The Vision Of A Mad Man - A Danganronpa Mastermind AU

Chapter Sixteen

Mondo couldn't help but give a victory-filled smile at Kiyotaka's embarrassed silence.
"Are you gonna be watching this chick the whole time?" He then asked. Though it was very rude of him to say it in such a way, mainly because it was his fault, he couldn't help but grow a little tired of the thought of Angie's injury taking the boy away.
"Someone has to...I didn't think you'd have anyone you'd like to ask." He cleared his throat, turning away to look back over at her. "People are going to become concerned with her whereabouts eventually however so at least some people have to know." He knew that he'd be intensely questioned by the other students if they just found him hanging around her unconscious body. If they just left her there however, there'd be even more concerns.
"Well...no, not exactly," Mondo muttered. "It doesn't seem like a lot of the folks here are very fond of me anyhow, so good luck with that!" He grinned, patting Kiyotaka on the back before he started to head for the door. "Just come find me when you're done, alright?"
"When I'm do-...?" He stared at him, a little confused and honestly irritated. "Mondo, do you not understand the concept of a coma?! If that does happen, I'd be here for days, even months! If she is left unstuperviosed she could die - murder or otherwise." He was practically yelling at this point, moving over to stand firm in front of the biker. "I am willing to take duty of care for your actions, but are you not the least bit concerned for her well being?" Owada stayed quiet at first and glanced back at Angie before finally answering.
"Means I get to leave if she dies, right?" He asked, tilting his head slightly. Sure, he did feel bad, especially since it was a girl, but he didn't want to continue worrying about it so much. "Yeah I'm worried an' all, but we can just get someone to watch her." He then grumbled. He knew suspicion would rise once everyone found out about Yonaga, and it did worry him a little. It wouldn't be a shock if he got locked in a room.
"Not exactly Mondo. First of all, you can't be found out. Second of all, if you do manage to deceive the court, and have them vote incorrectly, those participating will die. You will effectively kill 15 people for your own survival." He gave him a practically blank stare, thinking for a moment before he took Owada's hands in his. If this version of the man was so willing to throw away the life of another, perhaps that could be of use. "...however...deceive the mastermind and only two people die this time. Think about it Mondo. Do you really want to be alone on the outside? What if Daiya really is dead? What if it's all a wasteland? What if we're not in Japan at all? Kill her and leave and I die along with the rest. God knows what the mastermind would do with you."

He hated that Kiyotaka was ultimately right in the end.

Daiya could be long dead with the world gone to shit and he'd be alone once again. He thought he'd escaped such a thing by now.
"Doesn't change the fact we gotta find someone..." the biker eventually sighed, lifting up Kiyotaka's hands within his own and placed a small kiss against them. A small smile spread over the moral compass's face at the action, glancing over at Angie for a moment as he thought.
"Well, aside from myself, does anyone seem to trust you? It may seem like a small backstab but sacrifices must be made." Ishimaru gently said, staring at their hands for a while. He found it incredibly interesting how it seemed with each passing reset, Mondo would trust and even love him faster and faster. Nothing would ever come close to feeling like their first meeting ever again, but it was always nice to not have to put in as much work. Plus, this time round his morals seemed...skewed, which may also prove useful.
"Hm...that Hiro guy seemed pretty chill." Mondo replied. "Everyone just kinda ignored me or glared. Especially some weird guy with rats hanging onto him." The biker glanced over at Angie, staring for a good moment.
It'd be easier if she was dead.
Yet he couldn't do that. Kiyotaka was being so insistent on it.
"Oh yes...that would be Tanaka...they're also hamsters. Very different types of rodents. Most obvious by their difference in sound-." He scoffed, turning away slightly, "Why on earth am I defending him?" He said more or less to himself, a little annoyed at how much he always seemed to correct people. He sighed, looking back. "Hiro is well...an idiot. He'd never be able to care for someone unless told specifically how to do so." If Mondo just knew he was the mastermind this wouldn't be so much effort. He was just scared he'd be beaten to death if he revealed himself now.
"Well shit, man! I don't know! What the fuck do you want me to do then?" The biker huffed. He was honestly starting to get annoyed with this predicament and a little of Kiyotaka himself. "You seem like you know everyone here, so why is it so difficult?" Walking away, Owada went over to Angie and quietly looked down at her. Part of him just wanted to snuff her out right here and now, but a strange feeling of guilt washed over him. Kiyotaka stared at Mondo for a while.
What if he does just kill her? Would he start to suspect me if he survives the trial?
It was true, this did seem to be incredibly difficult. He was probably just over thinking it all. Though, he decided to hell with it. If this screws up again, nothing a little blackmail and torture can't fix. Ishimaru made his way over to stand next to Owada, placing his hands on his shoulders.
"Do you want to kill her?"
The question itself was more than startling, but the fact it came from Kiyotaka seemingly made it worse. After a moment of silence filled the room, the biker did eventually speak. "Are.. Are you the mastermind?" Mondo softly asked, his gaze falling on the other. If he were right about his thinking, it'd explain a whole lot about how he acted around himself and the others. One minute he was friendly and worried over others, and then the next asking him if he wanted to kill someone.
