Chapter 1: Rats in a Cage, Part III (Daily Life)
----
I didn't really know what to do. Nobody did, in fact. Monokuma had just told us that at least one of us had been doing and selling drugs - and threatened to reveal it to the whole wide world. Considering how much of a big deal that is in this country, it was reason enough for someone to take him up on his rather disturbing offer.
Miyuki: He must be kidding...
Yashiro: I don't believe it's nonsense.
Takeshi: Look, ehh...
Ringo: What?
Takeshi: I need a moment. By myself, of course.
Ringo: Right then, if you say so.
Shun: Goddamnit. It just feels so unreal!
Akihiro: Nothing does.
Goh: Look, bros, don't worry!
Akihiro: "Bro"?
Goh: Look, it's what the youth are calling themselves now!
Akihiro: Hmph. Too informal, I say.
Goh: Dude, stop being such a killjoy!
Akihiro: This is dead serious, Goh!
Kenji: No time for jokes here!
Goh: Oh. My bad, then.
Junpei: Someone's gonna burn. I'm sure.
Momiji: You know, my sister believed in everyone. But after what happened to her, I can't.
Junpei: Strange minds think alike, huh? For me, it was Towa City that destroyed my innocence. My friend's sweet pink hair, drenched in her own blood...
Shion: Towa City? Just what are they talking about?
Daisuke: I don't know myself...
Momiji: Surprised you didn't mention what Junko-
Junpei: Ah yes, that as well.
Shion: Huh...? Excuse me? Are the doors open?
As if to answer her question, Yashiro had made his way towards the gymnasium doors and opened them.
Yashiro: They are, lost little lamb. And-
Monokuma: Hmm?
Shun: What the hell?!
Ayaka: This can't be real!
Monokuma: Oh, I assure you, it is.
Daisuke: How did he get there?!
Yashiro: Only God knows...
Junpei: God? Heh. This truly isn't helping restore my faith.
Yashiro: In what, you say?
Junpei: Humanity.
The bear had, by then, walked back into the gymnasium and was now standing in the middle, as if to add something to his previous speech.
Monokuma: Oh, I forgot to tell you all, but...
Ayaka: But what? Spit it out, already.
Yae: Nobody's coming to help us, aren't they?
Monokuma: Yep! You're all stranded in the middle of nowhere and only I know of a way out!
Ringo: But what about the police-
Monokuma: Nope! You can't trust them, and even if you could, they're currently on a wild goose chase. Either that, or they have no idea about where you all are! Upupupu~
