A despairing memory (Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc Fan-fiction)

Boys' life of Despair (Chapter 2 part 4)

I woke up to the announcement once again. I went ahead and dress up to go to the dining hall. Surprisingly, I was the last one to arrive.

Taka: Is this... everyone? It feel a little... small. Even the table looks bigger, somehow. 

Celeste: I assume that is because three people are dead, and two are abstaining.

Makoto: Yeah, with five people missing, I guess it *would* feel kinda empty.

Aoi: Still... I know Byakuya's whatever, but shouldn't we go check on Toko?

Yasuhiro: I vote no. She's super annoying. 

Celeste: How can you be so cold? You are like a piece of rock candy.

Taka: What!? No, rock candy isn't cold! It's sweet!

Mondo: Anyway, Byakuya's the real problem. If we don't keep and eye on him, he might really kill someone. You can see it in his eyes... We got no choice! Get some rope! We're gonna hafta keep him bound and gagged!

Makoto: I think that's going a little overboard...

Taka: He's right! In this situation, there's nothing scarier than when an ally turns loose cannon! It's  just like when we were kids, and someone would go crazy at sports day or whatever!

Mondo: What the fuck are you talking about!? You gonna use the rope to do tug of war or something!? Idiot!

Taka: I'm not an idiot...! YOU'RE an idiot!

Mondo: Who are you callin' stupid!?

Makoto: Huh? What's wrong. Chihiro? You don't look so great...

Chihiro: Oh, I'm just going through a little... self-loathing. 

Makoto: Huh? Self-loathing?

Chihiro: Well, after what Byakuya said to me yesterday... I just got so nervous, I locked up. I couldn't say anything. Mondo ended up having to help me out. And even *he* said I was someone who "can't fight back"... I...I hate how weak I am.

I was confused by what was going, but right after I left they probably kept somehow of a discussion going.

Aoi: Ahh, I see. So Mondo made you depressed. 

Mondo: What!? How's it *my* fault!? I wasn't tryin' to be mean! Besides, girls are just naturally weak anyway right!?

Chihiro started to cry. I crouched beside him and  dried his tear with my glove.

Asu: Don't listen to him. Remeber what I told you yesterday.

Mondo: A-Are you... crying...?

Aoi: It's cuz you were screaming like a lunatic!

Mondo: Hey, c'mon, don't cry... I-It's my fault, okay? I won't yell at you anymore...

I took and handkerchief out of my pocket and handed to Chihiro so he could wipe his tears.

Aoi: Really? Not sure I can believe that...

Mondo: J-Just shut up... I got it! I'll make you a promise as a man! 

Chihiro: Promise... as a man?

Mondo: Maybe I mentioned this before, but... Ever since I was a kid, there was one thing my brother told me over and over again... He said that no matter what, a real man ALWAYS keeps his promises. That's what he left me.
