Everyone all got off their podiums, and there was silence in the group. We all knew what had just happened. Reika... Reika killed Jutaro. She took a life.
"And... you got it right!" Monokuma said. "Yepyepyep! Reika Kurosawa murdered Jutaro Harada! How sad!"
Reika was silent. Eunji looked at her. "Why?"
The stylist was still quiet. Takashi sighed. "You have to tell us why."
"...ugh." Reika groaned. "Jutaro kept on talking about how nobody was going to come help us and shit. It got to me."
"That doesn't mean you have to kill him!" Eunji yelled.
"Maybe so.." Reika remarked. "All I knew is that he was right, nobody was going to come help us. At least, help all of you. I got sick of being in this damned place! So... Monokuma wanted us to commit a murder to leave... then a murder I'll commit to leave."
"R-Rei-chan.." Ayaka said. "H-How could you do something so horrible?"
"Listen, I'm a stylist." Reika replied. "I have so much to look forward, no way in hell was I going to waste my talent trapped inside some shitty school. I NEEDED to get out of here."
"L-Listen, I'm a K-Idol too, and I have a future to look forward to." Eunji said. "You just had to wait a little longer, and I'm sure we all could have escape."
"No, that delusion isn't working." Reika said. "Look, I didn't WANT to kill him... but I HAD to, for my career."
"...Jesus christ." Seungyeon said. "T-Then why the FUCK did you try to frame me?"
"Some actress fucked me over." Reika replied. "Figured all you were the same."
"That's just sad." Seungyeon remarked.
"...And you knew." Eunji said. "You knew that if once you killed Jutaro, you'd have to kill all of us."
"A small price to pay." Reika replied. "Look, I was going to do a lot, ya know? So much shit.."
"Dammit, Reika." Naomori said. "You shouldn't have done this."
"Not like it matters much, anyways." Reika remarked. "Sucks."
We all stood there in silence. Reika... really killed Jutaro just to escape? How selfish..!
"You took a life you bitch!" Seungyeon said. "Of course that matters! Jutaro was our friend!"
"Friend used loosely." Reika replied. "I didn't like the guy. After the initial shock was gone, it was pretty easy covering up what I did."
"You're awful." Eunji said.
"Oh please." Reika said. "Eunji, you're stuck in some bliss delusion in which you think we're all going to escape and make happy rainbow fun times. But once you realize of our situation... you're going to do the same exact thing I did."
"N-No I won't!" Eunji replied.
"We're all capable of murder, Eunji." Reika remarked.
"Fuck you, Reika." Seungyeon said.
"Mmhmm, you too babe." Reika replied.
"...so..." Takashi said. "Is that all you have to say for yourself?"
Reika nodded. "I don't see anything else I have to say. I told you my reasons for why I did what I did."
"Okay, well then!" Monokuma said. "You know what time it is!?"
"...huh?" Reika said. "W-Wait, you're...?"
"Oh, come on!" Monokuma remarked. "Did you really believe me? The robot bear!"
"But we had a deal!" Reika yelled. "I killed Jutaro, your biggest threat, and you would let me walk home free, no matter the outcome!"
"Pfftt!" Monokuma laughed. "Ahahahaha! That's so funny! YOU REALLY BELIEVED ME!"
"W-What the FUCK!?" Reika yelled. "Y-You asshole!"
"Oh man, that's hilarious!" Monokuma replied. "Okay, well.. now that all laughs have been had."
"It's time for your punishment." Monokuma coldly stated.
All of us stood there in shock. What the hell?
"W-What the fuck?" Masahito said.
"B-But.." Reika said. "I did you a favor, dammit!"
"Meh, who cares?" Monokuma replied. "These kids really need to realize what's going on, so I'm sure you'll be a great example for the truth of their situation."
"N-No!" Reika said. "We HAD A DEAL!"
"Now then, I've prepared a VERY special punishment for Reika Kurosawa, the Ultimate Stylist!" Monokuma said.
"M-M.." Reika fell silent. "MONOKUMMAAA!"
"Let's give it everything we've got! IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!" Monokuma announced.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Reika screamed.
…
GAME OVER
REIKA HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY
TIME FOR THE PUNISHMENT
….
Reika stood there nervously, as all the other students slowly started to back away.
Suddenly, a collar with a chain came out of nowhere, and slowly locked onto Reika's neck.
The girl looked horrified, and was suddenly pulled away into another separate room.
STYLIN' UP!
Reika Kurosawa: Ultimate Stylist Execution: Executed
The room was a white room, decorated with multiple big clothes racks.
The chain stopped as Reika was put up on one of the poles in the clothes racks, her entire body getting trapped by straps tightening around her.
Reika couldn't move anything, and just panickedly looked around the room.
Next thing she knew, a Monokuma appeared, holding a clothing hanger made entirely out of wires.
She stared as the Monokuma slowly started moving towards.
Before she knew it, more Monokumas holding the exactly same hanger made out of wires started to completely surround her.
It was about 20 Monokumas, and right when they stood in front of her, they stopped.
And then... one hit her on the leg with it.
She yelped in pain as the wires cut her leg.
Then... another Monokuma cut her.
Then another. And another. And another. And another.
Multiple Monokumas started to cut Reika's body with the wired clothing hangers, leaving cut marks all over her body.
And then more joined the fray, still cutting her up with the wires.
And then more...
And more...
And more...
More...
….
Eventually, the room door opened, allowing the students access in.
Inside was a horrifying sight.
Still strapped onto the clothing rack, was the now lifeless body of Reika Kurosawa. Her arms and legs were completely limp, and her hair was completely covering her face.
All over her body were cut marks, blood still pouring out of them.
A Monokuma popped in and took Reika's scarf away from her corpse, replacing her scarf with a Monokuma scarf.
The surviving 14 students entered the room, and all of them stood there in horror.
…..
"R-Reika..." Ayaka cried, tears starting to form in her eyes.
"W-What the FUCK!?" Masahito said.
"See?" Monokuma said. "Isn't that just exciting!?"
"T-This.." Eunji closed her eyes.
Reika... You acted awful in your last moments of your life, but I understand why. You were just a normal girl, living her life and doing her job, and then suddenly you were put into this awful situation. Some people crack, and they crack hard. I'm sorry this happened to you.
And Jutaro... same with you. You had a passion for hypnotism that even I could understand. I'm sorry this happened to you too.
Both of you... I hope, that where you end up, you find peace.
"Well then!" Monokuma said. "That took the life out of me! Oh, well more like, it took the life out of Reika!"
"W-What the FUCK!?" Kazuhiko said. "You fucking asshole!"
"Yeah yeah, be emotional, whatever." Monokuma remarked. "I'm out! PEACE!"
Monokuma disappeared.
All 14 of us just stood there. Some of us cried, some of us just standing there in shocked silence... and some of us were angry.
"Dammit!" Miyumi yelled. "I should have tried harder! I should have looked harder! T-Then maybe... we could have been out of here."
"...I thought the same too." Takashi said. "But now... Jutaro and Reika are dead. And now we just... have to move on."
"H-How the hell can we do that!?" Masahito said. "THEY'RE DEAD! W-We're just supposed to forget them?"
"Not forget them." Takashi said. "We should use their memory to motive us to find a way to end this killing game."
"Takashi's right." Miyumi said. "Let's... just all go back to sleep."
"If we can.." Yeeun remarked.
Eventually, we all departed the class trial area.
…
Eunji returned to her room, and just lied.
Jutaro and Reika... just yesterday you two were alive, and laughing and having a good time.
God... why did this happen?
A knock on Eunji's door broke her train of thought, so she got up and answered it. Behind it was Miyumi.
"Hey, can I come in?" Miyumi asked.
Eunji nodded. The detective walked in, taking a seat on the chair in front of Eunji's bed.
"I..." Miyumi said. "Like I said earlier, I'll be here for you every step of the way."
"..okay, Miyumi." Eunji replied. "Thank you."
"It's up to us two, Eunji." Miyumi replied. "We need to end this killing game, before any more of us dies."
"Yes, I want to do that." Eunji replied.
"Okay." Miyumi said. "Well... get some sleep. Tommorow, we'll think of something."
"Yes, okay." Eunji said.
Miyumi left the room, and I lied back down. I lied there in silence, using my blankets to completely cover me.
Monokuma and his group... they won't get away with this.
I won't let them.
