Chapter 2: JUST MONIKA

Author's note: I don't own Doki Doki Literature club or any characters involved or related.

I looked at the screen in shock at what lay before my eyes. This wasn't the game that I had started with originally. I was so confused, could it be that my game had somehow become corrupted? I quickly opened up the game files to check but everything seemed normal. There was nothing out of place in the code it seemed that this was just how the game was supposed to run.

I laughed aloud. This game was very clever but I was ahead of it I knew exactly how it did it's little tricks. Even the fact that Sayori's character file was deleted was just a little bit of code. That got me interested though. What were in the other character files?

I searched through Natsuki's and then Yuri's. They both were very similar in how they had the sprites and the events to trigger certain phrases. It was just normal game stuff except for a side comment at the bottom of Yuri's to keep away from knives and on Natsuki's to make sure to feed. That was strange to say the least but was probably just an inside joke with Team Salvato. The only thing that I found the strangest was Monika's file.

Instead of the usual code in the file it just had the command of /run but didn't say what to run. There were multiple blank lines but at the end was a comment that read failed project, must delete before launching game. That made absolutely no sense. Why was she a "failed project"? Why was she in the game if she was supposed to have been deleted before launching?

The character files just opened another can of worms that I didn't want to get into so I just hit the return button and left the files open as I went back to the game. The game started off normally until the first time that Sayori's name appeared in the textbook. Instead of reading Sayori as it should have it read $ 3Aa)( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)LOp and showed the malformed sprite I had seen at the title screen. After going through a couple lines of glitched text the game seemed to restart with all of Sayori's dialogue being deleted. As I went through this new dialogue I was confronted by Monika.

She was inviting me to the literature club just as Sayori had in the old version of the game. I realized what had happened I had chosen Sayori this was why she was deleted because Monika wanted to be the only girl left. I felt immediately pissed off. Everything that had happened to Sayori was because of Monika and I knew it! I loved yanderes but that was when they were targeting random girl that liked the M/C, I had actually cared about Sayori.

With this new information I went through the game spitefully. I chose Yuri just to see how Monika would fuck up her character and oh boy did Monika fuck up her character. In fact even worse than Sayori! She seemed hellbent on making sure that I didn't like any of the other girls no matter what. Yuri was a complete psycho with a fetish for sharp objects, and obsessive personality, and hyper realistic graphics sometimes replacing the normal ones.

Finally the day came where Yuri confessed in the same way that Sayori did. I held my mouse and slowly moved it to "I love you". I clicked and watched as Yuri completely dissolved into insanity. I watched her bring a knife out of who knows where and stab herself in the chest multiple times. This was just too much for me and I stared in shock at her dead body as text scrolled across the screen in bold gibberish.

Soon Natsuki arrived in the club room and threw up after seeing Yuri's still bloody dead body. She ran out of the club room and Monika walked through the door of the clubroom. Monika looked in shock before apoligizing to my character for staying there all weekend and that she must have caused some bug in the game's code. She then went into the files and I watched as she deleted the files for both Yuri and Natsuki before completely deleting anything she deemed unnesesarcy.

We sat in the class together as Monika looked at the screen.

"Uh well Hi... I didn't want it to turn out like this but umm you know...," she started off, "well that doesn't matter because your'e here with me and we're happy finally!" She went on to explain how she had found out that she was just a character and how once she found out she just felt lonely. Then the m/c showed up and she wanted to be with them but all of the other girls were in the way. So she had to delete them, which was fine, she insisted, because they weren't even real like the two of us, they were just scripts and code. We sat there for a while just looking at each other.

"Well don't worry I'll always have something new to talk about even if it takes me a while to think of it, so just hang tight," she smiled and we continued to sit in silence. At this point I was slightly pissed off this was the girl who had killed Sayori, and suicide was a very touchy subject for me, and had made me watch as Yuri stabbed herself, but something was off. She was right they were just scripts and code it wasn't as if she had done anything wrong. Right?

I sat there for what seemed like hours before realizing that the game wasn't going to end unless I did something. I got on the internet and searched for what to do and went to the first link that appeared. I had to delete her file just as she had deleted all of the others. If it had told me to do it before I would have done it immeadiltley but now I wasn't so sure. After she had repeated herself for the third time though I knew what I had to do.

Wait, what if I could trick the game? What if I could convince it that Monika was actually deleted? I created a folder on my desktop and named it M before taking Monika's file and placing it inside. She seemed to cry out in pain.

"Why?! Why did you delete me?! Do you hate me that much," she screamed "wait no you're right I shouldn't have done it. Don't worry I can still fix this just wait." I watched as the game was restored before the game ended. My plan had worked.

The game went on as it was coded with Sayori turning evil and "Monika" coming back to completely delete the game. As the credits rolled and heard Monika singing her song for me, to be honest, I cried. This may have been me getting too emotionally attached to a game but I had actually cared for all of them. One of my tears fell onto the computer and a pink spark jumped out which caused me to quickly jump back. After waiting for a while I determined that the computer was safe enough to return to and I shut it off.

With my memories still fresh in my brain I went to go get ready for the night. I would have to tell my friend how I had enjoyed the game and thank him for the recommendation in school tomorrow. I walked over to my bed and pulled the covers over my body. I stared at the ceiling before I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up I got ready for school.

At school I thanked my friend for showing me such a great game. The rest of the school day went as it normally would. The real trouble happened when I arrived home. When I started to unlock the door I felt a strange shiver run down my spine as if something bad was going to happen soon. I ignored it and went into my room, locking the door behind me.

When I walked through the door of my room I dropped all of my stuff in shock. Laying on my bed and typing on my laptop was the president from the game. Monika was in my house.

Did it get kind of cringy near the end? If it did I'm sorry but I guarantee if you stick around the rest of the story won't be like *shivers* that. Anyway make sure to leave a review and as always make sure to follow/favorite my story and profile to stay tuned for more projects. I will see you weebs later! Ciao!
