"The act of searching for hope, to try and find it -
that by itself is the true meaning of hope."

   "How do you know my name?"

   Here I was standing behind Mukuro, I didn't mean to blurt out her name. She snuck up on me while I was checking out the chicken coop on the fifth floor. I was by myself. I made sure of it when I looked around for anyone to talk with. My blood ran cold as the girl still dressed up as Junko Enoshima snuck up on me with a cherry tone. That tone is now long gone...

   What should I do?

   "I need to go--" I pushed up and past the girl.

   She wasn't letting that happen, Mukuro pulle on my arm and made sure I was looking up at her. Slowly, with each word she twisted my arm. "I asked, how do you know my name"

   "A-a-ah! My arm!" I hopped the further she twisted it. "It slipped o-out! I didn't mean it--"

   "I want the truth, all of it!" She shouted.

   Monokuma showed up, he jumped between us. Mukuro recently let go of my arm, "Hey hey hey! What's going on between the two of you? Fighting out in the open like this? Follow me."

   Mukuro glared back at me before following the small bear. I hesitated following the pair, but in all honesty, what choice did I have. He quickly rushed us to a room, we climbed stairs after stairs before there was a hatch.

   "Why did you stop?" I asked.

   Monokuma stood in front of the final ladder, "This is for you two to go up."

   "Why don't you come with us?"

   "I've gotta watch after the others." He waved us off before heading back where we came from, "I can't babysit the two of you."

   "Do... you know what's up there?" I asked. Mukuro shook her head, even though she looked a little timid. Placing a hand on the ladder, she didn't even wait for me to follow after her. Mukuro opened the hatchet and let it crash down on me.

   'This mother fuck--'

   I pushed open the hatchet and pulled myself up into the dark room. There was a chair in the middle in front of a bunch of screens... I could only assume the real Junko was seated there.

   "How... boring..." Her voice bounced off the walls. It sent shivers down my spine--yet it was so captivating.

   "S-Sister?" Mukuro called out.

   "I expected much more from you, Y/N." Junko completely ignored her twin. The chair spun around and a small bear was in her lap. On one hand, there was a drink, the other was busy stroking the bear's head. "You were doing so well... but yet you're a pain in my side. Is this how we meet?"

   The more we talked, the more Mukuro's face twisted. I thought of an answer, "I guess this is, why did you bring the two of us up here?"

   "To finish off my final plan..." She placed the drink down on the table rather harshly. I was afraid that she would break the glass and the entire system behind her would crash. Speaking of the screens behind her, they were hooked up everywhere.

   Everyone was exploring, only really Chihiro running around the fifth floor-- Yashihiro was dragged along with him. 'What were they looking for?'

   "W-Wait, you two know each other?! How?! Where! Why aren't you telling me anything?!" Mukuro steadied her voice.

   "You two havent gotten a proper introduction yet, right? Where are my manners!" Junko spun around in the chair, kicking her feet. "Y/N, meet Mukuro! Mukuro meets Y/N! The two biggest idiotic pawns in my plan!"

   "You never told me about them, you just said it was the two of us..." You could hear the pain in her voice, no matter how well she masked her voice.

   "Sometimes a little lie is necessary to keep things moving along, wouldn't you agree?"

   "I guess..."

   "I feel I should i've a proper introduction to myself!" Junko hugged herself, "The older sister, tough and proud—that was Mukuro. The younger sister, smart and cute—that was... Hahahahaha! Me! Junko fucking Enoshima! And together, we were the Despair Sisters! AKA the Ultimate Despair! But you already knew that didnt you?! Didn't ya, didn't ya!"

   "I did--"

   "--So why the fuck did you let me continue introducing myself?!"

   "Junko...?" Mukuro jumped into our conversation, she was looking for answers. "why didn't you keep in contact with me? W-Why did you keep contact with them and not me?"

   Junko stood up from her chair, taking a small contraption in her hand. She roughly shoved me to the side, her nails digging into my arm. She slowly walked up to her twin. "Don't forget who you're talking to. You're simply playing a character, a fake me. You will never be me. This ego and false persona that you've created when you hid behind my image is all fake!"

   "I know--Why did you tell us to come up here?!" The elder of the two fell on her ass the closer Junko got to the two of them. I felt like I was frozen in place, was it out of fear?

   "Answering the same questions, over and over! Just make up whatever answer you want, I don't give a shit! The truth's fuckin' lame, anyway."

   "This makes no sense! You won't answer me!"

   What's wrong with Mukuro? I've never seen her act this way before with Junko--why is her character suddenly out of place?

   The younger twin walked closer and closer to the other. She gave the other a wicked grin, "Two people can never become one as long as the walls of mind and body exist... you only provided your usefulness for a short while..."

   "W-What does that mean?"

   I wish I could prevent what happened next... but I was too slow.

   "It means... you must die."

   She pressed the button and immediately spears flew through the other's body. I almost hurled at the sight.

   "...Wh...? H-Huh? This wasn't... supposed to... Why... me...?"

   Mukuro's head fell to the ground, she twitched for a while before her lifeless body took its final breath. Her final words... they'll be engraved in my brain forever.

   "Killing my precious sister with my own two hands...who knew the day would come? I've never been a stickler for following a plan to the letter, ya know? If I planned everything out and knew just what was gonna happen, that'd be sooo boooring! Jeez, misunderstandings sure are crazy!" She threw the button behind her to where I was standing. "Oh, you're still here... you can leave now--"

   I was angry.

   No, angry was an understatement. How could she just murder one of her own? How did she see this as a 'worthy sacrifice'? That and she's a horrible fucking human whos done worse as the series will progress from here on out. From torturing a girl to death, brainwashing a shit ton of innocent people, caused the apocalypse and just straight up murdered her sister out of bordem.

   I felt so many emotions rushing through my veins. She was such a horrible person and her actions were terrible... but is that what makes her a good villain? So bad that she makes everyone's idea of her replaying in their mind? .

  Stuck on replay.

   My blood boiled. I rushed to attack the strawberry blonde girl. I picked up the remote she used to kill her sister and tried to attack her, she caught my arms before twisting them behind my back. I dropped the remote out of shock and she swiftly caught it before hitting me twice on the head.

   Knocking me out completely.
