"Where am I? Why am I here?"
Those were the two questions she wondered when she woke up. She quickly realised that she was sitting on a chair, but it took her more time to notice the strange helmet she had on her head. In a fit of fear, she jumped from the chair and moved away from it. She was relieved to discover that the helmet was a part of the chair. She had been worried that this suspicious looking helmet might have been fixed on her head.
She than realised that she had a greater concern that the place she was and the reason why she was here. She didn't remember anything before she woke up on this chair. She had no single memories about herself. She didn't know her past, her age, her name, she wasn't even sure about her gender (even if she had the impression she must be a girl). She quickly checked her body and confirmed that she was indeed a female.
She looked around. The room she were seemed to be some kind of laboratory. Unable to identify the majority of the stuffs here, she decided to quit and go investigated the rest of the place.
She quickly realised that she must be in a school. She spotted a bathroom a decided to go. Fortunately, it was the girls' bathroom. She then went to the mirror to see what she looked like.
She saw the reflection of a young woman who seemed to be a late teen or a young adult. She had long, disheveled, dark red hair and eyes of a similar color. She wasn't wearing any makeup and her face looked pretty average. Her clothes consisted of a brown jacket and skirt of the same color, with under the jacket a white shirt. This outfit seemed like a school uniform.
"So this is my appearance…" She thought. "I must be a highschool girl."
Now that she knew what she looked like and guessed her age, she needed to find her name. She searched in her pockets, hoping that she could find an ID card or anything that could identify her. The only thing she found was a key. Since this key was her only belonging and a potential clue to find out who she was, she decided to go investigated the school to find out which door this key was for.
After a lot of failure, the young woman arrived in what seemed to be a dormitory. She tried the key on some of the doors. After three essays, she finally found a door that matched the key. Carefully, she opened the door. She discovered what seemed to be a bedroom.
"It must be…my dorm room." She concluded.
With hesitation, she went into the room. She spotted a television with a note on it.
"Press start and watch." She read.
Nervous but also curious, she slowly approached her finger from the television and press the start button.
The television turned on. The screen showed a devastated town. People with mask representing a black and white bear were destroying everything on their way. There were corpses on the ground and cars of fire. It was truly despair-inducing.
Unable to continue watching this, the red haired girl turned off the T.V. She couldn't believe what she saw. She couldn't think that it was real, it must be some kind of movie.
"Even if it was real…it has nothing to do with me." She thought. "I don't even remember who I am!"
Still desperate to find out who she was, she continued to investigate the room. She opened the nightstand's drawer and found a notebook.
"Otonashi Ryoko Memory Notebook…?" She read on the cover.
Curious about this mysterious notebook, the red haired girl opened it and began to browse it. She read some words or sentence like Hope's Peak Academy, The Tragedy, Ultimate Despair and Enoshima Junko, but she didn't read what it was about. Something else was bothering her. It was the handwriting. It looked familiar to her, even though she couldn't remember anything.
She looked again in the drawer and found a pencil. She then searched a blank page in the notebook and began to write. She wrote "I'm a highschool girl and I have no memory". She then compared her handwriting with the one in the notebook, which concluded her deduction.
"I'm the one who wrote this notebook." She deduced. "Which means…my name is Otonashi Ryoko."
It's the return of Otonashi Ryoko, in the IF universe! Why did she come back? What did Junko planned? You'll find out eventually, if I decide to continue this story.
If you liked it and want me to continue, don't hesitate to let a review, it would encourage me.
