rid of my weak self

   "Let's get this over with..." I sighed. My nerves were through the roof.

   Monkuma started up the class trial. "Since this will be the final class trial, I've come up with a special rule! So listen up! If you can figure out Mukuro's killer, and go on to solve the mystery of this school...you guys win! But if you can't...then I win! And of course, waiting for the loser is the super exciting, super heart pounding punishment!"

   "Are you saying that if you lose, you'll execute yourself?" Kyoko asked.

   "Yup, sure will!"

   "T-Thats so gruesome!" Chihiro covered his mouth.

   "...And that's final? No loopholes? No wriggling out of it later?" Kyoko agreed.

   "Of course not! Bears never go back on their word!"

   Celestia giggled, "I don't think he would actually hold up his end of the bargain."  

   "Never mind all that. I just have one question for you..." Yashihiro shook his hands free from the sweat. "Is the mastermind...only one person?"

   "...Hmm?"

   Yashihiro blew up at Monokuma, "Don't bother. I already know the answer! You're all the mastermind, aren't you!? You're all out to get me! I'm right, aren't I!? I knew it! You guys have all been working together, haven't you!? I have evidence, so I know I'm right!"

   Hina pointed, "Hey! You stole my line! You're all out to get me, I'm sure of it! I have evidence of my own!"

   "What a coincidence. I too have evidence to present. Evidence that proves everyone other than me has been working together..." Byakuya held up a photo, however it wasn't facing us. He was trying to hide his evidence.

   "Wh-What...? Wait, hold on...This doesn't make any sense... How can the three of us each have that kind of evidence!?" Yashihiro cried.

   "Me and Chihiro also have our own evidence" Mondo volunteered, 'this is bad... I'm the only one without any quote on quote evidence. That and I'm not in any of the pictures....this is bad. Really bad.'

   "Y/N" Chihiro pulled me down a little, he whispered in my ear as everyone continue to debate. "You have your picture, right?"

    "No..." I whispered back.

    "Really.... that's strange." 'Why was he acting like this?'

    Chihiro was really making me uncomfortable, what was he going on about? I turned back to ask him what he meant but he looked so focus on the trial, more.... focused then ever before....

   "It appears I also have my own evidence." Celestia held up with her two fingers. Not showing the crowd what she was holding.

   "It's not just you six. I have evidence, too." Makoto coughed up.

   "What!? You too!?" Yashihiro screamed.

   Makoto asked, "The evidence you're all referring to is this group photo, right?"

   "W-Well, yeah...Huh? Wait, but mine's different! With the picture you have...I'm in it! But that can't be right! Cuz in my picture..." Aoi folded as soon as she saw Makoto's picture. She started evaluating the picture and comparing it to her own.

   "Oh my. If I didn't know any better, I would've assumed that the picture was trying to run away from you." Celesita giggled.

   "See? I'm the only one not in it!" Aoi showed Celestia the picture, waving it in her face. Celestia hummed, holding Aoi by the waist and putting a hand on her shoulder, trying to calm the energetic teenage girl.

   "Hiro, you have a picture too, right? Let's see it!" She demanded from Yashihiro. No matter how many pictures everyone looked at, it was the same result for all of them. My nerves were jumping through the roof.

   "O-Okay, but be careful with it. It's pretty important evidence..." Yashihiro carefully handed over the picture, so did everyone else. I awkwardly stood as everyone evaluated their own before Makoto finally got it.

   He exclaimed, "So the secret in these pictures has been revealed!"

   "Secret or whatever, I don't care! You guys are all in on this together! That's why I'm the only one missing!" Yashihiro shouted.

   Aoi mumbled, "But you're in my picture! You're the ones trying to trick me!"

   "This guy just gets dumber and dumber--" Mondo sighed.

   "I don't suppose you know." Aoi argued with him. They bickered a little, going back and forth. Makoto rubbed his head before clearing his voice.

   "We're on limited time, guys--anyways... The whole purpose behind these photos was to get us questioning and fighting with each other... The mastermind laid a trap to make us each think everyone else was working against us!"

   "Huh? I laid a trap?" Monokuma asked. "A trap!? How rude! What grounds do you have for such audacious accusations!?"

   Makoto spitballed, "The proof I need to reveal Monokuma's trap... Each photo has a certain something in common. There's a connection regarding what person isn't shown in the group photos. And that person is... The ones who got the photos In each case, the only one not in the picture is the person who received it. So, in the picture I got, I'm the only one missing."

   "That means, In the picture Hina got, she would be the only one missing. Right?"

   "Exactly, And in the picture Hiro got, he's the only one missing. The same for Yasuhiro--"

   "Please refer to me as my real name--"

   "...Same as Celestia. Anyways, In other words, Monokuma gave each of us a group photo in which that person wasn't included. And when we each saw our picture, we just assumed everyone else was the enemy." Makoto groaned at Celestia but continued anyway.

   "Puhuhu... Figured it out, huh?"

   Kyoko shrugged, "Yeah, I thought that must be it. But how was that a hint?"

   She must've stumped him because Makoto paused for a moment, He continued. "Listen, can I see everyone's group photo one more time? It's not directly connected to what we're talking about, but I'd like to double-check something..."

   "Sure, no problem." Mondo passed his picture down the line to Makoto, everyone followed in suit. Again I didn't share my picture, why? Because I DIDN'T HAVE ONE WHY MONOKUMA?! I was going to rip my hair out of my head.

   "Can you just forget about the photo already?" Hiro asked after Makoto was quiet. "Grr... Trying to trick me with such an obviously fake photo... I'm still pissed about that!"

   Aoi agreed, "And on top of that, they went to all that trouble to make it look like we were wearing matching uniforms!"

   "Can you two calm down, he just got the photos." Celesita let her accept drop a bit, feeling quite irritated I assume.

   "Hmm? So you think they're fake? No no no, I assure you, they're quite real." Monokuma asked.

   "Wh-What are you talking about!? There's no way!"

   Yashihiro jumped in after Aoi, " Yeah! I don't remember ever taking a picture like that! So it's gotta be a fake! I'm sure of it!"

   "But you know... Can we really be so sure?" Makoto asked, "Don't get me wrong. I don't remember taking this picture, either. But... Is that really enough to be absolutely positive they're fake?"

   "Wh-What do you mean...?" Chihiro asked.

   "Let's say that somehow...we'd all lost our memories. That could explain it, couldn't it?" Makoto turned to us, his eyes landed on me.

   "Oh, I get it! So we all just lost our memories at the same time and forgot about the photo. Makes sense! ...As if! You expect me to believe such an unbelievable occult-type story!?" Yashihiro scoffed.

   Aoi screamed. " Y-Yeah! We all lost our memories? That's just...crazy!"

   "I'm sorry, I'm sure that's not what he was trying to say." I sighed, "Those photos aren't the only things that point to the possibility of memory loss. the DVD does the same thing."

   "You're not g-gonna show us something indecent, are you!?" Toko was insulted.

   "The CD? Oh oh! I completely forgot about the CD, thanks Y/N. Anyways, it's nothing like that!" Makoto held up the CD. "It's a video of all of us being interviewed by the Hope's Peak Academy headmaster."

   "W-When you say 'all of us' you mean..." Chihiro asked.

   "I mean all of us. Including you." I debunked.

   Aoi bitched, You lie! I never did any kind of interview!"

   "No, it's not a lie. Just watch the DVD and you'll see for yourself." Kyoko calmed her down, "The headmaster did, in fact, interview you."

   "W-What are you saying!?"

   "I didn't imagine you would remember."

   "It's not about whether or not I remember...! You expect me to believe all this? That I...I lost my memory somehow...!?"

   Just like that we're back on square one. I was irritated, stressed and overall done with this trial....How much more will we have to endure...?
