Man's Greatest Ambition.
Such a lofty title for such a crass course of action.
Now, Naegi hardly considered himself a prude. He was like any high schooler, he had urges. And part of him did find Monokuma's suggestion tempting. Asahina was a knock-out by any definition. Oogami had a unique appeal all her own. And Celes' gothic vibe gave her an exotic flavor.
But none of that was really important, because Kirigiri was part of the equation. The phrase "she has a great personality" was no indictment to her looks. If anything, it helped to accentuate them. The cold, aloof attitude was beautifully coupled with an air of both mystery and elegance that was goddamn stunning in Naegi's mind.
And to think, she was in a state of undress less than 10 feet away from him.
But the possibility of getting caught was all too real. Oogami could easily crush him like a grape, but that was nothing compared to what Kirigiri could do. A single glare from her could destroy a person's soul. He'd seen it happen to both Kuwata and Oowada during the last two trials. Being on the receiving end of one of those was not something to be sought out.
Still, if he could see it, and get away with it...
No! It's no different from plotting a murder, right? Planning a crime and hoping to avoid the consequences? All for a completely selfish reward?
But her long, lavender hair. Soaked and falling freely down her back...
"So... what will you do?"
Monokuma's question hung in the air like the Sword of Damocles. Naegi was a better person than this. He had more respect for women. His mother had seen to that. The idea of peeping on someone he considered his friend. His beautiful, intelligent, irresistibly attractive friend who defended him when no one else had any faith in him...
"Okay, let's do it!"
Goddamn it, he was weak.
