#02 Welcome back to despair

Me and Mizono, decided to meet with the other, and talk about what they find, but I knew that we couldn't escape from here that easily. I see the others in the cafeteria, and were sitting around and talking about what each one find, while searching around. I sit down and listen to their discussion, but someone started to talking to me.

"Hey Naegi, sorry about what happen back there." Owada said.

"Don't worry about it, water under the bridge."

"Now that we are all here, let start Hope's peak academy first meeting, and discuss what each of you find!" Ishimaru said.

"Well we found what could be the exit, but I try open by force, but the door was not budging, as if was made of steel." Owada said.

"Of course, it IS made of steel." Celestia said.

"We found stair leading to the second floor." Sakura said.

"But there was shutter blocking our way." Asahina said.

"At least now we know we can only walk around the first floor of this school." Kirigiri said. She still amazing, as I remember, for coming to a conclusion, and investigations.

"The dorm bed is pretty relaxing, if you ignore the camera looking at you." Yamada said.

"The fridge have enough for to last us for days, and monobear told me, it refill the foods in the fridge daily." Fujisaki said.

"huh, you meet him?" Enoshima ask.

"Yeah, to told me about it, when I search around in the kitchen, then he disappear."

Ishimaru cough, "I see, anyway, is there anything else."

"Well know that we trap inside here with no way out." Celestia said.

"If you really want to get out of here, then you need to kill someone like monobear said." Byakuya said.

"You better not joke about that!" Enoshima said.

"Well, if you don't want to kill someone, then you must stay here your entire life." Celestia remind her."

"Maybe." Enoshima said.

"Well, I have a plan, to make sure nobody get kill easily."

"huh, a plan you say." Owada said.

"Yes, Monobear has rule of his own listed, so we can make rule of our own, my plan is nobody leave in the night time, to make sure everyone rest easy, but it depend if everyone will listen to this rule." Everyone was quiet, and thinking about this plan.

"Everyone, the meeting ends here, we should search around more to find the next exit, for now let relax!" Ishimaru said. Then, everyone went their own way. I decided to talk more with all of my friend, since last time, I was scare, and focus on searching.

"Naegi, should we search together." Maizono said, smiling.

"oh,umm…sure."

We both headed out to search around the floor, and we went to the incinerator. I remember, this is where he throw the evidence away, but I find the evidence need it, to accused him of being a murderer.

"What wrong Naegi?" Maizono ask.

"Its nothing."

"Anyway Naegi, I want to talk with you about something, do you mind?"

"Sure." I said, but I don't remember, me and her talking in here.

"Well, I didn't want to say this, but when I'm with you I feel safe, and everything you say will really happen."

I was shocked, and surprise to hear something unexpected. "R-Really!?" I said, with shocked in my voice.

"Yeah, if you were to disappear i-" She step closer to me, and looking unease.

I step back a little, and unsure at what going on. "I would-" Then the door open, and it was Ishimaru, "are you two done searching?"I step outside, and Maizono did so too.

"Well let meet in the cafeteria, and talk a bit more about our search." I nodded, and he walks away.

"Maizono, what were you going to say back there?" I ask.

She smile, "It was nothing important." "But, when I say about you being with me feel me at ease, I really mean it."

I laugh nervously, and scratch the back of my head, "I-I see." "Anyway, let go to the other" I said. When we got there, we discussed a bit, but alas we got no new information, like I knew. I hear Monobear talk through the monitor.

"As of right now it is night time, so have a good sleep tonight." Then it end.

"Everyone remember the rule we agree to." Celestia ask. We all look at each other, and nodded. "Good, then let all head back to our room, and rest with no worries." Celestia said. We all headed to our room, but I couldn't sleep. I was think of what Maizono said to me, does she feel like that back then too. I sigh, I should focus right now, rather then the past, after that I fell asleep. The next day as expected, everyone search again, but I sat in a table alone in the cafeteria, I need to think for a bit, to come with a plan to stop the next kill. While I was thinking, I hear a voice.

"I never picture you the thinking type."

I turn to see Enoshima, and I was confused, another new change.

"Hey, are you listening!"

"Y-yeah" I answer. "I though everyone left to search around."

"I didn't want to search around, so I saw you here, I thought we could chat for a bit, to past the time." "Also, you don't seem that type of guy."

"Type of guy?"

"The type that Pick up girls."

"No, I'm just a regular person, sorry."

"You don't to apologize, you seem more laid-back." "Unlike some jerk I encounter, when I walk everywhere in the street." Enoshima said, angry.

"Well, you are a super model, Many people will be attracted to you." I said.

"You understand my pain, you are pretty sharp Naegi."

"I-I guess."

"I bet you like a very aggressive girl don't you."

Is that what she thinks of me, "umm..I don't think-"

"Don't worry I can hook you up with a model, when we get out of here." She said. Smiling, and she left. I sigh. She was pretty good at acting like Junko, and also she got the wrong idea about me. I feel like I'm forgetting something, I guess I shouldn't worry right now. I'm seeing new stuff I never experience back then, or maybe I forgot about it. I decided to search around a bit, before night time came, and we all went to sleep. In the morning, we all meet in the cafeteria again for a meeging.

"We are getting nowhere, if we are searching the same place e over and over again." Leon said, frustrated.

"So, are we really trap in here forever." Fujisaki said, about to cry.

Asahina trying to comfort Fujisaki, "there, there, Fujisaki, I'm sure they are coming to rescue us."

"Rescue!?" Enoshima said.

"Well, we are missing for three days now, so they are looking for us."

Then we hear Monobear laughing in one of the chair, "are you relying on the cop." "If you want to leave that badly, you can surely kill somebody right?" "I mean come on, this is so boring to watch."

"No matter how much despair you give us, hope will always win." I said. Everyone were shocked, the way I say it.

"You seem confidence about that, but everyone can fall into despair." "Ah, I got it, I know the reason you are not killing each other, despise the environment."

"Like what!" Leon ask.

"A motive." He grins. "Also, I left a little gift in the AV room, just for you all."

"AV room?" I ask, I was thinking for a bit, and then suddenly it hit me. I start running to the AV room, and I open the door to search for a certain DVD. I found it, a disc with "Sayaka Maizono" written, I threw it on the floor, and I begin smashing with all my strength. I was breathing heavily, and I hear somebody calling for me.

"Naegi, what are you doing!" Ishimaru ask.

"Hey, you can't destroyed someone else gift." Monobear said, appearing out of nowhere. "Well, it doesn't matter, because I always carry copies."

"What!?" I said.

"Everyone should watch them, it is about your family after all."

Everyone grab their, and start sitting next to a computer. Even Maizono, but I went to her, "Maizono, you shouldn't watch that DVD!" Everyone turn to me.

"Why Naegi, this is about my family and friends." Maizono ask.

"it could be a trap."

"How rude, you think I setup something like, I can't kill nobody here, unless you break a rule, I promise." Monobear said.

I stood in front of Maizono, "please, don't do this." I thought she will trust me, but she went pass me, without hesitation. I stood there stun for a bit, before I wait for her reaction. After a while, I hear her screaming.

"I don't want to stay here, I-I need to get out of here." Maizono scream. "Why do we have to kill somebody to get out, is not fair."

"Maizono.." I said.

"Who are you, and what your reason for doing this?" Kirigiri ask.

Monobear laugh, "Why I'm doing this you ask, well…" "I want you all to feel despair." Monobear grin.

"No!" Maizono run away.

"Maizono, wait!" I chase after her, and I catch up to her, and grab her arm.

"Let me go!"

"We are going to get out of here!"

"No we can't!"

"Don't fall into despair Maizono, just hope!"

"Hope is not going to get me out of here!"

"Yes it can, I will get you out of here!" "I promise!" She calm down, and she fall on my chest, and cry. I hear Monobear laughing, I will save them from despair, all of them.
