I think this one is slightly longer

I do not own Danganronpa

Enjoy!

"Akane, if you don't wake up soon, I'll stop doing IT to you! But you'll have to share IT when you wake up. IT helps everyone with their aches and pains."

"But that's no reason not to use IT as a motivation for waking up as soon as possible! And, remember, the sooner you wake up, the sooner you can get back to training and recovering your strength! You'll have to train hard to beat me! I won't hold back!" Nekomuaru burst into loud laughter. It faded just as quickly as it started.

"It's shameful to think that I allowed one of my athletes to be taken out by that awful despair-obsessed lunatic. Especially when I know I could have done something. I know I could have saved you. But I did nothing. What kind of team manager am I?"

"Especially… Especially…" Nekomaru paused. This was the one thing he had never been able to say to his athlete. Not in the simulation before she died. Not in the simulation after she died. Not after he first saw her asleep in the pod. And still not now.

He had never had trouble talking about anything. But he couldn't say something so simple to someone who meant so much to him.

He had become a team manager because he wanted to be able to support his athletes. He was supposed to help them achieve their dreams. They were more important than he was. What was a team manager without their athlete?

What was Nekomaru Nidai without Akane Owari?

"What kind of person does it make me?"

"Please wake up soon Akane. I miss you. I know you're strong."

'And I love that about you.'

"I have complete faith that you can wake up! I have complete faith in you!"

"Come back soon… please…"

Nekomaru looked over her pod. She looked simultaneously stronger and weaker than she had in the simulation.

He could only hope that her body would react well to the amount of time spent in the pod. Better than Nagito's had at least.

Nekomaru turned to the door. Akane's pod was the closest pod to it. He pushed the door open.

"Your turn Peko."

It's not longer, is it?

Sorry...

Please please review!
