PROLOGUE - Chapter Zero (Junko Enoshima)

I despaired. I despaired within every iota of my despair-fuelled form.

This is ridiculous. I died, right? RIIIGHHHTTTT?

This should all be over.

So annoying!

I sighed. Well, I think I sighed? Or did I? What even is sighing, anyway? Do you sigh? Should I sigh?

Lemme just look at my surroundings, for your pathetic sakes.

It's like, a cinema. I think. You probably watched it in the anime adaption, right? It's like one of those old cinemas you see stereotypically in those old period dramas and stuff.

Yep, this is the after life. Or, part of it. Honestly, after I got squished into paste the first time, I was so intrigued to continue watching the world filled with my beautiful, beautiful despair, I kinda just stayed in this lobby area, y'know? I watched my fellow classmates escape my prison, and join this little "Future Foundation"; I watched the world burn in anguish, and the fight to stop the flames; I watched the anticlimactic drama of my smaller proteges, and the ensuing epilogue; I observed my first attempted "rise from the dead" in the Neo-World Program (not that it would be me, y'know, since I'm me. Ever heard of Theseus' Ship?), and my second death (does that make me a messiah?); and I watched the attack on the Future Foundation HQ, the killing off of some minor bit characters, and the "happy ending", whole "driving into the sunset" (or, uhhhhh, floating I guess. What do boats do? Sail? I think? Hmph.)

Only, for those muppets down there, it wasn't actually a happy ending. Sure, they survived, but you can survive a while from cancer- that don't make it a decent experience.

Problem is, the world continued to burn. Nothing really changed. A year or so went by, and anarchy still ruled; Future Foundation wasn't really built to be a "world government", per se, so I don't imagine they really planned it in advance.

People got used to the despair-filled world. And you know what?

That means it isn't despair anymore! Despair is unpredictable, like a wildfire, or an atom mid-reaction. You're not supposed to, like, get used to it and accept it as the norm. Enjoy it! Do stuff with it! Try to get rid of it, and despair when you fail!

If despair is the new norm, then it isn't despair anymore. Survival of the fittest, right? Guess hope wins or whatever. But is this really even hope? It's not quite hopelessness, nor is it really hopeful. it's just...

Boredom.

What to do, eh? I mean, if I'm stuck watching this bullshit for the rest of eternity, I'll have to pluck out my own eyes. Like, come on.

Hmph. How does one change the world when it's already so... well. Y'know.

Wait... I do remember that Chisa girl saying something. Foreshadowing, or something. But... there was something about her. Like, she knew something else beside me.

...

I got it! Audience! Fourth wall! Talking and stuff! If an audience talks to the programme, that involves a certain kind of interaction. But talking to the abyss is boring... but if I could return to the abyss, the shithole world I came from that I left wallowing in my magnificence...

Tell you what. I wonder... No, not THAT. They broke it, y'know? Can't fix those pieces back together. But... what about me? Like, ME me? Is there...?

They removed that one and replaced it Star Wars-style, that one is squished, that one's - actually, I'll leave THAT one inside her I think, ha - but...

Ah-ha! Got it. What if I...?

Yes.

Yeessssssssss.

OK, I'm out. Puhu... Puhuhuhu...

Oh, I'm literally out by the way. There's a door I came in, so I'm just going out it now.

Puhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu...
