The result of the sound.

In front of me laid the dead body of an assassin.

My eyes were wide open as well as my two teammates. Blood splattered all across the circumference of our assailant body.

I held the gun firmly in my head. The gun. I had shot him with. The gun I used,

To have my one of many more kills to come

All we did was run. I grabbed Tsuki and Rosé's hands as we ran. As fast as we could from the store. If we stayed much longer, I would've been arrested as police cars made it to the scene in an instant.

We made it to a park where we stopped.

" *huff* You two okay?" I asked them. I turned my head in hopes of seeing faces of relief. I was stupid for hoping such a thing.

" WHAT THE FUCK!" Tsuki screamed as she looked at her hands.

" FUCKFUCKFUCK!" She screamed holding her hands.

" S-sis?" I reached out to her. As I got closer, she swiped my hand away.

" *gasp*...oh" I said retracting my hand back to my body.

" I-I believe we should treck our way back to Honey.." Rosé muttered refusing to look me in the eye.

" Y-yeah..."

After 20 minutes of walking, we found Honey waiting by the mountain foot.

" GAH!" She said seeing the three of us.
She ran straight to Rosé and kissed her. Rosé accepted. She quickly hugged Tsuki while Tsuki returned the hug with full force.

She then turned her attention to me. I couldn't bare to even look her in the eye.

She gently grabbed my hand. I looked at her this time. She then pulled me into a hug. She gradually squeezed me harder as we hugged.

" *sniff* I'm glad you're safe" She said into my shoulder.

______________________________________________________________

The four of us sat in front of a camp fire. Tsuki and Rosé sat on the opposite side of me. While Honey sat on a log. We've been silent for the past 10 minutes.

" I found him..." Honey muttered. We turned our attention to her.

" Who?" Tsuki asked holding a blanket that was rapped around her shoulders.

" Itsuki.." She said.

" You found our target?" I asked her.

" Yeah.." She muttered as she picked up a stick.

Flashback

" Um, would you like some help?" A male voice asked Honey as she carried.

Honey turned her head to face a tall man with green hair and blue eyes. He wore a white tank top along with black tights. He had glasses on as well.

" *gasp!" Honey said dropping the bag.

" Um?.. are those-" YOUR ITSUKI HISIMOTO!" Honey screamed

The green haired man now addressed as Itsuki blushed and covered his face. "N-No I'm not!" He stuttered at me.

" You're the one we've been looking for!" Honey said to him.

He then looked at me with a puzzled face.
" W-we?!" He asked. " Yeah! Me and 3 members from the Danganronpa resistance- well we just call ourselves Team HRTT *giggles* Oh it is such a relief- " Why are you here.." He coldly asked Honey cutting her off.

" T-to recruit you... Makoto says that we need you-" Tell them I said no!" He screamed.

" B-but-"

"I will never work for them! I already suffered enough in that damn simulator!" He screamed at her. Honey cowered as she began to whimper.

" Don't come back!" He said running off.

Flashback end

I could see Honey wipe her eyes as she cried over the events. Me and Rosé didn't even look at her.

" So, what do we do?" Tsuki asked. No one except Honey responded.

" We have to tell Makoto.... he lives in the forest and told us not to come back so.." She muttered.

I had enough to here. I stood up and began walking away. I then heard footsteps following me. Rosé was walking beside me.

We walked with determination in our eyes. We may not see eye to eye but we understood each other perfectly in this moment.

We have a mission to fulfill, we knew that. But that wasn't our concern right now.

Someone hurt her girlfriend.

Someone hurt my best friend.

Someone hurt one of ours.

" G-guys wait!" Honey ran after us. Tsuki didn't move.

" What are you doing?" She asked us. We just kept walking.

" T-Tsuki, help!" Honey called out to her. Tsuki them got up and moved in front of us not looking me in the eyes.

We didn't stop. " *sigh*" Honey let out.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

After 30 minutes of walking, we made it to the centre of the forest. There we saw a brown tent with a camp site surrounding it.

Me and Rosé walked up to it.

" Itsuki..." I muttered.

We heard muffling in the tent as he came out. He then glared at the four of us.

" I thought I told you not to come here" he said glaring at Honey.

" Oh yeah and she listened" I told him with a calm smile that quickly changed to a more sadistic one while Rosé glared at him.

" Too bad for you that we're not good listeners~" I told him.

" *sigh* Look, I have no intention of re joining the resistance, it's not my thing..." Itsuki told us.

" Hmph, I believe you my good sir, are lying" Rosé told him.

" G-gah" he responded.

" I agree with my teammate beside me-"
"
Friend" She corrected me and looking away.

" We're friends...." She said grabbing my hand. I smiled at her.

" My friend and I believe your lying. Itsuki... We know you're scared... We all are"

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

" Heck, we had to watch our backs just to get to the resistances base. Danganronpa is over but their Tyranny isn't..." I said.

" We... have all lost so much.." Rosé said squeezing my hand tighter. " But with our forces joined together, we can bring back joy into our lives!"

I then looked down.

" But it's gonna take a lot..." I muttered. " Today... I... I.... I killed someone... I killed someone, who was trying to kill me, my friend... and my sister... who now can't even look me in the eyes..." I said referencing Tsuki.

Tsuki then looked at my back with sad eyes.

" Tori... you,.... killed someone....." Honey asked me. I looked at her with a sad smile.

" Yeah...". Honey then moved up to hug me from behind.

" I'm so, sorry.." She muttered.

I felt the tears coming but held them back.

" So you think you're the only one that's lost... the only one feeling pain?" I asked him.

Itsuki had a shocked face.

I looked at him with eyes full of sorrow.

" Welcome to the club"
