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

The final sacrifice (Chapter 6 part 6)

I left Kyoko alone, she still wanted to stay there for a bit, but for my part, I was done... Honestly, I had looked everywhere on that floor and there was nothing and so I headed to the dojo... I need to change take my mind off of all of this.

I sat down and looked a the trees, though it didn't take long before I was interrupted in my train of thoughts.

Monokuma: Hey Kiddo, so you found the surprise!

Athea: Go away...

Monokuma: No.

I rolled my eyes.

Monokuma: There is something we must talk about, you know how everything that happened and who I am right?

Athea: Yeah.

Monokuma: SO I have made a rule, you aren't allowed to talk during the trial. 

Athea: What the hell, why!?

Monokuma: Too easy, plus I already have something for you, I'd say hold on to your horses because the ride is going to get bumpy!

And after that he disappeared... truth be told... the mastermind was Junko Enoshima... the real one. Mukuro was her in disguise... That I knew... but there was still someone I was wondering about... The guy in my dream... who was he... every time I think of him... I feel weird... 

I was interrupted when I heard someone's voice.

Aoi: Oh, it's you... aren't you investigating?

I turned around and saw Sakura and Aoi together.

Athea: Wish I could... unfortunately... the bear told me I could talk during the trial since I know too much... It would be dumb to go against his wishes...

Sakura: Right... but what are you going to do...

Athea: I'll listen... there isn't much I can do really...

Aoi: What do you think the mastermind has in plan for you? You were the traitor, right? I don't think they'll let you off the hook so easily. 

Athea: If I had to think of the worst-case scenario... I'd say execution. 

Sakura: You haven't killed anyone, it would be against the rules...

I stayed quiet, it was true I hadn't killed anyone in this game...

Athea: I don't know, I just thought of it...

I looked back in front of me.

Sakura: Athea, no matter what you did, we won't give up on you.

Athea: Thank you.

They both left the Dojo, leaving me alone again. I heard something about a motive but didn't budge... I had left the notebook to Kyoko, I didn't want it and what she did with was up to her. 

A couple of minutes went by and I heard a pair of heels, they weren't Kyoko's, but Celeste's.

Athea: Hi Celeste.

Celeste: How did you know it was me? 

Athea: Your heels.

Celeste: So you know who walks in here without looking at them.

Athea: Mmh

Celeste: Well, Aoi told me to come to check on you.

Athea: Did she now...

I heard her get closer.

Celeste: What is wrong Dear.

Athea: I-.... I'll probably get executed by the mastermind... that's what I told her... and don't tell me it's out of the question. 

Celeste: Alright I won't... then what do you want to do.

Athea: Can you stay here with me? Just for a minute or two, you can go back to investigate.

Celeste: I wasn't investigating, Makoto has probably figured most of it and Kyoko will help him...

Athea: If you say so.

And so we stayed there and talk like nothing was happening until the monitor went on... announcing the final class trial.

Celeste: Seems like it's time. 

I got up and hugged her.

Celeste: Darling, if anything happens, I want you to know that you've made this killing game a little less terrible.

I chuckled.

Athea: I could say the same for you. 

I broke off the hug and we walked to the red doors, the walk there seemed to never end. I opened the door and stepped into the elevator without a word.
