"Wow Ellie! You have really pretty hair!" Psych said. "It's so long and shiny!"

"You're making my face red just saying that Aki-chan! Kazu-chan what do you think of my hair?" Eleanor asked.

"It looks pretty," Kazuto said. "You look pretty too!"

The three of them were nine when they first met. A foreign girl came to Japan speaking prefect Japanese and met two boys in a hospital. The girl's mother told her to show off her talent everywhere and she had to obey. So she went to many places showing off her ability to speak languages with ease. That's when a young boy laid there in bed and fell in love.

There were two young boys, one a soon to be doctor and the other who came over many serious illnesses that landed him in the hospital. The girl who saw him looking at her, made the first move into what would be an everlasting friendship. That is until today when that same boy died.

"No! Only I can call her pretty!" Psych said. "Me! Ellie doesn't love you!"

"That's so mean," Eleanor said. "I love you both equally!"

"Well you can't marry the both of us," Psych whined.

"I don't want to marry Ellie!" Kazuto said. "I want to marry you Aki-chan!"

"But boys can't marry boys! Besides, I'll be with Ellie!"

At their favorite park they played for what seemed like hours. Time moved slowly for them as they shared their lives with each other. The best of friends, that's what they proclaimed themselves. How they loved each other and how no matter what they stood by each other.

...

"Yo Ellie!" Psych said. "Did you get a letter from Hope's Peak?"

"Yeah, they said they wanted me as Super High School Level Translator," Eleanor said, almost laughing.

"So I guess we're all going to the same high school then?"

"All?"

"Kazu-chan got one too. Isn't that some coincidence?"

"Not really," Eleanor looked down. "I think it was fate for us to be together."

...

"Eleanor, do you hate me that much?"

Eleanor turned around. In a bright room stood Psych, his bloody, battered, and naked body in full display. He had no eyes, he couldn't see and all he could hear is high pitched screaming. He had a headache and his ears were bleeding. His hands and legs were still bound together by that rope and that pole was still there.

"W-what do you mean?" She asked.

"Why did you kill me?"

Eleanor froze, her eyes widening. She didn't kill him so what does he mean. She didn't do anything bad to him, she didn't hate him. It wasn't here fault. She held onto her head, plugging her ears so that she couldn't hear him anymore. She was starting to hear it. High pitched screaming.

"Chldren are crying."

Who is that?

So help them.

How!?

Eleanor tried to ignore them but that only made her head hurt more. She was trying to scream but she couldn't hear it, the sound of her screaming. Had she lost her voice? A pole came straight from the ground and impaled her, the intense pain making her cry. She tried to reach out for Psych but all he did was give her an envelope opener. Knives came from the sky, ripping open her stomach and stabbing away at her insides. She was bleeding but when she tried to cover it up her hands were tied to each other.

The sound of the children grew louder and louder. As it did Eleanor began to experience the same way Psych died. Psych outstretched his hand to her but a hand lightly grabbed her shirt. When she turned she saw Kazuto as a kid with a serious look on his face.

"You have no reason to live," he said. "Because you killed Aki-chan!"

"NOOOOOO! STOP IT I HAD ENOUGH!"

Eleanor got up the bed, grabbing and pulling on her hair. Everybody around the room stared at her in confusion as she cried about how nothing was her fault. When she finally realized that it was all a dream she looked around and saw everybody's face. Where is she and why is everybody here?

"Where's Psych?" Eleanor asked. "He's not dead so where is he!?"

"Dead," Reika said. "He's dead."

Everybody looked at Reika's blunt face. She wasn't going to hold it back nor was she going to sugarcoat it. The fact that he's dead doesn't change anything. It doesn't change the fact that they're still stuck here, that they have nowhere to run, and that they have a chance at getting killed. That was Reika's line of reasoning.

"Are so you ungrateful that you're still alive that you're going to let Psych suffer wherever the hell he's at!?" Reika yelled. "Your crying will make him feel guilty for dying because most people are too stupid to see who's fault it is so they blame themselves!"

Reika pushed Nathaniel and Ryo and went towards the door.

"Idiots, all of you!" She yelled before walking out and slamming the door.

"How scary..." Nathaniel mumbled, holding onto her PSP. "But I see her point... Ah! Sorry for interrupting the moment!"

"No that's alright," Ryo said. "I know her more than anybody here and I know how she's like."

"I... I didn't know she would just run off like that..." Nathaniel said.

All eyes laid on Eleanor now, a crazed panic-struck Eleanor. She wasn't been ungrateful but rather, something else. She was guilty. Guilty of what happened that night. It was her fault, she didn't mean for it to happen it just did... Now... Now she doesn't know what to do anymore.

Kaoru crossed his arms and stared at the door. He found her suspicious of a lot of things right now, of course choosing to keep this a secret he threw on a fake smile and looked into Eleanor's direction.

"She just wants you to know that you aren't guilty for what happened," Kaoru said. To him the message was obvious but what else can he do? Smile for no reason and have everything pinned on him? "So maybe you should stop crying..."

"But... It's my fault! It has to be! Nobody but me could've done it!" Eleanor cried.

"Eleanor, get a hold of yourself!" Kazuto pleaded.

"Kazu-chan...," Eleanor starting crying. "Aki-chan is dead..."

"El...lie..." Kazuto said. "Don't... shut up! Shut up! Don't remind me please! He's dead...! Don't remind me of it!"

Kazuto broke down. He started to cry as well, not giving a damn that everybody is watching.

"Aki-chan... I couldn't protect you...!" Kazuto cried. "I'm so stupid... so weak!"

"Aki-chan! I didn't love you enough... I'm sorry!" Eleanor said. "I'm so stupid! I knew you loved me and yet I pushed you away!"

"Stop it!" Haruna said. "I can't take this anymore!"

"Everybody calm down!" Kazue yelled. "Please let's just stay calm..."

Nobody bothered to listen, instead they chose to just panic. Haruna was holding onto Yume like a scared little girl holding her mother's hand, Kazuto and Eleanor were breaking down, and Ryuusei...

"I... I don't want to die... What did I ever do to deserve this!?" Ryuusei said.

"Come on Ryuusei... you won't die!" Kazue smiled happily. "Just try to think happy thoughts... Please?"

"Why are you so happy huh!?" Ryuusei said. "You're probably happy because you know what everybody's thinking! No one would suspect you because you're so calm! I bet that's all an act and that you're really the killer!"

"N-no that's not-"

"They why did you stutter!?" Ryuusei accused. "Probably scared because you got caught!"

"Stop it Ryuusei!" Yume yelled.

"You know she did it! Or was it you Super High School Level Assassin!" Ryuusei backed up. "That's right... it's your job to kill so you probably did it!"

Yume held onto Haruna. She knew she was going to be blamed for someone's murder eventually because of her Level. It was annoying, to be blamed for something in the past. To be blamed at all really. Yume was ready to say something but then Haruna stood up.

"Don't blame Yume-chan for something she didn't do!" Haruna said. "Think about it... You're blaming her for being an assassin and although I don't like murder think about what she's done for the world by getting rid of people who want to do bad things to it!"

"What kind of thinking is that!? Killing bad people just because they did something bad isn't a good thing!"

"Oh so what? Like you weren't thinking that," Nathaniel said.

Ryuusei, Haruna and Yume looked at the usually quiet girl with surprise. She wasn't looking like herself. She was angry they can all tell, a face of a wild animal.

"I'm tired of this. I'm tired of all this. I don't want to suffer and die either! Do you think this is a good time to be a hypocrite!? Huh!?" Nathaniel stepped forward. "Stop thinking that you're the only one scared right now and face reality. We're all scared. The way he died... Do you think any of us want to experience that!? If you do they you're fucking crazy!"

Nathaniel then ran off.

"She's right," Krori said. "I'm leaving."

Krori walked out, following Nathaniel.

"I figured this much," Sango whispered to herself. "Everybody is suffering. I knew it. If the death wasn't so brutal we could've resolved this but... The way he died... Nobody could get over that."

Sango continued to write in her notebook. Kaoru... I still find him suspicious, she thought as she stared at him. A face full of lies, that was her opinion.

"Everybody..." Kazue said. "Please... No more... crying..."

Kazue fell to the ground. "I don't want you all to cry... Nobody should have to suffer like this!"

She started joining everybody crying. The tears felt hot on her cold cheeks. She was like everybody else, she didn't like to suffer. She had enough of it, other people in pain. When they were in pain she was too, she felt it and carried it like a burden because that's all it was.

Ryo had his fingers go through his hair as he began to bite his lip.

"Reika...!" Ryo said. "I'm just not good enough as a big brother am I?"

He then hugged Kazue.

"Don't cry," he said. "I'll take care of you... All of you!"

Norito and Mouri were both silent through the whole ordeal. In the end they accepted it. They accepted the fact that they couldn't do a thing.

Paars was on top of his tower, sitting on Jun's lap as he watched everything unfold in his room. His snacks laid messy on Jun's body from his chips to his picky and even the frosting from the cake Paars ate of him. Paars had the sadistic smile on him. He felt thrilled by the way they suffered, almost turned on. The results being better than he expected.

Just then his friend came into the room with Monobear in tow.

"Caius..." Paars said. "I thought you were sleeping."

"I can't sleep Paars..." Caius said. "The ring has appeared on my chest."

Paars stared at his friend with wide eyes. He knew what that ring ment and now he was scared. His lust quickly turned into sorrow then regret and then finally anger.

"Don't worry!" Paars said. "Not yet."

Paars jumped off of Jun and went to the window. He opened it and jumped down that seven story building with Norito in mind.

Author's Note: Fail chapter is fail... But anyway, I wanted to have a chapter where the characters were suffering badly from Psych's death. I didn't like how in Dangan Ronpa the reactions weren't all that severe and everybody quickly got over it... The investigation was supposed to happen after this but this scene dragged on too long so I made it into a whole chapter. I'm having Finals next week so I hope I can update by tomorrow...
