Chapter 2: Dead Girl Walking
A young woman sits confined in a small prison cell handcuffed counting down the seconds until her execution. She has been charged with committing crimes against humanity. Her name is Ai Wakahisa, and she isn't a day over twenty-one. She, along with many others, was responsible for the destruction of civilizations, while their mascot Monokuma cheered them on.
The world that we took for granted was poisoned with despair. Every man, woman, and child had fallen victim to the uncontrollable, maddening, and addictive trance. But, where there is darkness there will always be light. An organization filled with hope, 'The Future Foundation', had fought to bring the world to life. More people were joining their ranks every day, even people who had once been soldiers of despair.
Ai was one of the only left who refused to be purified with hope. The leaders of the Future Foundation had met to determine her fate. They saw no intention of reform in her eyes, so for the benefit of mankind she was sentenced to death. She gladly accepted it. She'd rather die than give up her beautiful illusions of despair.
But, despite her resolve to die for her cause, something inside her wanted to live. She had a mission to accomplish and she would see it through. So she set about coming up with a plan to escape. She vowed on Enoshima's name that she'd restore the world to its former glory.
"Where your supporters have failed you, I promise to restore your legacy and spread the truth once more." She smiles and laughs wildly.
"The people seem to have lost their way. If that's the case, then it seems I'll have to lead them back on track. Right, Enoshima-sama?"
