Anyways you can get back to reading the story. Thank you for reading and enjoy!

Makoto POV

We all stared in shock as the girl we once knew, and became friends with, collapsed onto the floor, blood surrounding the area around her like a flood. Monokuma stood far away, unfazed by what he just did.

It took a while for any reaction to be made, and when the time came all that could be heard was screaming, hyperventilating and genuinely horrifying noises. All emotions flowed out of everyone, we just watched someones life end! We checked her pulse and made sure of it.

"W-wait... if she's dead then... THIS IS ALL REALLY REAL!?!" Hagakure finally came to terms with the situation, "Yes you dumbass we all figured that out already!" Mondo said with his usual croaky tone, although clearly shaken himself.

A few minutes passed by of grief, attempts of convincing the events didn't really occur and slowly, eventually calming down and coming to terms with this. After everyone seemingly finished their mental breakdowns, we all stared dead straight at Monokuma, clear viciousness in each and every pair of eyes.

He looked at us with blank, emotionless eyes, which we should have expected since he's a robot. Absolutely no reaction to the outburst of emotion, and the thickness of the atmosphere in the whole room.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? I did clearly state that you are *not* allowed to assult the headmaster, didn't I?" He said with a mocking tone. Nobody seemed to care at all about the rule and only focused on the main point, Monokuma had killed our friend, Junko, one of his own students! How can he take a death so lightly!? He's even the one that did it!

Despite the pent up anger in everyones stomachs, nobody seemed to make a statement or try make a move, most likely scared the same would happen to them.

"Aaanyways, back onto the reason I called you all here in the first place before that good for nothing disrupted me. Lets talk about the murder scene, the cause of death and the time it took place! After that you are all free to begin investigating of your own free will." It obviously wasn't of our free will. If we had any speck of free will, we would all be out of here by now.

"Now then, I will now present to you, the Monokuma file!!!" He said enthusiastically, which definately didn't fit the atmosphere at all. What he held in his hand was some black file with an image of him implanted onto it as well as the words 'Monokuma File', with a red square in the corner with the number 1 in grey.

"Hol' up we're seriously just getting into this? You just killed a student right infront of our eyes and we're supposed to believe one of us did this? This is bullcrap!" Mondo yelled, obviously keeping his limits as to not get 'punished' like Junko did.

"Wha, wha, whaa? You think... *I'm* the one who killed the little pop star girl? Hahaha! Nonsense!!!" He yelled and all of us stared at him with disbelief.

Did one of us really kill Sayaka?

Of course none of us did! There's no way anybody here is capable of murdering someone else! Nobody other than the one standing right in front of us. "Are you serious!? There's no way one of us killed someone!" I said but I still had a nervous look on my face, as did everyone else.

"Hold on a second." The stern voice of Byakuya could be heard over the small silence, "just in case this *is* true, and someone really *did* kill Sayaka, doesn't that mean that the killer will be able to graduate?" He asked in a monotone voice, as he seemed unbothered by the events that had took place just a few minutes ago.

"Hm?" Monokuma asked, for once I think he was genuinely curiuos to what someone was going to say. "'Anyone who kills a fellow student and becomes "blackened" will graduate, unless they are discovered'. If I am correct, this means the killer can run free, can they not?" He asked, still not caring for what anyone else has to say except Monokuma. He really does just take this as a game, huh?

"Puhuhuhu! You really think it's that easy? You can just kill someone and waltz outta here? Nonononono, this game would be booooring if it was like that!" He said, confusing everyone with every word that flowed out of his mouth.

(After he explains about the trials and investigation because who wants to listen to all that again?)

Everyone around me was nervous and suspicious of every move and every word that trailed out of a persons mouth, too scared to say anything themselves.

A class trial? What does that mean?

No matter the clear panic that everyone was facing, *she* somehow remained calm. "I see..." She said in an almost whisper. "Well then I would like to go ahead and begin investigating. We don't want to die from the lack of evidence, do we?" Kyoko said, in a calming, soothing voice. I'll admit, she's an interesting person, but kinda freaks me out from how normal she acts, even after all of this.

"Indeed, this game is getting *very*... interesting." Byakuya said, agreeing with her statement. The two monotone voiced participants seemed somewhat intrigued by the school rules, and were eager to get started. I can imagine they are both very good detectives and could probably figure everything out on their own, without any alibis, no nothing. Monokuma looked amused by the others excitement and was excited himself for the investigation to begin.

However, none of us can deny the fear and anxiety we feel.

If we get this wrong or make one wrong move, we'll die.

That is what I can only imagine is going through everyones minds at the moment, except the killer of course. But no matter what, we needed to put all our worries beside, and focus on the thing we need to keep us alive. We needed to face our fears and overcome the worry and fear inside each and every one of us. We need... no *I* need...

To bring justice to Sayaka.
