Chapter 6: Truth of the Aftermath
Court Room
"Buh-Buh-Why did you kill Monodam, Monokid?" Monophanie stuttered.
"Fuck the police, that's why" Monokid said while rifting on his guitar.
"I actually approve this action" Monosuke hummed, "Maybe we can make a betting pool on which one of us will die next."
"Why would you say such horrible things?" Monophanie rebuked.
"Um...who's Monodam again?" Monotaro asked.
"Really? You can't remember your own sibling?" Monosuke questioned, "You're really are a dumbass."
"It brings me great joy to see my kubs like this~" Monokuma gleefully said, "To think they would even kill each other pufufufu."
Nobody was really paying attention to spectacle above us, as we're deep in our grief.
"This is so unfair" Himiko whined.
"This is some bullshit" Kaito cursed.
"May Atua guide Shuichi's soul to the afterlife, amen" Angie prayed.
"How the fuck is he supposed to rest in peace after that?" I shouted as I wiped my mouth.
"Miu..." Kaede said as she laid her hand on my shoulder. Instinctively, I swatted my hand away.
"Leave me alone, you titless goodie two shoe" I yelled, "Leave me the fuck alone."
I had to get out of here, the atmosphere was suffocating me. So I stormed off to my lab.
I sat down and cried into my work bench. How did everything go so wrong?
Knock, Knock
"What part of leave me alone don't you understand?" I shouted.
"Ah, sorry" Tsumugi apologized, "You just kind of left suddenly and I was concerned..."
Concerned? About how I am going completely off script? I doubt Tsumugi really cares about my feelings. But it's too dangerous to press her at the moment, so I have to play along.
"My actions got two people killed" I cried, "It's too much to digest, so I need to be alone."
"Okay" Tsumugi replied before I heard her leaving. I can't trust her at all, she's the mastermind. Then I recall an important aspect of the game and bit my lip. Certainly she could use that to mess with me, driving me to insanity.
I take a breath before spotting on my long term project I'm making for Keebo. Internally, I felt the urge to rush the project...as a way to decompress from today's events.
I breathed once more. I might still have my memories as Catherine McHall, but I'm still Miu Iruma...the Ultimate Inventor.
Yes, I remember now. Setbacks are the price of progress, so I must press forward. For myself...and for those who remain. Before I knew it, I work until I passed out in my lab.
Next Morning
"Ugh...what time is it?" I yawned. According to the clock, it was 12pm.
Knock, Knock
"Come in" I said aloud.
"Ah, so you're alive" Keebo sighed as he entered the lab.
"I wish I wasn't to be honest" I clicked, "The guilt of Gonta and Shuichi's death is suffocating."
"You made a mistake, yes" Keebo confirmed, "But you must move forward and learn from your mistakes."
"You're not wrong" I sighed, "But it isn't fair."
"This game isn't fair" Keebo admitted, "That's why we must strive to escape from this place."
"I'm glad you're still optimistic" I sadly smile, "Did you really think I was killed?"
"Well...no" Keebo sheepishly admitted, "But you missed breakfast and weren't in your dormitory."
"Ah, well I was working on one of my bigger projects" I sheepishly laughed, "I made some serious progress, do you wish to see?"
"Oh, sure" Keebo answered. I lead Keebo to my giant work bench.
"This is my ultimate masterpiece for you" I exclaimed, "An improved prosthetic human body, which is capable of experiencing humanity at it's fullest. Model A1-K0, or simply known as Aiko. I've completed the skeleton structure and nerves, working on the synthetic muscle and fat exterior is next."
"I see" Keebo hummed before noticing around the chest area, "Hmm, what is this?" His hand rubbed the synthetic muscle and fat, noting how they moved.
"OH!" I exclaimed as my face grew red, "Those are...um... fake tits..."
A moment of silence lingered in the air before Keebo spoke up.
"Ah...so Aiko is a girl's name" Keebo sheepishly stated, "So this body is...female?"
"I...um...may have used my own body as a blueprint" I mumbled, "I'm sorry, but I don't know how to make a realistic male body to the fullest extent."
"What...do you mean by that statement?" Keebo pondered.
"Human intimacy..." I admitted, "That's the peak of what it means to be human."
"I'm...not sure if I follow" Keebo replied.
"You know...sex." I coughed.
"..." Keebo whispered, "You want me to experience sex?"
"Well...yes" I poked my fingers, "I was hoping you would help alleviate a problem of mine..."
"Which involves sex?" Keebo blinked. His cheeks seem to reddened at the revelation.
"My libido runs excessively and I...uh...have to relieve it every so often" I blushed.
"I see" Keebo said, "So you're asking me to help...remedy this problem? And why a female body?"
"I'm attracted to women" I bluntly stated, "Hence why this body is female. You also have the added bonus of being an AI, which intrigues me as an inventor."
"I...see" Keebo replied.
"I mean, you don't have to do this if you don't want to" I scrambled, "I can keep things professional and just work on the body you already have."
"No, no" Keebo lightly chuckled, "I want to know everything it means to be human, so if that means jumping into uncharted territories then so be it."
"Thank you Keebo" I said as I moved to hug him, "I should have the body complete in a week, then we can begin the testing phase."
"Alright" Keebo smiled, "By the way, at the morning breakfast Angie and Himiko announced they plan to hold a magic show in a few days."
Oh right...we're moving onto chapter two of this story. My face paled, knowing we were without Shuichi to solve the next murder. That was key into figuring that Kirumi Tojo was the culprit in original canon.
"Hey, are you alright?" Keebo asked.
"Was thinking about Shuichi" I sighed, "Mourning is a taxing experience."
"Ah" Keebo frowned.
"I am going to get some grub and take a shower" I changed the subject, "See you later, okay?"
"Yeah, sure" Keebo bowed, "I do hope things get better for you, Miu."
"Thanks" I bowed before I left my lab and headed to the dining hall.
Remember, setbacks are the price of progress.
