller at him, "We're not here for your entertainment."

"It's so depressing when the villains get desperate...." Ryoma pulled down his beanie.

"Honestly..." Maki played with a knife.

Shuichi shook his head. "We're trying to survive! You're the ones who want us to be entertaining!"

The screen monitor started to boo at us.

"If you're going to complain.... Perhaps you should just stop watching." Rantaro glared his eyes at the screen. "Even if we have to make the entire audience hate us, we're not going to stop. We're going to end our tragedy here!"

"Just give up already and start the Voting Time." Kirumis soft face hardened into a scowl.

"All thirteen of us will abstain from voting, so you'll be the only one who survives."

Tsumugi quickly dismissed what Ryoma said before hopefully turning to Kiibo ''Are you okay with that? Is your inner voice telling you that's okay?"

"My inner voice doesn't matter anymore! I'm going to end this game with my friend--"

Kiibo malfunctioned.

"Kii...?"

"Keebo whats wrong?"

"Haha! That's what i thought!" Tsumugi placed her hands on her waist. "That is the outside world's decision. Isn't that right, Keebo?"

"Yes... My inner voice will not accept an ending without hope or despair."

"Keebo?!"

"Keebo! Get a hold of yourself!"

"That's not possible. The Keebo you see there isnt the one you know." Tsumugi played with her fingers. "Like i said, you can't defy the audience when you're their surrogate."

"Why don't you join us?" I offered.

"Join you?"

"Y/N... what are you doing?!" Angie whispers yelled in my ear.

"I-I.. I panicked shut up!" I hissed. "Instead of us being split down the middle and leaving you behind why don't you come with us?"

"....Stay with you? Thats so stupid, what mastermind stays with the heros?" Tsumusgi cracked. She crossed her arms and twirled with a strand of hair, "What would team Danganronpa say?"

"What would the audience say?"

"Audience?"

"Y/n..." Tenko hissed in my ear.

"Imagine, the mastermind of danganronpa, breaking the tradition of the masterminds dying and surviving! All your fans would be ecstatic!"

"....My fans? If you guys are willing to die to stop the killing game...Even if it's just fiction, I gave my life to make it. I've given my life to Danganronpa."

"Imagine how much you can do! Imagine interacting with them, imagine cosplaying.... With them." I reached forward my hands towards the mastermind, I gave her a soft smile, "imagine how much you could do for everyone."

'Please.... Please... Tsumugi please...' I begged. The bluelette stopped and started thinking, she looked back between my hand and the screen flashing with people.

"My fans..?"

"Your admirers."

".... Hey monokuma?" Tsumugi asked. "Follow the protocol... Monokuma, please tell us the results."

The bear chirped, "Hmmm? Okay! Then let's begin!"

The screen came down, all the votes counting in-- if there even were votes. No votes, nobody voted, not even Tsumugi.

"All of us abstained from voting?" Maki asked.

"W-What's going on!? Didn't keebo vote?!" Himiko balled up her hands, shaking them.

Shuichi placed a hand on my shoulder before embracing me in a hug. "Im.. im so relieved, thank you so much Y/N..... Thank you.."

Tsumugi picked at her fingers, a soft smile placed on her face. "It looks as if the world has changed."

"If keebo refused to vote, then that means the world has changed." Shuichi let go of the hug, but our hands were still intertwined. "It means the audience chose not to vote as well.... They rejected this killing game."

"Aw man, i totally wanted to see Tsumugi get squashed like a bug!"

"Wh-What?!" Tsumugi cried at Kokichis words. Kirumi came up behind the mastermind and placed a hand on the slightly smaller girl's shoulders. She rubbed the girls shoulders to ease her down.

"Let's get out of this school." Rantaro gripped my other hand and we headed towards the exit of the school. He placed Kiibos ahoge back onto his head, softly grabbing the robot's hands too.

We made a long line of hand holding, "Aw man i have to hold the icky masterminds hands..."

"....just hold it."

Kirumi hit kokichis head with her free hand, "Stop it before she changes her mind."

We walked towards the school exit, avoiding the rubble and potholes Kiibo caused. The exit of the school flashed white and soon, my body disintegrated into thin air.

Thank you, Y/N for playing and finishing Danganronpa. We couldn't have done it without you.

Happy ending.
