: MAIZONO SAYAKA :
"I DID IT FOR MY FRIENDS"
I stood at the edge of the concert stage in the Nippon Budokan, looking around. This was the site of my first concert with the girls: I remembered that night very well, especially since Ayaka first sang out her catchphrase of "rock you like Ayakasu". If I closed my eyes I could hear the screams of the fans and feel the intensity of the strobe lights on my face.
Time had changed it. In the two years since I first joined ... the memories I had been given after winning hurt.
As the wind blew through the building, I pulled my arms tighter around myself. My school uniform had been torn and burnt during my feral sprint away the Academy, and it now offered little comfort and warmth from the natural world. Looking at my arms I could see how pathetic they looked: withered and covered in soot, a scar running down the left arm and a fresh cut oozing blood from the right. Slight movements made it burn.
I winced as I rubbed at my forearms, hoping to make myself colder.
"Why did I ... why d-did I want ... ?"
The roof had collapsed some time ago, leaving a gaping hole in the ceiling, opening up to the night sky. It was a clear night. The moon was overhead, bright and radiant, like how I once was.
"A-Ayaka," I muttered, trying not to cry.
But then my mind turned from the girls. Something made it drift in a haze towards the classmates I had left behind - that I had killed so I could be free. Perhaps it was the moon because as I stared up at the glowing light and tears came down cheeks, a face as happy and as radiant as the sun emerged. Naegi Makoto. He had been so nice to me; he was my friend - my best friend, my ... maybe more. Even when that bear forced that game on us Naegi hadn't been mean or bad-wishing on any of us. The first thing he did was make sure I was alright.
"I b-b-betrayed ... I b-bet-trayed you!"
I fell to my knees.
"I'm s-so s-sorry, guys - I really am ... I b-betrayed you all! Naegi ... f-forgive - f-f-forgive me."
Sayaka was first because if she was successful in killing Leon, then she would have been the first murderer. The scenes are all going to be this length roughly, taking a look into my AUs and headcanons. I hope this was ... emotional enough?
Only murders and attempted-murders shall be written. Feedback would be really appreciated in this series.
