TIME: Morning

BGM: Ikoroshia

"So you're telling me you're from the future?" Ughh...This is gonna be worse than when Kan asked me. That guy at least looked like couldn't hold a book for more than twenty seconds, and yet had the audacity to be completely focused only at that one line. I swear to whatever's out there to just take me back after this joke.

"No, for the second time, i'm not. I don't have flying cars where I live in, there's no cool high tech other then a printer and some holographic screens, and I absolutely am not an amnesiac who thinks they're a pirate. I'm a student like you who's gonna attend Hope's Peak for the 130th class. I'm no time traveler either. I just landed here after some robots were taking me here. If this is for some kind of think that I robbed you off, then I guess i'm sorry for it, but can you please take me outside? I'd like to go back to the sea again." After that mouthful, I had my eyes scrunched up to have an annoyed appearance on display. Clearly, he's not in the mood as well. He had his back supported by the wall.

"You do realize that this is, I don't know, 1967? As in, the 35th, right? There is no way someone like you would even dress up like that, ya know? Now tell me, your name." Demanding, huh? Why didn't you give me your name when I nicely asked you. It was already rude enough when you decided to come into this side anyway with that disgust look on your face, why the hell did you have to show of a pair of scissors when you wanted to cut off my beautiful red hair! It took some time to even make it into a ponytail goddammit!

BGM: Pause

"I could be a bit more nicer if you just told me it, but if that's how you wanna play, I'd guess i'd have to donate those pretty locks to a bald man. " Cornering me, he made me tried to step on one of those white tiles. I'd guess he really didn't wanted to cut my hair, but nonetheless, he's getting mad.

BGM: Mr. Monokuma Tutoring

"A-Ayumu Saru-er watari..." It be best to just hide my name for now. Who knows, maybe he really is nice.

"That is total bullshit. But I got a name at least now." Well, there goes his offer. That and well, the scissors. He seems more friendly.

"It's Bara, that is how you make a nickname, got it?" I-I'm not even going to jynx anything else anymore...

"Okay, fine...! It's-"

...

...

Did he just place his fingers in my lips?

"Hush. A good mystery is better when not spoken of." Just like that, both his short, messy, dark burgundy hair flopped down to a side, and his Hazel eyes we being back to their normal selves. It's pretty weird that he had big eyes, but I guess in Japan, everybody does. And here I thought I actually came here to visit someone one who wanted me to learn more about to accept the culture here instead, not bring more stereotypical biases to this country.

This guy really likes to be some type of bully! Man, even with his shorter height, he sure doesn't bark softly. Maybe he's some psycho serial killer like Genocider Syo who was enrolled for the 78th year! That would explain how much he's immitating her aura. Maybe he's a-

What's up with all these interruptions! Sheesh! Can't think for one second, can I?

After getting pushed by Bara, I landed onto some of the tiles, before being pulled up shortly afterwards.

"Seriously! Why the heck are you doing this-don't touch me there you stupid bots!-you know what Shiori said!" I'd thought it was cool for us to do it! I didn't thought we-d

Oh for crying out loud! Is he going to...?!

And with a small jump he landed in another individual white tile, where two more rabbits appeared. Out of every other just as good enough time, did he really had to try to test it now?!

And with that, me and him got handcuffs in our wrists. And was forced into our room. And just like what he thought would happen, our cuffs just dropped down. Or at least he did, and the rabbits just left the door open to, well, open. The option for me to get out seemed better than staying in this barren house, but even so, there'd be no telling if he'd-

Goddammit! Stop it already! I had enough with all these cuts when people just do things when i'm trying to rationalize the events that just occurred!

With that in mind, 'Bara' just waltzed into my room and showing off his non-restrained to me, possibly just to make fun of me. With a small smirk, he got close to me and decided to do what i'd thought he do.

BGM: Junk for the Dashing Youth

"God no... S-Stay away from me!" I tried to go into the place where there was a bed and a door, but he easily passed me there.

"Aww...it'd be an injustice if that face didn't get prettied up. It would only take a second. Out of his pockets, he nabbed some mascara from his black trousers. It'd ruin the image I had! Not only that, but it looks like he rose his shark mouthed mask as if to signal he's at work!

"N-NO! I'M NOT SOME MODEL! I'M A PIRATE! I'D RATHER BE DEAD AND TOSSED TO DAVY JONES LOCKER THAN TO-SWEET GOD!" And with that, he reached to my eyelashes, and made a quick strike to it, making my eyes look like the black raincoat that he had. With a kick, she tried to knock him off the floor, but unless she was right, she never knew that being a cosmetologist meant that they had some sort of secret ninja training in order to avoid every blow I was trying to give. A sword would have easily ended this fight! But with a place that had swords all over the place lying down, there'd be no way she could fight back. It was easy to say that I have given up.

With some views of his pastel yellow shirt at times and slanky body, it was safe to say that I ended up in a chair after all of this.

It was about some minutes before I was finally told to stand up. As I feared, the first thing I realized after looking at the blue hand-mirror was that my once normal tanned skin was suddenly more perky like. This girlish thing...! It looks nothing like something an adventurer like me would look like. Not only did my face looked bad, but even what I wore looked bad. My red jacket that had a breezy white shirt like the winds of the sails...my black knee-length skirt with brown flats and trainer socks...I looked like a fuckin' cosplayer now!

BGM: Beautiful Morning

"Now let's go see Shiori, she'd probably be in her room waiting for us." And with that, he held the door out for me. Oh, like it was better for me to go handcuffed and like a whore than to me being awesome and spirited.

It was pretty much a silent rendezvous for us before we found Shiori's room. With a small knock from Bara, you could hear tiny footsteps being made, until the sound stopped and stuttered some words out.

"U-um, is it the two of you? I-uh, can't allow any of the two of you in right now..." A delicate voice was being heard from behind the door. This one belonged to none other than the SDHSL witch. She really isn't much of a talker, but she really was one of the more sweeter people in this building. If anything, it wouldn't be difficult to see her try to feel more social, even if it wasn't her specialty.

"Don't worry Shiori, we won't disturb you, we just want to see how she's doing." Bara was waaaaay much softer to Shiori then with me. Damn, what did I do?!

"And don't worry, I made sure she got handcuffed this time." What! Is that is? Just cause I touched her stuff and all and made her lose her focus?!

...

...I'm actually pretty terrible to her now that I mention it.

With a small sigh that could have been heard if you were paying close attention, the door was opened and we were quickly greeted to a hooded figure. With barely visible black hair having two ponytails, she looked like she was in deep concentration. Her small body and light skin body showed little bit as to how she looked like. And just after that, Bara suddenly lifted her hood, earning both a gasp from my mouth and a small squeak from Shiori. What the hell?! Didn't he just said he wasn't going to disturb her?!

BGM: Paused

"Don't wear that in public. When you have company, you have to be hospitable. Don't worry though, you're barely learning." With that, Bara gave a small smile to Shiori, who was blushing a lot.

BGM: Beautiful Days

"I-I forgot...sorry...i'll try to remember that later." And with that, she could be seen looking at the ground twisting her left foot back and forth. What she had under the hood can now be seen, which happened to be the first time just now. She had an adorable white strapless dress with some purple ribbons that made the dress look even cuter by having them at the sides. There was a silver necklace that had an amethyst pendant that glowed brightly for some reason. In the middle of it all was a beige linen bag. Her now visible eyes could be seen bearing a sense of dreamless aura and melancholy. Ribbons can now be seen with her ponytails, and could now even see how one of the front stands had nothing more than colorful pearls and threads. Seriously, that black hoodie really was blocking out something so frail.

"Umm...if you want to...you could see her for about a few minutes..." With that, she stepped out ad offer us to go inside. Following behind Bara, it wasn't something that was something I wanted to visit, but with how things are going, we still don't know how a person like that girl still unconscious. It's been a week, and already, it felt like there was no recovery from that girl.

BGM: Beautiful Ruin

Up close, you could see her entire body was being covered up by countless scribbles that made no sense to me.

"It still isn't something that should have worked by now, but at least she was now starting to lose all the injuries she has." With a small whisper, those same scribbles started to glow a slight colored purple. Who's to say that this really is magic? I dunno, but the lighting and the spiraling of those things were kinda of neat.

"Ayumu, we should go to the guest bedroom now. Even you being handcuffed wouldn't stop your running mouth." As sorry as I was with what I did to Saiori, there's no way in hell would I even dare think of Bara as anywhere near right! But even before I could say anything else, I was pushed by him like one of those rabbits again.

"!" It was more of a sound that was angered and surprised, but as a promise, we had to make sure we didn't disturbed her.

When we entered into the guest room, we saw Shinobu standing up, with a serious display on his face. Did he really had to drop the nicer appearance after a seemingly nice conversation?

BGM: Distrust

"Close the door. I don't want her to hear anything that were about to do." Just like that, Bara closed the door with a small push. It locked in place after that.

"So, I guess no more fooling around, huh?" So this time he decided to make fun of me?! I need your help not your taunts!

"H-Hey! I said I was sorry for like, the millionth time, so can bygones be bygones and just get on with the fact that my back itches like fuck! Unless if you want to volunteer, then I suggest you fall into some panels right now!" With that, I was only met by some chuckles from him, before he decided to scratch my bac-

BGM: Paused

MOTHERFUCKER! I SAID SCRATCH MY BACK, NOT DO THAT WEIRD FINGER THING!

BGM: Love is Survival

And just like that, he was dealt with a harsh blow in the stomach. He was wheezing a bit after that, catching his breath, but stood up again. An actual smile was on his face this time.

"D-Don't worry, pretty sure that it wasn't something that terrible. It was just a small punishment. You seem really sensitive when my fingers touch your back." Shinobu was now behind Bara, the super secret admirer of ninja training, as some type of meat shield. Basically, just like before, he'd just dodge every strike I'd give. I had to admit though, it was better seeing the guy fool around then to be serious like all the time. After all of that, he went back in front of me and decided to speak about, well, whatever it is.

"As of you know, we need to make sure that this girl does not see us after she wakes up." Was that Ken's voice now? I didn't even knew he was here. Seriously, is this a sausage fest here? I guess he still has those blue headphones stuck to his ears now. It was actually plugged into nothing, so I wonder why he even has it in the first place? Either way, he had his blue windbreaker that matched the headphones a lot, and because how tanned he was, I guess it was an okay choice. His tanned face had blonde hair that could only be described as short. Well, 'cause it was a crew cut and all. Hey, is he going for tacky khaki shorts now? I'm sure he used to have blue jeans than what he was wearing right now. To end it all, he had similar combat boots just like Shinobu, just without the metal. Now that I think about it, I guess if it wasn't for his outgoing and positive personality, he'd probably would have kicked me real hard with those metal pointed boots! Shit...I wonder if he'll do that eventually...

"You're talking about red eyes, right? The one who looks like Lundenberg, right?" Swear to god, my name just had to be similar like hers. That's total BS!

"Er, yes. If you're talking about the girl with the Sextant, then yes. We need to make sure she doesn't see us when she wakes up. If she did, it would ruin the healing that Saiori is planning to do." With that, I remembered a while ago with what she said earlier.

Flashback

BGM: Beautiful Ruin (16-bit)

"The medicine isn't working for her. It will not work until she goes outside." With her hood on, Saiori stood up from her kneeling position.

"Then what do you suppose we do, Saiori? If what you said about earlier to me is true, then wouldn't you be unconscious for some time yourself?

"...The problem isn't her waking up...I could easily make her awake. But to make her stay awake, she has to get out of the building. She needs the essence of nature for it to work." With that Saiori went to Shinobu and to the silent guy I had for a companion.

"If you can, mind if you don't let her see you if you do?" With a small gasp, everybody but Saiori was surprised with the idea of letting her be alone!

"W-why? There is no reason for her to be alone during all of that." Shinobu had a slight angered expression for Saiori for suggesting an idea like that.

"Sorry. If I didn't explain enough, i'm trying to make her stand on her own feet. It be already tiring for me to just make herself stay awake. It's the only way that I can do it for now, since most of the other methods require a family member's tears, some personnel on them that they wouldn't mind to get destroyed, or just some fruit. Getting outside is the only way that I can think of that is available right now.

"How about we just ask for fruit? It's not like they haven't brought fruit to begin with. If anything, that's what we are all getting! Why don't we use that?" Ken seemed like he was questioning if the SDHSL witch was too exhausted to even remember that.

"Well, I was hoping they would give us anything with no seeds on it, but by what they keep giving, those rabbits only bring strawberries, oranges, apples, grapes, watermelon slices, mangoes, and ect. But not even one seedless fruit was ever given to us. With the seed, it only makes her conscious, but her body would be stiff. Basically, paralyzed. With a seedless one that was only collected just recently however, would mean that the earth's connection to it is still present and potent enough for her to get up. Every day, I tried to see if any of the fruit really did have that, but no, it seems like none of them reach those requirements." She looked to the side, a little disappointed with how she hasn't managed to find any of those.

"Man. That's messed up. If it means so much for her to not to see us, mind if you tell us why we have to do that in the first place?" It was my turn to ask the question, and with a small sigh from her, she was twirling a bit of her hair.

"As I said, i'm trying to make her stand on her own feet. As such, the moment she meets anybody else that is conscious would share the same problem she has. I...It would leave me entirely exhausted, and in the end, she too would be exhausted. With not any other alternative, anybody who met her, herself, and I would only make it worse if we met her. I take about an entire day to just recuperate from doing something that would require a lot from me. I-I wish that it was only because of one person, rather than multiple people. It sounds cruel, but really, its the only safest method for everybody present. Something tells me she will take some time doing so, but she'll make it one day."

"Are you sure there is nothing else you can do?" With that, Bara had his arms layered up with one another.

"I really wish there was. But for now this is all I can do. I will wake her up each time its night, and I will sleep after that until I can no longer feel her presence here. If anything, I hope that does occur. If I can't feel her in some point, that meant she's far away to where I am." With that Shiori removed the cloak that she was wearing.

BGM: All All Apologies (16-bit)

"It might be scary for her, but she'll make it. She might know some more things if she made it all the way through. Not only that, but she might tell us how outside looks like. Maybe there might even be more people outside. I just hope that nothing out there is unlike what I said." Shiori looked down, possibly a little disturbed with how there might be a lot more possibilities out there that she might think could happen to the girl.

"I'm sorry if i'm useless."

I kicked the floor with my feet, dissapointed to see that nobody else thought to say anything else to her. Assholes...I'm an asshole.

BGM: Paused

There was nothing else much important after that. It was pretty much just us leaving and me going to my room again.

Now where were we?

BGM: Alter Ego of the New World

"So. What do you want us to do? Do we just wait in our rooms or something?" Bara didn't seem to agree with that.

"No. That doesn't mean that. There's no purpose to begin with. However, we can't be spotted. We'll see if we can try to get out ourselves out first. It be pretty difficult for her to do it alone entirely. If she just woke up by herself, she wouldn't even know if there are people here. The first thing she would do is look around to our rooms. As such, when the time arrives, we will have to force ourselves to get captured by the white rabbits and get them to lock the doors. Until then, we should just make sure it it's even possible to do it." Ken responded, keeping that serious expression from earlier before.

"Then I guess until then, we should be heading out. Who know's. There could be something out there that could even help us." Bara spoke, if a bit more intrigued with his questioning.

"Well, that's nice and all, but can I fall flat now? I really want to get uncufed if it means to go down the hidden stairs." It was really swell and all to actually the place, but seriously, it's not like I want to do this with no use of my hands.

"You had semi-good behaviour, keep that up, and you'll be okay." Bara, you bastard...! If only you could get hit...!

"Well, i'll guess that if we you are going to do that, someone has to stay here. I guess it be me for now. If there's anybody else there, it also be better to leave them alone."Shinobu looked a little crestfallen, and just why would he say that?

"...You're afraid it's today...If anybody comes, they might want to see who's here, leading them all to believe that there might be an explanation..." Ken looked at him, with the same expression as him.

"Yeah...that's right. If Shiori wants to do it today, then we have to make sure they get to there doors. If there is nobody here though, then I guess it wouldn't really mater. The other reason is that I should stay, just in case if Shiori needs any help or something..." And with that, he had his hand pointing at the door behind us.

"I get it, you don't have to tell us twice." Ken left, and soon after all of us did.

BGM: Welcome to Despair Academy

Maybe, just maybe...there might be a chance for her to leave here. And of course, that would risk the safety of the others who would come in next. It was by pure chance that she was taken out of her room for some reason. If anything, if it wasn't for Shiori, we would have never knew that somebody else got here. Bara just pushed her away to land on some multiple tiles, and got handcuffed. That was when we entered to get her and bring it to Shiori.

It sucks. It really sucks. But if anything, it's possible that anybody else would be just like us, and be okay. We just hope that it was just her. If she's awake, i'll be the first to befriend her.

But hey, I guess it's time to leave. Bara can't be that much of an asshole...
