"Living in despair really
isn't living at all"

       My hands danced on the piece of paper in front of me, today was the day that Gonta went on a bug rampage. I had my motivation video in my bag, hanging on the back of my seat. The video I had was my own.

      'Who were the most important people in my life?' It asked, not even I knew the answer to that question. Today was the day where Gonta played 'the most dangerous game' with all of us. I was hoping if I stayed in my ultimate lab, I could avoid him. All I needed to do was talk with Ryoma and Kirumi to prevent the death so doing anything else is unnecessary.

     "Gonta found you!" A voice yelled while slamming open the front door.

      I let out a high pitch screech as the 6'6 man barreled his way into my lab. I fell backwards from my chair and tried to run away. Gonta caught onto my ankle and pulled me upwards. I was currently dangling in the air, thank god I had shorts on.

      "Gonta what the fuck!" I screeched.

      "Gonta found a bug hater." He picked up my satchel and walked out the room still holding a strong grip on my ankle. I begged and pleaded for him to let me go, that my blood pressure was causing me to have a headache. "Gonta no can do, he must bring all the bug haters to love bugs."

         "I-I love bugs tho!" I lied.

         "It's not good to lie, Gonta saw on your monopod that you hate bugs. Gonta help Y/N love bugs." He carefully shook me. 'Fuck... this isnt going to be fun.'

         "I don't hate them, I like them from afar?" My voice cracked. He ignored my pathetic attempt of wrangling out of his grasp.

      "No! Gonta no can let you leave! Sorry, but....is for your own good." He opened the door to his ultimate lab.

        "G-Gonta did you really have to bring them like that?!" Shuichi sweated as Gonta carefully set me down on the table. I fell backwards as my body tried to regain all the blood that's been flipped around in my body.

        Tsumugi rushed forwards and helped me sit up, she supported my back and gripped my arm. She giggled and told me we were in the Ultimate Entomologists lab.

      "Thank... but i want to know if i could leave..." Gonta started rummaging through something in the back while kokichi happily helped himself to my bag. "Do you see something you like?"

     "Not really, your bag is really tacky plus you shouldn't use that brand of chapstick. It isn't doing you much justice." He teased while my face flushed red with embarrassment. I softly touched my lips with my tongue.

    Sighing, he pulled out my motivation video. "It's nothing special--GONTA GET THAT SPIDER AWAY FROM ME!" I screeched while latching onto the blue hair female next to me. Gonta had just set a... whatever it was eight legged monster on the table next to me.

      He angrily picked up the spider and shoved it in my face. "Say hi to the spider!"

     "Gonta stop it!" I screamed and jumped off the table. He held onto my arm tightly and placed the spider right on top of my arm. My legs wobbled and collapsed under me.

    "Gonta you should let Y/N relax, i think i saw a Mygalomorphae over there!" Kokichi grinned.

     Gonta nodded and took the spider off my arm. I instantly grabbed my bag and looked for anything to get the tingling feeling off my conscience.

      "At least you didn't get knocked out..." Tenko joked and helped me off the ground. She cupped my face and inspected it. "Does your face hurt? Do you want me to spit on your face and make it feel better? My saliva makes injuries heal faster!"

      "Please don't..."

     "We were all seized by Gonta...and brought here." Korekiyo explained.

   "But shuichi's the only one who got knocked out."

      Kiibo noticed Shuichi's embarrassed expression and pitched in "Gonta did apologize for that, Shuichi. Apparently he couldn't slow down in time to grab you."

      "What is this anyways...?" Shuichi asked. "Why did Gonta do this?"

       Tsumugi angrily pointed at Kokichi. "It's... because of that guy. He was provoked by... that guy."

     "There's no use trying to escape. Gonta will just catch you again, just ask Y/N." Kokichi raised his head behind his head.

      Tenko whispered in my ear, but i'm pretty sure everyone could overhear us "I couldn't stop Gonta, not even with my Neo-Aikido.. But if he ever brings harm to you like that again or brings another bug near you, I'll kick off his head!"

      "Please Tenko, if i see another bug i might just pass out." I mumbled. "Gonta don't you have any ladybugs, butterflies or even a firefly?"

     "What are kokichi and gontas true aim, gathering us all together in this room." Korekiyo asked.

     Kokichi explained to us how he tricked Gonta into thinking everyone hated Bugs and now we're at an 'insect meet and greet'! I tried to make it to the door but Gontas' eyes glared me down before I could even reach my hand on the handle.

      "It would appear..further argument is a useless endeavor." Korekiyo hummed.

      "Now gonta..Go ahead and teach them just how wonderful bugs are!" Kokichi said. "Start with, Y/N!"

    "Leave me alone before I literally crawl through an open window." I carefully stepped behind Tenko for protection, she held her hands up in a defensive stance. Gonta said he couldn't bring anyone else to the meeting and apparently it was okay to have a meeting with the seven of us.

     When kokichi was talking about lockpicking, Tsumugi argued, "What? You're going to enter a girls room without permission?"

     "It seems I must be the one to take care of this, with my talent, Kokichi i will stop--"Kiibo started before kokichi cut him off.

      "Lets see..." Kokichi looked around. "It's exactly 9 p.m right now. I should be back by nighttime. Welp! Have fun with the bugs till then!"

      "Wh-what should we do? At this rate it'll end up as a motive video screening party!" Tsumugi cried as Kokichi excited the lab.

       "M-My Neo-Aikido is no match for Gonta's Superhuman strength either.."Tenko wined.

     "...We still have a chance when kokichi comes back." Kiibo encouraged. 'I didn't really care about any of this, I need to find Kirumi or Ryoma, mainly Kirumi.

      If I manage to convince Kirumi not to kill Ryoma for her nation, then I might be able to save both of them and avoid a class trial. If I find Ryoma, I have to make him see his worth is valuable. Even if I convince Ryoma not to agree with Kirimis plan, who says she wouldn't find another victim?

     Gonta let out a hoard of bugs, Tenko grabbed my arm and tugged me along. The six of us rushed to avoid the swarm of bugs drowning us. I felt like fainting, if Gonta thought this was going to make me fall in love with bugs then he's got a few screws loose. The night time announcement went off but the insect meet and greet continued without mercy.

      Kokichi walked in and Gonta greeted him happily. "Oh, you come back, Kokichi! Come, we have fun! We're gonna have so much fun!"

      "We did not have fun." I mumbled leaning on Kiibo, catching my breath.

    "Y'know, as much as i'd love to do that... maybe we should call it a day, hm?" Kokichi looked down at the ground upset. "The bugs look really tired, and a gentleman knows to do things in moderation, y'know?"

      "Oh...Gonta understand."

     "So you clean up while I take care of business with the others."

      Kokichi threw all the monopads on the table. Tsumugi grouched, "You said you'd be back by nighttime, but it's already 11 p.m now."

      "Sorry, I ran into an unexpected snafu. But look!" He sounded half assed with the apology. He pointed to the Monopads on the table.  "Kub pads! Gotta catch 'em all! I even got the pads to the people who aren't here!"

       "Have any of them seen their own pads?" I asked. My hands rummaging through the monopods.

      Kokichi placed a hand on his chin "Mmmm, i don't think so. Why are you so curious? Planning on murdering someone?"

       "Not at all. Ive already seen my own motive video, i just want to know if anyone else saw theres to prevent another murder." I carefully took one in my hands and turned it on. 'Kaito, not interesting..... Kiibo...about his inventor father... There's mine, not important... Maki.. next..'

     Something grabbed my wrist and pulled it backwards. I looked up to be met with Shuichi's grey eyes. "I don't think you should go through the others personal information..."

     "I'm not looking, I'm just briefly checking something." I pulled my arm back to continue searching for Kiumis and Ryoma.

      "Please! I have something to tell you all!" K1-B0 dragged everyone's attention onto him. He talked about how Kokichi tricked gonta into kidnapping everyone. I carefully averted my attention and dug through all the names again. When I finally got the two monopods I rushed out of the lab with everyone else.

'Sorry kokichi, i'll come get you after you get your Karma.'
